GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications are commonly prescribed to help manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. These medications work by stimulating insulin production and reducing appetite, leading to better blood sugar control and potential weight loss. However, one crucial aspect that often gets overlooked is the importance of maintaining adequate protein intake while on GLP-1 medications. Protein plays a vital role in maintaining muscle mass, supporting metabolic health, and ensuring long-term weight management success.

There are also occasions when some of us may stress-eat (sometimes because of those holidays!) When we overdo it and eat too much sugar, we tend to get tired, feel uncomfortably full and bloated, or even disappointed and angry with ourselves for letting those foods get the better of us. But can we gain weight by cheating on our diet in just a single day?

We're excited to launch our latest initiative at ITG - "Let's Start Walking!" This program is all about taking proactive steps towards better health and wellness through the simple yet impactful activity of walking.
