The 4 rules to protect your muscle, bones and brain health when using Ozempic and other weight loss injections | Dr Federica Amati

Dr Federica Amati, ZOE’s Head Nutritionist, explains how GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro work and why losing weight doesn't automatically equal better health. She details why many users experience side effects and the surprising brain effect that silences food noise. The conversation covers how fibre can stimulate the body’s own GLP-1 production, why ultra-processed foods override fullness signals, and the hidden risk of muscle and bone loss during rapid weight loss. She shares four practical principles to protect lean mass and support long-term health whether on or off these medications.
