Does your GLP-1 feel like it's working great for the first few days after your injection...only for your hunger to suddenly come roaring back right before your next shot? If you've ever reached day five, six, or seven and thought, "Wait—is my GLP-1 wearing off?" you're definitely not the only one who's wondered. In this episode of Your GLP-1 Bestie, Registered Dietitian and GLP-1 user Gianna Beasley breaks down why your appetite may feel different throughout your injection week, why feeling hungry doesn't automatically mean your medication stopped working, and what to actually do when your appetite gets louder. We're also talking about one BIG mistake that can make those hungrier days feel even more dramatic: barely eating during the days when your appetite is lowest. Because bestie, hunger is not proof that your GLP-1 isn't working. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why you may feel hungrier before your next GLP-1 injectionWhether your weekly GLP-1 actually "wears off" before your next doseWhy appetite can feel different throughout your injection weekHow eating too little earlier in the week may affect how hungry you feel laterWhy hunger isn't a side effect we need to completely eliminateThe difference between manageable hunger and feeling consumed by hunger or food noiseWhy you shouldn't "save calories" on your low-appetite daysWhat to eat when your appetite increasesWhy eating more on a hungrier day doesn't mean you've done something wrongWhether increased hunger automatically means you need a higher doseHow to track your hunger patterns throughout the weekWhen changes in hunger, fullness, or food noise are worth discussing with your prescriber 💖 WAYS TO WORK WITH ME If you’re tired of guessing what to eat, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or trying to protect your muscle while losing weight… ✨ Join The GLP-1 Circle — my membership for support, strategy, and community ✨ Apply for 1:1 Coaching for high touch, personalized nutrition and fitness guidance aka the ultimate bestie experience Book a one time consult with me here (Use code PODCAST for a discount) FREE: Labs to Request Annually  Connect with Me: IG: https://www.instagram.com/dietitian.gianna/ Website: https://www.giannabeasley.com/  **Disclaimer: This episode and this podcast are not medical advice, consult with your own pr...

Feeling absolutely exhausted since starting your GLP-1? Maybe you're losing weight and your appetite is finally quieter…but suddenly you're dragging through the afternoon, struggling through workouts, or wondering why you could take a nap at literally any moment. So—is fatigue just a normal part of taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound? Or is something else going on? In this episode of Your GLP-1 Bestie, Registered Dietitian Gianna Beasley breaks down some of the reasons you may be feeling tired on a GLP-1—and what you can actually do about it. We're talking about eating too little, accidentally cutting out carbohydrates, dehydration, sleep, dose changes, and why persistent fatigue shouldn't automatically be blamed on your medication. Because feeling exhausted isn't something I want you to simply "push through" in the name of weight loss. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why fatigue can happen while taking a GLP-1Why "GLP-1 fatigue" isn't always caused by one thingHow eating significantly less can affect your energyWhy getting enough protein isn't the same as getting enough overall nutritionWhy carbohydrates still belong in your diet on a GLP-1How dehydration can contribute to feeling tired, weak, or lightheadedWhy sleep still matters—even when your nutrition is on pointWhy fatigue may become more noticeable around a dose changeWhy you shouldn't assume every new symptom is caused by your GLP-1Other reasons fatigue may need to be evaluated by your healthcare providerWhy you shouldn't automatically reach for iron, B12, or other supplements without knowing whether you actually need themWhen fatigue deserves a conversation with your healthcare team 💖 WAYS TO WORK WITH ME If you’re tired of guessing what to eat, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or trying to protect your muscle while losing weight… ✨ Join The GLP-1 Circle — my membership for support, strategy, and community ✨ Apply for 1:1 Coaching for high touch, personalized nutrition and fitness guidance aka the ultimate bestie experience Book a one time consult with me here (Use code PODCAST for a discount) FREE: Labs to Request Annually  Connect with Me: IG: https://www.instagram.com/dietitian.gianna/ Website: https://www.giannabeasley.com/  **Disclaimer: This episode and this podcast are not medical advice, consult with your own pr...

Just started a GLP-1 and wondering what you're actually supposed to do now? Maybe you just took your first dose of Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound. Maybe you're a few weeks in and wondering why you don't feel dramatically different yet. Or maybe your prescription is sitting in the refrigerator and you're trying to figure out how to do this "right" from day one. This episode is your GLP-1 beginner's guide. As both a Registered Dietitian who works with GLP-1 users and someone who has been taking a GLP-1 myself since 2022, I'm walking you through the seven things I want you to focus on when you're starting your medication. We're talking realistic expectations, nutrition, protein, hydration, constipation, strength training, tracking your progress, and why comparing your first month to someone else's TikTok transformation is one of the fastest ways to make yourself miserable. You do NOT need to have your entire GLP-1 journey figured out during your first week. Let's start with what actually matters. In This Episode, You'll Learn What to focus on when you first start a GLP-1Why you may not notice dramatic changes after your first injectionWhy your first few weeks don't determine whether your GLP-1 is "working"Why eating as little as possible should never be the goalHow to start prioritizing protein from the beginningWhy hydration, fiber, and bowel habits deserve your attention earlyWhy strength training matters during GLP-1 weight lossHow to think about preserving muscle while losing weightWhat to track besides the number on the scaleWhy food noise, hunger, energy, strength, digestion, and habits are all valuable informationHow social media can completely distort your expectations of GLP-1 weight lossWhy someone else's progress is not a benchmark for your bodyWhen to reach out to your healthcare team for additional support 💖 WAYS TO WORK WITH ME If you’re tired of guessing what to eat, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or trying to protect your muscle while losing weight… ✨ Join The GLP-1 Circle — my membership for support, strategy, and community ✨ Apply for 1:1 Coaching for high touch, personalized nutrition and fitness guidance aka the ultimate bestie experience Book a one time consult with me here (Use code PODCAST for a discount) FREE: Labs to Request Annually  Connect with Me: IG: https://www.instagram.com/dietitian.gianna/ Website: https://www.giannabeasley.com/  **Disclaimer: This episode and this podcast are not medical advice, consult with your own pr...

What should your plate actually look like when you're taking a GLP-1? You've heard you need protein. You've heard you need fiber. You know eating as little as possible isn't the goal. But when it comes time to actually make breakfast, lunch, or dinner...what are you supposed to put together? In this episode of Your GLP-1 Bestie, Registered Dietitian Gianna Beasley breaks down a simple, flexible framework for building balanced meals while taking medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. We're talking protein, produce, carbohydrates, and fats—and why you don't need to perfectly portion your plate, weigh your food, track every macro, or force yourself to eat a giant pile of vegetables when your appetite is already low. You'll also hear real-life meal examples and learn how to adjust this framework for smaller appetites, early fullness, nausea, busy days, and those times when nothing sounds particularly good. Because a balanced plate should make eating on a GLP-1 simpler, not more stressful. In This Episode, You'll Learn A simple framework for building balanced meals on a GLP-1Why a balanced plate is a framework—not a rigid formulaWhy protein is often a helpful place to startHow fruits and vegetables fit into your mealsWhy carbohydrates absolutely still belong on your plateThe role dietary fat plays in a balanced mealWhy you don't need four separate foods to "check every box"Real-life examples of balanced GLP-1 breakfasts, lunches, and dinnersHow to modify your plate when you get full quicklyWhy the traditional "half your plate vegetables" advice may not work for everyone with a significantly reduced appetiteWhat to eat on days when your appetite is especially lowHow to stop turning nutrition recommendations into another set of diet rulesThe 10 second meal check method 💖 WAYS TO WORK WITH ME If you’re tired of guessing what to eat, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or trying to protect your muscle while losing weight… ✨ Join The GLP-1 Circle — my membership for support, strategy, and community ✨ Apply for 1:1 Coaching for high touch, personalized nutrition and fitness guidance aka the ultimate bestie experience Book a one time consult with me here (Use code PODCAST for a discount) FREE: Labs to Request Annually  Connect with Me: IG: https://www.instagram.com/dietitian.gianna/ Website: https://www.giannabeasley.com/  **Disclaimer: This episode and this podcast are not medical advice, consult with your own pr...

Are you actually eating enough on your GLP-1? If you're taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound, you may be eating significantly less than you did before—and that's partly the point. But there's an important difference between having a reduced appetite and not adequately nourishing your body. Maybe you're rarely hungry anymore. Maybe you get to the end of the day and realize you've barely eaten. Or maybe the scale is moving quickly, so you've assumed that eating as little as possible means your medication is "working." In this episode, Registered Dietitian and GLP-1 expert Gianna breaks down how to recognize when your intake may be too low, why eating enough still matters during weight loss, and practical ways to nourish yourself when your appetite has practically disappeared. Because your GLP-1 may reduce your appetite—but it doesn't reduce your body's need for nutrition. In this episode, you'll learn: How to tell if you may not be eating enough on a GLP-1Why having no appetite isn't necessarily the goalSigns that may warrant a closer look at your nutritionWhy fatigue, weakness, dizziness, constipation, and hair changes can sometimes be clues—but can also have other causesWhy eating only once or twice a day can make meeting your nutrition needs difficultWhy faster weight loss isn't automatically better weight lossHow under-fueling can affect energy, muscle, recovery, and nutrient intakeWhy protein isn't the only nutrient that mattersHow to create regular eating opportunities when hunger cues are quietEasy foods to reach for when you don't feel like eatingWhen low appetite or GI side effects deserve a conversation with your healthcare providerEmerging evidence and professional guidance increasingly emphasize maintaining adequate protein, fiber, micronutrients, hydration, and muscle health as intake falls during GLP-1 treatment. 💖 WAYS TO WORK WITH ME If you’re tired of guessing what to eat, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or trying to protect your muscle while losing weight… ✨ Join The GLP-1 Circle — my membership for support, strategy, and community ✨ Apply for 1:1 Coaching for high touch, personalized nutrition and fitness guidance aka the ultimate bestie experience Book a one time consult with me here (Use code PODCAST for a discount) FREE: Labs to Request Annually  Connect with Me: IG: https://www.instagram.com/dietitian.gianna/ Website: https://www.giannabeasley.com/  **Disclaimer: This episode and this podcast are not medical advice, consult with your own pr...
