Life gets busy. Whether you're juggling work, family, or health changes, and especially if you're using a GLP-1 medication like Wegovy or Zepound,  planning balanced meals can feel overwhelming. But meeting your nutrition goals doesn’t have to mean spending hours in the kitchen.

At knownwell, we support our patients with smart, evidence-based tools that fit real life. That includes chef-prepared meal services and medical-grade meal replacements. These options offer convenience, consistency, and clinical nutrition all delivered right to your door.

Let’s explore how these tools work and why they can be game-changers for your health.

2. Medical-Grade Meal Replacements: Ready Pro & Robard

What They Are

Medical-grade meal replacements go beyond your average protein shake. These products are formulated to replace or supplement meals with high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals, and balanced nutrition.

Unlike many over-the-counter options, these are clinically tested and held to strict quality standards making them especially effective for GLP-1 users and those pursuing structured weight loss.  

Why They Work

  • Muscle maintenance: Supports preservation during weight loss  
  • Blood sugar control: Promotes energy and glucose stability
  • Digestion: Easy on the stomach even when appetite is low
  • Portability: Ideal for travel or hectic days  

Best For

  • Quick breakfasts or lunch swaps
  • On-the-go nutrition
  • Filling gaps when you’re not hungry but need fuel
  • Post-workout recovery or smart snacking

Pro Tips for Success

  • Use as a meal or snack
  • Pair with fiber-rich foods for better fullness and gut health
  • Don’t forget water—higher protein means higher hydration needs

These are powerful tools—not just "convenience foods." They support:

  • Weight loss
  • Metabolic health
  • Blood sugar control
  • Muscle preservation during calorie restriction

Where to Order

The Bottom Line: Convenient Nutrition with Clinical Confidence

You don’t have to choose between health goals and a busy schedule. Chef-prepared meals and medical-grade meal replacements are convenient, customizable, and backed by clinical science. Whether you're starting a GLP-1 medication, managing a chronic condition, or simply trying to eat better, these tools can reduce the stress of daily decision-making.
