The GLP-1 Revolution Comes to Omaha: What You Need to Know

The transformations are happening everywhere. From Midtown professionals to Elkhorn families, Omaha residents are achieving remarkable weight loss with GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. These medications have redefined weight management — with usage increasing nearly sixfold nationwide over the past five years.

But here’s what many Omaha locals are discovering: losing weight is just the start of your health journey.

The Reality Check: The Hidden Cost of Muscle Loss

Studies reveal that up to 40% of weight lost on GLP-1 medications may come from muscle rather than fat.

Without the right approach, this can slow metabolism and make keeping the weight off much harder.

The Science Behind GLP-1 and Muscle Mass

Recent findings, including those presented at the 2025 European Congress on Obesity, show that while GLP-1 medications are highly effective for fat loss, muscle preservation requires active effort.

With proper strength training, adequate protein intake, and expert guidance, you can protect your muscle tissue and strengthen your metabolism.

For Omaha residents — from runners at Zorinsky Lake to families biking the Keystone Trail — maintaining muscle is crucial for:

    1. Higher muscle mass burns more calories even at rest
    2. Supports long-term weight stability
    3. Prevents metabolic slowdown after medication use
    1. Keeps energy high for daily tasks and recreation
    2. Preserves independence as you age
    3. Supports your active Midwestern lifestyle
    1. Strength training builds bone density
    2. Reduces fracture and osteoporosis risk
    3. Especially vital for women 40+ in the Omaha community
    1. Enhances body composition and confidence
