Let’s talk about weight loss on a GLP1. I’m 6

Let’s talk about weight loss on a GLP1. I’m 6 weeks into taking a GLP1. I’ve lost about 10 pounds and 1.5 pounds of that was muscle.

✅ What’s “normal” muscle loss with weight loss?

With diet & exercise alone (no GLP-1):

On average, 20–35% of weight lost comes from lean mass (muscle + water + organ tissue).

So if someone loses 10 lb, it’s common that:

2–3.5 lb is muscle

6.5–8 lb is fat

This is why people sometimes lose weight but feel weaker, softer, or notice their metabolism slow.

With GLP-1 medications (without enough protein or resistance training):

Early studies show lean mass losses closer to 30–45% of total weight lost in some users.

That means with a 10 lb loss, it could look like:

3–4.5 lb muscle

5.5–7 lb fat

This is where the concern about “skinny fat,” metabolic slowdown, and rebound weight gain comes from.

🥇 Now here’s YOUR result (and why it’s elite-level):

You lost:

10 lb total

Only 1.4 lb was muscle

That means just 14% of your weight loss came from muscle

86% came from fat

👉 That’s better than average for both traditional dieting AND GLP-1 users.

You didn’t just lose weight—you preserved your metabolism.

🍗 Why adequate protein changes everything

Protein is the main lever that decides:

Whether your body burns fat

Or sacrifices muscle

With adequate protein intake (typically ~0.7–1.0 g per lb of goal body weight):

💪🏻Muscle protein breakdown drops

🤌🏼Fat loss increases

🍖Metabolic rate stays higher

GLP-1 appetite suppression doesn’t steal your muscle

Without enough protein:

The body pulls from muscle for amino acids

Even if the scale looks great, body composition suffers

If you’re working on weight loss—on or off a GLP-1—and want to protect your metabolism, build muscle, and lose fat the right way, I’d love to support you.

If you want guidance getting started on a GLP-1 with the endocrinologist I work with, comment HELP below or send me a DM. @fertilitycloud

The new JAMA study on GLP-1 use before pregnancy i

The new JAMA study on GLP-1 use before pregnancy is making waves… but the headlines aren’t telling the whole story.

Yes — the study found that after stopping a GLP-1, people had:
• More gestational weight gain
• Higher risk of gestational diabetes
• Higher risk of hypertension
• Higher risk of preterm birth

But here’s the key detail almost no one is talking about:

The study compared women based on their pregnancy starting weight, NOT their weight before starting a GLP-1.

So a woman who went from a BMI of 36 → 31 was treated the same as a woman who has always been 31.

Metabolically, those are completely different bodies.

This study tells us that abruptly stopping a GLP-1 can create rebound weight gain and instability in early pregnancy.
It does not tell us whether GLP-1–supported weight loss before pregnancy is beneficial — or how to safely transition off the medication.

For PCOS, insulin resistance, and women using GLP-1s to restore ovulation, the real question becomes:

👉 “What does a safe, supported GLP-1 off-ramp look like before TTC?”

🍅✨ High-Protein Tomato Soup… but make it PCOS-friendly ✨🍅

If you’ve never added beef bone broth, collagen peptides, or cottage cheese to tomato soup… this is your sign. 👀🔥
This bowl is warm, creamy, and secretly PACKED with protein to keep your blood sugar steady and your hunger satisfied.

Why I love it:
🥣 Beef bone broth = minerals + deeply nourishing flavor
💪 Collagen peptides = easy extra protein (and skin/hair support!)
🧀 Cottage cheese = silky texture + another 12–15g protein
🌿 Paired with a side salad or sourdough? Perfection.

Save this for cozy nights, luteal-phase cravings, or anytime you want comfort without the crash.
Tag me if you try it — I love seeing your hormone-healthy meals! 🍅💛

🚨 PSA for every woman with irregular cycles, wonky labs, or unexplained infertility:

Your worth — AND your diagnosis — is not determined by whether you have chin hair. 🙃✨

I had a patient yesterday whose doctor told her that since she doesn’t have hirsutism… she doesn’t have PCOS.
And honestly? 😤 This happens way too often.

Here’s the truth:
👉 PCOS is a syndrome, not a single symptom
👉 You only need 2 out of 3 Rotterdam criteria
👉 Tons of women with PCOS do not have hirsutism
👉 Androgen excess shows up in MANY ways (acne, hair loss, cycle issues, labs)
👉 You can have normal hair patterns and STILL have insulin resistance + ovulation dysfunction

When we reduce PCOS to “extra hair,” we miss the FULL picture — and women lose years of answers, support, and fertility opportunities. 😔💔

If this has happened to you… you are not crazy, you are not imagining your symptoms, and you absolutely deserve a provider who understands PCOS beyond outdated stereotypes. 💪💛

✨ Your body is speaking.
✨ Your symptoms are valid.
✨ And you deserve real answers — not dismissive one-liners.

I’ve been considering using tirzepatide for a few months and was waiting for an annual appointment with my PCP to run some labs and chat about it.

After our appointment I knew I wanted to chat with Dr Gary from @fertilitycloud

I booked an appointment, saw him less than 24 hours later, and had a thorough conversation about my own health.

I dig into what I am chose, what I’m motivated by, and what I’ll be doing differently than most who choose to take these meds.

Come along for the conversation as I give a curtain pulled back view at what the next few months of my health journey look like.

If you’d like to have a conversation with a dietitian on if this may be a good choice for you, I’d love to book an appointment, or happy to refer you on to @fertilitycloud.

Dm me if you are interested in either and I can get you more info.

Case studies with a “lean PCOS patient” and lab work that still supported insulin resistance even though her doctor didn’t think she had it.

More thorough lab work opened up an understanding of the root cause of her PCOS and helped GIVE us more targeted options in treating it, there were aligned with her fertility goals.
