GLP-1 care starts with a foundation
Food, movement and follow-up remain part of weight-management care.
The guide, in text
Nourish consistently
Build meals around protein-rich foods, vegetables, fruit, whole grains and other nutrient-dense choices. A dietitian can help when appetite is low.
Move for health
Combine regular activity with strength training suited to your ability. Start with manageable steps and build gradually.
Hydration + recovery
Drink regularly, protect sleep and discuss persistent nausea, vomiting or difficulty eating with your care team.
Track what matters
Review energy, strength, food tolerance and progress. Medication choice and treatment goals belong in a clinical conversation.
Keep the categories clear
Approved medicines and investigational compounds are different. This guide does not recommend retatrutide, recovery stacks or mitochondrial protocols.
