What is Weight-Loss Medication Counseling?
Along with our regular services, Kylie also offers specialized dietary counseling for clients taking GLP-1 medications, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro.
This type of counseling refers to the specialized dietary care required for patients taking these medications. Kylie's personalized nutritional strategies can enhance their effectiveness, manage side effects, and improve overall well-being.
Research shows that people who stop taking GLP-1 medications can gain up to two-thirds of their weight back. This weight rebound can have a significant physical and emotional toll. In order to keep the weight off in a sustainable way, Kylie helps her clients to focus on the necessary lifestyle changes that would have otherwise been ignored.
WEIGHT-LOSS MEDICATION

Unfortunately, the use of these medications can cause several side effects as well. These may include:
​
-
Gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain
-
Chronic nausea and/or vomiting
-
Malnutrition and specific deficiencies due to severely reduced appetite
-
Significant loss of muscle mass
-
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
​Personalized nutrition therapy can provide the expertise and support needed to navigate these challenges, tailored to individual medication types, preferences, and unique needs.

To help address our clients’ concerns while using these medications, personalized dietary counseling can specifically help to:
-
Prevent nutrient deficiencies and imbalances
-
Manage gastrointestinal issues
-
Preserve muscle mass
-
Decrease the frequency of weight-loss plateaus
-
Implement changes for improved appetite control
-
Adjust dietary habits to counter the need for long-term medication use
-
Promote positive behavior change and habit formation
-
Prevent the high risk of weight gain (rebound) in maintenance
With or without the use of weight-loss medications, Kylie’s highly customized nutrition program helps to support a healthier and more sustainable weight-loss journey.
