If you live in Redmond or Sammamish and you’ve been curious about GLP-1 medications like semaglutide, tirzepatide, Ozempic, or Wegovy, you’re not alone. We get this question almost every week at Sasquatch Strength & Nutrition. People want to know if these medications actually work, whether they’re safe long term, and how they fit into a…

Sleep is lighter, recovery takes longer, weight shows up in places it didn’t before, and the cardio that used to work suddenly doesn’t.
