Weight loss injections such as Mounjaro and Wegovy are everywhere, but how do they work, what happens to your muscle while you’re losing weight, and what could happen when you stop taking them?
These medications can be genuinely life-changing for some people, particularly where obesity is affecting their health. But they’re also becoming increasingly normalised as a quick way to lose a few pounds or drop a dress size and I don’t think we’re talking enough about the bigger picture.
In this episode, we cover:
How GLP-1 medications such as Mounjaro and Wegovy work
What people mean when they talk about “food noise”
Why rapid weight loss can also mean losing muscle
Why strength training and protein are so important, particularly for women over 40
Weight changes during perimenopause
The healthy habits that still matter if you decide to use weight loss medication
What may happen when you stop taking it
Why health is about so much more than the number on the scales
I just want to add, there is absolutely no judgement here and I’m certainly not telling anybody whether they should or shouldn’t take medication. I simply want women to understand the full picture and think about their strength, energy, nutrition and long-term health too.
