The New Era of Weight Loss

Roughly 1 in 7 American adults has now used a GLP-1 for weight loss. The medications work to turn down appetite, quiet the constant food noise, and help people eat less without the white-knuckle effort most weight-loss attempts demand. For millions, that has been life-changing. But when you lose weight fast without training, a big share of what leaves your body isn’t body fat, and it’s one of the strongest predictors we have of how long and how well you live.
