Does GLP-1 Cause Muscle Loss? (PCOS, Protein & Protecting Your Metabolism)

Описание: Does GLP-1 cause muscle loss?

If you're taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, or another GLP-1 medication for weight loss — especially with PCOS or insulin resistance — this is one of the most searched questions online.

In this episode of The Weight Loss Truce Series, I break down:

• Whether GLP-1 medications directly cause muscle loss
• What actually causes lean mass loss during weight loss
• Why protein intake matters more than ever on GLP-1
• How insulin resistance impacts fat loss
• Why strength training protects your metabolism
• The truth about calorie deficits and muscle preservation
• How I monitor muscle mass without obsessing

If you're trying to protect your metabolism while losing fat, this conversation will help you separate fear from physiology.

Muscle is not bulk.
Muscle is metabolic insurance.
