How do I stay hydrated on GLP-1 medications?

Adequate hydration is essential on GLP-1s due to reduced thirst signals, potential nausea-related fluid loss, and dehydration risks. Aim for 8-10 glasses (64-80 ounces) of water daily minimum, more if exercising or in hot weather. Carry a water bottle and sip throughout the day rather than chugging large amounts at once. Set phone reminders if you forget to drink. Monitor urine color - pale yellow indicates good hydration; dark yellow suggests dehydration. Include hydrating foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and broth-based soups. Limit caffeine and alcohol which have diuretic effects. Electrolyte-enhanced water or sugar-free electrolyte supplements can help if experiencing dizziness or fatigue. Dehydration symptoms include dark urine, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, dry mouth, and headaches. SeraVia Hydration+ Restore provides electrolytes specifically formulated for GLP-1 users who may struggle with fluid balance during appetite suppression and potential GI side effects.
