Appearances
In a 2026 perspective in the Journal of Nutrition,
There was analysis that showed that fiber supplementation, of course, improves bowel function and stool consistency and directly addressing the constipation and diarrhea that are among the most common side effects with GLP1 use.
Gradual increases in both soluble and insoluble fiber for constipation management, things like prunes and dried fruit and fiber capsules or powders for diarrhea to provide stool bulk.
The same substance that can worsen nausea and bloating during dose escalation can also relieve constipation and normalize bowel function.
With all this talk about fiber, this brings us to what I think is the most underappreciated consequence of the GLP one revolution.
Do I think we should fiber max or fiber min?
I think we, well, it depends, but sarcopenia is a major problem.
And that's a decreased muscle mass and function.
And GLP1 agonists cause weight loss.
That's totally the point.
But not all weight loss is equal.
And in the major trials, approximately 25 to 40% of weight loss.
On GLP1 therapy is lean mass.
So for a 70-year-old who is already constipated, that's not just a number on a DEXA scan.
That's a functional independence.
That's a ball risk.
That's the difference between living at home.
And living in one of the facilities that I used to round on.
And the JAMA International Medicine, uh, the joint advisory, they recommend.
the need for protein at 1.2 to 1.5 grams per kg.
