Beyond the Prescription: New GLP-1 Program Seeks to Bring Nutrition Support to the Medication Protocol

Top Nutrition Coaching's program pairs GLP-1 medication with ongoing dietitian support to help patients address nutrition, lifestyle changes, and sustainable weight management.

WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Top Nutrition Coaching, a Receptive company, today announced the launch of a new GLP-1 program designed to pair weight-loss medication with ongoing, individualized nutrition care from licensed registered dietitians.

Research has increasingly highlighted the importance of nutrition, physical activity, and ongoing clinical support alongside obesity medications. However, a 2026 study by Yale researchers found many patients can access these medications in a matter of minutes "with almost no clinician engagement." 

This new program prioritizes clinical support and ongoing monitoring over prescriptions alone. Top Nutrition Coaching patients are evaluated by a licensed clinician and paired with a registered dietitian who stays with them throughout the course of treatment to offer personalized support. Real-world programs that include dietitian support with GLP-1 treatment report greater weight loss than medication-only outcomes.

Patients can expect benefits like:

• Individualized nutrition plans
• Protein and nutrient intake guidance
• Strategies for managing reduced appetite
• Support for maintaining lean mass
• Guidance around eating enough while taking GLP-1s
• Behavioral/lifestyle coaching
• Ongoing monitoring
• Coordination with the prescribing clinician
• Support during dose changes or discontinuation

"Getting a prescription should be the beginning of a patient's treatment, not the end," said Devon Allen, MD, a physician who works with Top Nutrition Coaching. "GLP-1 medications can be an important tool for weight management, but patients also need support navigating what, when and how they eat while taking them. Our goal is to make that support part of the treatment experience from day one."

Receptive CEO Amber Gill also said the program hopes to create proper clinical infrastructure, an important step if more insurance carriers are to cover the medications for members.

"The conversation around GLP-1s has focused heavily on access and cost, but we also need to ask what happens after a patient receives the prescription," she said. "If employers, health plans and pharmacy benefit managers are going to invest in these medications, they need visibility into whether patients are receiving the clinical support necessary to achieve meaningful, sustainable outcomes."
