She lost 40 pounds in under a year — and came into my office feeling worse than when she started.
Millions of women are using GLP-1 medications like semaglutide, tirzepatide, and Ozempic for weight loss. But few are told about the hidden risk: research shows that up to 25–40% of weight lost on GLP-1s may come from lean muscle mass — not fat.
In this video, I break down what’s really happening to your body, why it matters for long-term health, and the four non-negotiables I use with every GLP-1 patient to protect muscle, metabolism, and longevity.
You’ll learn:
• Why GLP-1s cause muscle loss — and why most prescribers never mention it
• Why muscle is your #1 longevity organ (not just cosmetic)
• The 4 non-negotiables: body composition, protein strategy, resistance training, and peptide support
• Diana’s story: how one patient lost 40 lbs and felt worse — until we fixed the real problem
• The peptides (CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin) that support lean mass preservation
