I’m morbidly obese and have been battling with huge up and down weight swings due to sleep apnea for quite some time now as CPAP therapy hasn’t been the perfect solution for me thus far. Can I reach you through a website? Id like to contact you for your services as you seem to be the most thorough doctor I have found online in regards to these medications
I can get a prescription for Wegovy- and have used it last year successfully. But my insurance has stopped covering it. My current PCP will not prescribe compound semaglutide. I’m having trouble finding someone to perscribe it (I have a reputable local compound pharmacy) A video on how to go about finding another provider to write the script would be a good one to for you to do. Do I just start in the phone book and call everyone? I’m super frustrated. Any help would be appreciated
If you are doing well on Wegovy, then I would continue on Wegovy. If you have stalled on Wegovy or can no longer get Wegovy, then Zepbound is an excellent alternative.
Dr . I cant loose weight. I want to get on ozempic or something but my medicate won't cover it here in indiana unless I have some type of issues. And well I'm over weight . I'm 235 pounds. What should I do ?I really wanna get on something
The numbers for Trulicity seem like they’re probably for low-dose Trulicity. 🤔 Btw, thanks for pronouncing the medication names correctly. So few content creators do, and I’m not sure why. 🤷♂️
It depends on what vaccine. I try to vaccinate my kids against influenza every year simply because I don't want them to miss a lot of school. But I don't see a reason to boost them against COVID.
@@ChristyRisingerMD whenever I took the flu shots I would get a severe flu each year. I reminded free of flu on the years I did not take the flu shot. Since then I have been intermittently taking zinc and vitamin d and recent vit d level was close to 50. Do you think the flu shot was weakening my immunity ?
Informative ,thank you
You're welcome, thank you

What about people who have contra indic. I had thyroid cancer. What can I use ??
How much does it cost if you don't have insurance? And can you take it for diabetes when your not overweight?
ANSWER: 2:40
Is it advisable to use Ozempec when not overweight but having high blood sugar (not responding enough to pills) and high cholesterol?
Yes, Ozempic is an excellent medication that is frequently used to treat Type 2 Diabetes. This was its original intent.
So are you saying you wouldn’t go from Wegovy to Zepbound? Or would you? TY

You may be right about the numbers for Trulicity. I used general numbers and broad generalizations. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comments!
She’s an MD. Most presenters are not.
@@mellocello187 Yes, but I’ve heard some doctors mispronounce those names too.
Happy valentines day
Thank you!
What are your thoughts on deciding to vaccinate your kids now?
It depends on what vaccine. I try to vaccinate my kids against influenza every year simply because I don't want them to miss a lot of school. But I don't see a reason to boost them against COVID.
