GLP-1 receptor agonists, used to promote fat burning by shutting off the glucose pathway, can lead to significant metabolic changes. While effective for weight loss, they can pose risks like gallbladder issues and muscle mass loss. To mitigate these, it’s important to support bile production with supplements like B6, bile salts, and turmeric, and maintain adequate protein intake, especially amino acids and collagen, to prevent muscle breakdown.

Maintaining proper testosterone levels and engaging in full-body workouts are crucial for muscle health and overall balance. Additionally, adjusting your diet by reducing sugar and opting for low-glycemic foods can help sustain fat loss and improve metabolic function. Proper management of these factors ensures a safer, more effective experience with GLP-1 therapy.
