For Ozempic · Wegovy · Mounjaro Users
THE WEIGHT IS COMING OFF. SO IS YOUR MUSCLE.
Studies show up to 40% of what you're losing on GLP-1 may be muscle — not fat. Most people never realize it until the fatigue, the soft body, and the rebound make it undeniable. There's a protocol built to prevent it.

WHY GLP-1 ALONE ISN'T ENOUGH
≈ 4 MIN · NO FLUFF · REAL NUMBERS
This is what's happening in your body right now
40%
Of GLP-1 weight loss can be lean muscle
Without resistance training and adequate protein, clinical studies show up to 40% of GLP-1 weight loss comes from lean mass — not fat. Your prescriber didn't have time to mention this.
60%
Of users regain the weight within 2 years
They lost the muscle that kept their metabolism running. When hunger returns after stopping the medication, a slower metabolism means the same food now causes weight gain.
3×
Longer to rebuild than it took to lose
Muscle lost during the medication window takes three times longer to rebuild than it took to lose. Every week without a protocol, the window to prevent this narrows.
Most GLP-1 users don't connect the dots until month 4 or 5 — when the fatigue, the soft body, and the stalled scale all land at once. Red Edge was built because someone we knew was living exactly that, and his doctor had no answer. Here's why it exists.
Why muscle is the variable that determines everything
6–10
cal/lb/day at rest
Muscle is metabolically active tissue. Every pound lost permanently lowers your resting metabolism. The food that maintained your weight before now causes gain — not because your habits changed, but because your engine did.
#1
longevity predictor
VO2 max — directly built by lean mass and Zone 2 training — outperforms every blood marker as a predictor of long-term mortality. Weight is not in the top five. Muscle capacity is.
1–2%
muscle lost per year after 40
Sarcopenia — age-related muscle loss — already begins in your 40s without resistance training. GLP-1's caloric deficit significantly accelerates this rate. The window to intervene is early, not later.
40+
health outcomes linked to low muscle
Low skeletal muscle mass is independently associated with cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, cognitive decline, fall risk, and all-cause mortality — regardless of body weight or BMI.
Who's behind the protocol
TWO COACHES.
ONE MISSION.

Coach Carson
Founder · GLP-1 Performance Specialist · U.S. Military

Carson built this protocol for his dad. Mounjaro was working — the weight was dropping — but his dad was getting weaker, not stronger. Nobody had an answer. Carson dug into the research, built a protocol from scratch, and watched his dad get stronger while the weight kept coming off. His dad's doctor asked what changed. Red Edge is that answer, built for everyone who needed it.
"Prescribers manage the medication. Nobody was managing the muscle. That's the gap Red Edge was built to fill."

Head Coach · CPT · GLP-1 Performance Specialist · U.S. Military

Carter has been training since he was 13 — not for aesthetics, but because he genuinely wanted to understand how the body works. He's tried every program and diet out there, not for himself, but to know what actually works for different people. He's the kind of coach who still reads the research on his days off because he actually cares about getting it right. When he started seeing GLP-1 clients losing strength while everyone told them things were going great, he knew exactly what was missing.
"Nobody was looking at what they were losing. Just what the scale said."

THE SCIENCE BEHIND
THE PROTOCOL
The Red Edge protocol is built on peer-reviewed research in GLP-1 pharmacology, exercise science, and muscle physiology. Not opinions. Not anecdote. Evidence.
NEJM · GLP-1 Outcomes Study
40%
Lean mass loss without resistance protocol
Participants on semaglutide without structured resistance training lost approximately 39–43% of total weight loss from lean mass, including muscle and bone. The medication creates the deficit — but it cannot tell your body what to burn.
Source: Wilding JPH et al. New England Journal of Medicine, 2021. STEP 1 Trial — semaglutide 2.4mg body composition analysis.
Obesity Reviews · Post-GLP-1 Outcomes
60%
Weight regain within 2 years of stopping
Meta-analysis of GLP-1 discontinuation studies found the majority of participants regained most of their lost weight within 12–24 months. The primary driver: reduced lean mass leading to a lower resting metabolic rate post-medication.

ISSN Position Stand · Protein Research
0.7g
Minimum protein per lb bodyweight to preserve muscle in a caloric deficit
The International Society of Sports Nutrition recommends 1.6–2.2g per kg (0.7–1.0g per lb) of bodyweight for individuals in a caloric deficit who want to preserve or build lean mass. Most GLP-1 users eat a fraction of this.
Source: Stokes T et al. Nutrients, 2018. ISSN Position Stand: Protein and Exercise. Recommended for muscle preservation during energy restriction.
Resistance training independently preserves muscle during GLP-1
Structured resistance training 3x per week activates GLUT4 transporters independently of insulin and sends a direct signal to preserve lean mass — even in a large caloric deficit. Studies show it can reduce lean mass loss by 60–80% compared to no training.
Churchward-Venne TA et al. Journal of Physiology, 2020. Resistance exercise and muscle protein synthesis during energy restriction.
VO2 max is the strongest predictor of longevity — not weight
Peer-reviewed research consistently shows VO2 max — built through Zone 2 cardio — predicts long-term mortality better than any blood marker, including blood pressure, cholesterol, or blood sugar. The Red Edge protocol builds it systematically.
