Sophie Medlin, a dietitian with 20 years of experience specializing in gastrointestinal health, shared key points for patients taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro. She emphasized that these drugs are not a quick fix and must be combined with healthy lifestyle changes, including regular exercise and a balanced diet with protein to maintain muscle mass and bone density. Medlin also noted that a dose may be too high if a patient cannot eat. GLP-1s can be life-changing for those needing to lose weight for medical reasons by mimicking fullness hormones and slowing digestion.
