Muscle is strength, metabolism, and independence. Protect it.
Noom just launched a microdosing GLP-1 plan using semaglutide.
The goal is a more gradual fat loss with fewer side effects. It also opens up the chance to retain more muscle. Here’s what it means and why it matters 🧵
The details to know:
• Medication comes from compounding pharmacies
• Legal under certain conditions but watched by the FDA and drugmakers
• Long-term results are still unknown
Tools like WHOOP’s Blood-Pressure Insights might not be FDA-cleared yet, but they offer the regular person a new window into optimizing blood flow, training smarter, and preserving muscle for the long term.
In one corner: WHOOP, the Bostonian wearable fitness tracker. In the other: the FDA, the heavyweight champion of U.S. health regulation. The prize? Who gets to decide how (and whether) you see your blood pressure (BP) every morning.
Why you should care: Blood pressure influences muscle health. Chronically high BP stiffens arteries, choking off the delivery of amino acids and oxygen your muscles need to grow, recover, and perform. As you age, unmanaged high BP can double the rate of muscle loss after 50.
When and how you get your protein matters more than you think. Protein timing can boost muscle growth, accelerate recovery, curb hunger, and even enhance skin and joint health.
Timing your protein maximizes muscle growth and recovery. An ideal protein consumption schedule for maximum growth would incorporate whey after your workout, medium proteins for your main meals, and slow proteins before you go to sleep.
