Welcome to Muscle Matters Month here at Evolt Health—a time to shift the conversation from weight loss alone to what truly drives long-term health: muscle mass. 

In today’s health landscape, many people are chasing a number on the scale. But that number tells only part of the story. Whether you’re on a fat loss journey, using GLP-1s, or trying to improve metabolic health, your muscle mass is your most valuable asset. 

Why Muscle Matters 

Skeletal muscle isn’t just about aesthetics or strength. It plays a critical role in: 

  • Metabolic health 
  • Blood sugar regulation 
  • Hormonal balance 
  • Mobility and injury prevention 
  • Longevity and aging well 

And yet, muscle is often the first thing people lose during rapid weight loss or calorie restriction—especially without resistance training or proper protein intake. 

The Data Doesn’t Lie 

Through the Evolt 360 Body Composition Analyzer, we’ve seen firsthand how muscle changes everything. People who prioritize lean muscle: 

  • Burn more fat, even at rest 
  • Bounce back faster from injuries 
  • Have lower risk of chronic disease 
  • Age with greater strength, energy, and confidence 

Our platform tracks key muscle metrics like Skeletal Muscle Mass, Segmental Analysis, and Protein levels—so you can see exactly how your training, diet, and supplements are working. 

GLP-1s and Muscle Loss: A Warning Sign 

GLP-1 medications have helped many lose weight—but often at the cost of significant muscle loss. That’s a problem. Because when you lose muscle, you lose the very thing that keeps your metabolism healthy. 

That’s why we urge clinics, gyms, and individuals using GLP-1s to monitor body composition, not just body weight. 

How We’re Leading the Movement 

All month long, Evolt Health is highlighting the importance of muscle across: 

  • Educational content on our blog and socials 
  • Success stories from our global community 
  • Expert interviews on The Healthy Returns Podcast 
  • Campaigns supporting GLP-1 users, fitness clients, and health professionals 

It’s Time to Rethink Your Goals 

Instead of asking, “How much weight have I lost?”
Let’s start asking, “How much muscle have I gained—and kept?”

Join the movement. Book a scan. Build strength. Reclaim your health.

Because muscle matters. Now more than ever.
