GLP-1 Support

Nutrition support alongside GLP-1 medication in Virginia

If you're taking a GLP-1 medication such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, a registered dietitian helps you eat well with a smaller appetite, protect muscle, and build habits that last. Meet by video call from anywhere in Virginia, or in person in the Roanoke Valley and the greater Richmond area.

Medication changes your appetite. Nutrition still matters.

GLP-1 medications can make you feel full sooner and think about food less. That can be a welcome change, but it also means every meal counts. When you're eating less, it's easier to fall short on protein, fiber, fluids and key nutrients, and harder to know what a balanced day looks like.

What we work on together

  • Getting enough protein at each meal to help protect muscle while you lose weight
  • Smaller, balanced meals and snacks for days when your appetite is low
  • Fluids and fiber, and food choices that may ease common side effects such as nausea or constipation
  • Eating well when food feels unappealing or certain foods don't sit well
  • Adjusting your plan as your dose changes and your appetite shifts

Protecting muscle and strength

When weight comes off quickly, some of it can be muscle. Enough protein spread through the day, paired with regular strength-building activity, helps you hold on to the muscle that keeps you strong. We'll help you find protein foods you enjoy and fit them into smaller meals.

Habits that last beyond the medication

Some people take a GLP-1 medication for a long time; others reduce or stop it. Either way, the habits you build now matter. We help you recognize hunger and fullness, eat regular balanced meals and plan for real-life situations, so you have a foundation that supports your health whatever your treatment plan looks like.

Working with your prescriber

Your physician prescribes and manages the medication. As registered dietitians, we don't prescribe or change medication. With your permission, we coordinate with your prescriber so your nutrition plan supports your treatment, and we'll let them know if something you're experiencing needs their attention.

Common Questions

Common questions

Do I need to be taking a GLP-1 medication to work with you?

No. We also offer weight loss counseling without medication. This service is for people who are taking, starting or coming off a GLP-1 medication.

Can you prescribe a GLP-1 medication?

No. Registered dietitians don't prescribe medication. If you're interested in a GLP-1, talk with your physician. We can support your nutrition before, during and after treatment.

What if I stop taking my medication?

The eating habits you build now support your health either way. If your treatment changes, we'll adjust your plan with you.

Do I need a referral, and do you take insurance?

No referral is needed to book. We're private pay and are not in-network with any plan. HSA and FSA funds are generally eligible for a diagnosed condition with a letter of medical necessity from your doctor.

Can I do this virtually?

Yes. We see clients by video call anywhere in Virginia, and in person in the Roanoke Valley and the greater Richmond area. We currently see clients located in Virginia.
