GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound are powerful tools for weight loss — but they don’t work the same for everyone.

Some patients lose significant weight… while others plateau, lose slowly, or feel like the medication isn’t working at all.

In this video, Dr. Mohammed Paika (board-certified in Internal Medicine & Obesity Medicine) explains the real medical reasons GLP-1 weight loss can stall — including dosing, metabolic adaptation, muscle loss, nutrition, and underlying health factors.

If your weight loss has slowed or stopped on GLP-1 therapy, this video will help you understand why — and what actually improves results.
