Gary Brecka(@thegarybrecka):GLP-1s were never meant to replace the fundamentals. These medications can be an incredibly powerful tool, but taking a GLP-1 without changing how you train, eat, and support your body is missing a huge part of the equation. A recent study found a concerning amount of GLP-1 use happening without medical supervision, with self-medication more common among people who weren’t attending physical training centers. Protecting your muscle has to be part of the conversation. Prioritize protein. Strength train consistently. And work with a qualified medical professional. Losing weight while becoming stronger and healthier is the real goal here.
