In this eye-opening episode of The Scalpel’s Edge, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Tim Sayed pulls back the curtain on the dark side of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and semaglutide. While these medications are hailed for their dramatic weight loss results, Dr. Sayed explores the less-discussed truth—up to 40% of that weight loss may actually be muscle mass. He dives into the science behind this phenomenon, the rising role of peptides like ipamorelin, and biotech innovations like myostatin inhibitors aimed at preserving strength while shedding fat.

But this conversation isn’t just clinical—it’s personal. Dr. Sayed shares how journaling, digital scales, and patient-doctor goal alignment can reignite motivation during a weight loss journey. From cutting-edge research in Korea to the controversial use of performance-enhancing peptides, this episode is a compelling look at how we can lose the fat without sacrificing our bodies. If you or someone you know is on or considering GLP-1 medications, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.
