GLP-1 medications have changed the conversation around weight and metabolic health, and for many people they've been genuinely life-changing. But medication is only one piece of the picture. Whether you're just starting out, feeling frustrated that things aren't progressing the way you expected, or thinking about adjusting your dose, working with a dietitian alongside your prescriber can make a real difference to how you feel and how sustainable your results are.
Here's how I support people at each stage of their GLP-1 journey.
New to GLP-1s? Let's Set You Up Well From the Start
Starting a new medication can feel overwhelming, especially when appetite and digestion shift so quickly. In our first sessions together, we'll focus on:
Eating enough of the right things — appetite suppression can make it easy to under-eat, which risks muscle loss and nutrient gaps. We'll build a simple, realistic eating plan that protects your energy and strength.
Managing side effects — nausea, reflux, and constipation are common early on. There are practical, food-based strategies that can ease a lot of this discomfort.
Understanding your body composition — using InBody scanning in clinic, we can track changes in muscle versus fat over time, not just the number on the scale. This gives us a much clearer, more useful picture of progress.
Setting expectations that work for you — GLP-1s affect everyone differently, and there's no single "right" pace of change.
Getting these foundations right early tends to make the whole journey smoother.
Let's Work Together
Whatever stage you're at, my approach is weight-inclusive and focused on how you actually feel — your energy, your digestion, your relationship with food — not just a number on the scale. If you're on a GLP-1 medication and would like some extra support, I'd love to help.
