Taking a GLP-1 and thinking about pregnancy? Thereโs a few things I want you to think about beyond when to stop your medication. ๐
When your appetite is lower, you might not realize just how much less youโre eating. Smaller portions, skipping meals or getting full after a few bites can make it harder to get enough protein, fibre and essential vitamins and minerals to support fertility.
And then what happens when you come off your medication? Your appetite, hunger cues and blood sugar management can change, too.
If pregnancy is on your radar, Iโd really encourage you not to leave nutrition until youโre actively trying to conceive.
This is a good time to check in with yourself:
โจ๐ Are you eating enough throughout the day?โจ๐ Are you meeting your needs for nutrients like iron, folic acid/folate, B12 and choline?โจ๐ Do you have a plan for managing changes in appetite and blood sugar when you stop your medication?
Having some support through this transition can make a huge difference.
