How food shapes sleep (and sleep shapes food)
Sleep and nutrition are a two-way street. What and when we eat can calm your nervous system, steady blood sugar and set our body clock for deeper, more consistent sleep. In turn, good sleep rebalances hunger hormones, tames cravings and improves insulin sensitivity, making healthier choices easier the next day. Read on to join the dots from meal timing, protein and fibre, to caffeine, alcohol and late-night snacking. Small, targeted tweaks can create a virtuous cycle for energy, mood and metabolic health.
What to eat on GLP1s
GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro are transforming weight management by reducing appetite, improving blood sugar control and supporting cardiometabolic health. But medication alone is rarely the full picture.
Many people on GLP-1s unintentionally under-eat protein, fibre and key nutrients, increasing the risk of muscle loss, fatigue, digestive side effects and weight regain once treatment stops. The most successful outcomes come from combining GLP-1 therapy with intentional nutrition, resistance training and sustainable lifestyle habits.
Read how to build a “GLP-1-friendly” way of eating that supports fat loss while protecting lean muscle, energy, gut health and long-term metabolic health, how to structure meals, manage common side effects like nausea and constipation, preserve muscle during weight loss, and transition confidently into maintenance when the time comes to taper off medication.
