GLP-1s, Weight Loss, and Your Bone Health

GLP-1 medications can support significant weight loss, but some of that loss may come from lean mass, including muscle and bone. In this episode, Dr. Doug breaks down the current research on semaglutide, tirzepatide, bone turnover, and bone density. He also explains why baseline screening, adequate protein, resistance training, and ongoing body composition monitoring matter when balancing weight-loss and bone-health goals.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33567185/https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(24)00203-7/fulltexthttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2206038https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dmrr.3168🦴 Stronger Bones.
