227. GLP Q&A: Can You Lose Fat and Keep Muscle on GLP agonists?


Listen Later

Most people using GLP agonists are doing it wrong. Semaglutide? Tirzepatide? They're not magic pills, they're misunderstood tools. In this episode, I answer your most common questions and break down what these drugs actually do inside the body.

We get into the real science: how GLPs suppress appetite, slow digestion, improve insulin sensitivity, and change energy balance. I explain the difference between GLP‑1, dual agonists like tirzepatide (GLP + GIP), and next-gen options like retatrutide (GLP + GIP + glucagon).

You'll learn why fat loss happens, why muscle loss is a major risk, and how to train, eat, and supplement so you stay jacked, not soft. We cover the rebound effect when you stop, what stacks are worth considering, and how to avoid wrecking your gut or your gains in the process.

If you're serious about fat loss, muscle retention, and metabolic health, this is mandatory listening. These compounds can change your trajectory. Or wreck it. The difference is your discipline.
