What to Eat (and Avoid) on GLP-1 Medications: Your Gut Will Thank You
So you’ve joined the GLP-1 club – welcome. Whether it’s Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or another tongue-twister medication, you probably signed up for more than a few promises (and maybe a few surprises). One of those surprises? Your stomach might not be thrilled about it. Good news: what you eat can make a huge difference. Here’s a guide to help keep you (and your gut) on speaking terms. What to Eat Small, protein-packed meals: eggs, yogurt, nuts, lean meats Bland is your buddy: crackers, rice, bananas, applesauce Hydrate wisely: sip water slowly throughout the day Low-fat options: lighter foods move along more peacefully What to Avoid Heavy, greasy, fried foods Sugary treats Big portions Alcohol Everyone reacts differently. If something makes you feel awful, it’s not worth it. Keep a food diary and note how you feel after meals – patterns will appear. Studies suggest smaller, frequent meals can reduce nausea on GLP-1 meds. Check out NIH guidance here. Even with the perfect menu, side effects can still pop up. That’s where SymptoGuard comes in. It’s specially formulated to support GLP-1 users who want to feel more like themselves again. Ready to feel better on your GLP-1? Try SymptoGuard® Now

5 Natural Ways to Ease GLP-1 Side Effects
If you're taking a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic or Wegovy, you're likely doing it to improve your health — whether that means managing weight, blood sugar, or both. But for many people, the early weeks come with unwanted side effects: nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and general digestive discomfort. SymptoGuard was formulated to help reduce these side effects and support your body during treatment. And when paired with simple, natural strategies, it can help you feel more comfortable and stay consistent with your GLP-1 plan. Here are five approaches you can try alongside taking SymptoGuard. 1. Prioritize Hydration GLP-1 medications can cause dehydration, which may make symptoms like nausea and dizziness more intense. Drinking enough water — even before you feel thirsty — can make a noticeable difference. Many people benefit from aiming for 8–10 glasses a day. If you’re feeling especially depleted, an electrolyte drink can also help rebalance your system. 2. Shift to Smaller, More Frequent Meals Instead of three larger meals a day, try eating smaller portions every few hours. This can reduce strain on your digestive system and minimize the risk of nausea. Gentle, easy-to-digest foods like broth-based soups, plain rice, applesauce, or whole grain toast tend to be better tolerated during this adjustment phase. 3. Use Ginger as a Natural Digestive Aid Ginger has long been used to help with nausea and motion sickness — and it may help ease GLP-1-related discomfort as well. Consider sipping ginger tea, using a ginger chew, or adding a slice of fresh ginger to warm water with lemon. 4. Rest, But Don’t Stay Still All Day Fatigue is common, especially in the first few weeks of treatment. Getting enough rest is important, but even light movement — like a short walk or some gentle stretching — can improve energy, digestion, and mood. Listen to your body, and aim for balance. 5. Practice Simple Stress Reduction Stress can amplify nausea and dizziness, so it’s worth taking a few minutes each day to relax your nervous system. Try slow, deep breathing, a calming app, or even quiet time without screens or stimulation. These practices may seem small, but they can have a measurable effect on how you feel. Why SymptoGuard Works Best Alongside These Strategies SymptoGuard is designed to address the most common GLP-1 side effects — especially nausea, fatigue, and dizziness — with a clinically supported blend of ingredients. While lifestyle strategies can help reduce symptoms, combining them with SymptoGuard creates a more complete, proactive approach to support your body during treatment. If you’re ready to feel more in control of your GLP-1 journey, try SymptoGuard today.
