Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism

02/20/2026

I’m Dr. Anjanette Tan — board-certified endocrinologist with training in internal medicine and endocrinology, clinician for over two decades, and clinical researcher.⁣⁣
⁣
I created this space to help bring clarity to hormone health, in a world where patients are often left sorting through confusing or misleading information.⁣⁣
⁣
Here, I explain endocrinology the way I do in clinic — thoughtfully, clearly, and with context.⁣⁣
⁣
👍🏻 Follow me for clarity and not noise.⁣⁣

When fatigue shows up on GLP-1 therapy, I don’t assume one cause.⁣⁣
This is the framework I use clinically to guide evaluation.⁣⁣

📍Save this and discuss persistent symptoms with your healthcare professional. ⁣⁣↗️

If you’re on a GLP-1 and feel more tired than expected, your symptoms are real — and they deserve evaluation.⁣
⁣
Fatigue during weight loss is often multifactorial and frequently related to insufficient intake rather than medication toxicity.⁣
⁣
Thoughtful care looks beyond one cause.⁣
⁣
Save this if fatigue has been persistent.📌⁣

Hair loss reported during GLP-1 therapy is most commonly explained by telogen effluvium, a delayed response to rapid weight loss and undernutrition.

‌

Two key contributors I assess clinically:

👉🏻Low protein intake, affecting follicle cell proliferation
👉🏻Micronutrient deficiencies (iron, B12, vitamin D, zinc), which impair follicle metabolism

‌

Shedding typically begins weeks to months after the nutritional insult and may improve once intake is corrected.

‌

Symptoms deserve evaluation — not assumptions.

Patients often ask:⁣
“How much protein should I eat?”⁣
“How much water is enough?”⁣
“Do I need supplements?”⁣
⁣
This summary is based on the 2025 joint expert advisory and reflects practical, patient-friendly targets to support muscle, digestion, and overall health during GLP-1 therapy.⁣

GLP-1s don’t inherently cause muscle loss.⁣
Context, nutrition, training, and age determine outcomes.⁣

🎁Share this to correct a common misconception.⁣

Weight loss is not the same as fat loss.⁣
⁣
Studies show that a significant portion of weight lost on GLP-1 therapy can come from lean muscle — unless we actively protect it.⁣
⁣
Protein intake, resistance training, and thoughtful dose escalation all matter when the goal is long-term health.⁣

💪🏼Protein supports muscle — but resistance training sends the signal.⁣

On GLP-1 therapy, both are essential.⁣

GLP-1 medications work best with balance — not extremes.⁣
⁣
The 2025 expert advisory highlights that nutrient-dense, sustainable eating patterns support long-term success, while very restrictive approaches may increase the risk of muscle loss, hypoglycemia, or nutrient deficiencies.⁣
⁣
The goal isn’t perfection.⁣
It’s sustainability.

Share this with someone who is deciding on GLP-1 therapy.

GLP-1 therapy changes physiology — not nutritional needs.⁣
Eating well on it requires structure, intention, and muscle preservation.⁣
⁣
This is how I think about GLP-1 therapy in clinic.⁣
⁣
Save this if long-term outcomes matter to you.

01/18/2026

Many patients already start GLP-1 therapy with nutrient deficiencies — and eating less can make those gaps wider.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Vitamin D, iron, B12, calcium, magnesium, and other micronutrients play critical roles in energy, muscle, bone, and neurologic health.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Monitoring and prevention matter.⁣⁣
Deficiencies are easier to prevent than to treat.⁣⁣

GLP-1 medications don’t damage metabolism.⁣
Problems arise when rapid weight loss, muscle loss, or under-nutrition aren’t addressed.⁣
The goal is long-term metabolic health — not the lowest number on the scale.⁣
