If youâre on a GLP-1⌠this is what you must be doing to protect your muscle đ
GLP-1 medications are incredible for fat loss⌠but without the right support, you can also lose lean muscle mass right along with it.
And thatâs NOT the goal.
Muscle = metabolism, strength, energy, longevity đŞ
These 5 must-haves help protect your muscle mass, prevent that âskinny fatâ look, and even help minimize âOzempic faceâ by supporting lean, healthy tissue while you lose weight.
Here are my 5 non-negotiables to help you preserve muscle while losing weight:
⨠Quality Protein Powder
You need adequate protein daily to maintain muscle. Most people on GLP-1s arenât eating enoughâthis helps fill the gap easily.
⨠Essential Amino Acids (EAAs)
These are the building blocks of muscle. They help your body repair, recover, and prevent muscle breakdown.
⨠Collagen Peptides
Supports hair, skin, nails + tissue repair. Bonus: anti-aging benefits â¨
We naturally lose collagen as we age every single dayâthis loss is a big reason why skin starts to sag, thin, and lose elasticity over time. Replacing it helps support healthier, more resilient skin while youâre losing weight.
(We offer injectable, topical, AND oral options!)
⨠Creatine
One of the most researched supplements out there. Helps maintain and build lean muscle + supports brain function and mental clarity.
Noâyou wonât âbulk up,â youâll just protect what you have đ
⨠Bone Broth
An easy way to get extra protein, electrolytes, and hydrationâespecially if your appetite is low.
(Pro tip: choose low-sodium options if you have high blood pressure.)

Why this matters on a GLP-1:
⢠Appetite is reduced â protein intake often drops
⢠Muscle loss can slow your metabolism
⢠Preserving muscle = better fat loss results
⢠Supports energy, strength, and overall health
⢠Helps prevent hair thinning and nutrient deficiencies
