Using GLP-1-based Medication? Why Resistance Training & Protein in Diet Matters

DOWNLOAD RESOURCE

Updated: 07/30/26

This handout is for patients using a GLP-1-based medication who want to learn more about the benefits of resistance training and protein. GLP-1-based meds support blood sugar lowering and weight loss. Weight loss has many health benefits. However, weight loss associated with GLP-1-based meds can contribute to loss of fat and muscle mass. Without intervention, loss of muscle can contribute to weakness, reduced mobility, and metabolic slowdown. This is known as sarcopenia.
