It means that if you are going to feed insects to an insect-eating animal, you should first feed the insects a nutrient rich diet so that extra nutrition will be in the insects' gut, making them more nutritious for the animal you feed them to.
Some people, instead of gut-loading the insects, sprinkle a nutritional supplement on the insects just before giving them to the lizard.
You can get this stuff, including the insects, in a pet store.
