Episode #154: How Much Protein Do You Really Need on a GLP?


Listen Later

If you're taking a GLP-1 medication like Wegovy, Zepbound, or Ozempic, protein becomes non-negotiable. In this video, Dr. Sarah Stombaugh—Obesity Medicine Physician and weight-loss expert—breaks down exactly how much protein you need, why protein protection matters during weight loss, and how to easily hit your goals even when appetite is low.

You’ll learn:
 ✔ Why GLP-1s increase your protein needs
 ✔ The exact grams YOU should aim for
 ✔ How to prevent muscle loss on a GLP
 ✔ Easy protein-rich foods (even if you have nausea)
 ✔ Common signs you’re not getting enough
 ✔ The best way to structure meals for satiety + metabolic health

This video is perfect for anyone on Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro, or other GLP-1 medications—and for anyone who wants to lose weight safely and keep it off.
