Itās ironic that weāre simultaneously acknowledging the downsides of plastics and promoting GLP-1 meds Itās the hubris of a materially advanced society ā we canāt fathom how engineering our materials and our bodies could be bad for us Though the negatives of GLPs will likely be discovered sooner (spoiler alert: muscle loss)

Question about the muscle loss comment, have you read something recently? I haven't looked into all this so I am not up to date. Educational guess I'd say it's in relationship to losing weight doing nothing as opposed to previously people would actually work out etc...

Research aside, my fitness company has been receiving an influx of requests for our trainers to aid them while on GLP-1. Anecdotally, muscle loss seems to happen before the fat loss. I havenāt seen a direct causative study on this but it seems itās more than just losing muscle from inactivity. There seems to be a correlation between the compound and direct muscle loss.
