Weight Loss Medications

Weight loss medications can be powerful tools, but nutrition remains essential to long-term success. Here at Balance Nutrition, we support clients using medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) by helping them build nourishing habits that support their goals, both during and after medication use.

Nutrition That Complements, Not Replaces

Medications aren’t a shortcut, they’re a support tool.

A dietitian can help you:

• Build realistic, sustainable eating habits

• Understand hunger and fullness while on medication

• Feel confident in your food choices, not reliant on rules

Shanna offers evidence-based guidance tailored to your medication and your lifestyle, without judgment.

Managing Side Effects & Feeling Well

Some side effects are common, but they can be managed.

A dietitian can help you:

• Reduce nausea, constipation, and low appetite

• Adjust meal timing, fluid intake, and food textures

• Stay nourished even when eating less

Here at Balance Nutrition, our Dietitian Shanna provides personalised strategies to help you feel your best while staying on track.

Protecting Muscle & Metabolism

Rapid weight loss can lead to muscle loss, but nutrition makes a difference.

A dietitian can help you:

• Prioritise protein and strength-supporting nutrients

• Maintain energy and lean muscle during weight changes

• Transition off medication without regaining lost weight

Shanna can help you build lasting habits that support metabolic health for today and beyond.
