The Truth About Weight Loss Medications and Muscle Loss

This video addresses common concerns about muscle loss associated with injectable weight loss medications like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), and Manjaro. The expert explains that these medications do not directly cause muscle loss. Instead, muscle loss is due to insufficient intake of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, combined with a lack of regular exercise. The reduction in food consumption and physical inactivity over time can lead to muscle atrophy, similar to the muscle loss experienced by astronauts in space. The key to preserving muscle while on these medications is proper nutrition and consistent physical activity. #WeightLoss #MusclePreservation #HealthTips #DidYouKnow #HealthScience #tubbydoc
