10 Things You Should NEVER Mix with Ozempic or Mounjaro

#Ozempic #Mounjaro #GLP1 #WeightLoss #obesitymedicine Ozempic and Mounjaro are two of the most powerful tools we've ever had for weight loss and metabolic health — but what you combine them with matters. In this video, Dr. Mohammed Paika, MD (board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, hospitalist for nearly 20 years) breaks down 10 medications, substances, and habits that can quietly work against your GLP-1 treatment: SGLT2 inhibitors, metformin, cannabis/THC, artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols, compounded/gray-market GLP-1 products, skipping resistance training, SSRIs, caffeine, diuretics, and stacking multiple GLP-1 medications. You'll learn the actual physiology behind each risk, real warning signs to watch for, and what to do instead — so your treatment stays safer, easier to stick with, and more effective.🎓 Complete GLP-1 Weight Loss Masterclass — Lifetime AccessComprehensive education on GLP-1 medications, nutrition, exercise, muscle preservation, side effects & long-term success.
