GLP-1 Medication Nutrition Support in Nashville, TN
Medications like Semaglutide, Trizepatide, Wegovy®, Zepbound®, Ozempic®, and Mounjaro® can be powerful tools for weight loss — but they work best when paired with the right nutrition strategy and ongoing support.
Our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists provide personalized, evidence-based nutrition counseling for adults using GLP-1 medications to support weight loss, metabolic health, and long-term success — while minimizing side effects and preserving muscle mass.
Our team includes dietitians who are Board Certified Specialists in Obesity and Weight Management (CSOWM), reflecting advanced expertise in evidence-based weight management interventions.
We offer in-person appointments in Brentwood, just south of Nashville, along with secure telehealth visits for patients throughout Tennessee and select additional states where telehealth nutrition services are permitted.
Is GLP-1 Nutrition Counseling Right for You?
GLP-1 nutrition counseling is designed for adults who want personalized guidance alongside their medication.
We commonly work with individuals who:
Are starting or currently taking a GLP-1 medication
Want help managing side effects such as nausea, low appetite, or fatigue
Are concerned about muscle loss or inadequate nutrient intake
Want guidance on how much — and what — to eat while on medication
Are preparing to taper or transition off a GLP-1 medication
Wherever you are in the process, we meet you there.
A Nutrition-First Approach to GLP-1 Medications
GLP-1 medications change appetite, digestion, and hunger signals — which means your nutrition needs often change too.
Our dietitians focus on helping you:
Eat enough to support energy, metabolism, and muscle preservation
Manage appetite changes without under-fueling
Prioritize protein, hydration, and key nutrients
Build eating patterns that feel flexible and sustainable
Develop skills that support long-term weight management
Medication may help reduce hunger — but nutrition counseling helps ensure your body is properly supported throughout the process.
What to Expect from GLP-1 Nutrition Counseling
GLP-1 nutrition counseling is designed to support you over time, with care that adapts as your medication, body, and goals change.
While every plan is personalized, nutrition counseling often follows a supportive progression like this:
Getting Started: Building a Strong Foundation
In your initial sessions, we take time to understand your medical history, GLP-1 medication use, goals, and current challenges. Together, we create a nutrition strategy that supports your health while fitting into your daily routine.
Early visits often focus on:
Understanding appetite changes and intake needs
Establishing protein, fiber, hydration, and meal structure
Creating a plan that feels manageable and sustainable
Continued Support: Refining and Adjusting
As you move forward, follow-up visits allow us to adjust your plan based on how your body responds and how your medication dose evolves.
This phase often includes:
Managing side effects such as nausea, constipation or low appetite
Adjusting intake to support energy, metabolism, and muscle preservation
Problem-solving around real-life situations like travel, stress, or schedule changes
Ongoing support: adapting for real life
As progress continues, visits are typically spaced out and focused on maintaining consistency over time.
This phase may include:
Navigating plateaus or periods of slower progress
Refreshing meal ideas to prevent boredom
Adjusting nutrition strategies during life transitions
Preparing for long-term maintenance or medication changes
This approach allows nutrition care to evolve with you — supporting progress that feels sustainable over time.
