"Canetas emagrecedoras": por que a musculação precisa fazer parte do tratamento | DrauzioCast

Commonly known as "slimming pens," GLP-1 analog medications, such as semaglutide and tirrizepatide, have transformed the treatment of obesity. However, it is essential that their use be done with medical supervision and strength training, since loss of appetite can lead the body to consume not only fat but also lean mass as an energy source. In this episode of DrauzioCast, Drauzio Varella and Luciana Haddad, triathlete and associate professor at the USP Faculty of Medicine, discuss the conscious use of these medications and highlight the importance of weight training to preserve health, strength, and autonomy during the weight loss process.
