Starting a GLP-1 like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound is exciting, but it can also bring a bundle of nerves. That's especially true if you're worried about the common side effects like nausea, GI distress, fatigue, and constipation. While there isn't a one-size-fits-all way to avoid side effects, since each person's experience is unique, you can take steps before you start to maximize the benefits while minimizing the side effects. Here are my favorite products.
You're not alone in wondering how to reduce nausea on GLP-1s like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound. It's one of the most well-documented side effects and can even lead to some people quitting when they can't find nausea relief. I've been using Zepbound for more than six months and have lost a lot of weight in that timeframe. I've also endured the nausea, fatigue, and other gnarly side effects. Hopefully, I can help you learn from my mistakes.
Hydration for a GLP-1 diet is one of the most overlooked but critical parts of making the meds work with your body, not against it. And spoiler: it’s not just about drinking more water. Electrolytes matter. Timing matters. Plus, it could be the very issue causing some of the side effects you're blaming on the medication.
