โœจ 3 Nutrition Needs for Someone on a GLP-1 Inhibitor aka Ozempic & Wegovy ๐Ÿ’‰

GLP-1 inhibitors like Ozempic and Wegovy have surged in popularity for managing type 2 diabetes and supporting weight loss. While these medications can be effective, they also impact digestion and appetite โ€” making nutrition a critical piece of the puzzle. Here are the top 3 nutritional needs for those on GLP-1 medications, and how naturopathic medicine can help.

1. Protein Intake for Muscle Preservation ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช

GLP-1 inhibitors suppress appetite, which often leads to reduced food intake. This can unintentionally cause muscle loss. Prioritizing high-quality protein (like eggs, legumes, fish, and lean meats) throughout the day supports metabolism, energy, and long-term weight management.

2. Fiber for Healthy Digestion ๐Ÿซ˜๐Ÿฆ ๐Ÿ’ฉ

Slowed gastric emptying is a known side effect of GLP-1s, which can lead to constipation and bloating. Soluble fiber (from oats, chia seeds, flax, and cooked veggies) helps support regularity and feed beneficial gut bacteria. Adequate hydration is essential too.

3. Micronutrient Repletion ๐Ÿง๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿ“‹

With smaller portions and altered digestion, patients may fall short on key nutrients like B12, magnesium, and iron. A naturopathic doctor (ND) can assess for deficiencies and recommend supportive supplementation or food-based strategies.

Why Naturopathic Medicine Is a Great Fit โœจ๐Ÿฉบ

Naturopathic doctors take a holistic, individualized approach to care โ€” ideal for people navigating medication-related changes. NDs can guide patients in creating sustainable nutrition and lifestyle habits, support digestive health, and address any side effects naturally. They also understand how to work alongside conventional medications to optimize outcomes safely.

If you're using a GLP-1 inhibitor and want support beyond the prescription, naturopathic medicine offers the whole-person care you deserve โ€” grounded in science, rooted in nourishment, and designed to help you thrive.
