By Joy Somers, functional nutritionist and gut health specialist, 15+ years in the field.
Somewhere between "I'm eating so much less" and "why do I feel like this," there's a conversation nobody's having with you.
Not your doctor, who has fifteen minutes and a prescription to manage. Not the internet, which is mostly arguing about whether you should be taking these medications at all. Not the wellness accounts selling you a supplement stack before they've told you what your gut is actually dealing with.
You might be dealing with constipation that showed up out of nowhere. Bloating that doesn't match how little you're eating. Reflux after meals that used to be fine. A nagging sense that you're not getting enough protein, but no idea how much is actually enough when your appetite has changed this much.
None of that means something is wrong with you. It means your gut is adjusting to a genuinely different way of eating, and nobody's given you the manual.
GLP 1 medications didn’t just change the scale.
They changed how an enormous number of people eat, digest, and think about food and that shift reaches people who’ve never taken one too.
Appetite
Appetite that shows up differently, day to day.
Meals
Meals that are smaller, less frequent, or both.
Cultural shift
A cultural shift toward protein forward, low volume eating.
Digestive symptoms
Digestive symptoms that get chalked up to “the medication” or ignored entirely.
Muscle preservation
Real questions about muscle preservation, nutrient intake, and long term gut health.
By the end of this course, you'll understand
You're currently taking a GLP 1 medication and want to understand how it affects your digestion, not just your weight.
You're considering starting one and want to be fully informed about its potential gastrointestinal effects.
You took one, stopped, and are now trying to figure out what "normal" eating and digestion feel like again.
Alternatively, you've never taken one but are experiencing bloating, constipatiaon, acid reflux, or other digestive discomfort, and you're seeking clear, actionable answers.
You're trying to lose weight or eat differently, all while actually protecting your gut health and supporting your metabolism, rather than simply chasing a number on the scale.
What you will learn
By the end of this course, you'll understand
Why appetite, fullness, and digestion shift the way they do, in plain terms, no biochemistry degree required. What's actually behind common symptoms like bloating, constipation, and reflux, and which ones warrant a call to your doctor. How much protein you actually need when you can barely finish a plate, and how to get there without forcing food.
The real difference between fiber and hydration strategies that help and the ones that just add to the discomfort. Which supplements are worth your money and which are noise dressed up as a solution. Why quick fixes and random supplements were never going to be the answer, and what actually is.
10 Video lessons. Under 10 minutes each.
Watch them all in one sitting or spread across a week, your call.
Welcome: Why Gut Health Became the Missing Piece of This Conversation
What this course covers, who it's for, and the mindset shift we're starting with. If you're taking GLP 1 medication and finding that the conversation seems to stop at appetite and weight loss, this is where we go deeper. You'll learn why digestion, nutrition, hydration, bowel movements, and gut health can become such an important part of the experience and why understanding what's happening in your body can make the process feel much less confusing.
How GLP 1 Medications Actually Affect Digestion, In Plain English
The mechanics, without the jargon. We'll break down what GLP 1 medications can do to appetite, stomach emptying, digestion, and the signals between your gut and brain. No complicated medical terminology and no overwhelming science lesson just a clear explanation of what's happening and why you may be noticing changes in the way you eat, digest, and feel.
Why You Can Be Eating Less and Still Feel Bloated
Eating less doesn't always mean feeling lighter or more comfortable. We'll look at why bloating can happen even when your portions are smaller, including slower digestion, changes in meal patterns, constipation, hydration, food choices, and how quickly you're eating. You'll learn how to start identifying what's contributing to that uncomfortable full, tight, or bloated feeling instead of simply assuming you're eating the wrong foods.
The Constipation Problem Nobody Warns You About.
What's driving it, and where to actually start. We'll talk about why constipation can become more noticeable when digestion slows down, what changes in your routine can contribute to it, and how food, fluids, movement, and daily habits all fit into the picture. You'll leave with a practical starting point instead of randomly adding more fiber and hoping for the best.
Reflux, Nausea, and Slower Digestion
Reflux, Nausea, and Slower Digestion
What's Normal, and What's Not. How to tell the difference, and when it's a "call your doctor" symptom. We'll help you understand some of the common digestive experiences people report while taking GLP 1 medications and what may be worth monitoring. Most importantly, you'll learn where self-care and lifestyle strategies end and when a symptom deserves medical attention.
Protein and Muscle
Why Eating Less Means You Have to Eat Smarter. Practical targets and real world ways to hit them. When your appetite is significantly reduced, getting enough protein can become much harder than it sounds. We'll simplify the process with practical strategies for building protein into smaller meals and snacks, while discussing why preserving muscle matters during weight loss and how to make your nutrition work with your reduced appetite instead of fighting against it.

The Fiber and Hydration Balance
The Fiber and Hydration Balance
Most People Get Wrong. Why more of both isn't automatically better. Fiber and hydration are often treated like the universal answer to digestive problems, but simply adding more isn't always the solution. We'll explore the relationship between fiber, fluids, digestion, and bowel regularity, and help you understand how to make changes gradually and intentionally rather than overwhelming your digestive system.
Supplements
Supplements
What Actually Helps vs. What's Just Noise. A short, honest walkthrough, no upsell to a supplement line. With so many products marketed for gut health, it can be difficult to know what's useful, what's unnecessary, and what's simply clever marketing. We'll cut through the noise and discuss the role supplements may or may not play, so you can make informed decisions without feeling like you need an entire cabinet of products.
Rebuilding a Resilient Gut for the Long Term.
Rebuilding a Resilient Gut for the Long Term.
Where the real, lasting work happens, beyond any single medication or diet. Your goal isn't just to get through the next few week, it's to build habits that support your digestive health over time. We'll look beyond quick fixes and focus on the everyday foundations that can help create a more sustainable relationship with food, digestion, movement, hydration, and nutrition.
Your Next 10 Days
Your Next 10 Days
Turning Understanding Into a Plan. What to do with everything you just learned, starting tomorrow. Instead of finishing the course with a notebook full of information and no idea what to actually do, you'll have a simple 10 day starting framework. We'll turn the key lessons into practical daily actions so you can begin paying attention to your body's signals, making intentional changes, and building momentum without trying to change everything at once.
This course is my answer to that gap: straightforward, practical, and built for exactly where you are right now.

I'm Joy Somers
I'm Joy Somers, a functional nutritionist and gut health specialist. I've spent 15+ years helping people fix their relationship with food and their digestion, long before "GLP 1" was a word most people knew.
I'm not against these medications, and I'm not selling you on them either. What I care about is what happens in your gut while you're navigating this, whichever path you're on. I've watched the questions I'm getting from clients and followers change dramatically over the past couple of years, and most of the content answering them is either about the drug or generic gut health advice that hasn't caught up to how people are actually eating now.

Try it for a week. If it wasn't useful to you, email us and we'll refund you, no questions asked. I'm not worried about that happening, because this holds up on its own. I just don't want price to be the reason you don't get answers you're looking for.
I was constantly dealing with bloating and changes in my digestion and kept blaming myself for not eating “right.” This course helped me understand how changes in appetite, meal size, hydration, and digestion can all connect. Everything was explained in a way that actually made sense.
There is so much conflicting information about GLP-1 medications and gut health. This course cut through the noise and gave me practical information without making me feel overwhelmed. I especially appreciated the sections on constipation, reflux, fiber, and hydration.
One of my biggest struggles was figuring out how to get enough protein when my appetite was so different. The course gave me a much better understanding of protein and muscle preservation, along with realistic ways to think about nutrition when you're eating smaller meals.
I had been experiencing digestive discomfort and didn't really know what was normal, what I should pay attention to, or where to start. The lessons helped me understand the bigger picture instead of chasing one symptom at a time. I finished the course feeling much more informed and confident about my next steps.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be currently taking a GLP 1 medication for this to help me?
No. This course is for anyone navigating digestion in this new food and weight-loss landscape, whether you're on a medication, considering one, done with one, or just dealing with symptoms and want real answers.
I've never taken one of these medications. Is this still for me?
Yes. A lot of what's covered, protein needs, fiber and hydration balance, bloating, constipation, applies to anyone eating less or differently right now, medication or not.
I already know a fair amount about gut health. Will this be too basic?
This course connects what you may already know about gut health to what's specifically changed in this GLP-1 era, which is newer territory even for people who follow gut health content closely. Most people tell me they learn something they hadn't put together yet.
How long will this actually take me?
Around 90 minutes to two hours total, in ten lessons under ten minutes each. Watch it in one sitting or spread it across a few days.
Is this going to tell me exactly what to eat every day?

What if I want more than understanding, I want an actual plan?
That's exactly what the 10-Day Gut Check is built for. You'll see it offered right after you enroll here, and there's no pressure either way.
