just pointing out that Ozempic and Wegovy are brand names for the same drug, semaglutide. Ozempic has been used for years (more than a decade) for T2 diabetes as per dosage. Wegovy is the dosage for treatment of obesity. There are a other new gen weight loss meds...e.g. Zepbound(tirzepatide-Mounjaro is version for T2). Resistance training, exercise and referral to dietitians would be helpful for folks on the obesity meds.
This makes total sense to me, that resistance training and exercise can help mitigate any muscle loss somewhat. It is hard to get some people started in the gym though, especially when they have self esteem issues from weight.
