Dietitian support if you're taking GLP-1 medication
GLP-1 medicines such as semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescription-only. They are licensed for use alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, and they are not a quick fix. If you have already been prescribed one, a dietitian can help with the eating and lifestyle side of your treatment.
I'm an HCPC-registered dietitian offering private, online (virtual) consultations to adults across the UK. I don't prescribe, and I don't advise on starting, stopping or changing the dose of any medicine. Those decisions stay with your prescriber.
Who this may suit
This may suit you if you have been prescribed a GLP-1 medicine by a registered prescriber and want practical help with eating well while your appetite is smaller, managing side effects through food, or protecting your muscle and nutrient intake.
How a dietitian can help
We can look at getting enough protein, fibre, fluid and key nutrients when you are eating less; ideas for nausea, constipation, reflux or feeling full quickly; eating and lifestyle habits that help you keep your strength; and building routines you can maintain over the long term, including around any planned changes to your treatment, which you would agree with your prescriber.
Getting these medicines safely
These medicines should only be obtained on prescription from a registered prescriber and supplied by a registered pharmacy. The MHRA advises against buying them from unregulated sources, and you can check a pharmacy on the General Pharmaceutical Council register. Regular reviews with your prescriber are part of safe use.
When to get medical advice
Please contact your prescriber or GP promptly if you have severe or persistent tummy pain, persistent vomiting, or any symptoms that worry you. Suspected side effects can be reported through the Yellow Card scheme.
