What I Wish I Knew Before Starting a GLP-1 (As a Dietitian and Certified Personal Trainer)

If I could go back and start my GLP-1 journey all over again, there are a lot of things I would do differently.

Not because I regret taking a GLP-1—but because there were lessons I had to learn through experience that I wish someone had told me from the very beginning.

In this episode, Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer, and GLP-1 user Gianna Beasley shares the biggest things she wishes she knew before starting Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and GLP-1 medications, including the nutrition, mindset, and lifestyle lessons that made the biggest difference.

We’re covering:

• The mistakes I made early in my GLP-1 journey
• Why protein matters more than most people realize
• The importance of hydration and side effect management
• Why I wish I focused less on the scale and more on strength
• The mental health and mindset work I wish I had done sooner
• Why comparison is one of the fastest ways to sabotage your progress
• What actually matters for long-term success on a GLP-1
• The advice I would give myself if I were starting over today

Whether you’re considering a GLP-1, just getting started, or have been taking one for a while, this episode will help you avoid common pitfalls and focus on what truly supports your health and success.
