Are you on Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro? These GLP-1 medications can be powerful tools for weight loss: but without the right support, you might lose muscle instead of fat, feel drained, or struggle with frustrating side effects.
At The Fatigue Clinic in Collierville, we help patients across Memphis, Germantown, Arlington, and the surrounding areas maximize their GLP-1 results while protecting their health long-term.
Here are 5 essentials every GLP-1 patient needs to know.
This is non-negotiable.
Research shows that up to 25% of weight lost on GLP-1 medications can come from muscle: not fat. That's a problem. Muscle drives your metabolism, and losing it makes weight regain almost inevitable.
Your target: Aim for 25–35 grams of protein per meal. That's roughly:
Spread your protein across 4–6 smaller meals throughout the day. Since GLP-1s slow digestion, smaller meals prevent nausea and keep your energy steady.
GLP-1 medications work by slowing your digestive system. That's how they reduce appetite: but it can also cause bloating, constipation, and discomfort.
The fix:

Many patients experience fatigue, brain fog, and low energy: often because they're not getting enough:
Pro tip: Since you're eating fewer calories, every bite matters. Focus on nutrient-dense foods: protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Skip the refined carbs, sugary snacks, and alcohol.
Here's what most doctors don't tell you: GLP-1 medications aren't meant to be forever.
At some point, you'll need a plan to maintain your results without the medication. That's where functional medicine comes in.
We help you address the root causes of weight gain: things like:
Without addressing these underlying issues, weight regain is almost guaranteed. Functional medicine gives you the tools to maintain your results for life: not just while you're on the medication.
