The hottest topic for the last year in the health and wellness industry has been the introduction of GLP1 medications for not only blood sugar management but for weight loss benefits.

We believe that these types of medications definitely have their place in the health and wellness industry. We recommend to outline with your doctor the reasons why you are doing this and any long-term effects of using this medication can have. It is also very important to discuss the do’s and dont’s in order to be successful. 

Here are some of the tips to follow:

Do’s

🌿 Increase lean meat intake (chicken, fish etc)

 🌿 Increase fibre intake (helps reduce constipation and intestinal symptoms from the medication)

🌿 Eat fruits and vegetables everyday

🌿 Exercise regularly to reduce the loss of muscle and improve bone density etc

🌿 Stay hydrated

Dont’s

🌿 Don’t stop exercising (resistance training is essential to maintain muscle mass and bone density)

🌿 Don’t eat highly processed foods, added sugars, pop, white breads or spicy foods

🌿 Don’t drink alcohol excessively
