In the last year, medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have taken the wellness world by storm. Originally designed to treat diabetes, these GLP-1 drugs are now being widely prescribed for weight loss and metabolic support—with impressive results.
But here’s the thing: while the scale may be going down, your gut health might be struggling. Many people using these medications experience side effects that impact digestion, elimination, and overall well-being.
At Auburn Total Health, we see it every week—clients on GLP-1s who are doing their best, but still feel bloated, backed up, or exhausted. That’s where we come in.
Let’s break it down:
What Are GLP-1 Drugs, Really?
GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, slow gastric emptying, and increase feelings of fullness. These medications mimic that hormone, which is why they’re so effective for weight management.
But that slowed digestion? It can cause some not-so-pleasant side effects—especially when it comes to your gut.
Common Gut Side Effects People Experience on GLP-1 Meds:
-
Constipation
-
Bloating or gas
-
Nausea or sluggish digestion
-
Irregular bowel movements
-
Fatigue or “toxic” feeling from slow elimination
Most doctors may mention these briefly, but rarely offer real solutions. That’s where integrative wellness can make a real difference.
Why Gut Health Matters More Than Ever on GLP-1s
When digestion slows down, toxins and waste stay in your system longer, potentially contributing to fatigue, breakouts, headaches, and even poor nutrient absorption. If you're trying to support your body and get the best results from your GLP-1 prescription, your gut needs attention too.

💬 What Our Clients Are Saying:
“I’ve been on Wegovy for a few months and was feeling awful—bloated, constipated, low energy. A friend recommended Auburn Total Health and I’m so glad I went. The colonics and sauna made a huge difference after just one visit. Now I feel like my body is working with the medication—not fighting it.”
