  • Chia Seeds: The Simple Superfood for Balanced Blood Sugar
    Gabby suggests adding two tablespoons of chia seeds to your diet for improved digestion and stable blood sugar. "Chia seeds help support digestion, blood sugar, cholesterol levels, and bowel movements." Start with one tablespoon soaked in water, and gradually increase. Enjoy them in chia pudding, oats, yogurt, or smoothies for optimal results.
  • Non-Starchy Vegetables: A Diabetic-Friendly Choice
    Gabby highlights asparagus, green beans, snap peas, eggplant, and bell peppers as diabetic-friendly. "These vegetables stabilize blood sugar and provide essential nutrients." Non-starchy vegetables have minimal impact on blood sugar, making them ideal for diabetes management. Aim for 4–5 servings daily to meet fiber goals and enjoy a variety of vitamins and minerals.
  • Healthy Eating Hacks for Busy Lifestyles
    Gabby suggests setting reminders for meals and opting for quick, balanced snacks. "Meal prep, even for 5-10 minutes, can curb fast food temptations." For grocery shopping, consider online orders and prioritize frozen or canned produce. Time is the biggest barrier, but small, intentional changes can enhance energy and focus. Gabby emphasizes the importance of making time for health, even in small ways.

  • - Ro.co - How long do you take Wegovy for weight loss?

    Registered dietitian Gabby Zeagler, MS, RD, CDN, CDCES, says she’s seen Wegovy start to affect clients within a week. “Some people say they feel it immediately after injecting, but to truly notice the appetite-lowering effects and the accompanying weight loss, it typically takes a few weeks. However, there are always a few clients who are non-responders and report feeling no effects at all.”

    “One potential concern is bone health, given the rapid weight loss caused by these medications,” Zeagler says. “Without proper exercise, particularly resistance training, individuals may experience a decline in bone density due to the loss of fat mass and changes in adipokines like leptin and adiponectin.” These effects can be combated through strength training, adequate calcium and vitamin D, and appropriate protein intake.

    One of the common reasons people stop Wegovyis due to a lack of insurance coverage and the drug’s high out-of-pocket cost, according to Zeagler. “Stopping Wegovy or similar medications cold turkey, often due to insurance reasons, has not led to the best outcomes in my experience,” she says. “When clients abruptly discontinue the medication, their cravings tend to return twice as strong, often leading to rapid weight regain at an exponential rate.”

  • - Ro.co - Ozempic reviews: what studies and users say

    Healthcare provider reviews of Ozempic
    We asked healthcare providers for their thoughts on Ozempic and how the medication has improved health outcomes for their patients.

    Gabby Zeagler, MS, RD, CDN, CDCES, a certified diabetes care and education specialist and registered dietitian who works in a private endocrinology clinic, said, “I’ve seen firsthand the transformative impact of medications like Ozempic. For example, I had a patient who once weighed over 300 pounds, had a hemoglobin A1C above 7% (a measure of average blood sugar over the past three months), and was on blood pressure and cholesterol medications. With the support of Ozempic, not only did their A1C drop below diabetic levels, but they were also able to discontinue their blood pressure and cholesterol medications. They’ve lost over 100 pounds, exercise daily, and have all their blood tests within normal ranges. They’ve never felt better.”

  • Marie Claire - Skipped alcohol this month? 7 surprising Dry January benefits that'll convince you to keep going

    Gabby Zeagler, a clinical dietician at Nourish, tells us that alcohol raises blood pressure as it damages our blood vessels. But a four-week break from drinking may help to repair that damage.” Cutting back or stopping altogether can give your cardiovascular system a chance to recover and give your heart a break,” she explains.

    “Alcohol’s main function is to dehydrate us and is what causes such bad hangovers,” adds Zeagler. “It causes our body to lose fluids and essential electrolytes, that’s why sports drinks are everyone’s best friend the morning after. Giving up alcohol allows your body to retain moisture and nutrients.”
