In Part 1 of this series, we explored how Albertsons Companies supports customers through pharmacy services and wellness resources. Increasingly, though, the conversation does not end at the pharmacy counter. After a prescription is filled, customers often begin asking a different question: What do I eat now? As adoption grows, so does interest in foods that support changing nutrition priorities, particularly protein, fiber and hydration. For many customers using GLP-1 medications, that question is shaping how they shop, plan meals and think about nutrition. As shoppers look for practical ways to support their health goals, their grocery carts increasingly reflect those changing priorities. A Different Way to Fill the Cart Research shows that people using GLP-1 medications are paying closer attention to the nutritional value of the foods they buy. Protein, fiber and hydration have become important considerations as shoppers look for foods that fit their routines while supporting

For many Americans, conversations about health and wellness look different than they did just a few years ago. Medications known as GLP-1s have quickly become part of the national conversation, changing how people think about weight management, nutrition and long-term health. Awareness has become mainstream, with 65% of consumers familiar with GLP-1 medications, 47% saying they personally know someone who has used them and roughly 40 million adults reporting current or past use of a GLP-1.* As interest continues to grow, customers are looking for trusted resources to help them understand their options and navigate what comes next. At Albertsons Companies, that journey often begins at the pharmacy counter. A Trusted Resource Close to Home Pharmacists are among the most accessible healthcare professionals in the country, helping patients manage medications, answer questions and navigate changes in their healthcare needs. GLP-1 medications are available at Albertsons Cos.
