Managing GLP-1 Side Effects Through Smart Eating with Amy Davis

In this episode of Everything GLP-1, Dr. Tom Lavin speaks with Amy Davis, a registered dietitian with ten years of experience helping patients optimize their nutrition and health, to explore how food choices shape outcomes for people on GLP-1 medications. Nutrition is often treated as an afterthought once a prescription is written, but the conversation makes clear that what patients eat directly influences muscle preservation, side effect management, and long-term success.

Amy explains her three non-negotiables, protein, non-starchy vegetables, and fiber, and why each becomes more critical as calorie intake drops. Together, they discuss practical strategies for hitting protein goals, managing constipation and other GI symptoms tied to slowed digestion, and recognizing ultra-processed foods without falling into all-or-nothing thinking.

It is a practical, evidence-grounded discussion for clinicians, patients, and anyone seeking sustainable, real-world nutrition strategies to complement GLP-1 therapy.
