Heidi Skolnik launches GLP-1 guide with Tribeca reception

Nutritionist Heidi Skolnik marked the release of Your GLP-1 Game Plan with a Tribeca event in New York City and a new book aimed at people taking GLP-1 medications. The book hit No. 7 on The New York Times advice bestseller list and offers practical guidance on eating, movement, side effects and long-term health.

Why it matters: - GLP-1 medications have moved into the mainstream, but many users still get limited guidance on nutrition, exercise and mental health. - Skolnik’s book is built to help readers protect muscle, energy and stamina while navigating weight-loss medication. - The title’s bestseller debut signals strong demand for practical advice around a fast-growing category of drugs.

The details: - The 304-page book is a practical, evidence-based guide for people considering GLP-1 medications or already taking them. - Skolnik focuses on what happens beyond the prescription, including nutrition, exercise, side effects, emotional well-being and sustainable habits. - The book covers meal timing, a “Balanced GLP-1 Plate,” common side effects, supplements, changing relationships with food and body image, and movement and fitness. - The book includes 50 recipes designed to help readers meet nutritional needs even when appetite is reduced. - Skolnik says the goal is to translate the science of GLP-1 use into everyday strategies that support adequate nutrition, strength, stamina, energy and long-term health. - The event space featured Slonem’s rabbits, butterflies and birds, curated by One Art Space co-owner MaryAnn Giella McCulloh. - Notable attendees included Wolf Blitzer, Lynn Blitzer, Eric Hall, Sam Brock, Savanah Sellers, Joy Bauer, Dr. Marci Goolsby, Dr. Ashley Austin, Dr. Ellen Casey, Dr. Jordan Metzel and Esther Newberg.

Between the lines: - The book arrives as consumers are hearing more about GLP-1 drugs but less about how to manage the day-to-day tradeoffs that can come with them. - Skolnik is positioning nutrition and fitness support as part of the treatment conversation, not an afterthought. - The Tribeca launch paired health guidance with contemporary art, underscoring the book’s broader lifestyle framing.

What's next: - Readers can learn more through the book’s details. - Skolnik’s broader platform includes speaking, media appearances and performance nutrition work that could keep the book in public view. - Continued interest in GLP-1 medications may drive more demand for advice on eating, movement and maintaining muscle while on treatment.

The bottom line: - Skolnik’s new book tries to fill a clear gap: practical, science-based guidance for people using GLP-1 medications beyond the prescription itself.
