At WHOOP, we’ve conducted groundbreaking research using wearable technology to explore how GLP-1 therapies influence overall health and fitness beyond weight loss. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 medications have gained recognition for their transformative effects on weight management. About one in eight adults (12%) say they have used a GLP-1 . However, these therapies have complex effects on heart health, like causing an increase in resting heart rate (RHR). Our findings reveal that incorporating physical activity, as recommended by the FDA, can play a vital role in reducing the risk of increase in RHR associated with these therapies, highlighting the importance of an active lifestyle for long-term health outcomes. This research was published in the American Journal of Physiology - Heart and Circulatory Physiology. WHOOP provides the insights and support you need to make meaningful changes, whether you are focused on weight management, fitness, or overall health. By i
