- A new group of drugs for type 2 diabetes and obesity have shown to be more effective for weight loss than any previous medications. Some medications like Ozempic and Wegovy have surged in popularity thanks in part to celebrity use. But who should be taking them? And are they safe? In today’s episode, we break down the future of the weight loss industry and examine why some of these medications could also help curb addictive behaviors.

If you're just overweight and not diabetic, you're better off with just cutting sugar, drinking only water, lowering your calorie and carb intake(between 1000 to 1400 calories), and taking an hour out of your day to exercise. Since February, I've lost 75 pounds doing this.
Eat grass fed beef only. If you go to the grocery stores and read the back of labels, nothing is ever pure anymore. There are so many additives and chemicals in the foods, it’s almost like the health department is trying to kill everyone with obesity.
Self awareness and personal responsibility are big factors. It requires life style changes.
40 pounds in 7 weeks.
And although to many it seems a mild boast- I've lost 6 pounds in a little less than 3 weeks. As a bariatric maintainer stage I know better than drugs to do it- when I feel sad I'm hovering at 200 pounds I remember when I was a BIG PEACH BLOSSOM AT nearly 400 pounds less than 5 years ago. 😢 Never again, after all that, I shall live and love the blessing of still being alive. 200 tain't all that bad😅
Congratulations. However, most people with diabetes and obesity cannot just rely on diet and exercise.
That involves discipline and effort. A non starter for many people.
It is also a medication that has greatly changed my journey with my diabetes. Celebrities have made it very difficult for those of us who need the medication for our diabetes.
You could just lose weight. If you have type 2 diabetes it's totally reversible. It's caused by fat on your liver and pancreas. Lose the fat and it goes away. It doesn't cost any money either. It saves you money.
Curing diabetes? Carnivore diet.
@@davidc3943 Just eat less calories then you burn. It's not rocket science. Calories in, calories out.
Yes, in the same way that it makes it very difficult for morbidly obese people, who also need the medication, to avoid premature cessation.
A handful of celebrities can’t cause a global shortage. 😂 There are other diabetes drugs & production is catching up.
Eat less, exercise more.....
The only thing Hanoi Jane was ever right about.
One way of avoiding nausea or GI side-effects on Ozempic or Mounjaro is too eat smaller portions. Another way is to have some Pepto, Imodium, Tylenol, and MiriLax lying around in case one of those side-effects sneaks up on you. I've heard there are also even more powerful drugs coming out soon, such as retatrutide, but of course the side effects increase, too. This is the beginning of a golden age in diabetes and obesity management. Thank you gila monster.
The problem with these drugs, including Wegovy, intended specifically for weight loss) is that, at some point, you quit taking it, and you gain the weight back. There are some who say "Don't quit taking it" but then you are interfering with your body's endocrine system, and the problems cited here.
And you know this to be true how? Don't dog a solution. These are amazing drugs.
You don't get fat without eating.
All diets have this problem of weight regain.
Obesity is a medical condition, not a moral failing. If we can better control it, we can prevent diabetes, heart disease, and premature death. Same as controlling blood pressure or cholesterol.
Taking Ozempic for a raise un blood sugar,caused by my injection of Praulent (a anti colestrol med) I've lost 25lbs in 10 weeks. Ineed to lose another 35 lbs to not b obese . I feel like I get the flu,every week for 3 days; however, I need this to avoid another heart attack.
Change in life style makes a huge difference, 40 pounds lost in 7 weeks.
Try not eating a bunch of carbs and sugar in processed foods. That’s all you need.
I'm a very strict eater,no junk ever in my life. No candy,bread ,spuds. Very little sugar. One of the side effects of Praulent,which is new type anti cholesterol med,that it raises sugar. Because of serious back injury z they pumped me full of steroids for about 20yrs. Gained alot of weight,and cannot excersize. I hate medication and tried to avoid it my whole life. Never enjoyed junk food. I have always believed that,'eat food like medicine, or medicine wil b ur food'.
Good for you. Controlling obesity can be a struggle. No question. Great to hear you’re making progress even if it’s not always easy.
Loading up on protein, eating a lot of protein, before your injection really helps with the nausea especially if you are titrating up in dosage. If you take your shot at night, which helps with the nausea, eat a lot of protein throughout the day. Drink lots of water to help flush out the byproducts. Limit carbs.
Extremely disappointed in many comments here. My daughter has been overweight since was was a child..she was diagnosed with PCOS which causes hormonal issues. She has tried every diet out there unsuccessfully and not because she hasn’t really tried. She works in Hospice care and is very compassionate. She has said to me that she knows that people judge her based on her weight so she works very hard to show people her true self. She is seeing a weight loss physician who has tried to help her in many ways. The Dr recently recommended one of these weight loss drugs. However, her insurance company refuses to pay for it. They say if she was a diabetic they might consider it.. so…..we have to wait until she becomes diabetic? So they would rather pay for her to be unhealthy instead of helping her become more healthy. Very unlogical and STUPID! I agree that these drugs should not be given out to celebrities or others needing to lose 10 lbs. However, if they can help people with a medical condition(which obesity is) then great!
so a formerly fat person goes to their doctor after losing 100 pounds. the doctor says “it’s not that you’ve lost 100 pounds-you’re still ugly”.
- "Weight Loss Drugs: Trend or Treatment?"
The title implies that "trend" and "treatment" are contradictory to each other, which is not the case at all. In contexts like this one "trend" means that things are moving or changing to certain direction. That change can very well be permanent. Usually the trend stops at some phase, and unless it reverts, it becomes something permanent. Trend doesn't mean the same as "passing" or "fashion". Many people confuse "trend" especially with the latter.
Much of the blame for that goes to fashion media, which for long has tried to distance itself from the word "fashion", perhaps because they feel it creates a superficial impression. Ironically, in a superficial fashion they chose to start to misuse the word "trend". There can of course be trends in fashion too, but people in the field generally don’t seem to be able to distinguish the two concepts.
Great observation ❤
Love this
I have made id on tv too so i like things which i watch ,carefully...
One thing and changes the story this is the nature of my tattoo.
Oh good
Be proud of yourself!
The cows on the View could try injecting gallons of Ozempic.
The good thing about WHO world health organizagion and others medicines is that they give details in the paper to be read and avoided to take to and here in pakistan for falttering they say take take no matter what gonna happen like menopause ...
WHO also promotes seed oils, which is the leading cause of obesity!
Berberine is a good option
Like i mention the issues with solutions and give suggestions too so that makes pakistani people more jeolous and they do corruption whereas i never did...and think ways to just insult me.... I am like i would like to get my work checked so as techs..like mobile and apps and e.mials and many ids of mine are hacked too..
Keeping us sick good for business 👁️☠️
What on earth are you trying to say here?
Trending Treatment 😅
I love that when she starts describing Ozempic and how it works she essentially just admits that the effect of it is simply just mimicking (monkeying after) a normal vegan diet. How much of a loser would one have to be in order to be unable to eat healthy and go for a run? 😂😂😂😂
Trend.
Nonsense. This is a gift from science to humanity. It’ll help people live longer, better lives. It’s no more of a trend than meds for cholesterol or blood pressure.
I feel like these drugs should be a last resort. First, exercise and diet changes should be implemented.
Well, the treatment protocol is to try to lose weight first through lifestyle changes. But there are situations where it may just not be working and the consequences of inaction are too great. Like if someone is pre-diabetic. Once you’re actually diabetic, it can be impossible to reverse. Preventing it can greatly extend a person’s life.

Nothing is better than a proper diet and exercise. Unfortunately some folks can't do one or both. Some have a medical condition. Others are just too damn lazy.
Subsidized #JunkFood and #FoodDeserts 🏜. Does insurance cover this while #FoodStamps expire?
Is this like when I was wrongfully prescribed #Rogaine for a #RecedingHairline?
No. Because nowadays, if you exercise and eat healthy, it is considered “far right.”
@@davidc3943 Not even close... Have you seen how fat the far right get? try looking at cult45.
Don't be a jerk. You don't know what it's like.

And far right is bad?

People taking shortcuts instead of learning and putting in the hard work. Im no expert but I would assume looming side effects are on their way.
My wife is an endocrinologist who’s also board certified in obesity medicine. She’s encouraging me to try ozempic bc I’ve struggled with my weight for years after an injury (limiting my ability to walk/run). She calls ozempic a gift from science to humanity, similar to meds used to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Anyhow, I may try it. I’m still trying to lose weight on my own, but without much success, and I am pre-diabetic.

Ah yes the universal answer. More pills.
They're weekly injections.
What would you recommend? Just dying earlier than necessary? Do you consider cholesterol or blood pressure meds bad? Or insulin to treat diabetes?
@@damnjustassignmeone how about a decent diet? Or studies on how these issues occur in the first place? Whatever happened to an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure?
@@PapaFranku-qe2sc My wife is an endocrinologist who’s also board certified in obesity medicine. She calls ozempic a gift from science to humanity, similar to meds used to treat high blood pressure and cholesterol. Now, diet and exercise affect all of these conditions. But if a person can’t control them in this way, it’s better to use meds than just die.
@@damnjustassignmeone I understand it can be helpful under certain circumstances. My concern is the possibility of abusing this medication for strictly cosmetic purposes and the potential side effects, both short and long term.
Harmful trend or Selfish and Hazerdous treatment
Move more, eat less, no drugs required. You’re welcome.
Not effective for everyone. Each person is unique and different. You're missing the point
@@graphene1487 But the excuses are always the same. 🤔
Young male. Come back at 60 with your potbelly Tarzan. 😂
@@SN-sz7kw LOL what?
@truthache8560 I like your username. Folks gonna be having a truth ache eventually when their logic catches up to them.
Are we expected to blindly accept the notion that weight loss injections, often presented as a miraculous solution to our health issues, are completely devoid of side effects? Do we not owe it to ourselves, to question the impacts these substances could have on our bodies, beyond just the surface-level promise of shedding pounds?
Is it really plausible to think that these potions, concocted in labs and injected into our systems, bypass our body's natural processes and result in weight loss without any secondary effects? Don't we need to consider that our bodies are complex systems, that every intervention - even with the noblest of intentions - can cause unforeseen reactions and interactions within this intricate network?
Could it be that we are so focused on the desired outcome - weight loss - that we overlook the potential negative impacts these shots might cause, on everything from our metabolism to our hormonal balance, and even our psychological well-being?
And finally, is it not imperative that we scrutinize the long-term effects of these weight loss shots, beyond the immediate weight reduction? Might we be setting ourselves up for future health complications, even as we celebrate the loss of pounds in the present?
How about promoting a proper diet and exercise. Everyone wants a pill to make things happen. The world is become lazy
Why would a media funded by pharma promote a healthy lifestyle? There’s no profit in it.
A young man. Come back at 60 with your potbelly, Tarzan.
@@SN-sz7kw I'm 53, in great shape from being active & exercise.
Losing weight is a conservative thing.
