Loss of muscle mass or sarcopenia occurs with both aging and rapid weight loss with the use of GLP-1 medications or other weight loss methods. Sarcopenia is a decrease in the actual number of muscle fibers which can lead to weakness, a decrease in basal metabolic rate and difficulties with gaining strength. In this episode, Brian and Nora discuss strategies for minimizing sarcopenia through regular exercise and patience. There is no magic bullet here but staying consistent and continuing to progress a client’s exercise program is key to combating this challenging side effect!
