Heat Waves and Health Goals, Navigating Summer on GLP-1
Compounded GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP Injections help regulate appetite, blood sugar, and satiety.
They’re powerful tools for weight management, but they also require consistency and care.
Extreme heat, erratic routines, and indulgent foods can interfere with your results, which makes it even more important to be prepared.
So, how do you protect your progress and maximize your summer glow-up? By following a few smart habits.
Vacation-Ready Checklist: Staying on Track with GLP-1 Therapy
Here are some essential tips to help you enjoy your vacation without sabotaging your success:
Store Your Medications Correctly
Compounded GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP Injections must be kept refrigerated until use.
If you’re flying, use an insulated medical travel cooler with a cold pack and never check your meds in luggage; instead, carry them on to avoid temperature fluctuations.
Plan Your Meals (and Your Treats)
Vacation shouldn’t mean overindulgence. That’s not to say you cannot enjoy local cuisine, just remember to keep portion control in mind.
These injections naturally reduce cravings, but you must do your part and listen to your body and stop when full.
You should also avoid consuming excessive amounts of ultra-processed and greasy foods or sweets, as these can contribute to digestive issues.
Hydrate Constantly
Dehydration is a risk in hot climates, especially with appetite-suppressing therapies that might make you forget to drink.
Remember, by the time you feel thirsty, your body has already begun to experience mild dehydration. To prevent this:
- Carry a water bottle and aim for at least 8–10 glasses daily.
- If you are sweating excessively, choose beverages that contain electrolytes, such as coconut water, milk, or sports drinks, to help replenish lost minerals.
Avoid Alcohol Pitfalls
Alcohol can hit harder while using GLP-1 therapy and may upset your stomach or blood sugar levels.
If possible, try to avoid alcoholic beverages, and if you choose to have a cocktail, follow these guidelines:
- Sip slowly
- Limit intake
- Avoid sugary cocktails
Stick to Your Dosing Schedule
Whether you’re hopping time zones, relaxing at a resort, or having a backyard pool party, staying on schedule is key.
To help you stay on track, set reminders on your cell phone so you never miss a dose.
Keep Moving, but Don’t Overdo It
Beach walks, swimming, or light hikes are great ways to stay active. But in the heat, listen to your body. Overexertion can lead to fatigue, dizziness, and dehydration, particularly when combined with appetite-suppressing medications.
How to Maximize Results This Summer
Summer is a perfect time to accelerate your results with GLP-1 therapy, as the warm weather often encourages lighter eating, outdoor activities, and a renewed focus on self-care.
Here’s how to make the most of it:
- Use seasonal produce to fuel your meals: fresh fruits, leafy greens, and grilled lean proteins pair beautifully with your therapy.
- Set new movement goals: whether it’s 10,000 steps a day, morning yoga, or evening swims, the key is to stay consistent.
- Reinforce your “why”: The energy of summer can inspire you to reconnect with your goals. Visualize where you want to be by fall, and let that vision fuel your habits today.
