GLP-1 medications like Ozempic are popular for weight loss, but they can cause some unexpected issues. While they help people lose weight, many end up with extra skin, especially around their face, arms, and stomach. Doctors are seeing more patients needing surgery to remove this skin.

Another problem is muscle loss. In this episode, we’ll share tips on how to keep muscles strong, like eating enough protein, doing strength exercises, and balancing hormones to get the best results from GLP-1s.

These medications are getting harder to afford, but some options are still available at lower prices.

We’ll also talk about newer meds like retatrutide that could work even better. But remember, GLP-1s work best when combined with healthy habits like good sleep and nutrition.
