Episode Details

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound are powerful tools for weight loss — but many patients don’t realize they can also lose muscle if nutrition and training aren’t optimized.

In this video, Dr. Mohammed Paika (board-certified in Internal Medicine & Obesity Medicine) explains how to lose fat while protecting metabolism, strength, and long-term results.

You’ll learn the most common causes of muscle loss on GLP-1s, ideal protein targets, and why strength training is the key signal your body needs during weight loss.

If you want sustainable fat loss — not just weight loss — this is critical.
