I cannot tell you how skeptical I am of modern medicine and how much that increases on a daily basis.
Kobe prime career ended by anchilles injury...fewvyears late4 durant same injury, came back like nothing happened. Trust it.
The real statistics say 75 percent of Americans are Overweight and 50 percent are obese. Americans taking drugs to combat it is "Mental Illness". It is not about food anymore. Ozempic alters your brain functions, as soon as you stop taking it you will go back to your old habits. Taking Ozempic just shows how lazy Americans are and how it is not going to be a permanent solution. All this is going to do is lower your life expectancy which is already dropping more. It's no laughing matter how dumb and lazy Americans are.
I am more skeptical of the celebs promoting it.
**Dr. Fauci has entered the chat**
@xavierb9061 that's not true. Kobe was 34 when his achilles tore. He was already past his prime. At 36 he averaged 22, 6, and 6. Durant was 30 when his achilles tore.
There are no shortcuts in life without consequences. It doesn’t matter if it’s something like ozempic or winning the lottery. If you don’t actually know how to lose weight, or manage money you’ll end up right back where you started.
Exactly
Agreed. The issue is people are lazy. It isn't genetic, glandular. Plain laziness and wanting immediate outcomes for a lifetime of abuse. Insane.
Can’t be that hard to manage lottery money.If it is I would still like a chance to try lol
@@JBCCT01she’s 70 be realistic. It’s much harder at her age. Everything is just about being “lazy”
Exactly!
I’ve gained 50lbs since I hurt my back. Went to see a nutritionist to help me fix my diet and the first thing she suggested for weight loss was Ozempic. I said hell no. I’m not a diabetic and it causes loss of bone density and muscle mass. She was like whatever. Our healthcare system is a mess.
I agree with you about our healthcare system 100%! I am skeptical of all Drs. I don't take any meds and I thank God I don't have to. I worked in a family practice and I saw the drug reps cuddle up to the Drs. Whatever drug they wanted to push....that's what was prescribed if it was needed or not! A few months down the road, it was a new pill. Of course you know....there's big, big money in pharma. And please don't get me wrong, I'm not speaking of all Drs., but I've seen in many cases with friends and family, the Dr. will NOT tell a patient what needs to happen without a drug. When I had a Dx of high blood pressure for the first time in my life...one, I was overweight. My Dr. prescribed meds. I went straight home, changed my diet and researched foods to help lower my blood pressure, within 6 weeks my BP was down 6 points and at 10 weeks, it was back to normal! The saying is true...we ARE what we EAT.
Wait isnt it for a diabetic dangerous not to eat and to starve the body a diabetic needs sertain foods
She’s probably getting a kickback $$$
Scary
not to speak of the immense adverse effect on one's digestive system, absorption of nutrients especially minerals. Even diabetes management is over medicated. Honestly i thought my dad's doctors messed up his health completely with over medication that led him down a rabbit hole of creating one complication via the management of another. PLease do go to a nutritionist, do light exercises if that helps, drink a lot of water, watch your calories like a hawk , please do not go for medication as the first choice, avoid it if you can.
My mom’s friend was on this and lost 30 pounds. She stopped taking it because she hit her goal. She gained 60 lbs.
So now, she’s back on it 🤦♀️
The reason this is getting pushed is because once on it, you have to stay on it because the rebound is insane!
Staying on that isn't the answer. I'm over weight & it's been life long problem. It's a mental issue. Staying on drug does'nt permanently fix it. Also nobody knows the effect on body & it's for diabetics. Should'nt be given to everyone.
So she got fat because she overconsumed food compared to what she burns off on daily basis. She took the drug, lost the weight, stopped the drug and went straight back to the life style that got her fat in the first place and she now surprised of it? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's pure logic that it will happen, 5th grader can figure that
That's the business plan
That happens with anything tbh. If you go to something strict like carnivore for a few months lose a ton of weight and then go off it eating cakes, ice cream, sodas, etc. you're going to probably put on more weight faster than you had before.
@@MrLPetronis Hey mind your business unless you have something nice to say.
This is going to be a real issue 5-10 years down the road. No one knows the long term side effects associated with daily use.
@@v-2010 And what's your position at the company?
@@sandyshoals7565 your reaction to facts? lol
However, they do know the side effects of metformin and that is still overly endorsed by the medical community for diabetes. Lose weight and your type two diabetes will be in control.
@@v-2010Yes really. For those specifically taking it for other reasons than it was designed for (diabetes). Thousands of people have lawsuits out against the company that manufacturers it for pancreatic cancers, pancreatitis, thyroid cancers, having to remove gallbladder, death etc. You have to look the data up bc they will NOT tell the public about it.
Side effects:
- Thyroid tumors, including cancer, especially in people with a family history of MTC or MEN-2
- Dehydration, decreased appetite, constipation, nausea, vomiting, bloating, fatigue, headache, muscle cramps, dizziness, heartburn, stomach pain and mood changes.
- Weight regain and health problems if the drug is discontinued or changed
- Hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes
- Suicidal thoughts in some users
The problem is the changes we made in our food policy in the 70s. Look at photographs of people in the 60S then compare them to people in the '23
True, their skin looked much better back then...hardly no acne...😂
Faulty logic....doesn't prove causation. You could just as easily say, "Look how fat people are in '23....compare the air pollution now to the pollution in the 70s!"
Tv actually didnt work/broadcast past 11pm and there was like 13 channels. 0 cell phones, no hand held games.
The biggest health scam was seed oils for cooking and PFAS in our food.
There's huge chemicals in our foods. Plus we have easier life's. We eat more bigger portions exercise less and food availability is high. It's many factors
My husband is 6’ and was 235. He started keto 3 months ago and is now 203. His blood pressure normalized and his knee pain nearly disappeared. Eating right and moving more is the safe way.
Same. The knee pain was caused by inflammation and keto specifically prevents this. Exact same thing happened to me.
Absolutely. Keto, or gentle ketosis is huge in helping with inflammation and pain. My arthritis pain completely subsided since I started eating lower carb lower glycemic food. Our bodies are amazing how responsive they are when we treat them right. ☺️

@@Justiceone88 that’s awesome!! Way to go!!
I’m a Pharma rep in the Gastroenterology space, I actually know the Ozempic and monjaro reps, we are seeing permanent medically induced gastroparesis (paralysis of the stomach, in which movements of the stomach slow down almost to a halt and the patient vomits up anything swallowed) it’s a horrific condition that before modern medicine was a sure and painful death sentence.
We are watching one giant experiment unfold with this drug being prescribed for weight loss, that is not what these were made to be used for and most GLP’s don’t have the clinical indication for weight loss, making is actually illegal to prescribe for what they’re using it for. Only time will tell what the side effects are, I work with Gastroenterologists everyday and have this exact conversation.
Wow, that's just scary. Thanks for sharing. Glad you're seeing what's up and warning people.
We know the effects of low insulin. Increased cardiovascular function, fat metabolism, hormone regulation. That is a glp1 does. Just like a fast or a keto diet. If patients return to their old eating habits, that will cause far more detrimental effects than any GLP-1 ever could.
It's crazy! I dont hate myself and my image enough to inject anything into it not knowing the long term effects. These people are only looking at the NOW and what it brings
Is that normally with higher doses? I’m on 5 mg of MJ for six months..no vomiting some runny 💩 yes I eat less but I also IF. my sugars hav went from AC1 13 to 4.3.... I first started injections three yrs ago on trulicity.then wegovy gave me nausea my hubby started thinkin I was pregnant 😂. So I got off that dr put me on MJ been over all fine. The effects u hav heard of rare? R they people that were diabetic or not Jus using it to lose weight. And r they over doin it🤦🏽♀️I would never take MORE than doc said if anything instead of every 7 days I waited n took on day 10🤷🏽♀️ I don’t freak out n don’t feel need to eat.. I’ve lost 180 lbs...I swim Laps n lift weights. 30 lbs to go 🥳
It is not illegal in the US to prescribe off-label
I was overweight my senior year of high school. I didn't want to spend my young adult years like that. After talking a college level nutrition class I tailored a diet for myself and lost 30lbs in a year. Been 7 years since the initial loss and going strong. BTW, it does feel great to be at a healthy weight.

I’m in health care. The sad part is that people that actually have diabetes are unable to access this medication which is life threatening to them. This medication also slows the gut and can cause gastric atrophy. The side effects and long term effects will be scary. Also I’m curious as to how this will affect the pancreas of non diabetics in the long run. Diabetics take insulin because their body no longer effectively produces insulin which regulates blood sugar. When your body doesn’t naturally produce the right amount of insulin, the sugar can’t enter the cell, fat is stored and weigh gain occurs. The reason they’re losing weight is because the medicine is managing their blood sugar. My concern is how this medication will confuse the body. Why would you need to naturally create your own insulin when you have a substance that does it for you? Will it later make you dependent on insulin to manage this process?
Excellent points
Same concerns here. I had a patient taking this. Yes, she lost a substantial amount of weight. BUT she was also losing so much muscle that her legs were becoming weak. This patient was only in her 50’s & worked 10 hour days 6 days a week. After less than 6 months she was struggling to get through 8 hour days 5 days a week. These people need to understand (as you pointed out) that we don’t know the long term effects. That they are actually losing so much muscle, not just fat. They are not receiving enough education to be responsibly taking the medication. If they are going to take it (I wish they wouldn’t) they need to use it for a short term & plan on using the time when the appetite is decreased to reassess their relationship with food. AND TO EXERCISE! What is the point of losing weight if you are to weak to have a better quality of life?
I have been using a compounded Semaglutide for awhile now and I've noticed a few things.
First, the ones that have bad side effects, the majority have the same things in common. 1: They still eat trash, just less of it, 2: They are all on the increased doses and 3: They don't exercise. They are using high doses of these medicines in place of lifestyle changes.
My first round of it lasted 6 months and I never went above 0.5mg. I was also taking TRT at the same time. Went on a super healthy eating plan and went to the gym 6 times per week, lifting weights 3 times per week and cardio the other 3. Lost a lot of fat, gained a good amount of new muscle and no side effects. I since went off the Semaglutide while continuing everything else. Zero side effects, zero rebound and Glucose levels are perfect.
I am getting ready to do another round with the Tirzepatide used in the same manner. Less is more, don't stay on it long term and use it as a tool to help the diet and exercise.
The people blasting on 10-15mg per week for 12 plus months? Yeah, they are going to rebound or be stuck buying this expensive medication for the rest of their lives.
This!
Exactly diabetic patients cannot access it because of these insane narcissists.
This greatly improved my health- YES to eggs, meat, full fat dairy, (greek yogurt, butter, cheeses) fruit, honey (for insulin signaling), fermented veggies.
NO - Processed seed oils such as vegetable oil, canola oil, soybean oil, corn oil, peanut oil. (cook w/ real butter or lard) NO processed grains, processed sugars, packaged junk food.
Yes, this what a knowledgeable, truly caring doctor should tell his/her patients. The cost is a stupid tax for the weight loss, a rip off for the diabetics and dangerous for their health. Snake oil selling is alive and well.
This is the way
The high cost of Ozempic helps users lose weight by not being able to afford food.
😂
LOL
Its crazy to me that everyone buys grass-fed and natural foods, but don't want to be natural when it comes to their own bodies. You don't get overweight overnight and you don't get back in shape overnight. Please do things naturally and trust the process
It’s can cause intestinal blockage. I have a friend who tried it for a month and had to get emergency intestinal surgery, it killed part of her small intestine. The surgery is one of the most deadly with a 30% mortality rate after a month. 😢
Imagine being rich and too lazy to workout. You can hire trainers and personal chefs. It's like wtf
Rite! 😂
you still have to exercise , it wont make you lose weight on its own and that is why some say it does not work.
You are referring to very lazy people
Hell, they can hire someone to take the food out of their hand!!!
Ozempic from Novo nordisk company from the tiny country of denmark. We ar proud to have a top 10 biggest company in the world insane how big it is.
They have authorized it in children starting at the age of 12 . They fast tracked it with approval and no research 😡
Just like the COVID vax!
I used Ozempic for about 3 months. I stayed on a low dose and lost about 20 lbs. I chose to stop using it, kept working out and did well until a family member was hospitalized and my whole routine got messed up. I gained all the weight back. But I'm determined to lose it again, naturally.
👏🙏🏼👌
Intermittent fasting
@@Justiceone88that worked for me. I lost 15 lbs and that was the only change I made

Sheer insanity😢
Laziness and lack of discipline
Easy,quick fix.
The Bible - bear with me here - uses a New Testament Greek work for witchcraft (Galatians 5:20). The translation from the Greek for that word is Pharmakeia. Does that word sound like something discussed in this video? Solving a problem with Pharmakeia only to have it take something from you that is more valuable... Something to think about.
People value vanity over being virtuous.
Some of our parents and grandparents remember the Fen-Phen craze...... just saying. And dropping of a heart attack while taking Ozempic can point to that instead of the clot shot.
💯friend lost so much weight. And hair. And a marriage. (Oops). Then gained the weight back.
As well as a new thyroid disorder.
I remember that craze an my granny makin fun of the drug an the side effects of it. As wit anythn there will b side effects that these drug makers dnt tell you about...
My Mom told me about the FenPhen and all the law suits. Oh well, That is Fat Lazy Ole America for ya!🤪
My mom told me about her friend doing that fen phen shit in the 80s, It’s legal speed
I’m a diabetic, and I only lost about 12 pounds; I was fine on the lowest dose, but as the milligrams had to be increased, I ended up with the worst stomach pain I have ever had. It lasted for hours, worse than the labor of both my sons; I probably should have gone to the hospital; many people end up with severe stomach issues; read the side effects because they are accurate; if I’m a diabetic, think of what someone who isn’t one can happen. If staying in the bathroom is your thing, then you will be happy until the pain hits. Food doesn't have time to process before it is flushed. Stop dieting at all and just make healthy decisions it works better and has no side effects.
We need to look at our GMO'd, pesticide and modified "enhancers" in foods! I live in Indonesia for a few years. When I came back, I duplicated amount and foods I was eating there. I was walking similar to what I did over there, drank water and teas same as Indonesia. In one week I gained 10 lbs....tell me it's not our poor quality foods!
Those things are terrible, but they aren't the reason for weight gain, specifically. Seed oils are.
@@RunninUpThatHillhI agree with the seed oils, but it's more then that. Indonesian's live on seed oils. Everything gets fried or cooked in these oils and they don't spare it. There's very little butter, so they would do a heavy smear of margarine on their breads, stir fry with an excessive about of oil in the pan. On the streets, restaurants and at home they had those 5 gallon containers of Crisco or ABC vegetable oils, so they weren't cooking with coconut or olive oils. It's more then the oils or we have a different oil in the USA.
@@mackjohnson7685 It's the seed oils paired with other things, I'm pretty certain. As the seed oils redirect the body to burn the wrong fuel. Some bodies store it up, and that's how you get fat (and is more common with indigenous europeans). AFAIK a thin body is damaged just as much with same outcome (cancer, etc). IOW getting fat is just one way it destroys health. That's what I've read anyway.
Imagine taking this instead of actually taking care of yourself
It just kills your appetite.
You still have to eat less, this just makes it easier.
The over reliance and over prescription of adhd meds and drugs like this are going to have people really messed up later in life, but no one wants to talk about it. Anything for a shortcut

This new "miracle" drug...
1. Only works as long as you take it. When you stop, you gain the weight back. It is a forever drug.
2. It is expensive
3. A common side effect is a serious condition named gastroparesis, a very serious paralysis of the gastro intestinal tract which can kill you. I have it (I've never taken this drug) and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
4. Possible kidney disease (a condition associated with gastroparesis)
This is NOT something you want to mess around with. This drug should ONLY be taken when your doctor believes the risks outweigh the possible harm. Stay away from this stuff, people.
weight gain or loss is about thermodynamics. you cant increase in weight if you don't intake.
They can’t keep up with the demand.
There’s also a risk of cancer with this drug
You gain the weight back because the pill doesn't change your habits.
Cigarettes and alcohol prove that even the lowest earners will find money for their vices.

I'm a firefighter/EMS and today we transported a woman who'd had gastric bypass surgery and internally had become horribly infected. On the way back, my partner shook his head and said "The things people do to lose weight..." I looked at him and said "Yep...all they have to do to lose weight is join the fire department, eat right, cut out crappy food and work out." True fact...since joining I've lost 40 lbs. Never felt so great --- and certainly much better than that poor woman we transported today. Unfortunately, people want shortcuts and it will cut short their life.
True, but there’s a certain threshold where people give up. Your mind will screw with you and dig you deeper into this very dark hole. Kudos to you for changing your lifestyle man, but some people are just too far gone

I’m so glad I didn’t do surgery...I’ve lost a whole person..I’ve on diabetic meds cause I had AC1 13. Now it’s 4.3 and loss more than 175 lbs. only few pounds away from goal was .Not easy. Tried to lose slower to not hav a lot of loose skin. Loss over 3 yrs..swim laps, lift weights, IF, eating better n much less..drs are all proud of my health improvements. I also stretch out takin shot sometimes not every 7 but 10 days...anyways with everything out there it can kill...people hav jus died drinkin caffeine drink at panara foods...duh, they allergic doesnt kill my kid n others who drink it u kno...u could die from aspirin, nuts, hunny..natural things🤷🏽♀️ I think it’s important to hav good dr n check up regularly
I asked my primary doctor just "out of hand" no need for it, nor want it . . about this weight loss drug. He told me he would never prescribe it to nobody.
He's a good doctor. Some think it actually may help a person one way are another that's y it's good to get a different opinion.
Probably because of the painful diarreah.
My doctor told me the same thing. He said beyond the wait to get it (low/no stock in pharmacy) and the high costs, he has seen patients with horrible side effects.
same thing with my doctor, horrible side effects
Because it will decrease his patient load.😂😂 Every drug has side effects and I can assure you not taking the meds has greater long term repercussions. Every smart physician knows this. You either prevent the diabetes and help people with weight loss or you will be treating them for the rest of their lives.
Sad part is that there is now a huge supply shortage because of the weightloss craze! So much that the diabetics who legit need it can't find it!
Diabetics don’t NEED it! Diet and exercise!!!! Just lazy ….
@warnenoyce5026. Yes, but even diabetics can go on keto or carnivore diet and heal their diabetes and all the array of illnesses that come with it. That's what I did and I'm cured. 18 months as carnivore and I'm diabetes free!

Not pro shot but logically speaking because ppl are afraid to die, even if what they’re trying to do to avoid death has worse consequences. I also think ppl forget that up until 1800s (front ancient times to modern ones) 50% or more ppl died before age of 15. Most due to disease.

My friend is maybe 25 lbs overweight. He went to the doctor for his knee because it was bugging him. She told him he needs to lose weight but instead of her referring him to a dietician and suggest he get a gym membership, she prescribed him ozempic. Why is her first thought a drug?? Why can't a Dr prescribe a gym membership?? You'd just have to swipe in and go a certain amount of times per month to continue to qualify for the gym prescription. They are so fast to throw drugs at people instead of suggesting they try to change their lifestyle through diet and exercise. It's sickening.
I work with a man with various disabilities he is diabetic and cannot get his prescription for this drug there's a shortage apparently now I know why disgusted is an understatement
There are so many diabetic medications. Please stop. He can be placed on farxiga which is also cardio protective
The shortage has zero to do with the people using it for weight loss.
Glad I’m going with intermittent fasting combined with exercise, the results are decently quick but not unstable
I have never had a doctor honestly talk about the risks for any medication. Not ever. If you have problems with any medications, see your doctor. AND look up the full info about any med in the PDR, the physicians desk reference. It has many pages of side effects listed. It's saved my life when doctor's wouldn't listen. They don't know the side effects of so many meds. Some don't care at all. You have to be your own loudspeaker, until they listen.
Talk to your pharmacist their the experts.
The other important thing to note about ozempic is that all it does is remove the hunger signalling/appetite to induce weight loss. But unless you still eat a healthy balanced diet and exercise you aren't just gonna lose fat. You will lose muscle mass, connective tissue and put yourself at risk of malnutrition. Even assuming its "safe" in moderation for informed individuals to use responsibly, a drug like this will inevitably be terrible for the overall health of the people.
A question was once posed to bodybuilding/weightlifting Olympians: 'if there was a steroidal drug that would enable you to win an Olympic gold medal but would probably kill you in five years, would you still take it?' Sadly, the majority of athletes questioned said yes. So, is it any wonder vain Hollywood/media celebrities would jump on this bandwagon.
That’s why you could never be an athlete
Let Hollywood be the test dummies
I’ve heard from close friends horrible stories about the side effects. First of all they were in constant pain. Their stomachs were always hurting, they felt sluggish, had extreme heartburn and acid reflux all the time, and were burping and regurgitating what smelt like open sewage (yes that smell was coming from their bodies). One is off of it and one is still on it. Both of these people medically required it. These types of “miracle” drugs do not come without consequences
I went off of it because of extreme heartburn back in March. I STILL have heartburn to this day. Terrible drug.
Wow, that sounds just horrible.
I am a diabetic and heard that Ozempic "helped" a person to lose weight and better control their blood sugar. I certainly wanted to try it. My NP wrote a prescription for me in February 2023. It was on back order until March. When I finally got it, I took it. Completely wiped out my appetite. My blood sugar went to 68. Blood sugar of 70 or lower is not good. Once I was done with those doses, once again, Ozempic couldn't be refilled because it was on back order. Three months later, I was able to get it. Started it up again. Extreme reflux. Diarrhea for an entire week. No appetite and the most powerful nausea I've ever experienced. Then vomiting and pooping at the same time. Missed work for a week. I stopped taking it. It's not worth it.
Now imagine a great depression hitting the country and not only do people have difficulty finding affordable food, but they lose access to these drugs and they crave food even more.

Oh no.
The sad part about this is that my friend who need is because of her diabetes, she has to travel to different pharmacies because of lack of availability due to it’s popularity amongst the rich and famous.
Most people order that stuff from doctors with their own private practice. This "shortage" is false information 😂. Big Pharma never runs out
The Type II diabetics ought to correct their diets, then they won’t need it. Problem solved.
May I suggest you direct her to a compounding pharmacy to get what she needs? Have her ask her doctor about it. The shortage (apparently) is due to the pens, not the actual peptide (semaglutide).
Your friend could cure her diabetes by eating very healthy, so she takes it for a similar reason the chubs do... because she doesn't eat good food.

It took me almost 3 years to lose the 40 pounds I gained in a year after I quit smoking, plus losing another 10 pounds to get to a healthy BMI. No drugs, just intermittent fasting (nothing drastic; I basically skipped breakfast). In the long run, I can maintain this loss doing the same things I did while losing weight, which have become a lifestyle for me. I couldn’t imagine losing the same weight rapidly, then being dependent on a drug to keep the weight off.
Intermittent fasting is everything! They'll never promote it because there's nothing to buy!

My husband is a type two diabetic and he just started Ozempic a month ago. We shall see how it goes, but his is truly for diabetes not weight loss.
Think this is a little scary, but predictable, how Hollywood is flocking to this for a quick fix.
I am also diabetic and was prescribed this drug about a month ago. I feel like I have lost some weight (I haven't been back to the DR yet) but I know for sure it has brought my sugars down according to my own testing.
He could easily fix it naturally.
Encourage him to get off medication and heal himself with proper diet and exercise. Don’t use medication if you don’t need it. Type 2 is a fabricated condition and he can heal himself with the care . Not worth the effects of medicine
This causes stomach paralysis. Can we talk about this????
Lol. Who needs a stomach?!
Intestinal.
Can’t say those two words I expected to hear today 😂
My youngest client was 6 yr old and adult diabetes, full blown puberty and 186lbs. She was fed all junk fast food.
Yea sumtimes these parents dnt have their kids eating healthy. I didn't give my kids candy all the time, especially since I went to dental school an learned about wat eating sweets can do to ur teeth, but others would give them sweets like my mom, when I wasn't around, so I couldn't do much about it then😂
Thats also pervasive in some latin countries, with a corn, sugar, and fast food diet being typical for most kids.
wtf 😳😳😳
186? My god !!
That's HORRIBLE parenting.
03:34 I've been taking it for a little under a year, initially it makes you feel nautious, that goes away. It does take away your appetite, so much so sometimes you forget to eat at all. I also sometimes miss taking other medications I take with food. But I've also lost about 50lbs from a high of 328lbs. It has also helped reduce my blood sugar levels.
I used ozempic for a bit and it really helped me. Lowered my blood pressure significantly. Now it’s not a long term solution. But I can speak for myself that it helped me for a short time.
It's clear losing weight this quickly can only lead badly. As the saying goes, easy loss, quick gain. Ophrey should be ashamed of herself for her lack of self-discipline and healthy lifestyle. Her entire platform has been a fake.
And u would think, a person who's looked upon as a "role model" isn't setting a good example herself 😂😂😂
Guarantee she got lipo and buccal fat removal. All these celebs take the easy route
She also dispenses marriage and parenting advice
It was fake from Day One.
And I think she
Stories like this make me trip out hard because it makes me think about how we as a nation view all drugs in general. We act so concerned when we hear about drugs like Fentanyl and Heroin, but there are lot of pharmaceutical drugs, some like Ozempic, that are so new to the world that no one really know the full effects, that are out there that people have no problem taking and giving no thought to the side effects or if changing their lifestyle can help them avoid those drugs in the first place.
If you think about it, the government has never been correct when it came to food and medicine. I remember when the food pyramid had bread as the main source of nutrition and everything else was to compliment it. Coffee as supposed to cause cancer than it wasn’t. Red meat was supposed to be as bad as sugar was. Margarine was the healthy replacement for butter. When it comes to drugs, the hiv drug was worse than the virus. Norcos and Vicodin created this opioid epidemic now. Covid vaccines was a lie. I don’t understand why people would still trust the government. At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if we found out cigarettes were good for you.
Mention taking vitamins and they're also totally opposed to that, but down every medicine their doc recommends... crazy stuff!!
@mmhthree Because their doctor is a trained expert, not some dude on the internet.
I asked endocrinologist, if Trulicity was an INSULIN, she said no its a HORMONE.(?)
Good or like ozempic?
Yes, it is reminiscent of another “drug type thing” that no one knew anything about, yet lined up to get!
My cousin who was not diabetic got a prescription for it and has lost so much weight it has aged her. Her face is so sunken in and wrinkled, her thighs are the same size as the lower part of her legs. She told me she can barely lift anything any longer, and said she stays fatigued. I feel for her but honestly she did it to herself. She was skinny to begin with so the fact that her doctor let her have this is ridiculous.
I dropped 30lbs in the last 6 weeks. It’s because I started fasting though, rather than drugs. Just eating one meal in 3 days or so gets the job done! Wouldn’t trust a drug that stops you from eating though. Apparently fasting has crap loads of health benefits that I never knew about before 2 months ago.
Me too except I’ve lost 20 lbs in 2 months. I figure if I lose 10 lbs a month via fasting then I’m less likely to have sagging and wrinkles from the loss. I trust pharma like I trust obummer
@@debralondon4295 I lost 120lbs once in my early 20s. It took two years. Still had the skin issues. Just had to build muscle to fill them out. That’s the plan again. This time around I’ll probably use fasting as a tool to manage weight for the rest of my life. It’s way easier than the diet I was on years ago. Still get to eat tasty food on my meal day.
What are you going to do when you resume normal eating habits?
@@pamc3338 I started fasting because I’ve been dealing with multiple injuries and have been unable to work out. The fasting has sped the process of healing so I’ll be getting back to running and lifting. But as far as food, I think now that I know about how fasting can be super effective and good for you (repares cells and breaks down cancer cells and stuff) I’ll probably go back to one meal a day and when I put on 10lbs fast again and just use fasting as a regulator forever. It’s a lot better than being on a diet forever. I’ve been on a diet for the last 15 years and in the last 10 of those it’s been a loosing battle. Fasting is way easier for me personally.
Have a personal training client start monjarro and lost over 30 lbs rather quickly. After her results slowed, her doctor rose her doseage... then shortly after her heart start racing periodically throughout the day. To this day, it's still a problem... as i haven't been able to train her in over 8 or so months. She now wishes she never started it.
The way we've let ourselves go is disgusting. Out on a remote farm; everyone works hard and strikes me now I've not seen anybody morbidly obese here locally. And after 40 years in acute health care (ERs, ICUs and plenty of in-house), I've learned 2 things: 1. Every drug (worthwhile) has its price beyond money cost and 2. No shortcuts. Exercise and not eating so damn much. Period. Welcome to a world where few get out or even take a walk. In city images, 90% seem fat as hell.
@@KVX21Exactly
It has more to do with the piss poor quality of our food supply. Our food, water, air and soil has been poisoned! That is no secret! So, if you’re really are not a bot in Chy na , please wake up…it’s time you join the rest of humanity and learn the truth.
One of my elderly relatives lost excess weight without even doing exercise, just by eating less. That relative now looks years younger.
When I was a kid we were whipping the football around outside.
Now, kids are on cell phones, tablets etc
lmao "just eat less" - silly fat people, all they had to do was not give into their cravings! Next you're going to tell me you can beat alcoholism and addiction by not consuming your particular poison
I swear to god, the medical illiteracy in these comments is something else, that and the empathy-devoid way of summarizing highly complex topics with two words. Welcome to a world where people like yourself don't bother with higher-level reasoning, which is funny because you'd think the guy who just promotes "more exercise" had some way of leveraging their gray matter instead of producing this slushy thought-goop people with actual clinic insight have to sift through.
Watch Renaissance Periodization or Jeff Nippard, not these charlatan fearmongers trying so hard to not ever post a single proper study.
It's not just regulating blood sugar and decreasing appetite.
It's also slowing digestion. Makes you feel fuller, longer.
The side effect they are not telling you about is constipation.
Potentially severe constipation.
I was given a trial, one month supply of Ozempic.
I did lose 10 pounds over four weeks.
But the last week I was on it, I only pooped three times. And the third time...I had to take several doses of a laxative and drink a full gallon of water (on top of my normal water intake) before anything would come out.
When The last dose of ozempic wore off I was sooooo hungry, felt like I hadn't eaten in days, I could not stop eating.
And the ten pounds I lost came right back on in barely a week.
I am glad it was just a trial and I didn't have to pay for it because it was not worth the side effects.
I was on it a short time, too, because it made me so painfully sick. I had constipation and diarrhea. I was also always nauseous and had bad stomach pains!
Just one thing. If your eating less, your making less poop. Not going every day isn't a problem if your eating only nutritious and less bulky food. A ton of vegetables, though less calories, will keep you in the bathroom.
My dad was prescribed this for diabetes. That’s originally what its use was intended for but they found weight loss was a benefit. It’s insane that people are taking this to lose weight.
Your dad could cure his diabetes by eating very healthy, so he takes it for a similar reason the chubs do... because he doesn't eat good food.

That's not true..there was a time ( maybe in late 90's) where she did lose..like most people though, she gained it back eventually.

I can tell you about the long term side effects of a drug prescribed for pain, though originally developed for epilepsy, that I took for nearly a decade. I had unbearable abdominal pain until I finally stopped taking it. 4 months later I now have normal digestion, no bleeding or foot neuropathy or mood swings. Life is good, drugs are evil.😮
Haha😂😂😂
Drugs aren't evil
Boy, do I hate sweeping generalizations. No, drugs aren't evil. Antibiotics have changed the world. I have a child with an autoimmune illness requiring a drug that literally saves her life every single day. Are the adverse effects of SOME drugs worse than the medication itself? Yes; THAT would be an accurate statement.
@@dking1362 ok. It's hyperbole. Misuse of many modern pharmaceutical products are causing great harm. In past decades medication was prescribed for a short term. These days they usually treat symptoms and patients are expected to consume these products for a lifetime, and generally with deleterious effects. I've spoken to more than a dozen others who have taken Gabapentin and most have stopped using it. Antibiotics have been in use for decades and have been extremely effective.
@MrHughBetcha Sounds like Tegretol. That is some dangerous stuff.
I heard someone say once “god puts the price on everything.” The pain sweat and tears. The long journey all of that shit is the cost. There is also a cost when you take a short cut.

A epileptic friend of mine stopped taking the prescription meds and started smoking weed. Seizures are gone.
This pisses me off! My husband who is a diabetic and uses ozempic can not even get it because it’s out of stock in pharmacies. The use of this needs to be regulated and not given on a whim for dieting. 😡
My aunt takes that and her insurance was covering it now she has to pay the total cost and she said it is 1800. Per month

Bro, California should be the darkest state in that map. There’s some lying going on there. After 40 years seeing everyone there balloon into oblivion, I finally left… just to realize it’s not much better in Idaho. But still, that place has at least a 60% obesity rate. It’s disgusting.
As a weight management coach, I approve of this statement 😂
For California it definitely depends on the area. I don’t see any obese people in rich areas like NewPort Beach or Pebble Beach

@@stevengonzalez7729 if people only knew how great they’d feel if they ate better. Not even drastically. Nutrition and how to care for our bodies should be taught right out of the womb. Even spirituality, if you are eating like crap you aren’t going to be able to really tap into deeper spiritual experiences.
My mom is taking wegovy. She’s been trying to lose weight my entire life. Some people need the help.
Being stuck on it was my first concern aside from any other side effects we have yet to discover.
These people (maybe not the rich that can afford the best care) will be sorry as they get older, and/or develop an illness of some kind. The risk of overdose on these medications and the loss of Lean Body Mass is no joke. There's lots we don't know or care to know (because of the short term weight loss benefits). Treatment of any health issue is a give and take. Beware if you are an average person who may not be able to continue to afford continuing treatment.

I have a friend on it. So far she has lost about 60lbs, and recently she told me she is losing massive amount of her hair
Oh, no! 😳😳😳
Malnutrition...
My daughter was on Ozempic for diabetes for a very short time, until she saw the side effects then stopped and is managing it without drugs.
Ozempic has some pretty bad side affects like muscle and bone density loss.
Muscle loss is a natural part of weight loss, not directly caused by Ozempic. Ask any athlete, you have to consume much more protein to mitigate muscle loss during the cutting phase.
Well I was on the depo shot for yrs as a birth control method and it caused me to lose bone density so now I cnt get the shot which isn't a big deal considerin I'm older an not tryn to have more children if I can help it...I'm now on calcium pills as a result of that shot, which r good for u anyways...
i fucked up my bones and am a patient for life but its okay.....@@PrettyNicky50
@@mklite Muscle loss is but not bone density loss.
@@PorterPickUp I don't know as much about bone loss. Most likely the issue is caused by poor nutrition combined with a sedentary lifestyle. We know that exercise, exerting stress on the skeleton, strengthens bones.
If the government tries to mandate taking a shot or celebrities glorify taking a drug.. get that shit out of here! I’m good
Short cuts always have a price
60 years old and I can honestly say that I do not recall a single day of my life when I did not stress or worry about what I ate or how much I weighed. It is exhausting. Absolutely exhausting. So, if I was offered a pill that could magically take that pressure away irregardless of the side effects, would I take it? I don't know. It's tempting.
It also has a side affect of stomach paralysis
It's basically a water fast but way more reckless with artificial will power and you pay to eat nothing.
Don’t know how it is in USofA, but here in Australia, there has been an issue obtaining it, creating an interest.
The first month dose age is available easily but it becomes scarce on the regular dosage. It’s a shit go.

I figured from the get-go that the Hollywood crowd was taking that drug. Why don't people just eat properly and take daily walks? Oh, that makes too much sense!!!
Am eat fruits and veggies oh an drink plenty water!! 😅
This sounds a lot like that weight loss drug back in the 80s. What was it called oh yeah cocaine.
Haha...that will definitely make u lose weight quick especiallyof u been on it for awhile...then again it depends on ur metabolism, becuz I no ppl on that drug who's not skinny 😅
Plenty of fatass comedians claiming to be addicted to cocaine as well. But comedians lie a lot too so…
I am against this whole dangerous Ozempic use for non-diabetics. But it is important to note that many people have trouble losing weight due to gealth issues such as hypothyroidism. I had to have my right thyroid removed due to a tumor wrapped around it. I had nothing wrong with my Thyroid. Since The surgery I have gained 50 lbs and now have a host of symptoms like high cholesterol that I didn't have before. I eat a healthy diet. No junk food. Cook everything fresh, only whole, clean foods. And the weight will not move. So don't be so hard on people! You do not know there struggle.
I have fought hypoglycemia for 40 years!!! I am a diabetic and I am taking it and it WORKS!!! So I am so sick of people claiming they can decide my body better than I know my body. If the food manufacturers had NOT put hormones in our food we wouldn’t have the obesity problem.

You lose muscle mass over fat which will leave us plagued with an epidemic of skinny obesity. I.e. you appear normal weight but your real BMI is in the 30’s
At least havin a body mass in the 30 range is much more healthier then bein obese because at least you can gain weight but it's hard losin it...diet is key yet most Americans dnt stick to that regimen😂
It's sad, these companies will make so much money that they can easily weather the future lawsuits and so the cycle continues.
It is ENTIRELY ABOUT WILLPOWER AND SELF DISCIPLINE OPRAH. I was 330lbs at my heaviest. As of today, I have lost 64lbs in 7 mos. On my own. No medications, no weight loss surgery. IT TAKES WILLPOWER, SELF DISCIPLIE. PERIOD.
Important topic-thanks for covering. You can do the same thing by cutting carbs, and do it responsibly and healthfully.
100 years ago nearly everyone worked manual labor with much of that being hard labor. With the prevalence of machines very few are doing hard labor, its very simple. People ate bad food back then as well but at least they countered it with lots of exercise.
Not only did the bad food are these machines they wrked on do justice regardin weight, so did the effects the hard labor had on their bodies becuz now most of them, like me who wrked those hard labor jobs, r suffering from back issues!😂
@@PrettyNicky50 Maybe, body issues are exclusively due to bad postures when working such as using your back to pick up pallets which is a common mistake even today or not wearing knee pads. Twisting while lifting deteriorates the cartilage in your spine. Nothing changed regarding the poor of the great depression and today except food was harder to comeby and you did far more manual labor.
What ever happened to eating to live, in lieu of living to eat?

Who tf r u? Keyboard expert?
Yes very dangerous, i know several people that have been sent to the hospital
I’m an OR nurse in an outpatient multi specialty surgical center. We are seeing issues with ozempic patients. Almost every day we are cancelling cases due to patients not stopping ozempic far enough before surgery. (I would say at least 5-7 days). The decreased gastric emptying is a huge problem and places patients in danger of aspiration. Also, the body rids itself of harmful things naturally. Why would you want to delay that process by slowing down your system? I’ve seen many ozempic patients with a similar gaunt look in their faces due to the muscle wasting. Once people stop the medication they will most likely gain the weight back.
Give her about 6 months and she’ll balloon back like the Michelin tire .
I value my health too much to use any weight loss medication. A bit of fat won't kill you. I'm 20 lbs overweight, have lost it and got it back regularly but i'm healthy. I hope it works out fine for everyone.
People on Ozempic are most likely still going to eat the same bad foods, just less of them. So tragic that we don't have a government that cares about our own people
I appreciate this. I was thinking about it and realize that I would rather be a little over weight than deal with these side affects. I am in menopause and can't seem to stop some of this weight gain with the exercise and good food I am eating. I will just keep working on it.
I realize this is anecdotal, but this is my case. I'm on Mounjaro right now as a primary treatment for Type 2 diabetes. Over the course of my five months of treatment, I have lost 75 pounds and my H1C has gone down from 7.5 to 5.2. As far as the weight loss, I haven't experienced any of the hunger-suppressing side effects, and I'm constantly hungry. I attribute my weight loss to radically transforming my diet and living a healthy lifestyle.
Most importantly, I am no longer diabetic. My doctor is allowing me to stay on Mounjaro until I approach my goal weight, at which point I will start to taper off of it. At no point have I depended on the medication as a magical cure for weight loss. I do think that this medication is great in helping people who are committed to getting a handle on their diabetes, but I do fear that there are those that will abuse and take advantage of these newer medications.
