GLP-1 and Muscle Loss: What You Need to Know – and How NicholsMD Can Help

GLP-1 medications have transformed the landscape of health and weight management, helping many achieve long-awaited goals. But as body composition shifts, one common and often overlooked side effect can emerge: muscle loss.

While these medications promote fat reduction, they can also decrease lean muscle mass – which plays a crucial role in metabolism, strength, and overall skin tightness. At NicholsMD, we take a science-backed and personalized approach to help you stay strong, sculpted, and supported throughout your GLP-1 journey.

Rebuild Strength with EmSculpt®

Our EmSculpt® technology uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to trigger powerful muscle contractions that you simply can’t achieve through exercise alone. In a single session, your body performs the equivalent of 20,000 crunches or squats, helping to rebuild and tone muscle in key areas like the abdomen, glutes, and arms.

Restore Balance with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Hormonal shifts, especially during perimenopause and menopause, can contribute to fatigue, slower recovery, and loss of muscle tone. Through customized, bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, our expert team helps restore your body’s optimal balance – supporting energy, metabolism, and lean muscle maintenance from within.

Track Progress with SECA Body Analysis

At NicholsMD, we don’t just treat – we track. Using advanced SECA body composition technology, we measure lean muscle mass, body fat, and water balance to ensure your results are not only visible but measurable.

Whether you started GLP-1 therapy elsewhere or are exploring it with us, our team provides a comprehensive, concierge-level plan to help you look and feel your strongest – inside and out.
