💤 Managing Tiredness on Ozempic or Mounjaro — and Support Energy Naturally
Managing Tiredness on Ozempic®, Mounjaro®, Wegovy® or Zepbound®, you might have noticed an unexpected side effect: tiredness or low energy. While these medications are incredibly effective for supporting blood sugar control and weight loss, they can also cause nutrient imbalances that lead to fatigue.
GLP-1 receptor agonists work by slowing digestion and reducing appetite. This helps regulate glucose and suppress hunger — but it also means you’re likely eating less food overall, which can reduce your intake (and absorption) of key nutrients your body needs for energy production.
⚡️ Nutrients Most Affected by GLP-1 Medications
When food intake drops, so does your supply of essential vitamins and minerals. Common deficiencies linked to fatigue include:
| Nutrient | Why It Matters | Signs of Low Levels |
|---|---|---|
| Iron | Carries oxygen in red blood cells for energy | Tiredness, pale skin, low stamina |
| B Vitamins (B1, B6, B12, Folate) | Involved in ATP (cellular energy) production | Brain fog, low mood, sluggishness |
| Magnesium | Supports over 300 enzymatic reactions | Restless sleep, muscle cramps, stress sensitivity |
| Vitamin D | Affects mood, muscle and immune function | Low mood, fatigue, immune weakness |
| Zinc & Selenium | Key for thyroid and metabolic health | Fatigue, hair loss, weakened immunity |
🧬 How Nutrient Absorption Changes on GLP-1s
GLP-1s slow gastric emptying — meaning food and supplements move more slowly through the gut. While this helps regulate blood sugar, it can also impact how efficiently nutrients are absorbed.
Taking the right form of supplements — those that use bioavailable nutrients and avoid fillers or binders — makes a big difference.

🌿 How to Support Energy Naturally
If you’re experiencing tiredness while on GLP-1 therapy, try:
-
Eat small, nutrient-dense meals: Focus on lean proteins, complex carbs, and healthy fats for slow energy release.
-
Stay hydrated: Slower digestion can reduce fluid intake — dehydration worsens fatigue.
-
Move regularly: Gentle resistance training maintains muscle mass and improves energy.
-
Support with the right multivitamin: Choose one that provides methylated B vitamins, iron bisglycinate, and magnesium glycinate for optimal absorption.
