Do GLP-1 medications raise muscle-loss risk in peri or post menopause?

Rapid weight loss on any plan can cost muscle if protein and resistance training are ignored. Peri and post menopause already challenge muscle and bone. If a clinician prescribes a GLP-1, a muscle-preserving plan (protein targets, lifting, and follow-up) belongs in the same conversation. That is care design, not a reason to avoid a labeled medication when it is indicated, and not a green light for unapproved research stacks.
