GLP-1 medications can cause loss of both fat and lean muscle, so pairing them with adequate protein intake and resistance exercise helps preserve the muscle you need for strength, metabolism, and long-term health. Talk to your doctor about a plan that protects your body composition, not just the number on the scale.
