Weight-loss injections are making headlines as a breakthrough in obesity treatment. If you’re currently using or considering one of these medications, I can help you make the essential diet and lifestyle changes needed to support your health and maximise results during treatment.
Nutrition & Lifestyle Support for Weight Loss Injections
With the rise in popularity and increased prescribing of weight-loss injections like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, both through the NHS and privately, it’s more important than ever to have the right nutrition and lifestyle support in place while on these medications.
Why Support Matters
These medications, originally developed for type 2 diabetes, work by increasing the hormone GLP-1, which helps you feel fuller, faster, reducing your appetite and supporting weight loss.
But eating less can sometimes mean you’re not getting the nutrients your body needs, which may lead to:
Fatigue and low energy
Poor sleep
Nutrient deficiencies
Longer-term health issues
That’s why proper nourishment is essential during your weight-loss journey.
Medication Isn’t a Long-Term Solution
It’s important to understand that these medications are not intended for long-term use. Studies show that weight is often regained once the medication is stopped, unless lasting lifestyle and dietary changes are made.
We’ll work together to create small, manageable changes that fit into your life, based on your preferences, schedule, and budget. These sustainable habits will make it easier to maintain your results once you stop the medication.
Whole-Body Support
Ongoing lifestyle changes don’t just support weight loss, they can also help improve or manage:
Type 2 diabetes
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Metabolic syndrome
Additionally, if you’re experiencing side effects like nausea or headaches, we can explore nutrition and lifestyle strategies to help reduce their impact.
Boost GLP-1 Naturally Through Your Diet
Did you know your diet can help boost GLP-1, the same hormone targeted by weight-loss injections?
As mentioned, medications like Ozempic and Wegovy were originally developed to help manage blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 diabetes. During treatment, doctors noticed a significant side effect: weight loss. That’s because better blood sugar control often leads to reduced appetite and weight reduction.
These medications work by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone that helps regulate appetite and promotes feelings of fullness, so you naturally eat less. But here’s the good news: your body already produces GLP-1, and certain foods can help stimulate its natural production.
By focusing on a diet that supports GLP-1, you can achieve similar results, weight loss and improved blood sugar control, without relying on medication or experiencing unpleasant side effects.
This is a sustainable, long-term approach to weight loss that supports your health and well-being from the inside out.
