Protein Is the Missing Piece in your GLP1 Journey!

Many GLP-1 users are losing weight—but also struggling with fatigue, muscle loss, and hair shedding. The missing link is often protein.

GLP-1 medications reduce appetite and help people eat less, but when overall food intake drops, protein is usually the first nutrient to disappear. That can lead to loss of lean muscle, slower metabolism, low energy, and unnecessary hair thinning—even when the scale is moving in the right direction.

In this episode of The Downsized, Laraine Durham explains:

• Why protein becomes critical while using GLP-1 medications
• How low protein can cause muscle loss during weight reduction
• The connection between rapid weight loss and hair shedding
• How protein supports blood sugar stability and reduces nausea
• Realistic daily protein targets for GLP-1 users
• Simple, low-appetite protein ideas that fit real life

The focus is not on dieting harder, but on protecting the body during GLP-1 treatment so weight loss leads to better strength, energy, and long-term health.
