📌 ON OZEMPIC OR WEGOVY AFTER 50? WATCH THIS ABOUT MUSCLE LOSS
GLP-1 receptor agonists (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) can produce significant weight loss. But analyses of clinical trial data suggest that between 25 and 40 percent of total weight lost may come from lean body mass including muscle. After 50, when sarcopenia is already a concern, this matters. This video explains the muscle-loss risk in plain terms, gives you a short home-based strength routine to address it, covers what to eat when your appetite is reduced, and tells you exactly what to ask your prescriber. The prospective research on structured programs specifically for GLP-1 users is still limited we say this on screen and link to an active clinical trial.
