- Ozempic is a drug intended to treat Type 2 diabetes, but it’s increasingly being used by people without diabetes as a weight loss treatment. Dr. Mark Hyman, host of the podcast “The Doctor’s Farmacy” and senior adviser for the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, warns people against using the drug to shed pounds. The drug has to be taken forever to keep weight off, and it could lead to serious side effects. Instead, Hyman suggests cutting out ultra-processed foods.

I’m a Type 2 diabetic for whom this was prescribed. My weight was not an issue. I stopped using it because I was experiencing all the symptoms of pancreatitis. Now I’m concerned that it may have done permanent damage to my pancreas.
Also got Pancreatitis...horrible sideeffects 😥
Same here … everything you said.
I distrust any prescription drug that has it's on commercial jingle.
He’s 100% right. Diet and exercise is MUCH healthier.
I take it for type 2 diabetes, i only have had mild nausea with it throughout the week. I have been on it since March 2022. My blood sugars lowered and i lost 20 pounds as well.
It appreciate being able to take this medicine and hope it is available for the right people. Thank you Chris , it is great to watch you here.🤗🇨🇦
Well done!! 😊
Type 2 diabetes is a life style situation. It is completely reversible!
Just change your eating habits and take some herbs and supplements which can help you. I would not take drugs for something totally reversible!!
My husband is reversing it just with changing his eating habits and measuring his blood sugar to figure out what each food does to his body! Very simple!
He also started exercising and intermittent fasting.
He lost about 30 pounds in about 6 months or so
All the drugs isn't going fix obesity if you don't fix the behavior.
IMO crap like sugary diet drinks and fake water and ALL the awful Junk being marketed should be regulated just like alcohol and cigs.
FACTS
I wholeheartedly agree.👍🏾
FUN FACT: People are nuts
NUTS FACT: People are fun
Nuts are people too
I have thyroid cancer and an Endo suggested this drug who also denies I'm hypothyroid. BTW I never eat more than 4 carbs per meal and track blood sugar like an engineer. A functional MD identified I'm hypo though... conventional medicine is deadly...
And BTW Chris, speaking of lawsuits, there should be the largest class action suit in history against the American Diabetes Association and all their contracted educators promoting high carb diets. Did you know the ADA recommendations for carbs to a person with diabetes is the same as the FDA recommends to a person w/ out diabetes? The executives at the ADA should be in prison.
And our health officials act like they care about public health all the sudden? CV had nothing over the millions of preventable diabetic deaths yearly.
4 carbs? Do you mean 4 grams of carbohydrates or 4 carbohydrate sources?
@@j2174 4 total grams of carbohydrate. my goal is to never exceed 120 blood glucose 1 hr postprandial ... I can tolerate a bit more carbs if I add fat or fiber...
@@gem3639 so you only eat 12g of carbohydrates per day?
@@j2174 I usually try to eat one meal a day and sometimes I do eat eggs and bacon for breakfast. So I'm basically a fat burner rather than using carbs as my energy source. We don't need carbs to survive. It's not an essential macro. Check out Sarah Hallberg's TedTk.
Are you aware of any vegetarians/vegans who can get by with so few carbs (I ask because I have been one for many years). Beans have carbs so I'm thinking that maybe it's not possible.
Ozempic dangers
I'm laying here in bed because I took Ozempic (Semaglutide) for 3 months and almost died. This drug caused me constant bloating which made me feel full, but sick when I did force myself to eat. By the 3rd month the damage was done. My liver developed advanced cirrhosis which led to bleeding in my stomach and upper GI tract. I lost so much blood that my hemoglobin went down to 9 and I needed 2 units of blood at the ER. I had then scheduled a upper GI Endoscopy for 3 weeks later. But on the second week just before my appointment my hemoglobin went down to 5.1 and I became delirious and unconscious. My friends hadn't heard from me and broke into my house and quickly called me an ambulance. I was rushed to a nearby ER for 2 pints of blood they squeezed into me to stabilize me and then taken by helicopter to a major hospital where they had to squeeze 2 more pints of blood into me. They found fluids in my chest (dead blood cells) that has to be drained and performed the Upper GI Endoscopy where they had to band the bleeders. I had received 3 more units of blood just to bring me back up to a hemoglobin of 9. I was discharged a week later. My organs are damaged now and I have been seeing doctors 3 or more times a week. I may need a liver transplant now from biliary cirrhosis. I did have a prior fatty liver, but I hadn't had drink in over 8 years. There is a October 2022 published report from Indiana University School of Medicine of someone else my age (male 50's) that required a liver and kidney transplant after using Semaglutide for 6 months. The report found no other explanation for his diagnosis. My hemoglobin counts are slowly improving, but I am unable to leave my bed for more than a few minutes due to all the complications caused my body.
So sorry to hear about this harrowing experience. I hope you are doing better day by day, and wish you well on the road to recovery.
Dr H we love you I can’t even think how bad this is gonna be long term
I’m diabetic was diagnosed at 32, put on 2 types of insulin and a pill. Made me feel horribly sluggish. So, I started watching my carb intake, ate WAY healthier. In a little over a year, I went from 5’1 200 lbs… to 107 lbs. Now, I regulate my sugar levels via food and exercise (yes, I’m still diabetic). That sickly sluggish gross feeling… completely gone!! Eating healthy should be the treatment plan for anyone and everyone dealing with weight issues or weight related illnesses.
Damn, I wish I had your willpower. I'm 48, and went from 200 lbs to 191. Problem is, it's because I got covid and couldn't eat😄
I agree! I will say it is not easy, especially when everyone around you is eating all the time. Everything we do that is social is usually done with food. Thanksgiving dinner was hard as nails to participate in and not enjoy the carbs. I was so good, though. Now I am being very diligent about not having the junky stuff in my house. I only miss it every once in awhile. I’m determined. I have gone from 183 to 160 since September.
Statistically you’re likely to regain all the weight within 5 years. Because of…biology.
The medication motivates you to implement it not including this medication takes the sugar cravings away. These doctors do not listen to patients! I’m diabetic too but I’m obesity and before diagnosed I did all the things this idiot is saying to do and it did not work and why? Insulin resistance, pcos, thyroid, I could go on but mounjaro has boosted all of it 95 lbs down since June. This doctor needs lots of education and obesity is a chronic condition and it causes strokes, heart attacks, diabetes and a bunch of others. Ppl really think we like packing around all the pounds that we are just lazy fat people well I can tell u that’s far from the truth and we have tried EVERYTHING!!!! Way before the medicine
@@davidz1681 it's not really willpower. Eliminate the sugar and carbs and the cravings go away
The warning is good, but I’m worried that the warning will be too little too late.
I love to feel hungry, but unfortunately because of low metabolism I rarely reach that point. To me it is absolutely necessary to only have healthy bio organic whole food and I do that, so I maintain my ideal BMI. I agree with Doctor Hyman that fat people will remain that way, until they change their relationship towards food. Its not easy, I have been on a diet all my life, I have less or equal to 700 calories a day and its really science to get all the vitamins protein carbs (limited) and fat that I need to keep that going, its not a diet its how I live. I feel fine. No way am I going to go and take any medicines. They are always poison, and you should all stay away from those. I just dread the years to come where people who have been on this medicine to complain about stomach disorders and side effects PLUS even more weight gain! Today I saw in the news the CPO of NOVO in Denmark where I live stand up and brag about a net profit gain of 14 billion more than expected this half year results, just because of this hoax! The Shame. Rescue me! I want not to be danish anymore!
Just go Keto.
exactly
Keto does not work long term for diabetics
@@nicole2828 not for insulin resistance - you even need more insulin dose when you don't even eat a scrap of carbs.
Ozempic made me so sick I had to stop taking it after two months. Daily SEVERE nausea, stomach pain, it just wasn't worth it.
How did you detox from taking it?
@@1organicmom there was no detox, I never got past 0.5 on it. All I had to do was just not take it, but it took several weeks to get out of my system.
My sis put weight back on more than ever! after stop the Ozempic!!!! Her appetite came back ten times more!!
I know the same thing will happen with my wife, she wants to try it but I'm hesitant
I did Weight watcher for 3 years: put the weight back on when I stopped. I did keto for 1 year: put the weight back on when I stopped, I tried with a nutritionist (instinctive eating) : put the weight back on when I stopped. I lost more than 300 pounds in total in my life and always put the weight back on…now I’m on ozempic, I’m working out, eating healthy….and gosh if I stop and gain the weight back on…it’ll just be like everything else I tried in more than 30 years of dieting. Even tried the exercice more, eat good and less…put the weight back on. For some people like me, obesity is a real fight.
Similar to diabetes, Obesity is a chronic illness and requires long term treatment..you have to change your lifestyle and be CONSISTENT. No way around it, ozempic or not.
Doctor assumes prices will stay high forever, and you need to take the drug forever. Both assumptions sketchy.
Imagine how much we can save on fast food and medical expenses caused by obesity? The argument that it's too expensive to give to everyone makes no sense. And the price will come down when it's not patented anymore.
my husband couldnt get his ozempic for his diabetes.
It sounds like there are numerous side effects to this medication, maybe there is something better on the market.
@@ow3wells there's a shortage of all ozempic like drugs, bydureon and byetta were discontinued, lots want to use them for weight loss.
Wouldn't it be something if ozempic etc ended up making you more prone to developing t2.
Chris needs to do an interview with an Obesity medicine specialist that can eloquently explain how obesity isnt a result of eating more and exercising less AND explain how this isnt the simple fix for most of those who are obese. They NEED additional support, things in addition to lifestyle improvements as their own pathology has been altered and doesnt respond anymore to the simple fixes. Obesity is a chronic disese that needs to be treated as such.
100% true and good points!
It’s not a disease.
I started using it because I was diagnosed with diabetes last summer. I couldn’t take Metformin. My Dr prescribed Ozempic. I was already watching what I ate. I cut carbs and sugars out, even during the holidays! 😮 I have lost 25 pounds. If by losing weight and using Ozempic will keep my A1C down, I would like to stop using Ozempic. My whole family is/was diabetic so I wasn’t too surprised when I heard that I had it. I’m working on getting that number down and keeping it down so I can mark that off my list. ❤
I know a lot of people taking it just to quickly slim down and I feel bad for the people like you that actually need it. Good to hear you're doing so well.
@@davidz1681 Thank you
You can do it!! 💕
Jardiance will do the same thing.....but this med is also used for type 2 diabetes along with stopping heart failure.
Wrong- The Dr. just said it's $7800 a month. That's a whopping $94k a year. He just said he's concerned everyone's going to go out and buy it. How ? 🤔 By saying that you've lost all credibility.
I'm on Ozempic right now at 1 mg. and I'm 86; it costs $ 10.50 per month. If you aren't yet on Medicare (under 65 y/o) your cost will be $ 900. to $ 1500. per mo.
Generic, it's less expensive.
It's free to put the fork down.
I feel like this guy just rolled out a bunch of stigma and could benefit from more informed medical opinion here on obesity. Also you're already paying for the cost of morbid obesity and health related impacts
He contradicted himself he said everyone in the country is going to run out and buy this but then a sentence later he said it costs $7800 a month. That's a s*** load of money- very few people can afford that that's $84,000 a year..
@@jamesjazzy8040 I think he said $1700/month. Still crazy expensive. The drug company & doctors are getting filthy rich, they’re the only ones who are profiting. They’re probably in cahoots with Pepsi & Coke.
@@jamesjazzy8040 it does not cost that amount, this video is. Lot of lies and scarey BS... cost without insurance help is under 1000 a month and there is financial assistant available... also the thyroid issues are of a rare type not the common thyroid cancer.. Nd if you have regular blood work every few months you can see if it effects your liver and kidneys and stop or reduce it. So a bunch of scary hub bub
Exactly
I don't think he contradicted himself by saying that the people who take this shot aren't solving the problem. If people used the shot AND learned to correct their lifestyle choices that resulted in them being overweight/obese then that would be a great way to fight this problem. Since people aren't working on the root cause, they will either need to stay on this shot for the rest of their life or they will get off the shot and regain the weight they had prior since they have nothing artificially inhibiting their hunger for them.
Its a normal reaction to over population for human being to live with lesser food, and I mean a lot less. Years back a strict diet counted 1200 calories a day, today this is the max intake for many, and a strict diet would be 1200-500 calories a day = 700 my friends.
How is 700 or even 1200 calories a day healthy unless you are obese???
@@nataliedigiovanni4863 800 kcals is what I need to maintain a slim, not very thin, body, thats all. And have been on this diet since childhood. Healthy food are essential food, that means no cake, sugar, meat or a lot of bread. Its a very healthy diet, but most people will not give up junk food, that is the cause of some becoming not so healthy and very over weight, Natalie.
I would never take that drug I’m not a diabetic
Q: Are there any circumstances where insurance will pay for the shots? (i.e. if you have Type 2 Diabetes) Thanks
Depends on insurer.
I DONT WANT TO DO IN THE EASY WAY BECAUSE, I DO MY RESEARCH ABOUT EVERYTHING AND SEE MANY PEOPLE LOSING THEIR HEALTH THROUGH PHARMA DRUGS AND PLASTIC SURGERY SO LETS NOT GENERALIZE...EXCELENTE SHORT DOCUMENTARY, LETS TALK REALITY FOR CHANGE...HAPPY END OF AUGUST 2023...EAT LESS EAT HEALTHY COOK MORE AT HOME GO FOR WALKS DO EXERCISES BE HAPPY!!!
Great video!
I wholeheartedly agree.👍🏾
Why is this drug so expensive in the first place? It has no benefit to me. I am not overweight and have been type 1 diabetic since 1971. What pisses me off is over priced pharmaceuticals and medical school graduates like this guy who are incapable of addressing the problems in our healthcare system.
I have type 2 I would never take this
Same here.
Thank you❤ this drug is the new darling cash cow of a drug industry that is only in it for one thing…..and it’s not your long term health. RUN from this drug, as this doc says “it’s a losing game”.
Why is the drug so expensive??????
Cuomo should talk about the VAX . He should get another booster.
That Dr. Has a Million Dollar Smile!
My husband have type two diabetes for more than 10 years and he use metformin 🙏
My husband was type two; used Metformin far several years; Started having severe gastro issues; Had to go on Insulin; two different shots; long acting in the morning; and another one in the evening; Also had to keep Regular on hand far when it would go to high. He was never over-weight to begin with. He became what is called fragile; His sugar would jump to over 400 at times; would at other times bottom out; Had to keep glucose tube on hand. I would say stay away from quackery on the internet; Always rely on your endocrinologist.
My loved past away from taking metformin
In 2012 .
Good grief. Hearing about how you can buy the ingredients yourself to mix up to inject conjures up disturbing digressions. Need I say more? Here's one for you, Chris - ask your doctor friend to enlighten you about metabolic syndrome, a constellation of issues that tend to run together causing increased risk for heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Includes high blood pressure, high blood sugar, increased abnormal cholesterol levels, and increased body fat around the waist. Before the 80s was unheard of. We need some lifestyle changes alright.
PS , would make a good story on its own.
We don’t really need Chris or TV or UA-cam to educate ourselves about Basic Good Health Habits. Pay attention to several books or videos about health & the human body, eating for optimum health and longevity and how to prevent disease. Out bodies know how to self-correct and heal IF we respect them. What a concept. Most people don’t need pharmaceuticals especially on a daily basis. We’ve been brainwashed by drug companies and the doctors who profit by pushing their horrible products. STOP ALL THIS NONSENSE. Think for yourselves. Learn about The Blue Planet.
Avoid sugars and all processed foods!
This man talks like US healthcare is covering the medication for people. 😂🤣
Remember when they used to have good news on tv like we are building a dam and hiring 3500 equipment operators to get it done
Who I. Their right mi d would take it if your not a diabetic it could hsve very bad affects
why is so expensive?
they produce ozempic from gold?
So its about the money? Not the evils of GLP. And this from one of the biggest jerks in communications.
Peanuts make me swell up. Outlaw peanuts!
Or like we're building 50 powerplants in the next five years and hiring 20,000 knuckleheads
Why am I the only one taking ozempic for type 2 diabetes and haven't lost a pound? I'm destined to be fluffy the rest of my life!!!🥴😫
Lisa, that is what I'm afraid of. I'm taking semiglutide pill form the name of Rvbelsus only due to the side effects aren't as bad. Just started. Wish me luck.
You're eating too much to run a deficit.
@@shelbysycamore637 actually I'm not over eating at all. I just had surgery roughly 6 months ago for a colostomy bag. I'm not over eating at all. I have severe Crohn's so that isn't the reason.
@@Trendyviews. I hope the side effects aren't to bad. Good luck! 🙏💝
From what my sister said who has diabetes two and takes the med , the ones on for weight loss are on a much stronger dose that what she is on .
If the media is telling you not to do something, it's usually a good cause TO do something. Of course, get a doctor's advice, but these are the same people who told you quad-vaxxed people were "safe". I'm just saying.
Then go suck on some tobacco, Einstein
Quad vax people are overwhelmingly not dying from COVID while those not vaccinated are overwhelmingly dying from COVID. Fact.
Lose weight or your kidneys lol
Listen I'm type 1 diabetic as soon as u stop taking this u will gain the weight back and more
👍
That doctor looks 97
This is a hormonal issue Dr Hyman!
I’m obese and I need this drug to loose weight. I I’m in my 3rd week. The first week I lost 12lbs. The 2nd I gained 1lb due to my monthly cycle. Now I’m on my 3rd week so we will see. No I’m not diabetic and obesity can lead to diabetes so if this will help in addition to exercising and eating healthy then I’m all for it. 😊
I hope it goes well. 😊
rather take the easy way. reading a book and listening to a podcast takes too much work.
Eating real food. Ok. Easier said than some. It’s expensive to eat real food.
This wife is 30 yrs younger..
He has two adult kids who look like they are about the same age as his wife. I just don't see how that works out well, especially since he's been married twice before.
This guy has his diet that he promotes for profit(one that many dietitions warn against.) Of course, he wouldn't like anything else.
It works, the side effects are horrible. It gave me nasty gall stones, in which I had to remove my gall bladder. Once you stop the medication, you start putting the, weight back on. Your appetite comes back ten fold. The best way, is respect your body, exercise, take care of your mind and body, eat well and sleep. Obesity is choice. All the best success everyone ❤
Excellent post. 🏆
Great watching naturally skinny people talk about it. Metabolic syndrome is real and ozempic treats it. This doctor is against ozempic because it hurts his bottom line business.
you think he makes more money keeping people sick? he could prescribe it and make bank too. hmmm.
@@kite6864 the fact he is so quick to discount ozempic when it has shown to be the most effective treatment for weight loss…ever…shows me he doesn’t understand the root cause. I’m not saying he doesn’t promote healthy things- but he makes a lot of money on desperate people searching for a cure for their obesity.
@@mixedupfilesmusical4038 ozempic costs like 8k a month and these wackos want all children to be on it. The people who profit off misery are the ones selling you massively inflated pharmaceuticals...
@@Tribuneoftheplebs it costs about 1300 out of pocket not 8k. And if we had a robust health care system like most other civilized counties the cost of these medicines would be covered by the trillions in tax dollars collected by our government.
@@nicole2828 I’d recommend discussing that with an endocrinologist. Metabolic syndrome is when a body sends hunger signals to the brain when we are not in need of food.
POISON.
Humans are so selfish that it's an Achilles heel to the survivability of the species.
Why are none of the drug’s benefits mentioned? Both of you are not fully informed on the GIP and GLP-1 agonists. This guy talks about pancreatitis and thyroid cancer but none have manifested in humans. Only in rats. The cardiovascular benefits are great. If I had taken this drug at 35, I wouldn’t have had a heart attack at age 45. You both really need to do your homework.
Eat less exercise more .. get off your fat arse .. go for a walk .. clean your house ..swap processed foods for natural foods .. repeat every day ❤
