Mounjaro Week 4 | VSG + Thyroid + Strength Training Explained

Описание: Week 4 on Mounjaro and I increased to 5mg — and we need to talk about the advice I keep hearing: “Stop lifting weights if you want to lose faster.”

As a dual board-certified nurse practitioner, a VSG patient, and someone managing hypothyroidism, I’m breaking down what’s really happening physiologically when GLP-1 therapy meets midlife metabolism and strength training.

In this video, I cover:

• What changed moving up to 5mg
• My Week 4 weight loss update
• How Mounjaro feels layered on top of VSG restriction
• Post-injection fatigue and what actually helps
• Hypothyroidism and how thyroid function impacts fat loss
• Why strength training does NOT slow weight loss — and why preserving muscle matters even more after bariatric surgery

If you’re navigating GLP-1 therapy, perimenopause, thyroid dysfunction, or weight loss after VSG, this conversation matters. Rapid weight loss without muscle preservation can lower resting metabolic rate long term. I’m not chasing smaller. I’m protecting muscle and metabolic health.

This is not about willpower. It’s about biology.

Let’s break it down.
