The need for increased hydration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GLP-1 meds can increase your susceptibility to dehydration\u2014to a potentially dangerous degree\u2014for a few different reasons. <\/span>Here, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dietitians who specialize in treating patients on GLP-1s explain why these medications can leave you low on fluids, and how to stay hydrated and healthy throughout your journey with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>ABOUT OUR EXPERTS<\/strong>: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jamie Mills, R.D.N., C.D.N., is a registered dietitian and creator of<a href=\"http:\/\/thesleeveddietitian.com\/\"> The Sleeved Dietitian<\/a>. Bonnie Newlin, M.P.A., M.S., R.D., C.D.N., C.L.T., is a registered dietitian and creator of<a href=\"http:\/\/cravenourishment.com\/\"> Crave Nourishment<\/a>.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Why a GLP-1 May Increase Your Fluid Needs<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve done your homework on GLP-1 drugs, you probably know these meds supply a synthetic form of a particular hormone to mimic the body\u2019s natural fullness cues. But quieting your hunger signals isn\u2019t all they do. \u201cGLP-1 medications work by targeting areas of the brain that regulate both appetite and satiety,&#8221; says registered dietitian Jamie Mills, R.D.N., C.D.N., creator of The Sleeved Dietitian. &#8220;In doing so, they can also unintentionally mute thirst signals.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This stunting of your thirst sensitivity can make you forget to drink. \u201cI hear it all the time, my clients will tell me, \u2018I had two bites of food all day and realized I hadn\u2019t had any water,\u2019\u201d Mills says. In fact, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/32623637\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2020 study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that people on GLP-1 drugs had significantly reduced water intake\u2014so much so that researchers speculated the drugs could be used to treat people with excessive thirst.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, some of GLP-1&#8217;s common side effects can deplete your fluid reserves. Gastrointestinal issues like nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting are by far the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/glp-1-diabetes-and-weight-loss-drug-side-effects-ozempic-face-and-more\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most common side effects associated with these drugs<\/span><\/a>\u2014<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and they certainly don\u2019t help in the hydration department.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cutting back on carbs\u2014as many people do when pursuing weight loss\u2014could further exacerbate the issue. \u201cIf someone reduces carbs, they naturally lose more water and sodium, which adds to the dehydration risk,\u201d says Mills. (The body responds to an absence of carbs by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/synergies.oregonstate.edu\/2020\/the-low-carb-conundrum-what-does-research-say\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pulling fluid stores<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> out of the liver and skeletal muscles.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, if exercise is a part of your weight-loss journey, you might lose extra fluids through sweat\u2014especially if you work out in warm weather, she adds.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Signs of Dehydration to Watch for<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spotting GLP-1-related dehydration may be harder than you expect. \u201cGLP-1 medications can blunt your thirst cues, so you might not realize you&#8217;re becoming dehydrated until symptoms start to build,\u201d says registered dietitian Bonnie Newlin, M.P.A., M.S., R.D., C.D.N., C.L.T., creator of Crave Nourishment. In other words, simply waiting for feelings of thirst might not be enough. \u201cSigns of dehydration can show up as dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, headaches, dark yellow urine, constipation, and muscle cramps, particularly in the legs,\u201d she says. Experiencing these alone or in combination likely means it\u2019s time to grab your water bottle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/signs-your-electrolytes-are-off\/\">Signs Your Electrolytes Are Off-Kilter\u2014And What to Do About It<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increasing dehydration can also upset the natural order of your electrolytes. \u201cElectrolyte imbalance leads to symptoms like muscle weakness, heart palpitations, numbness or tingling in the hands or feet, brain fog, confusion, irritability, nausea, low appetite, or cramping that isn\u2019t tied to physical activity,\u201d Newlin says. These more serious symptoms warrant a consultation with your healthcare provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How To Get Your Fluid Fix While on GLP-1s<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re taking a GLP-1, extra vigilance around hydration may be necessary. \u201cThese medications help you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not think about food (and inherently reduce your thirst signals), so you\u2019ve got to outsmart that,\u201d Mills says. She and Newlin agree that at least eight cups of fluids per day is a good target\u2014though you\u2019ll need more if you\u2019re physically active or experiencing side effects<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, plain old water isn&#8217;t the only way to up your fluid intake! <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbs-natural-remedies\/herbal-teas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Herbal teas<\/a>, bone broth, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/performance-supplements\/hydration-endurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">electrolyte drinks<\/a>, and water-rich foods like cucumber, zucchini, and berries can all help increase hydration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To reach your daily goal, try these strategies:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Keep a large water bottle within reach throughout the day.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If water is out of sight, it\u2019ll be out of mind. Having a bottle close at hand is a good visual reminder.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Invest in a bottle that suits your personal style<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When you like the look and feel of your water container, you may be more likely to tote it around with you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Try room-temperature liquids<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. According to Mills, cold water can trigger nausea for some people taking GLP-1s, while room-temperature fluids may go down more easily.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Set hourly hydration reminders on your phone or other device<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Since you may not be able to count on thirst cues, use technology to hold yourself accountable.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>When To Consider a Hydration Supplement<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In the case of GLP-1s, even<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the best of hydration intentions may not be enough to keep you properly stocked on fluids.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s where an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/performance-supplements\/hydration-endurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">electrolyte supplement<\/a> comes in. Though you might associate electrolyte replacements with intense exercise, Mills says they\u2019re a handy fix for all kinds of fluid deficits. \u201cElectrolyte support isn\u2019t just for marathon runners; it\u2019s for anyone whose intake is lower than usual, which happens a lot on GLP-1s,&#8221; she shares.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/common-hydration-mistakes\/\">Are You Making These Common Hydration Mistakes?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you know you\u2019re not meeting your fluid goals or are experiencing symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, or muscle cramps, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/performance-supplements\/hydration-endurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hydration supplement<\/a> is probably in order, suggests Newlin. \u201cLook for options that contain sodium, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/minerals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">potassium<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/minerals\/magnesium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">magnesium<\/a>, especially when in an active weight-loss phase or experiencing side effects,\u201d she recommends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Which of the plethora of hydration supplements out there is right for you? The one you&#8217;ll use\u2014and enjoy! <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mills advises considering factors like sweetness, flavor, and gentleness on your stomach. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to overdo it, but having an electrolyte supplement on hand a few times a week can make a huge difference in how your body feels and functions.\u201d If you need a little help selecting the ideal hydration support for your needs, check in with the healthcare provider managing your prescription or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/lp\/nutritionists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dietitian well-versed in GLP-1s<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Other Supplements to Consider When Taking a GLP-1<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Alongside your hydration supplement, it&#8217;s wise to consider taking a daily multi like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/b\/whole-health-rx?shipping=on\">Whole Health Rx GLP-1 Support Multivitamins<\/a>.
