Nutrition Support for Women During and After Weight-Loss Medication

Book a Complimentary Zoom consultation

If the medication helped, but something still feels unfinished…

I work with many women who reach a point where the scale has changed, but confidence hasn’t fully caught up.

You might be here because:

  1. You didn’t lose as much as expected, or progress stalled

  2. You reached your goal and feel anxious about maintaining it

  3. You want to reduce or stop without triggering regain

  4. Side effects like fatigue or GI issues made the medication hard to live with

  5. You’re staying on the medication but want to be sure you’re eating well, not just eating less

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you’re not doing anything wrong.

Where medication ends, my work begins

Weight-loss medications can be helpful tools. But they don’t teach you how to eat, how to trust hunger, or how to feel steady when things change.

My role is to work alongside your medical care and help you:

  • Feel confident around food again

  • Understand appetite changes without fear

  • Eat enough to protect energy, strength, and health

  • Navigate plateaus, transitions, or maintenance

  • Live your life, including travel, dining out, and social events, without guessing

I don’t prescribe medication or manage dosing. I focus on making sure you’re not relying on appetite suppression alone to feel in control.

What nutrition support looks like during and after medication

Insurance-based nutrition care is designed for brief education, not ongoing transition. Most women I work with need support in real time, as their appetite, routines, and lifestyle shift.

My approach is:

  • Highly personalized

  • Ongoing and responsive

  • Designed for women who travel, dine out, entertain, and have full lives

  • Focused on confidence, not compliance

This work is about knowing what to do when real life happens.

What support looks like

I work with clients through ongoing, personalized nutrition coaching during and after weight-loss medication use.

Support typically includes:

  • A flexible eating strategy as appetite changes

  • Guidance to prevent under-fueling and nutrient gaps

  • A strong focus on protein and muscle preservation

  • Help navigating plateaus, maintenance, or transitions

  • Real-time support via text between sessions

There’s no fixed timeline. Most women choose support while things are changing, not after they’ve already changed.

Is this the right fit?

This is a good fit if you:

  • Want a long-term plan, not quick fixes

  • Are thinking beyond the medication

  • Value guidance and judgment over rigid rules

  • Want support that fits into a full, active life

This is not a fit if you:

  • Are looking for a prescription or medication management

  • Want rapid weight loss at any cost

  • Are looking for a one-time meal plan

Why work with me?

I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 20 years of experience helping women build a healthy relationship with food, through weight loss, life transitions, and everything in between.

I don’t believe in extremes, rigid plans, or outsourcing your intuition.

I believe in coaching, accountability, and meeting you where you are.

This work is personal. That’s why I work one-on-one and stay closely involved with my clients.

Additional Highlights:

  • Thousands of successful outcomes

  • 5-star Google rated

  • Author of several best-selling nutrition books

  • My nutrition advice is consistently featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and other major national media outlets

  • High-touch, concierge-level support
