Your GLP-1 Bestie
What I Wish I Knew Before Starting a GLP-1 (As a Dietitian and Certified Personal Trainer)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If I could go back and start my GLP-1 journey all over again, there are a lot of things I would do differently.
Not because I regret taking a GLP-1—but because there were lessons I had to learn through experience that I wish someone had told me from the very beginning.
In this episode, Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer, and GLP-1 user Gianna Beasley shares the biggest things she wishes she knew before starting Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and GLP-1 medications, including the nutrition, mindset, and lifestyle lessons that made the biggest difference.
We’re covering:
- The mistakes I made early in my GLP-1 journey
- Why protein matters more than most people realize
- The importance of hydration and side effect management
- Why I wish I focused less on the scale and more on strength
- The mental health and mindset work I wish I had done sooner
- Why comparison is one of the fastest ways to sabotage your progress
- What actually matters for long-term success on a GLP-1
- The advice I would give myself if I were starting over today
Whether you’re considering a GLP-1, just getting started, or have been taking one for a while, this episode will help you avoid common pitfalls and focus on what truly supports your health and success.
