GLP-1 medications get blamed for muscle loss, but the medication itself isn't the culprit. What actually drives muscle loss is a calorie deficit without enough protein and without resistance training, the same pattern you'd see with any aggressive weight loss method, GLP-1 or not.
The good news is this is completely within your control. Prioritizing protein intake and staying active during treatment makes a real difference in what kind of weight you lose, fat or muscle.
At Optimize U, we use labs, sometime paired with body composition scanning, to help you see exactly what's happening under the number on the scale, so you and your provider can adjust your plan before a habit becomes a setback.
