Dietary Insights and Nutritional Education in Adults on GLP-1 Therapy (DINE- GLP1) Study
This study is recruiting adults ages 18–65 who are currently prescribed a GLP-1 medication (such as Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro) and have been taking it for at least 4 weeks. Participants will take part in a 6-week mobile healthy eating program designed to support better diet quality while continuing medication as prescribed by a healthcare provider (the medication itself is not being tested).
The study uses a internet-based program delivered through the SWITCH Diets app, developed by the research team. Participants complete weekly lessons that include videos, recipes, quizzes, and simple tracking of key nutrients and eating habits. The study includes two assessments (one before the program and one after 6 weeks), including an online survey and self-reported weight. At the end of the program, participants will be invited to complete a one-on-one interview with a trained researcher about experiences with GLP-1 medication and the program.
