You can be taking Zepbound exactly as prescribed and still be making mistakes that quietly stall your results. In this video, I break down the 6 most common mistakes I see — as a board-certified internal medicine and obesity medicine physician — that undermine fat loss, muscle preservation, and long-term success on Zepbound, plus two bonus insights most people never hear from their prescriber.
These aren't theoretical. They're pulled from my own clinical practice, my patients, and my own two personal body transformations.
