Semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®, Zepbound®) are powerful tools for weight loss. As a functional medicine compounding pharmacist, I've seen them deliver life-changing results.
Weight Loss Companion Pack
A Pharmacist-Designed Support System for GLP-1 Therapy
It's crucial to understand that these medications are not "nutrient-neutral." They can alter how your body digests food, absorbs nutrients, and maintains muscle. This often leads to common side effects like bloating, fatigue, and even plateaus in weight loss. That's why I created the Weight Loss Companion Pack, a complete system designed to help you optimize your GLP-1 results and minimize unwanted side effects.
What GLP-1s Actually Do to Your Body
Medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide work by slowing down your digestive system, reducing your appetite, and improving insulin sensitivity. While incredibly effective, this slowed digestion can also reduce stomach acid and alter how your body absorbs vital nutrients. When on a calorie-restricted diet, this means your body has to work much harder to maintain muscle and extract the vitamins and minerals it needs to function properly.
Digestive Enzymes: The Key to Nutrient Absorption
The slowed digestion caused by GLP-1s can lead to bloating, gas, and poor nutrient uptake. If your body isn't breaking down proteins and fats efficiently, you're not properly feeding your muscles or supporting your metabolism. Our Professional Grade Digestive Enzymes are formulated to support full-spectrum digestion, helping you manage bloating and enhance nutrient absorption so your body can thrive.
Magnesium: A Vital Mineral for Muscle and Metabolism
Magnesium is a critical mineral for muscle function, insulin sensitivity, and maintaining healthy bowel regularity—all of which can be disrupted while on GLP-1 therapy. A magnesium deficiency can result in cramps, fatigue, and slow weight loss progress. Our Professional Grade Magnesium Glycinate is a highly absorbable form of magnesium that is gentle on your stomach, calms nerves and muscles, and supports healthy glucose metabolism.
Clean Protein: Protecting Your Lean Muscle Mass
As you lose weight, it's essential to preserve muscle mass. However, a reduced appetite can make it challenging to consume enough protein. Low protein intake can lead to muscle loss, a slower metabolism, and eventually, weight regain. The Professional Grade Lean Body Protein (available in plant or whey) is easily digestible and perfect for shakes or small meals, helping you maintain lean mass while on a low-calorie plan.
Feel Better, Stay Stronger, and Reach Your Goals
The Weight Loss Companion Pack includes our Professional Grade Digestive Enzymes, Magnesium Glycinate, and Lean Body Protein. We also offer optional add-ons like a B-complex for energy and electrolyte packets for hydration. This pack was designed to support your biology so you can focus on your long-term success.
