254.GLP-1 Drugs Explained: The Truth About Ozempic, Weight Loss, and Muscle Loss – With Dr. Johnny Bowden

Show Notes

GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are being called a miracle for obesity—but what’s really happening inside the body?

In this episode of The Whole Body Detox Show, host David DeHaas of Living Waters Wellness Center sits down with renowned nutrition expert Jonny Bowden, PhD, known as The Nutrition Myth Buster, to unpack the science, the benefits, and the hidden risks behind GLP-1 medications.

Together, they break down what GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) really is, why these drugs shut down cravings so effectively, and how they’ve become so powerful that they’ve altered the economy of Denmark.

More importantly, they reveal the physiological consequences most people aren’t warned about—especially the reality that up to 40% of the weight lost on GLP-1 drugs may be muscle, not fat.

This conversation explores how GLP-1 drugs impact insulin resistance, metabolism, liver health, nutrient depletion, brain fog, and long-term weight regain, and why losing weight without healing the gut, detoxifying the body, and restoring metabolic balance can leave people weaker, inflamed, and frustrated—even at a lower number on the scale.

You’ll also hear why hunger suppression creates a “low-calorie trap,” how protein and essential nutrients become critical, and what must be done to protect muscle, energy, and long-term health for those currently using—or considering—GLP-1 medications.

This episode does not demonize GLP-1 drugs, but it does expose the Trojan horse effects behind rapid weight loss and explains why real food, gut health, toxin removal, stress management, and whole-body healing are essential for sustainable results.
