Are You Getting Enough Nutrients on GLP-1 Meds? Here's What to Watch

Let’s say the quiet part out loud: hair loss, fatigue, bruising easily, dizziness, gastrointestinal and gallbladder problems, or the much talked about “Ozempic face.” Nobody thinks the side effects of a medication are going to happen to them. That’s just the fast-talking part at the end of the commercial, right? But for more and more people taking GLP-1 drugs, that’s exactly what’s happening—and in many cases, they could be prevented

GLP-1 drugs curb appetite—but what they also curb is your stomach acid. And that might be messing with your nutrient absorption. Altered or impaired nutrient absorption can lead to side effects like hair loss, fatigue, dizziness, and headaches, which are often related to nutrient insufficiencies and/or deficiencies.

When you support how your medication works by implementing a few simple nutrition hacks, the results can be surprising! Who wants to choose between losing weight and having hair?

In the last week or so, there has been a surge of interest in Berberine, with some dubbing it "Nature's Ozempic." This botanical compound has gained significant attention as a potential supplement for weight loss, with countless TikTok and Instagram reels being made daily. In one video I came across a Kardashian-esque weight loss coach and podcaster incorrectly referred to it as a “new supplement.” With all the buzz, it is important to clarify that Berberine is not a new discovery but rather a compound with a long history of use in traditional folk medicine and integrative nutrition. In this post, we will take a closer look at Berberine and explore its origins, how it works, potential benefits, and what you need to know before you try it.
