37: Ozempic - Weight loss from fat vs lean mass?

Ashley Burton Season 1 Episode 37

In this episode, I dive into a research article that was quoted in a popular podcast and get to the bottom of their quote: "40% of weight loss on Ozempic is from lean tissue". I discuss the papers limitations, the studies they included and the different between lean mass and fat mass, as well as the different types of fat in the body. 

A huge emphasis a put how to maintain skeletal muscle and why this is important!
