Bone Health During Weight Loss
Weight loss can reduce bone density if not managed properly. Ensure adequate calcium (1200mg) and vitamin D (2000-4000 IU). Resistance training stimulates bone formation. DEXA scans monitor bone density. SeraVia Bone+ Defense provides targeted bone nutrients. Consider lower GLP-1 doses for slower weight loss. Weight-bearing exercise is essential.
Monitoring
Baseline DEXA before starting GLP-1s if over 50. Repeat DEXA after 12-18 months of treatment. Continue osteoporosis medications if prescribed. Work with endocrinologist for complex cases.
