There has been a growing interest in understanding how lifestyle factors can optimally underpin and support pharmaceutical approaches to obesity management. For some people, rapid weight loss can impact lean muscle mass, potentially affecting metabolic health and longer-term outcomes.
This practical module explores the evidence for structured exercise as a key strategy to preserve muscle during chronic weight management, particularly with GLP-1 receptor agonists. GPs will learn how to integrate strength training into routine consultations to support and enhance sustainable weight loss that maintains functional capacity and metabolic health.
