Ozempic and Mounjaro Warning! What They’re Not Telling You!
#Ozempic #Mounjaro #GLP1 #WeightLoss #ObesityMedicine
Ozempic and Mounjaro can be powerful weight-loss tools — but they can also affect your body in ways many people aren't told before starting. In this video, I break down the real risks, the paradox in the trial data, and what to actually watch for.
In this video I walk through why people with type 2 diabetes tend to lose less weight on these medications than people without it, why a meaningful share of the weight lost on GLP-1s can be muscle rather than fat, what the data actually shows about gastroparesis and other GI complications, what happens metabolically when you stop the medication, how bariatric surgery compares, and exactly what to do to protect your muscle and your health if you're on one of these drugs.
