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.
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.
