GLP-1 medications can change the way you eat. Nutrition support can help you make sure your body is still getting what it needs.
When appetite and food intake change, it can be challenging to meet your body's needs for protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and adequate nourishment. Our goal is to help you feel well, protect muscle and bone health, support digestion and energy, and develop an approach to eating that is sustainable and individualized to you.
Our dietitians provide individualized nutrition support for people taking GLP-1 medications, with a focus on:
Because one of our specialties is eating disorders and disordered eating, we also understand that GLP-1 medications require additional consideration for anyone with a current or past history of an eating disorder. These medications may not be appropriate for everyone, and nutrition care should take both physical and psychological health into account.
Our role is not to prescribe GLP-1 medications or determine whether you should take one. We work alongside you and your medical provider to help you stay well-nourished and supported if a GLP-1 medication is part of your treatment.
