Ep. 163 GLP-1 Muscle Loss: What It Does to Your Metabolism as You Age

The scale is going down. Your clothes fit differently. By every visible measure, the medication is working.

But what if some of what you're losing is muscle — and you'd never know it from the number on the scale?

In this episode, I get into what muscle actually does metabolically, what happens to your metabolism when you lose it, why a GLP-1 makes this easier to miss, and why the stakes are higher for women in midlife.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• What skeletal muscle actually does for your metabolism

• What happens metabolically when you lose it on a GLP-1

• Why appetite suppression makes muscle loss easier to miss

• Why this matters more for women in perimenopause and menopause

• Why protecting muscle isn't optional — it's part of protecting your metabolism
