Why does muscle loss on a GLP-1 matter more after menopause?

Peri and post menopause already challenge muscle and bone. Rapid weight loss on any plan can cost lean tissue if protein and resistance training are ignored, and midlife is a poor time to treat that as optional. That is care design next to a labeled GLP-1, not a reason to avoid a prescribed medication when it is indicated, and not a green light for unapproved research stacks.
