Why GLP-1 Medications Cause Extreme Fatigue (And How to Fix Low Energy)

Are you exhausted on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound? You’re not imagining it. Fatigue is listed in the prescribing information, and it’s one of the most common complaints I see in the comments.

In this video, I’m Dr. Mohammed Paika, an internal medicine and obesity medicine physician. I break down the 4 biological reasons GLP-1 medications can leave you drained: unintentional undereating, quiet dehydration, the drug’s effects on the brain, and nutrient deficiencies like low iron and B12. Then I walk you through 4 practical fixes: a calorie and protein floor, a hydration plan that goes beyond plain water, the blood work to ask your doctor for, and how to talk to your prescriber about dose and titration. I finish with the warning signs that mean you need to be seen right away.
