Are GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Semaglutide actually fixing your metabolism… or quietly breaking it?

In this episode of The Generational Health Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Caroline Tade—Chief Clinical Officer at Heva Health—to break down the truth about GLP-1s, rapid weight loss, and the next evolution in metabolic medicine.

While GLP-1 medications have helped millions lose weight, there’s a side most people aren’t talking about:

muscle loss, metabolic slowdown, and what happens when you stop.

We dive into:

• The real mechanism behind GLP-1 medications (Semaglutide & Tirzepatide)

• Why rapid weight loss can damage your metabolism

• The hidden risk of muscle loss (and why it matters long-term)

• How poor dosing and nutrition can backfire

• The rise of “gray market” peptides and safety concerns

• The next generation: Retatrutide and metabolic optimization

Dr. Tade also explains how to use GLP-1s the right way—so you lose fat, preserve muscle, and actually improve your long-term health.
