The Real Cost of GLP-1 Weight Loss Nobody Warns You About

#GLP1 #Ozempic #WeightLoss #Semaglutide #Tirzepatide #Retatrutide

If you're starting a GLP-1 medication, there are a few things you probably didn't hear from your doctor.

These drugs can lead to incredible fat loss and preserved muscle, or hair loss, wrecked metabolism, and skinny-fat outcomes.

In this video, I break down exactly how these medications work, why 25 to 40 percent of weight loss can be muscle if you're not careful, and what you need to do to protect yourself.

You'll learn about:

• How your metabolism actually works (and why both "just eat less" and "heal your metabolism" are wrong)
• Why obesity is typically an under-muscled problem, not an over-fat problem
• The science behind muscle as your body's glucose sink and why it matters for insulin resistance
• How semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide work differently on your metabolism
• Why these drugs make nutrition MORE important, not less
• The cascade of problems from protein deficiency: muscle loss, metabolic slowdown, hormone disruption, brain fog, hair loss
• Why the peptide community's approach is the same pharmaceutical treadmill they claim to hate
• Recovery markers to track before problems become visible
• The exact protocol: protein targets, training frequency, and sleep priorities
