Why GLP-1 Users Need to Protect Muscle: Mitochondria, Strength & Longevity w/Jennifer Scheinman, MS RD

GLP-1 medications can be life-changing, but rapid weight loss can also mean losing muscle if you are not actively protecting it. In this episode, Ana Reisdorf sits down with registered dietitian Jennifer Scheinman to talk about why muscle strength matters just as much as muscle mass, how mitochondria influence energy, mobility, and healthy aging, and what GLP-1 users can do right now to support muscle with a balanced diet, enough protein, exercise, and smart supplementation. They also break down the emerging research on urolithin A, including how it may support mitochondrial recycling and muscle strength, why that matters for fatigue and long-term function, and where it may fit into a practical GLP-1 lifestyle.
