“Losing Weight on Semaglutide—But Also Losing Muscle?”

Semaglutide (often known as Ozempic® or Wegovy®) has become one of the most talked-about medications for weight loss. While it can be very effective, especially for people over 40, there are important things you need to know about how it impacts your body—particularly your muscle mass, strength, and energy levels.

⸻

The Hidden Side Effect: Muscle Loss and Sarcopenia

As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass—a condition called sarcopenia. This process accelerates after 40 and can lead to:
• Weaker muscles
• Slower metabolism
• Higher risk of injury and falls
• The dreaded “skinny fat” look – losing weight but still lacking tone, strength, and energy.

Semaglutide can speed this process along because it suppresses appetite and can lead to rapid weight loss. The problem? Without the right kind of exercise and nutrition, much of that weight can come from muscle, not just fat. That’s why many people report fatigue, weakness, and decreased performance after being on the medication for several months.

🎣 My son and I make a great team on the water. He spots the fish, I flip it right on top of them, and catch them.

At the end of the day, it’s not just about the fish—it’s about teamwork, trust, and the bond that grows stronger every time we cast a line.

👉 Remember, the best catches in life come when we work together.

Stay Strong to Live Long

Hey Chris,
Most people over 40 trying to improve their health and fitness make these 3 mistakes:

1️⃣ They work out like they did in their 20’s and 30’s. (We do not train in our 40’s and 50’s the same way we did in our 20’s!)
2️⃣ They skip resistance training. (Muscle loss accelerates after 40—strength training is non-negotiable.)
3️⃣ They ignore posture, core, and balance. (Hunched shoulders and weak cores make everything harder.)

Too many also fall for the myth that cardio is the key to losing weight—it’s not! While cardio is great for heart health, real change comes from the right mix of strength, cardio, and smart nutrition.

That’s why I created the 5-20-5 Method—proven 30-minute workouts designed specifically for men and women 40+.

With my program you’ll get:
✅ A plan built for YOUR lifestyle
✅ Weekly guidance & accountability
✅ Real results that last

Are You Still Training Like You’re 30… in Your 50s?

Because I’m not. And that shift has made all the difference.

In my 50s, I had to let go of the ego, respect recovery, and train with purpose over pride. Here’s what a typical week looks like now:

📍 Morning Routine
My day starts with a 30-minute walk in nature —
✅ Clears the mind
✅ Strengthens the legs
✅ Sets the tone for the day

💪 Workout Adjustments
• Full-body training 3 days/week
• No more 5-day splits
• Targeted sessions for:
• Core
• Glutes
• Medius, adductors, abductors

🏃‍♂️ Cardio Rotation
• Treadmill: 2x/week
• Stair stepper: 2x/week
• AM walks: 3x/week

🍽️ Nutrition Plan
• 160g protein/day (goal weight)
• Keep carbs under 75g/day
• Don’t track fat — I just don’t add any

🧠 Supplement Support
• Semax & Selank peptides for mental clarity
• Years on meds for muscle cramps affected short-term memory — this has helped significantly

⸻

I’m sharing this to encourage others over 50:
Your body changes. Your plan should too.

What changes have YOU made in your routine?
Let’s learn from each other.
