Nate Bladecki, MPH, RD Nutrition built around your GLP-1.
Enough protein on a smaller appetite, the nausea weeks handled, and your muscle protected while the weight comes off. That's the nutrition side, and it's what helps your medication do its best work. I'm Nate, a registered dietitian, and it's the part I handle alongside your clinic.

Some of this is probably familiar
Eating has become a chore.
Nausea, sulfur burps, constipation, foods you used to like that now turn your stomach, days you have to remind yourself to eat at all. Most of this responds to what you eat and when, not to pushing through it.
You're losing more than fat.
Across nine controlled trials, roughly 30% of the weight lost on these medications is lean mass. Muscle is what holds your strength and your metabolism up, and it does not come back on its own when you stop.
You've wondered what happens when you come off.
In the trial that followed patients after stopping, participants regained about two thirds of what they had lost within a year. The medication did its part. What carries the result forward afterwards is the eating you've built underneath it, which is why the maintenance plan starts in month one rather than at the end.
Sources are listed below, in plain sight, because you should be able to check them.
The person on the other end of this
I'm a registered dietitian. I've worked in hospitals, in community health, and with collegiate and professional athletes, and all of it taught me the same thing: the same symptom almost never has the same cause in two people.
A lot of the people I work with now are on one of these medications and doing everything their clinic asked of them. What gets added on my side is the nutrition that helps the medication work as well as it can: enough protein on a smaller appetite, the side effects managed, and muscle protected while the weight comes off. Your prescriber runs the medical side. I build the nutrition around it so you get the most out of both.
What I actually do
- A protein target you can hit on the appetite you actually have
- Meal structure built around your titration schedule, not a generic template
- Symptom management: nausea, constipation, reflux, sulfur burps, food aversions
- An extra check-in on every dose escalation week, because that's when it gets hard
- Nutrition to protect muscle, matched to what you can realistically train
- A maintenance plan built before you need it, not after
What happens, in order
-
Apply.
Detailed, and worth the time it takes. Your current dose and titration date, symptoms so far, what you can actually keep down right now, health history, and labs if you have them. I read every answer myself before I build anything.
-
Enroll, and watch for your welcome email.
It has your coaching app login and everything you need to get started. That email comes from me, not an autoresponder. No calls to schedule.
-
Your plan arrives within 48 business hours.
Built for your dose, your schedule, and your appetite. Structure, protein targets, and what to do on the hard days. Not a starter kit.
-
Check in weekly.
Everything runs through messaging and your app. I review, adjust, and tell you the next step. Dose escalation weeks get an extra touchpoint.
How this fits with the care you're already getting
Your clinic manages your medication, your dose, and your medical care, and that is exactly where those decisions belong. My job is the food half: what you eat, how you handle the side effects, and protecting your muscle while the weight comes off. When something crosses from a food problem into a medical one, I send you straight back to them the same day. Everything I build is meant to make their protocol easier to stay on.

What working together is like
Nate is very careful with body constitution and lab work. He is direct and friendly, and he will tell you what you do not want to hear.
I would not have been assertive enough to ask the right questions of my doctors without him.
From one healthcare professional to another, I trust how he works.
The research, in full
-
Roughly 30% of the weight lost on GLP-1 therapy is lean mass.
Beavers KM, et al. Obesity 2025;33(2):225-237. Meta-analysis of 9 randomized controlled trials.
-
About two thirds of lost weight is regained after stopping.
Wilding JPH, et al. Diabetes Obes Metab 2022;24(8):1553-1564. STEP 1 extension.
-
GI symptoms are common and mostly early. 44.2% nausea, 24.8% vomiting, largely within the first 20 weeks.
STEP 1 trial safety data. Wilding JPH, et al. N Engl J Med 2021;384(11):989-1002.
Questions people ask before they start
Do I have to be on a GLP-1 to work with you?
No, but this program is built for people who are.
What if I'm barely hungry?
That's the normal starting point, and it's most of the problem worth solving. The plan is built around a small appetite rather than assuming you can eat more.
Will you talk to my prescriber?
If you want me to, yes. If your clinic wants a monthly summary, I'll send one. I never share anything without your say-so.
What happens if I stop the medication?
That's the part most people don't plan for, and it's why maintenance is part of the plan from the start rather than something we get to later.
Is this included in what I pay the clinic?
No, it's separate. Your clinic handles your medication and your medical care, and you pay them for that. Nutrition is mine, and you pay me directly for it.
Do I need labs to start?
No. If you have recent bloodwork, share it and I will factor it in.
Do I have to buy supplements?
No. They're optional on every plan.
Can I cancel?
Anytime. No contract, no minimum.
Start with the first four weeks
This is the guide I hand every client in their first month: what to eat while the nausea is bad, how to get protein in on no appetite, and what to expect at each dose step. Tell me where to send it and it's yours to start on today.
The medication is doing its job. This is the other half.
