Supplements While On a Weight Loss Medication

Do I Need Supplements While on a Weight Loss Medication?

Not necessarily — but for some, they can offer added support.

At The Balanced Life, we believe in building health from the inside out. That means focusing first on the foundations: balanced nutrition and consistent body movement. Eating a variety of whole foods — with enough protein, healthy fats, and quality carbohydrates — fuels your body in a way that’s not only sustainable, but enjoyable. Pair that with regular strength training and movement that feels good, and you’re setting yourself up for long-term success on your weight loss journey.

That said, we understand that everyone’s body is different. You might notice changes like thinning hair, drier skin, or just find it hard to get enough protein during the day. That’s where targeted supplements may help.

Some options we may suggest include:

• Nutrafol: If you’re experiencing hair shedding or thinning, Nutrafol may help support hair health from the inside out.
• Powdered Collagen: A gentle way to boost skin, hair, and joint health — plus, it adds a bit of extra protein to your day without much effort.
• Protein Supplements: Whether it’s a quick shake, a bar on the go, or a scoop of powder in your morning smoothie, these can help you meet your protein goals, which are especially important for preserving muscle as you lose weight.

Supplements while on a weight loss medication aren’t a must, but they can be helpful tools depending on your unique needs. We’re here to support you with personalized recommendations and encouragement every step of the way.
