๐ซ Heart Month is a reminder that maintaining a healthy weight can play an important role in reducing the risk of heart disease.
With so many options available today, itโs natural to have questions.
โ Do GLP-1 medications cause muscle loss?
โ Can weight return after stopping medication?
GLP-1s can be effective for weight loss, but like any treatment, they work better as part of a whole plan. Without nutrition, strength support and long-term guidance, some muscle loss can occur โ and weight regain could happen without those things.
For anyone seeking long-term solutions, surgical weight loss may also be an option. Bariatric surgery has shown to support significant, long-term weight loss and can improve heart-related conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Type 2 diabetes.
Via Christi Weight Management provides personal plans that may include medical weight loss, lifestyle support or surgical options.
This Heart Month, start a conversation about safe, effective options for real, lasting change.
