A practical everyday guide
Changes to appetite and eating routines can make it useful to pay closer attention to the foods and fluids you choose each day. Explore balanced considerations for hydration, protein-rich foods, fibre-containing foods and micronutrition while following advice from your prescriber.
Important: Food supplements are not medicines and cannot replace a varied, balanced diet or professional medical advice. If you use GLP-1 medication or another prescription treatment, ask your prescriber or pharmacist before changing your diet or taking a food supplement.
Start with the essentials
Build everyday routines around the basics
Individual needs differ. Start with the plan provided by your healthcare professional and use product labels and serving directions carefully.
Hydration
Keep fluids available through the day and follow individual advice. Check ingredients, serving size, sodium content and directions before using an electrolyte product.
Protein-rich foods
Include suitable protein-rich foods within a varied diet. A dietitian or prescriber can help if you are uncertain about an appropriate intake.
Fibre-containing foods
Fruit, vegetables, pulses and wholegrains can contribute fibre. Introduce dietary changes gradually where appropriate.
Micronutrition
A varied, balanced diet remains the starting point. Compare labels, follow the daily serving and discuss suitability when you take medication.

Can I take food supplements while using GLP-1 medication?
Suitability depends on the product, your medication, your health and the advice provided by your prescriber. Read the label and ask your prescriber or pharmacist before taking a food supplement. Lifelong Health cannot assess individual medical suitability.
Are Lifelong Health products made for GLP-1 users?
The products in this guide are ordinary food supplements grouped by everyday nutritional purpose. They are not presented as medicines, replacements for treatment or products proven compatible with GLP-1 medication.
Do supplements prevent nutrient deficiencies while using GLP-1 medication?
Food supplements should not be relied upon to prevent a medical deficiency. Speak to a healthcare professional if you are concerned about your food intake, nutrient status or symptoms.
Can an electrolyte product treat dehydration or medication side effects?
No. A food supplement must not be used or promoted as a treatment for dehydration or medication side effects. Follow your treatment advice and seek medical guidance about persistent symptoms.
Where can I get personalised advice?
Contact the clinician who prescribed your medication, your pharmacist or a registered dietitian. Seek urgent medical help when advised by your treatment provider or NHS guidance.
