Weight Loss Doesn't Need to Equal Muscle Loss

Have you caught yourself singing Oh Oh Oh Ozempic...... or humming the tune "This is Me" playing in the background of the Wegovy commercial?

There is no denying that these commercials are some of the best in the marketplace today!! So catchy, upbeat and memorable. But did you know that there are some serious side effects and health issues that often accompany these GLP 1 medications?  The most common include:

• Nutrient gaps

• Loss of muscle mass

• Digestive troubles

If you or someone you know (and 1 in 8 Americans are) taking one of these medications, I not only cheer you on in your weight loss journey, I have safe and proven products to help you deal with the those issues.

Nutrient Gaps - Among the most helpful things you can do to compensate for the gap in your nutrient intake when using a GLP 1 medication is to take a great multivitamin. Shaklee's Vita Lea is a fabulous choice and it is available in tabs for men, women, people over 50, metholated, gummy and powdered formulas. Truly a good match for every age and stage

Loss of Muscle Mass - A healthy body composition needs muscle and both aging and calorie restriction often leads to loss of muscle - which in turn leads to a viscous cycle because muscle helps keep our metabolism strong! My favorite Shaklee products to help you maintain and develop your muscle include Life Shake, Physique and Meal Bars. Each of these protein products are powered by Leucine® to help you build lean muscle, burn fat and improve metabolism.

Digestive Troubles - GLP 1 medications are also associated with a disruption in the gut microbiome which can lead to gastro-intestinal challenges such as indigestion, nausea and irregularity. We have several products that can be helpful: Good Gut and Go, Optiflora Probiotics, E-Z Gest, Stomach Soothing Complex, and Herb Lax.

I am very happy to connect to help you choose the products that best fit your particular needs.
