GLP-1s Done Right: How Microdosing Can Reduce Inflammation Without Sacrificing Muscle
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are game-changers for weight loss and blood sugar control — but did you know that how you dose them can make a big difference in your results?
💉 Why Microdosing Matters
Instead of rushing to the highest dose, microdosing GLP-1s allows your body to adjust gradually. This approach can:
✅ Reduce inflammation — which plays a big role in insulin resistance, joint pain, and hormone imbalance
✅ Minimize side effects like nausea, constipation, and fatigue✅ Protect your lean muscle — which is crucial for metabolism, strength, and long-term fat loss
🔍 Muscle Matters
Rapid weight loss from GLP-1s can lead to muscle loss if not managed properly. By slowing the pace and pairing microdoses with:
Adequate protein
Strength training
Targeted supplements
…you can preserve your muscle and still lose fat efficiently.
🧬 Inflammation, Meet Your Match
GLP-1s naturally help lower CRP and other inflammatory markers, but starting low and going slow gives your body the best chance to heal and rebalance — especially for those with PCOS, metabolic syndrome, or thyroid issues.
💡 The Bottom Line
GLP-1s aren’t a race. With the right dosing strategy, you can feel better, move better, and lose weight while keeping your strength.
