GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound are changing weight loss. But there's an important question we aren't asking often enough:When the scale goes down, what are we actually losing?In Part 1 of this three-part Sumn Tips series, Dr. Rob Sumner explains how GLP-1 medications work, how newer medications like tirzepatide and investigational retatrutide differ, and why protecting muscle during weight loss matters—especially as we age.You'll learn the difference between losing body fat, lean mass, and actual skeletal muscle, and why those distinctions matter for your strength, metabolism, mobility, and long-term independence.This isn't a conversation against weight-loss medications. It's about getting the greatest health benefits from them without unnecessarily sacrificing the muscle you'll need for the rest of your life.The goal isn't simply to become lighter. It's to become healthier, stronger, and more capable.Join Rob for Part 1 of this important conversation about weight loss, muscle preservation, and longevity.
