About this listen
GLP-1 medications are everywhere right now-and if you’re a woman over 40, chances are you’ve considered one, are currently taking one, or know someone who is.
But here’s the conversation that’s missing:
What happens to your muscle when appetite drops and weight comes off quickly?
In this episode, we’re talking about why strength training is non-negotiable for women 40+ taking GLP-1s-and how skipping it can impact your metabolism, energy, body composition, and long-term results.
This is not an anti-GLP-1 conversation.
It’s a pro-muscle, pro-strength, pro-health-after-40 one.
You’ll learn:
- How GLP-1s can contribute to muscle loss if strength training isn’t part of the plan
- Why walking and cardio alone aren’t enough to protect your metabolism in midlife
- The role protein plays when appetite is low (and why it matters more-not less)
- What smart, sustainable strength training looks like while on a GLP-1
- Why the real goal isn’t just weight loss-it’s body composition, strength, and confidence
If you want results that last—and a body that feels strong, capable, and energized-this episode will help you train smarter and protect what matters most.
🎧 Tune in and let’s talk about how to lose fat without losing the muscle that makes midlife powerful.
