GLP-1 medications can produce substantial weight loss, but what portion comes from fat, and what portion comes from lean mass?
In this Regen Summit 2026 presentation, Justin Kirkland examines GLP-1 weight loss and muscle mass, including why body composition may matter as much as the number on the scale. He discusses potential long-term questions involving strength, balance, bone health, and sarcopenia while acknowledging the significant metabolic benefits of GLP-1 medications.
The presentation concludes with his proposed research into whether growth hormone secretagogues could influence lean-mass retention during GLP-1 treatment. This concept remains experimental and has not been established as a safe or effective muscle-preservation strategy.
