Protein intake, B12, iron, and calcium are the most commonly flagged shortfalls in early clinical follow-up data on GLP-1 users
This is why anyone considering, using or prescribing GLP-1 medication should pair it with: Progressive resistance training (Jensen 2024) High-quality protein at each meal (Phillips & Paddon-Jones 2023) Lower-glycaemic, minimally processed foods (Ludwig & Ebbeling 2022) Adequate sleep and stress management (Walker 2020) These behaviours protect muscle, bone, metabolic rate and long-term health things the medication cannot do on its own
