GLP-1 Dietitian UK | Mounjaro®, Wegovy® & Weight Loss Medication Nutrition Support
Expert Dietitian Support for Mounjaro®, Wegovy® and Other GLP-1 Medications
At Nutrition & Co, we provide specialist dietitian-led support for individuals using GLP-1 medications such as Mounjaro® (tirzepatide), Wegovy® (semaglutide), Ozempic® and Saxenda®.
While these medications can be highly effective tools for weight loss, many individuals struggle with side effects, inadequate protein intake, muscle loss, fatigue, nutritional deficiencies, digestive symptoms and weight regain after stopping treatment.
Our HCPC-registered Dietitians work alongside your prescribing clinician to ensure you lose weight safely, preserve muscle mass, maintain nutritional adequacy and develop sustainable habits for long-term success.
What Are GLP-1 Medications?
GLP-1 receptor agonists are medications that help regulate appetite, reduce food intake and support weight loss.
Examples include:
-
Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide)
-
Wegovy® (Semaglutide)
-
Ozempic® (Semaglutide)
-
Saxenda® (Liraglutide)
These medications can be highly effective, but they are not a substitute for nutrition, lifestyle and behaviour change support.
Without appropriate dietary guidance, individuals may experience:
-
Excessive muscle loss
-
Low energy levels
-
Nutritional deficiencies
-
Constipation
-
Nausea
-
Poor exercise performance
-
Weight regain following treatment
Why Work With a Dietitian While Taking Mounjaro® or Wegovy®?

Whilst this can assist weight loss, it can also make it difficult to consume sufficient:
-

-
Fibre
-
Vitamins and minerals
-
Fluids
-
Overall calories required to maintain health

FAQ
Can I Lose Weight Without Losing Muscle on Mounjaro®?
Yes. Whilst some muscle loss is expected during weight loss, adequate protein intake, resistance training and appropriate calorie targets can help minimise losses.
Do I Need a Dietitian If I Am Already Losing Weight?
Many people lose weight successfully on GLP-1 medications but may not be consuming sufficient protein, fibre or essential nutrients. Dietitian support helps ensure weight loss occurs safely and sustainably.
Can A Dietitian Help With Side Effects?
Yes. Nutritional strategies can often help improve nausea, constipation, bloating and reduced appetite associated with GLP-1 medications.
Will I Regain Weight After Stopping Mounjaro®?
