For men 50+ on Zepbound, Mounjaro, or tirzepatide
Your doctor gave you a pen. Nobody gave you a game plan.
GLP-1s are a genuine breakthrough - the scale finally moves. But for men over 50, up to 40% of the weight you lose can be lean mass. That's muscle: the tissue that keeps your metabolism running, your balance steady, and your independence intact. This is the missing manual for losing the fat and keeping the muscle - without joining a gym.
The problem
There's a name for winning the wrong game
"Skinny-fat by injection"
You finish the course lighter, smaller... and weaker. Clothes fit. Stairs don't. And rebuilding muscle after 50 is a lot harder than building it at 30. That's not a success story - that's a trade you never agreed to.
A plan built for the pen
A straight, doable system written by a retired physician who understands both sides of the prescription pad - and what men 50+ actually need to protect while the medicine does its job.
"The pen costs the weight. The plan keeps it off."

Who this book is for - and who it isn't
This is for you if...
- ✓ You're a man 50+ on Zepbound, Mounjaro, or generic tirzepatide - pre-dose, week two, or eight months in
- ✓ You've heard "just watch your protein" and knew that wasn't a plan
- ✓ You want to keep hunting, hiking, lifting grandkids, and traveling at 70 - not just fitting into smaller pants
- ✓ You want the science without the lecture, and the plan without the fluff
Skip it if...
- ✗ You want a medical guide to replace your doctor - this is the companion to your doctor, and it includes the checklist that makes those appointments count
- ✗ You want a crash diet. The pen costs the weight; the plan keeps it off
- ✗ You're under 30 looking for bulking advice - different game, different book
About the author
Dr. Baz Morris - retired physician, full-time coach
Dr. Morris helps men over 50 optimize GLP-1 weight loss with a focus on muscle preservation and metabolic health. He wrote this book because he watched too many men win the battle with the scale and quietly lose the war for their strength.
Questions, answered
The honest FAQ
I haven't started the medication yet. Is this too early?
No - the first chapters and the Doctor Conversation Checklist are written exactly for the pre-dose window, so you start your first dose already knowing the plan.
I'm eight months in. Is this too late?
Not at all. The 80/80/20 Plan and the band protocol work at any point - and the off-ramp chapters matter most in the back half of the journey.
Do I really not need a gym?
Really. The protocol uses two resistance bands and fifteen minutes. Everything in the book is designed for a living room, a hotel room, or a porch.
Is this medical advice?
No. It's an educational companion to your prescriber's care - and it includes the checklist that makes your appointments with that prescriber count.
