Weight, muscle & metabolism

Protecting muscle matters, too.

The panel discussed the intersection of midlife weight changes, blood sugar, sleep, and hormones. Dr. Glasnapp emphasized looking beyond scale weight, especially during weight-loss treatment, to consider muscle, bone, and overall metabolic health.

A thoughtful place to start

1. 1Ask what measures of metabolic health are relevant for you.
2. 2Discuss a realistic strength-training plan and individualized protein needs.
3. 3If using a GLP-1 medication, ask how your care team will monitor nutrition and muscle.
