Gut Health, Made Doable

A Note From Your Gut Health Team

She Had Eleven Bottles.
She Needed Three.

A patient sat down across from me last week with a shopping bag. Inside: eleven bottles. Magnesium, B12, collagen, zinc, iron, vitamin D, a probiotic, fish oil, turmeric, a greens powder, and something called "adrenal support" that she found on TikTok.

She'd started her GLP-1 medication three months earlier and bought each one after reading a different article or watching a different video. She wasn't taking any of them.

"I keep forgetting which ones go with food and which ones don't," she said. "So most days I just skip all of it."

She's not unusual.

+58%

A study of over 604,000 patients found that every additional pill per day raised the odds of quitting a regimen entirely. Two pills a day instead of one increased non-adherence by 58%.

More products, worse follow-through.

I told her what I tell most of my GLP-1 patients: put ten of those bottles back. Start with three things.

The Three That Matter

A multivitamin that fills the background gaps

When you eat 30 to 40% less food, you get 30 to 40% fewer vitamins and minerals. A joint advisory from four U.S. health agencies now recommends that all GLP-1 patients take a multivitamin, full stop. Not optional.

Protein, split across your meals

Medical consensus puts protein needs at 1.2 to 2.0 grams per kilogram of body weight per day on GLP-1. Most patients get half that. A gut-friendly protein shake at breakfast or lunch closes the gap without fighting your reduced appetite.

Gut support that matches your medication

GLP-1 slows gastric emptying, and that changes your microbiome. A low-FODMAP synbiotic designed for sensitive stomachs keeps digestion running while your body adjusts to a new way of eating.

🌿 Three products. One with breakfast, one midday, one in the evening.

That patient texted my office two weeks later. She'd put back everything except the three. She hadn't missed a day.

"Turns out I can handle a routine. I just couldn't handle a pharmacy."

If your supplement drawer looks like a small vitamin aisle, you don't need more research. You need fewer bottles and a realistic plan for this weekend.
