Why electrolytes matter on GLP-1s

If you’re eating less, you often get less sodium/potassium too. Dehydration can show up as nausea, headaches, fatigue, constipation, and dizziness.

Ingredients

  • 16–24 oz water
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon (or 1–2 tbsp bottled lemon)
  • A pinch of salt (start tiny)
  • Optional: a squeeze of sugar-free sweetener
  • Optional: magnesium glycinate (capsule taken separately, not mixed)

Directions

  1. Add lemon to water.
  2. Add a pinch of salt and stir.
  3. Taste and adjust.

Tip: The nausea version

Sip slowly over 30–60 minutes. Chugging can backfire.

Warning: If you have kidney disease or are on fluid/salt restrictions

Talk to your clinician before increasing electrolytes.
