The GLP-1 isn't what puts your muscle at risk. Not eating enough is.
Registered dietitian Aoife McMahon has worked in weight-loss clinics, bariatric surgery, and weight-loss drug prescribing. Today she practices from a weight-inclusive lens, with a background in eating disorders.
In this episode of the Beyond GLP-1 series, we talk about sarcopenia, bariatric surgery, and why so many of the answers people are looking for don't exist yet.
In this episode, you'll learn:
What sarcopenia is, and why muscle mass and muscle function are two different things
How appetite suppression can quietly lead to undernourishment and muscle loss
Why "I lost weight and I could move better" doesn't tell the whole story
What the research does and doesn't say about weightlifting as protection
Why eating disorder screening and informed consent are missing from most GLP-1 prescribing
