Episode notes
Protect Muscle When Using GLP-1s
- If using GLP-1 medications, prioritize resistance training and adequate protein to protect muscle.
- Combine lifestyle composition with drugs or risk accelerated muscle loss and long-term functional decline.
Residency Weight And Food Coping
- Gabrielle Lyon shared being 35 pounds heavier during residency and using food to self-medicate while on 24‑hour calls.
- She said GLP-1 access then might have positively changed her trajectory during that period.
Resistance Training To Prevent Frailty
- Prevent sarcopenia primarily with regular resistance training; walking and Pilates help but are not enough alone.
- Prioritize progressive overload and consistent strength work to maintain muscle across the lifespan.
