In this episode of Health Recoded, we break down how to eat on GLP-1 medications and how to support your body with proper nutrition while using medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro.

GLP-1 medications can significantly change appetite, digestion, and hunger cues — but without proper nutrition, many people experience fatigue, muscle loss, and worsening side effects.

In this episode, we cover how to fuel your body properly so you can support metabolism, maintain muscle, and feel your best while on a GLP-1.

We discuss:
-The biggest nutrition mistakes people make on GLP-1 medications
-How GLP-1s affect appetite, digestion, and metabolism
-The importance of protein, fiber, and balanced macronutrients
-What a balanced day of eating actually looks like
-Common food-related questions and concerns
