Episode 39: Ian Marber: GLP-1 Nutrition Explained | How to Eat Well on Ozempic, Wegovy & Mounjaro
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro are changing the weight loss conversation, but many people still have questions about how to eat well while taking them, protect muscle mass, support gut health, and maintain results long term.
In this episode, I’m joined by Ian Marber to unpack what these medications actually do, the nutritional mistakes people often make, and how to support your body properly while appetite is reduced.
We discuss rapid weight loss, muscle loss, metabolic changes, protein intake, fibre, digestion, nutrient deficiencies, and what happens when you stop taking GLP-1 medication.
We also explore the emotional side of GLP-1 use, including stigma, secrecy, NHS access, private prescribing, and whether weight regain can be prevented.
In this episode, we cover:
• How GLP-1 medications affect appetite, metabolism and weight loss
• Protein intake and muscle preservation on Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro
• Fibre, gut health and digestion when gastric emptying slows
• Common nutrient deficiencies to watch for
• Long-term safety and whether GLP-1 use should be lifelong
• What happens when you stop taking weight loss medication
• Why stigma still exists around GLP-1 use
• NHS eligibility and private access in the UK
If you want a practical, evidence-based conversation on GLP-1 nutrition, this episode is packed with useful insight.
