Congrats Dr.NutriCornell!! You should be so proud of yourself. 🎉

Clinical perspective on Pilates for core strength during GLP-1:

I have managed roughly 300 patients on GLP-1 therapy and this topic comes up frequently. What the data shows — and what I see in practice — is that the medication works best as part of a comprehensive approach.

For this specific question, I would recommend: getting comprehensive baseline labs first.

Same experience here with Pilates for core strength. Dr.NutriCornell described it perfectly.

Reading this thread on Pilates for core strength hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 291 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

7 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 66 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Pilates for core — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

This is exactly right. Dr.ObesityMed articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The Pilates for core strength aspect is what made the difference for me.
