Protein and strength training with weight-loss meds for adults 45+
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding protein supplements and resistance training (like lifting weights) can help adults 45+ with overweight or obesity get better results from weight-loss medications such as Wegovy or Mounjaro. It looks at changes in body composition, metabolism, and how well your body uses protein.
