#Ozempic #Mounjaro #Semaglutide #Tirzepatide #GLP1 #WeightLoss #ObesityMedicine If you're on tirzepatide or semaglutide and the scale isn't moving the way you expected, this video is for you. I'm Dr. Mohammed Paika, board-certified in internal medicine and obesity medicine — I've been dealing with these medications in the hospital since they first came out, and I've managed my own weight through diet and training alone for over a decade. In this video I break down what tirzepatide and semaglutide actually are, why they were invented, how they work in your body, the exact dosing timeline, why the shot is only once a week, what you have to do around the medication for it to actually work, and what happens once you hit your goal weight. Most important is what to do besides taking the medication which is what my GLP-1 Masterclass is designed to teach you. 🎓 Complete GLP-1 Weight Loss Masterclass — Lifetime AccessComprehensive education on GLP-1 medications, nutrition, exercise, muscle preservation, side effects & long-term success.
