My most common question from women starting to microdose a GLP-1: “should I be worried about losing muscle?” or “I know i need to exercise while taking a GLP-1, but what should I do?”

Short answer: “only if your training isn’t keeping up” and “Strength training!”

Why:
The research is pretty consistent that GLP-1s pull weight from both fat and lean tissue, not just fat. Although that’s not a reason to avoid the medication, it’s a reason to train differently while you’re on it. This is the exact gap Dr. Michaela Robbins, DNP, AGNP-BC Dr. Michaela Robbins, DNP, AGNP-BC and I have been working on solving together, and we’re excited to share with you soon.

11 years of being married.

Today I was going through my phone showing the kids pictures of “mommy and dadds family birthday” and realized I hadn't looked at these photos in a while.

Marriage and parenting takes so much work, respect, and effort to work. But like everything else, it's always good to step back and enjoy the small highs.

Our marriage is the best thing I do every day, but our wedding was one of best Best highs of my life.

Love you Kent Breard III!!
