Muscle, Nutrition & What to Know for Long-Term Health
GLP-1 medications can affect more than just appetite and weight. Understanding their broader impact on metabolic health, muscle, nutrition, and physical performance is an important part of the conversation.
Join Melissa O’Meara, MD, of Vail Health Concierge Medicine; Josiah Middaugh, Vail Healthspan Program Director; and Christine Pierangeli, Vail Healthspan Nutritionist, for an informative evidence-based discussion on the effects of GLP-1 medications, potential trade-offs, and what to consider when it comes to nutrition, strength, and overall health. Whether you’re taking a GLP-1 or considering one, learn more about the potential challenges and practical strategies to help you make informed decisions about your health.
What we’ll explore:
Beyond the intended effects: What GLP-1 medications can mean for the body beyond appetite and weight, and what to understand about their broader effects.
The muscle, metabolism & performance connection: Less obvious changes that can affect strength, energy, recovery, and overall physical health.
When eating less changes more than your appetite: The nutritional challenges that can emerge when hunger, fullness, and food intake shift.
Connecting the medical, nutrition & fitness perspectives: What to consider when navigating medication, fueling, exercise, and individual health needs.
Before, during & after treatment: Important considerations for those exploring GLP-1s, currently taking them, or preparing to discontinue use.
