Where to Inject for MAXIMUM GLP-1 Weight Loss | What the Data Shows

#GLP1 #Ozempic #Zepbound #WeightLossJourney #ObesityMedicineInjecting your GLP-1 in the same spot every week and wondering if another site would work better? I break down the actual Eli Lilly pharmacokinetic study comparing abdomen, thigh, and upper arm injections for tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) — what the data really shows about absorption, side effects, and appetite suppression, and where the study's small sample size means the "abdomen wins" headline deserves a second look. By the end, you'll know exactly how much injection site affects your results — and where to actually focus if you want long-term success on GLP-1 therapy.

Creatine After 50…? A Doctor Explains

#CreatineAfter50 #GLP1 #HealthyAging #MuscleHealth #SarcopeniaIs creatine actually worth it after 50 — or is it just hype? In this video, Dr. Mohammed Paika (board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine) breaks down what 680+ clinical trials say about creatine for muscle, brain, and heart health after 50 — plus the one thing almost nobody tells you if you're losing weight quickly, especially on a GLP-1 medication like semaglutide or tirzepatide.You'll learn: the real history of creatine, how it works in your cells, why muscle loss (sarcopenia) accelerates after 40, the safety facts worth knowing (including the kidney-lab myth), why losing weight fast can mean losing muscle, and simple, no-nonsense dosing.If you're losing weight and want to make sure it's fat you're losing, not muscle, check out my GLP-1 Masterclass at drmohammedpaika.com — link below.
