A consistent upward trend, even within the "normal" range, warrants attention because bupropion can cause gradual blood pressure elevation that does not trigger alarm on any single reading but becomes concerning over weeks
This approach works best if you: Are currently taking a GLP-1 medication (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, or similar) Want to lose weight while keeping your strength and muscle Can commit to strength training 2 to 3 times per week Are willing to prioritize protein even when your appetite is low Want structured, coached sessions instead of figuring it out on your own Understand that building or preserving muscle takes weeks and months, not days Are working with a doctor who supports strength training alongside your medication This may not be the right fit if you: Are looking for quick fixes or extreme approaches Arent able to commit to regular training (muscle preservation requires consistency) Have medical conditions that limit strength training, and your doctor hasnt cleared you yet If youre in your 40s or beyond, building and keeping muscle matters even more
