Sleep deprivation increases ghrelin (the hunger hormone), reduces leptin (the satiety hormone), increases insulin resistance, and promotes cortisol-driven visceral fat storage
2 While impressive, this weight loss often includes muscle loss, which can compromise metabolic health if not managed with resistance training and proper protein intake
That way, if complications arise, they can be detected and treated early. For patients considering GLP 1 therapy, the takeaway is simple, these medications can be valuable tools for weight management, but they should always be used as part of a medically supervised plan that prioritizes safety as well as results.
