What you do before your GLP-1 dose can make a huge difference.
Whether it’s your first injection or your 40th, how you prep the night before affects everything from nausea to energy to how well the medication works.
Think of it like setting your system up for success. The better your routine, the smoother your journey.
Here’s what we recommend doing the night before your GLP-1 dose:
🚫 Skip alcohol and greasy food
Both can irritate your stomach, interfere with sleep, and make side effects like nausea or bloating way worse. Give your gut a clean slate—your morning self will thank you.
💧 Hydrate more than usual
GLP-1s slow digestion and often reduce thirst cues. Getting ahead on hydration supports smoother digestion and can ease constipation, headaches, or fatigue the next day.
Keep your injection, supplements, or other meds in one spot. Not only does this reduce morning stress, but it also helps you stay consistent and less likely to forget key steps in your routine.
🧴 Lay out your meds and vitamins
Keep your injection, supplements, or other meds in one spot. Not only does this reduce morning stress, it helps you stay consistent and less likely to forget key steps in your routine.
😴 Prioritize rest
A well-rested body handles digestion, blood sugar regulation, and medication side effects better. Aim for 7–9 hours if you can—your gut, hormones, and hunger signals all depend on it.
✨ Little changes = better results
Consistency and routine go a long way when you’re on a GLP-1. One small tweak can mean the difference between a great day… and a rough one.
Save this checklist or share with someone starting their weekly dose soon—these tiny prep tips really add up.
