Lifestyle Tips on GLP-1 Medication: Exercise, Sleep & Stress Management

Why Lifestyle Matters

GLP-1's like Mounjaro, Wegovy + Ozempic help reduce appetite and control blood sugar — but your lifestyle choices amplify your results and wellbeing.

Moving Your Body

  • Aim for 30 minutes of moderate activity most days: walking, swimming, cycling, or yoga
  • Include strength training 2–3 times per week to preserve muscle mass
  • Move often if you have a sedentary job — stretch, stand, or walk for a few minutes every hour

Sleep: Your Secret Weapon

  • Get 7–9 hours of quality sleep nightly
  • Create a bedtime routine: dim lights, limit screens, relax with reading or meditation
  • Avoid caffeine and heavy meals close to bedtime
  • Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet

Managing Stress

  • Stress can trigger cravings and blood sugar spikes
  • Try mindfulness, deep breathing, or gentle yoga to stay calm
  • Prioritize self-care and social connection
  • Break big goals into smaller steps to reduce overwhelm

Final Thoughts

Weight loss is a journey of many small habits — food, movement, rest, and mindset all play a role. Support your body and mind, and your results will follow.
