GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic® and similar drugs have transformed the conversation around weight loss, helping many people achieve significant results. However, one important consideration—especially for older adults—is that weight loss can sometimes include the loss of valuable muscle mass, which plays a critical role in maintaining strength, mobility, balance, and independence.

Join us for this informative one-hour lecture as we explore the evolving relationship between GLP-1 medications and exercise. You'll gain a clear understanding of how these medications work, why strength training and physical activity are essential companions to successful weight loss, and what current research suggests about preserving muscle and optimizing long-term health.

Whether you're taking a GLP-1 medication, considering one, or simply want to better understand this rapidly changing area of health and fitness, you'll leave with practical, evidence-based information to help you make informed decisions.
