You’ve probably heard the buzz about GLP-1 medications. With an estimated 10 million adults in the US currently taking one, it’s hard to miss.

No matter where you are on your journey with GLP-1 medications- already taking one, curious to learn more, or wanting to come off of one - this post will break down what you need to know. We will discuss how they work, what to eat to maintain muscle, how to manage common challenges, and how to build a strong scaffolding of habits through it all.
