Registered Dietitian for Weight Management Program

About the Program Our GLP-1 program supports patients on GLP-1 for weight management. Most GLP-1 patients in the Philippines are injecting with very little nutrition support — that gap is the job. You'll work alongside our prescribing physicians from first titration through maintenance. All consultations are online. What You'll Do Conduct nutrition assessments and build individualized care plans via teleconsultation; adjust at every dose escalation. Set and monitor protein targets to protect muscle and bone during rapid weight loss, and watch for micronutrient deficiency risk (vitamin D, calcium, B12, iron). Endorse supplementation or labs to the physician as indicated. Build plans around how Filipinos actually eat — rice as the dietary center, affordable local proteins (isda, manok, itlog, tokwa, monggo), merienda patterns, and handaan. Manage GI side effects — nausea, vomiting, constipation, LBM, reflux, early satiety — by adjusting meal timing, texture, volume, and fiber. Escalate red flags to the physician immediately. Prepare patients nutritionally for dose reductions and discontinuation driven by cost, supply, or HMO denial, well before they happen. Reinforce cold-chain storage (2–8°C) during brownouts and travel. Escalate immediately if a patient reports sourcing from unregistered sellers. Use motivational interviewing to build habits that hold post-medication; screen for disordered eating and refer out. Use the camera deliberately — ref and pantry walkthroughs, label reading, portions on the patient's own plates. Manage asynchronous follow-up between consults. Document in the EMR and practice per DOH telemedicine guidelines and the Data Privacy Act (RA 10173) — approved platforms only.

How you work You treat patients with respect regardless of body size, and you can hold both a weight-inclusive stance and the clinical realities of this program without flinching. You are genuinely self-directed. Part-time and work-from-home means managing your own patient load, schedule, and follow-ups without daily supervision.
