GLP-1s can reduce hunger so much that you may stop eating enough without realizing it.

Weight loss may be the goal, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘯, 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨.

If you’re taking a GLP-1, don’t just watch the scale. 𝐏𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲, 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡, 𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠.

Losing weight and being well-nourished are not always the same thing.

If you started a GLP-1 and you're proud of barely eating anymore, I need you to hear this.

These meds are so good at killing appetite that it's easy to slide under 800 calories a day without feeling restricted.

Remember that even without an appetite, your body runs on nutrients - macronutrients, micronutrients, and phytonutrients. And you need all of them, all of the time.

𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭:
→ Are you eating protein first at every meal?
→ Are you eating on a schedule, even when you're not hungry?
→ Are your calories dense enough to provide real nutrients?

If you're not sure where you land on any of that — that's literally what we do. Link in bio to book with our RD team.

You came into my life as a surprise and we were instantly besties.
You've been with me through 23,747 smoothies, dozens of soups, nut butters, sauces, adult beverages, dips, and so much more. You've loved and been loved for many years and for that I am grateful. You will be dearly missed...

Most people don't realize how much of their identity is tied to food.

"𝘐'𝘮 𝘢 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘳." "𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘩." "𝘐'𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺."

Starting a GLP-1 can change all of these.

These medications work by slowing digestion and blunting appetite and hunger signals. But food isn't just what fuels and nourishes us. It's reward. It's routine. It's how some people create connection.

I've watched this play out three different ways:

𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 — her one reward at the end of a hard day. The craving disappeared on a GLP-1, and she described it as losing a small piece of joy in her day.

𝐀𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐚𝐲 — it was how she broke up her workday and created routine. When early fullness set in, she lost that built-in structure and felt a little lost by mid afternoon.

𝐀 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐬 "𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤" 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 — Sunday dinners, holidays, all her. Three months in, she dread being in a kitchen she used to love.

𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 — 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

This is a normal reaction, but one that no one talks about. It doesn't mean something's broken, it's just different.

If a GLP-1 has changed how you relate to food, your relationship can be rebuilt. It just might look different for a while — and that's a lot easier to navigate when you know it's coming.

My new fave weekend breakfast - Oatmeal Pro Pancakes

Blend 1/2 cup rolled oats (gluten free if you need) in the blender to make oat flour

Add 2 whole eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
Splash vanilla extract
Pinch salt

Blend it all together on low-medium speed to make a batter. It will be thick.
Cook in a pan on low the same way you'd make pancakes.

This makes 2 large pancakes. The texture is a little denser because there is no leavening powder, but they are delicious!

I came across this recipe somewhere, I did not create it. But I've been enjoying it and I hope you do too!

Nobody tells you this before you start.

GLP-1s aren't just appetite suppressants. They quiet the food noise, the mental loop that makes every meal a challenge, to allow you to choose foods that nourish your body.

But that also means:
→ You'll likely eat smaller amounts more often (4-5x/day), not less often
→ Protein, fiber, and hydration stop being "nice to have" and become the whole game
→ Skipping those isn't a minor tradeoff, it's how people lose muscle instead of fat

If you're starting a GLP-1 without a plan for this, you're not set up to succeed on it.

That's the gap we fill. LINK IN BIO.

A lot of people with GERD are told to “𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘴.”

But it’s not always that simple.

We see this all the time. Someone cuts out coffee, tomatoes, spicy foods, and everything else they’ve been told to avoid, but they’re still dealing with reflux.

Why? Because how much you eat, how quickly you eat, how well your stomach empties, and what you do after a meal can matter just as much.

If you’re dealing with reflux, don’t just look at the food. Look at the bigger picture.

We are at the height of travel season, and the thing that never gets talked about is how difficult it can be to go to the bathroom when you're on vacay.

𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦.

Your gut has its own nervous system (yes, really, it's called "the second brain"), and it really needs to feel safe. New bathrooms, thin hotel walls, and that slight "𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵" anxiety tells your body now isn't the time to relax. But that's exactly what your body needs to p**p.

There are a few things you can do make "going" easier:

1. try eating at about the same time as usual
2. front-load fiber and water at breakfast.
3. allow for a short walk after meals
4. give yourself real, unrushed bathroom time.

Full breakdown on the blog this week (link in bio).

If this happens on every single trip, that's a pattern worth solving. Give us a call!

A lot of "healthy foods" marketed as high fiber or for gut health are loaded with inulin or chicory root. Sounds intriguing but they're actually one of the most fermentable fibers out there — your gut bacteria attack it fast, and fast fermentation means gas.

We see this constantly. Someone's eating clean, doing everything "right," and can't figure out why they're bloated by 2pm. We flip the label over. There it is — 𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧, 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭, 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡.

If your gut is sensitive, look at the ingredients. Inulin and chicory root are the ones to ease up on first — not fiber as a whole.

Full breakdown is on the blog: which fibers help, which ones backfire, and how to tell the difference before you buy. Link in bio — read it before your next Target run.

Two people eat the exact same amount of fiber.

One feels fine. The other's bloated within the hour.

That happens because of 𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 - how fast your gut bacteria breaks down the fiber. If it breaks down too fast, you get gas.

If you compare oats vs. onions. Both fiber. Oats are slow and gentle on the gut. Onions ferment fast - and if your gut is sensitive, the gas happens faster than your body can move it through.

It may not be the amount of fiber, but the type and how quickly your gut bacteria is responding.
