ACE Chief Urges Older GLP-1 Users to Protect Muscle and Mobility
TL;DR Summary
ACE CEO Cedric X. Bryant says older adults using GLP-1 weight-loss meds should prioritize preserving strength, physical function and lean mass through regular resistance training (2-3 days/week; six-to-ten exercises; 1-3 sets; 8-15 reps) and adequate protein (roughly 1.2-1.6 g/kg/day), with targets tailored by age and health; programming should be individualized and safety-conscious, especially for those in their 70s and beyond.
