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

Peri and post menopause are already hard on muscle and bone. Fast weight loss on any plan can cost muscle if protein and weight training are ignored, and midlife is a bad time to treat that as optional. That is how to design care alongside a prescribed GLP-1. It is not a reason to avoid a prescribed medicine when it is needed, and not a green light for unapproved research stacks. The diet page at /diet/glp-1-muscle is where this site reports what the scans measured.
