The drastic inhibition of GLP-1 secretion via shutdown of the main pathway is the primary cause of pasireotide-induced hyperglycemia

Whats inside: A blend of clinically studied herbs and bioactives like Cissus quadrangularis (CQR-300), Eriocitrin, Ceylon Cinnamon Extract, and Chromium Picolinate
Protein supplementation combined with resistance training leads to greater preservation of lean mass and strength than training alone. Key point: With adequate protein intake and resistance training, patients can maintainand sometimes increasestrength during GLP-1 therapy despite overall weight loss. Recovery and micronutrients Adequate sleep, hydration, and correction of deficiencies (including vitamin D when present) further support muscle function and recovery. Bottom Line: GLP-1 Medications Improve Body Composition Not Muscle Wasting Semaglutide and tirzepatide do not inherently cause muscle wasting. Most weight lost is fat , and body composition improves. Muscle wasting is primarily a risk of undernutrition , not GLP-1 therapy itself. Protein + resistance training is the most effective strategy to preserve muscle. At Potere Health MD, GLP-1 and GIP therapy is paired with evidence-based nutrition and strength guidance so weight loss is healthier, stronger, and more sustainable
GLP-1 medications do not directly damage the eyes, but may worsen pre-existing diabetic retinopathy in patients who experience rapid blood glucose improvements
