The first-month headache on a GLP-1 is usually not the medicine attacking your head. It is usually a fluid and salt problem wearing a migraine costume. Thirst drops when appetite drops. Coffee stays. The afternoon feels like jet lag. People reach for another espresso and make the night worse.
This is the hydration article. What changed, the three electrolytes that actually matter, and a morning routine that does not require a sachet we do not sell.
| Electrolyte | Why it shows up here | Ordinary sources |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium | You are eating less processed food, which is where most sodium was hiding | A pinch of salt in water or food, broth, pickles if they sit well |
| Potassium | Fruit and potato intake often collapse with appetite | Yoghurt, banana, kiwi, potato, beans, in small servings |
| Magnesium | Low intake is already common after 40, and it is involved in sleep and muscle | Greens, nuts, yoghurt. SleepHit uses magnesium bisglycinate in the night stick, which is not a substitute for food |
The thirst mechanism went quiet
GLP-1 signalling changes more than hunger. A lot of people simply forget to drink. Combined with smaller meals, you lose the water that used to arrive inside food, and you lose the salt that used to arrive with it. The headache is often the first invoice. The fatigue is the second. The 3am wake is the third, because a dry night is a light night.
A morning hydration routine, from the kitchen
-
Water before coffee
A glass, sipped, with a pinch of salt if the headache is already a pattern. Then coffee. Caffeine on an empty, dry stomach is how people write off the whole morning.
-
Eat something that carries fluid
Yoghurt, fruit, soup. The volume does the job that a flavour packet pretends to. If nausea is the blocker, read what actually helps with nausea first.
-
Stop using caffeine as the fatigue treatment
A 2pm coffee on a GLP-1 is still in you at 2am, and clearance does not get faster because you slept badly. Cut-off moves earlier, not later. Then give the last hour a single shape. SleepHit is built for that hour: glycine, magnesium bisglycinate, L-theanine, ashwagandha, taurine and B6, one stick in 8 to 12 oz of water, 30 to 60 minutes before bed. Judge the fortnight by how the mornings start, not by night one.
For the caffeine arithmetic, read the half-life nobody adjusts for. For the week-by-week version of this, read the first 8 weeks checklist.
