GLP-1 Dietitian Perth | Nutrition Support During & After GLP-1 Treatment

     Beyond the scale
                  

Because eating less doesn’t mean your body needs less.

​

​GLP-1 medications (Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®) can change how you eat.

 

Appetite drops.
You feel full quickly.
Sometimes, food just doesn’t appeal.

That can help with weight loss.

​

But it also creates a new challenge:

how to nourish your body when eating feels harder

​

​

​

​

What matters is not just weight loss — but how you lose it

When intake drops, it’s easy to under-eat:

​

  • protein

  • key nutrients

  • overall energy

​

Over time, that can affect:

​

  • muscle mass

  • energy levels

  • long-term health

​

The aim isn’t a smaller you; it’s a healthier you.

The missing piece in GLP-1 care

"My role is not to prescribe or promote GLP-1 medications. It is to support the nutrition side of care — which is often the missing piece.  Medication decisions should always be discussed with your prescribing healthcare professional"

What we focus on together

There is no standard GLP-1 diet. We first understand what you are eating, what you can tolerate, and what your body and life currently have capacity for.

​​

  • Meeting protein needs with a reduced appetite

  • Preventing nutrient gaps

  • Managing nausea, constipation and low intake

  • Supporting energy and day-to-day function

  • Protecting muscle and long-term metabolic health.

  • Navigating the transition off GLP-1 medication with more structure and less fear

Food Knolling

Food needs to feel manageable again.

 

That means focusing on options that are:

 

  • practical

  • easy to tolerate

  • nutritionally useful

  • realistic to come back to day after day

        Not sure if you’re eating enough on GLP-1?

 

When appetite drops, it isn’t always obvious whether you’re simply eating less — or whether protein, fluids, food variety and day-to-day energy are beginning to slip. Download Dr Shy’s free GLP-1 Nutrition Check.

When this kind of support matters

This may be helpful if:

​

  • you’ve recently started GLP-1

  • you’re reducing the dose or coming off GLP-1 medication

  • you’re struggling to eat enough

  • food feels unappealing or inconsistent

  • you’re experiencing nausea, reflux or constipation

  • you’re concerned about muscle loss or fatigue

  • you feel unsure how much to eat now that the medication is changing or stopping

  • you’re worried about appetite returning or weight regain after stopping

  • you want a more sustainable, supported approach

Coming off GLP-1 medication? Support does not end when the prescription changes. I also help patients who are reducing or stopping GLP-1 medication navigate appetite changes, meal structure, protein needs, bowel comfort, and the shift into maintenance with more clarity and less fear.

 Ready to feel more confident with food during or after GLP-1 treatment?

Life is complicated. Food doesn’t have to be.

Kind Words

Louise (GLP-1 client), Perth

​

 "I am very happy to have met Dr Shy. She is such a lovely person. She welcomed me and took the time to explain what she would do to support me in my journey. It was not overwhelming at all, I understood everything. When I looked confused, she changed the way she spoke to make sure I understood. Lovely experience, and we are tuning up my plan even more every time I see her. I become more confident that I can do this for life, that it’s not a fad diet. That it is just a simple lifestyle change that isn’t as scary as I thought it would be.

​

I’ve been on GLP-1 treatment for weight loss since August 2025 and have seen amazing results, but without a good nutritional lifestyle change and weight‑bearing exercises, muscles become weaker and your body lacks the energy to enjoy life again.

 

Dr Shy explained to me what nutrients I’ve been lacking in my diet to support muscle and support the body. I’ve always lacked direction when it came to my diet. I’ve always struggled to get the nutrients that I needed, even before starting my journey, and I wish I had met her a long time ago.

 

I am very thankful and excited to gain more knowledge from our further appointments. Thank you, Dr Shy, you are changing my life for the better."
