Listen Later

Did you know that huge, rapid weight loss whether from bariatric surgery, weight loss meds or a hybrid of the two can result in a 20-25% loss of muscle mass? Did you catch that? 20-25% loss of muscle mass! Yes, they’re all the rage right now….weight loss medications also known as obesity meds and GLP-1 medications.


As medical professionals, we tend to use the term obesity medications. Why? Because obesity truly is a disease and these meds treat more than just weight with positive effects on diabetes, blood fats, blood pressure, food noise, cravings and more. Studies are finding that the use of these medications, when appropriate, in combination with bariatric surgery can result in even more long term, weight loss success.


But what about this loss of your muscle mass along with the weight? How does the loss of muscle mass affect your success long term and even your health? What do you need to know right now to preserve or increase your muscle mass so you enjoy great success? Bariatric sports dieititian Kim Tirapelle joins me to answer these questions and more. You don’t want to miss this discussion.
