Not losing weight on a GLP-1? The problem usually isn't you, and it usually isn't the medication either. It's the variables nobody checked.

I'm Dr. Mohammed Paika, a physician board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine. I've spent about 15 years as a hospitalist, and I'm also a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach. In this video, I walk you through 8 evidence-based reasons the scale can stall on semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), plus a bonus. They range from diabetes and insulin resistance to medications that quietly cause weight gain, eating too little, muscle loss, sleep apnea and dose problems. At the end, I share my 4-question test to tell whether your GLP-1 is working, stalling or needs to be changed.
