The Right Way to Lose Weight on a GLP-1 (Protect Your Metabolism & Avoid Regain)

Описание: Are you losing weight on a GLP-1 but secretly worried about muscle loss, fatigue, or gaining it all back when you stop?

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide can be powerful tools for midlife weight loss, especially during perimenopause when estrogen declines and insulin resistance rises. But they are not magic. And if you don’t protect your metabolism while using them, you may unintentionally lose muscle, slow your metabolic rate, and set yourself up for weight regain.

In this episode, I break down how to use GLP-1 medications the right way so your results actually last.

💡 In this episode, we cover:
• How GLP-1 medications really work in the body
• The biggest myths about GLP-1s and metabolism
• Why midlife hormone shifts change how these medications affect you
• The risk of muscle loss and “skinny fat” during rapid weight loss
• 5 GLP-1-friendly rules to protect your muscle and metabolic rate
• How to structure protein intake and strength training while on a GLP-1
• Warning signs your dose may be too high
• How to come off a GLP-1 safely to reduce the risk of weight regain
• When long-term pharmacologic support may actually be appropriate
