GLP-1 Muscle Loss: How to Protect Your Muscle on Ozempic, Wegovy & Zepbound (Especially After 60)

Are GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound causing muscle loss? This is one of the biggest concerns I hear from people considering these medications—especially adults over 60. In this video, we’ll look at what the research actually shows about GLP-1 medications, weight loss, and muscle preservation. I’ll share what experts recommend, along with practical strategies that may help support muscle while losing weight. We’ll talk about: ✅ Why muscle loss can happen during any type of weight loss ✅ Why preserving muscle becomes especially important as we age ✅ The role of protein while taking a GLP-1 medication ✅ Why strength training matters (even if you’re starting from scratch) ✅ How to focus on more than just the number on the scale ✅ Common mistakes that can make muscle preservation more difficult As always, I’m sharing this from my perspective as a GLP-1 patient who follows the research—not as medical advice. Everyone’s health situation is different, so talk with your healthcare provider about what approach is right for you. Whether you’re taking Zepbound, Wegovy, Ozempic, or considering starting a GLP-1 medication, my goal is to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident throughout your journey.    • How I Hit My Protein Goals on Zepbound (Ea...      • How I Stay Hydrated on GLP-1s | Hydration ...   Resources: Taking GLP-1s?
