GLP-1 & Gut Health

The quiet side effect
of every GLP-1.

The scale is moving. But your gut is not. Here is what is actually happening, and what gently helps.

"The scale is moving - but I'm not. Is something wrong with me?"

A question we hear in clinic every day

Nothing is wrong with you. It is the medication doing what it is designed to do.

GLP-1s slow down gastric emptying so you feel full longer. The catch: they also slow the rest of your digestive tract. Food lingers, the colon pulls more water out of stool, and what arrives is dry, hard, and reluctant to move.

Constipation is the most common GI side effect of GLP-1 therapy - and the one people are least likely to mention. So let us talk about what nobody talks about.

Relief Plan

A gentler plan - four steps, no stimulants

Hydrate with intention

Aim for half your body weight in ounces, and add electrolytes. Water alone will not soften stool if sodium and potassium are low.

Walk after meals

Ten minutes is enough to nudge motility when the medication is slowing it down.

Add soluble fiber slowly, with warm fluids

Cold water plus a big fiber dose on a slowed gut creates the bloating you are trying to avoid.

Choose gentle, non-stimulant herbal support

Stimulant laxatives (senna at high doses, bisacodyl) work - but they cramp, and the bowel can grow dependent on them. There is a better way.
