Still Exhausted on Your GLP-1? Here's What's Actually Going On.
The nausea. The constipation. The appetite that's just... gone. Getting enough protein in some days can feel like a full-time job on its own.
You're left wondering what "normal" weight loss is even supposed to look like on these medications — and how you're meant to feed your family when the thought of food barely crosses your mind for yourself.
And your GP visits don't leave much room to ask. In and out in five minutes: weigh-in, script, next.
You weren't after a shortcut. You wanted to actually understand how to eat differently, and make it stick.
That's where I come in. I'll help you eat enough to protect your muscle, energy, and metabolism while your medication does its job — so you know exactly what to eat, how to manage the side effects, and how to feed yourself (and your family) without the guesswork.
What We'll Actually Work On Together
• Getting enough protein in, even when your appetite has disappeared
• Managing nausea, constipation, and other side effects through food
• Protecting your muscle mass and energy so you don't just lose weight — you lose it well
• Understanding what "normal" progress looks like for your body, not someone else's
• Feeding your family and yourself without it becoming two separate jobs
• Building habits that will still work after you come off the medication

• Comprehensive nutrition assessment tailored to where you're at
• Personalised meal and protein strategies that fit real life
• Practical, food-based solutions for side effects
• Regular check-ins as your dose or needs change
• Collaborative care alongside your prescribing doctor
• Guidance for the long term — not just while you're on the medication

This is one of the most common challenges we work through together. There are practical, low-effort ways to get enough protein in even when food is the last thing on your mind — we'll find what works for you.
We'll work on simple strategies so you're not running two separate kitchens — one for you, one for everyone else.
Yes. Many side effects can be improved through nutrition and lifestyle adjustments. Your dietitian will work with you to identify strategies tailored to your symptoms.
Without proper nutrition support, weight loss on GLP-1 medications can include muscle loss. Your dietitian will help ensure you're eating enough protein and staying active to protect lean muscle mass.
This varies by individual, but many clients benefit from regular check-ins — especially during dose increases or when experiencing new side effects. Your dietitian will recommend a schedule based on your needs.
That's a great time to start! We can help you understand what to expect, prepare your nutrition foundations, and support your decision-making process alongside your doctor.
