Let’s dive into a hot topic that has been making waves in social media and mainstream media lately -GLP 1 Agonists, aka. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. As a medical professional, I’ve spent significant time researching these GLP-1 agonists that are being used for type 2 diabetes and weight loss. Listen in as I explore the controversies, misconceptions, and benefits surrounding these drugs, which I personally believe can be miracle drugs when used appropriately.

You are awesome. I want to cry to finally hear someone who gets it. Keep Preaching, real and great health habits and solutions,
I am the broken that you are talking about. You have a new fan.
I agree!! I appreciate her advocacy!
I had a great experience on Ozempic. I'm a 36 year old woman who went on it for weight loss, and I'm off of it now. Lost 20 lbs I just couldn't lose even with all the intense exercises and dieting for 5 years. I promise you.....for 5 years I truly tried, and I gained lots of muscle tissue through weight lifting, but still held onto the 20 lbs of fat. I just could not shed it. I also am no rookie to strength training and dieting and for some reason I just could not slim down. And this stuff helped me. For me, it was a God sent.
I had minimal side effects, still had an appetite, ate good food, kept it down. The only downside was that I felt cold more often and at the beginning of a dose increase I felt more fatigued and a bit more nausea (not bad at all) the first few days. A week into the dose change, it all tapers off. That's about it....
Did you regain any of the weight after going off the drug?
@kirshens it has only been 2 months. So, nothing yet. I am watching what I eat, though, and I do intermittent fasting from 7 pm until noon or 1 pm the following day.
I also want to be very transparent and just mention that I do weight train (intensely) at least 3 times a week also. And I plan on losing another 15 lbs or so, and I'm just taking a 3 month break before I go back onto the medication. I will probably go back on it in July.
After that, I plan to go off of it as I will be at my ideal weight.
How long did you stay on it? Xx
@dixiedaye8851 about a year and a half, but I went off of it about twice during that time. Once was off of it for about 3 months, and then the 2nd time, I went off of it for about 2 months. I only lost like 20 lbs in that entire year and a half time. My point is that it didn't kill my appetite completely like it does for some. I still ate. It's just that I got satiated quicker than before. But I could still finish meals. It wasn't like I took one bite, and I was done, like how some people say they are when they're on it.
Hi I’m your same age and just started. I’m noticing similar things. Is there a reason why you went off of it during that 1.5 yr? Also what’s the longest period of time you were on it? Thanks so much for the input
I’m 61 and have been taking Ozempic for 6 months and have lost 50 lbs. I m type 2 diabetic, obese, high blood pressure for years, and have a lot of blockage in one of my arteries. I am supposed to see my cardiologist next week about it. I was told Ozempic won’t decrease my blockage but that it keeps it from getting any worse, which was the reason my insurance covers it. But it still costs me about $280 a month taking 1 mg weekly. I’ve been on 1 mg for about 2-3 months and really hope to stay there since it costs so much and I prefer not increasing it. It still keeps my appetite in check. I have given up alcohol, breads, rice, potatos, greasy or fried foods, processed foods and sugar. I’m very careful with my sugar and unhealthy carbs intake. My numbers are very good now and I feel it has helped me to get back to seeing and wanting good Whole Foods and resist the bad foods because the food noise is gone now. I still need to lose a good 50 pounds or slightly more maybe. I think it’s not right that we have to feel ashamed taking this medicine. Once you have lost some weight, people start asking how and it’s like you finally feel okay getting your picture taken with family but then you know people are going to see you have changed and start their opinions, which I don’t want to hear right now. Sometimes you have to be your own doctor and make choices best for you, but I definitely think you should be supervised by a doctor the whole way and get your blood work done during it.
I do find it difficult to eat beef and have had to learn what my stomach can handle. Some might handle it okand I try to eat a little once in a great while because I know I should. I eat a lot of chicken and seafood and pork, and nuts and also found a good protein shake for breakfast because in the morning I am nauseous and can’t eat but can handle the shake and help get my protein up. Eggs and nuts are great too so I’ve learned what my stomach handles and at first I was getting so nauseous and even vomiting because Iwas still not eating what I should on this medicine and it took me a bit to really learn about all the hidden sugars and carbs in some of the things I was eating.
Congratulations on your weight loss and improvement in health. Your comment is spot on!!!
We have similar journeys. Good luck to you!
@@coraq6000 thank you. And best of luck to you too.
Ozempic has done nothing but make me sick.NOT MIRACLES!!!!!!! 0:50
@@user-mv4bm6qz4c I was sick and still sometimes get queasy but not as bad. It took me awhile to figure out what I could and couldn’t eat that would make me sick on this medicine. I can’t eat greasy foods. Even beef can be too greasy and I only eat a little sometimes. If I eat too much, I have digestion problems. You are better having smaller meals that are easy on your stomach. I had to eliminate some things that I used to be able to eat but now can’t. I have some things that are my go to that I keep handy. I always have a container of homemade chicken salad on hand and can eat that on a flourless low carb bread I like. I have some strawberries with it. I keep salads, eggs, nuts on hand. Sometimes even baked chicken with the skin on can upset my stomach, sometimes not. Seafood helps. Find the things you like that work for you and keep them in your fridge.
Finally someone whos educating on proper use of this peptide. Thank you. So many videos on CZcams videos just tying to scare you off with over dramatising side effects
I am one of those people you seem to so casually dismiss. My pain was very real and took me almost 3 weeks before it completely went away. Show some compaction please. I am 73years of age and it was very very real to me. I am completely healed now and am grateful for that
I'm only half way through the podcast. Had to comment. I'm using compounded Tirzepatide. I am 56, super obese most of my life. I've had VSG in 2015, gained back all that I lost. I call myself a food addict. This medicine is literally saving my life. My starting weight on this medication was 392 pounds! I could barely stand, walk or do much of anything. I started 7/1/23. I am down 50 pounds! Tirz is saving my life. My "food noise" is so quiet now, it's the most amazing thing to not have food in your thoughts all the time. I don't plan on going off of it, just got the mental thing! Hopefully I can continue to get it compounded. But I love compound. I am in control. I can go slow on titrating up.
Its an amazing thing.
I eat correctly. Not exercising yet, I plan on it soon.
Update! On Friday march 15 I officially hit 100lbs lost all on compound tirzepatide. Miracle is the correct phrase! 7 1/2 months to lose 100 pounds.
@@sherrilynn6222 wow well done!!! Very happy for you. Can I ask, was it easy to lose the weight? Did the medication help make it easy?
@@sherrilynn6222 omg well done!!
Can you share what compound pharmacy do you use? Was it hard to start injecting yourself, you get over of the needles fear? 😅
@ellesab4873 yes...its the medicine thats making this possible.
My labs were off including a1c of 6.4. My doctor told me diet and exercise. I'm 57, my dad died at 73 with significant heart and cardiovascular issues for many years prior. I told my doctor, no that's not good enough; I want to be more aggressive. I don't want to go down the same path my dad did. Diet and exercise did not work for me for years so he ordered meds. I started ozempic 8 months ago and with diet changes I'm down 56 pounds. I am definitely seeing a good amount of muscle loss. I'm gonna get serious about strength training!
Make sure to consume extra protein!! That will help prevent muscle loss! 😊
Had you nausea taking it
I just discovered you today and this podcast and it is a breath of fresh air regarding all of the negativity and fear porn surrounding this GLP-1 agonist. I began semiglutide in April 2023 and cycled off of it January 2024 achieving my desired weight. I vowed to myself if I began to see the "scale creep" I would return to taking it which just happened this month. As mentioned I have been hearing lots of the negativity but had such a positive weight loss experience with it that I had no hesitation returning to it. I have also been doing all of the lifestyle suggestions you've mention in this podcast and while those things help I have found that going off of the semiglutide has not worked in terms of keeping the scale at my goal. I also lost muscle and saggy skin remains. I have to also add that I now work out 5 to 6 days a week doing cardio and resistance, including a very low carbohydrate, prioritized protein and fat diet. Hopefully my muscle will return.
I’m a functional medicine provider and am absolutely setting up my practice to offer peptide therapy to my patients. Literally 100% of them could benefit from this treatment AS A PART OF a whole-person approach. I don’t understand why my functional medicine peers are so oppositional unless they’re making a lot of money off their own branded supplements, which is a real problem in the functional health community. I can’t control the price of the peptides but I do my best to keep all treatment plans as affordable as possible (by not marking up or upselling, and by offering a sliding scale) since insurance doesn’t pay me.
Hi I am 81 years old. I started semaglutide about 10 months ago. I have lost 40 pounds and would like to have it go a little faster but I was one of the people who was prescribed this drug with very little information on what to do. I am still on a low dosage. I have never had any side affects except constipation. The only thing i feel is less hungry. I also try to keep my food intake in an 8 hour window. since I am not very hungry this works great for me. I have done no exercise so I am glad to hear that will boost my weight loss. I keep my protein intake at 90g and eat very little sugar.
67 and doing the same 8hr window. I have also reduced low fiber carbs and sugar ( body inflammation and pain way down). 6 months and down 60 pounds so can now get hip replacement to get moving again. Best of health!
57 yr F here. I was thin until menopause hit. I gained 150 lbs. Total cholesterol is 133, low blood pressure but prediabetic number. Diets would not work for me, Personal trainer was useless. I started taking Ozempic with a new doctor. First 4 weeks on .50 m dosage once a week. Lost 12 lbs. Intermittent fasting (no breakfast), no sugar, no fried foods. Drinking lots of water. Losing inches and pounds. I just started dosage of 1.0 m last Saturday. I will weigh and measure again Saturday. Double chin gone already. 3 inches off my waist. Only side effect, constipation. I have to take a a Dr. Tobias Colon Cleanse pill on a Friday or Saturday (it kicks in about 12 - 16 hrs later) to get past the weekly constipation. Loving the results so far. I have more energy, skin looking healthier.
Thank you for mentioning “growing neurons in the brain”. I almost teared up when you mention how it helps a person’s mental state as well. I just have started Ozempic and have heard numerous accounts that even before they lose weight that they have this mind calming effect. I myself am not obsessed with food while on Ozempic although i still have strong hunger signals when my body needs it. I have always been in a constant state of inflammation for decades including due to PCOS, irregular periods, eczema, psoriasis, and now high ALT and beginnings of fatty liver.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! 🙏 This is what I’ve been searching for to stay the course with taking these glps. I only turned to these out of desperation after trying everything! Every time I looked up information on these peptides it was all negative and drove fear into me so I stopped after a couple of months. I then went back on them because THEY WORKED and I felt better, but still had the doubts creeping in from peoples opinions.
I seen you on Dr. Hymans CZcams and immediately subscribed and have been binging on these videos ever since!! I’m so happy you had in mindset to look deeper into these peptides. I have no doubt it will help so many people ❤
Dr Tyna I cannot tell you how thankful I am for you. I am so tired of the huge effort to diet with little result. There is a doctor shortage here so I will go the online route. I eat really well but I will add resistance training before I start.
As fellow a chiropractor You really did your thing on this series. Miracle is definitely the right word. 👏🏿
Bio-identical hormones and microdosing Sandexa, and changing to ketovore diet has completely changed my life. Its like the clock has been wound back and I am where i was in my mid 30's (53yrs now)
I am not loosing muscle mass and my lumpy, bumpy, cellulitey legs are getting smooth again!
I have reversed T2 diabetes and my fatty liver is getting better.
The BEST thing of all us the pain from my RA pain has completely gone. When I stop the sandexa for a week i can feel the pain creeping back so I start taking it again and it goes.
It is miraculous how this can impact your life for the better.
What is bio-identical hormones...are those hormone supplements. Also what is considered a mirco dose-dose.
Yes, what’s a microdose please for you and also I’m thinking of taking this drug just because of my auto immune issues . I do not need to lose weight at all
This is the most informative and honest video I have seen on this topic! 👏👏
Same
Thank you for this video. I started ozempic 4 days ago. I have to lose 30lbs before I can have my right hip replaced. I also need both knees replaced and have gained 60lbs over the past 7 yrs due to injury and immobility. I was an athlete when I was younger and never had a weight problem. I had to go on disability from work over a year ago, had so much pain so going to the gym was impossible. Diets didn't work and I tried them all. Then depression came because I had no quality of life. Had to give up hiking, canoeing; back country camping and sports. I was afraid to try ozempic. So thank you for all the information.❤
I'm 60 and have been on Ozempic for 5wks now, no weight loss of yet. I'm type 2 diabetic, Obese and have hypertension, coronary artery disease . Heart failure. I'm hoping for the best for my health to get better.
How is your diet coming?
Dr you are absolutely amazing to share this information with the public and be truthful about this medication
Excellent podcast episodes for GLP1 agonists. I prescribe these wonderful medications for my patients and it’s changing lives. Thank you for the enlightening information and explanations.
Thank you!! I've been on Wegovy for a year and it's been a life saver, but the attitudes around me are astounding. I've even had to keep it from some family members due to their views. So ridiculous.
I am thinking about starting it I am just nervous about it. Are you nauseous at all ? Would you recommend it?
@@sheenastevens9059 No, never been nauseous on it. Unfortunately you cannot tell how you will be, but your doctor should titrate you up... start on the lowest dose and then go up to the highest. Good luck if you decide to try it!
I’ve kept bariatrics surgery a secret from certain family members and friends as well. A life change requires focus and its best to quiet the naysayers who try to derail you.
I'm surprised I watched the whole hour, but it was such a good and interesting video with amazing information! I agree with your theory about big pharma companies spreading rumors and not wanting people to have these peptides because then they will lose money when "sick" people no longer need all those meds. On the same note, it doesn't make sense that insurance companies are refusing to approve these "drugs" for use when it would ultimately save these companies money. Last thought, these peptides have been around for many years, yet some people are acting like these are new and untested "drugs". None of it makes sense. I say make these peptides available for all, even those that find themselves getting fluffy.
I was motivated by my sleep specialist to lose weight because I have obstructive sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. Thanks to tirzepatide I lost 35lb so far with more to go. My OSA has dramatically improved. But what else is amazing is my blood labs came back normal for the first time in my life ! Not only that … my primary care doctor took me off all my bp meds which were at the max dosage.
I increased my protein and also started lifting weights so I wouldn’t lose muscle !
Also saw a dietician and improved my diet.
These drugs definitely worsen RLS and initially made me very tired. I considered stopping the tirzepatide bc of that but glad i persevered bc that went away eventually
Thanks for sharing! I’m dealing with triple severe sleep apnea and my weight fluctuations have been a nightmare.
so appreciate your point of view and non-judgemental understanding approach towards obesity. I am a very obese person with type 2 diabetes and was on Mounjaro until January when my insurance decided it would not cover the cost. The first thing it helped me with was getting my A1C down and that combined with a very low calorie diet (Nutrisystem) I had lost 30 pounds in a short amount of time. After watching your video I am hoping to see my doctor and at least get on a lower dose from a compounding pharmacy [wish me luck]
Amazing video, thank you for your wonderful insight. I just started Ozempic at 0.25 and it's only been a month but the results I'm feeling mentally and physically are short of amazing. I am super healthy, eat mostly keto but I did want to get rid of my sugar cravings and lose those last 10-12 lbs. I plan to stay on the lowest dose for as long as I can.
Same here
Im a 45 year old orca fat lady and Im taking my first Ozempic shot tomorrow. I dont have diabetes or any effects from my obesity really but, shit gonna get real... I have a really bad hemroid that needs surgery. Friday, I asked my Dr about my weight causing the hemroid and she said yes. Due to my age my weight is starting to cause issues so Im nipping it in the bud before I do get diabetes or high BP. I eat like an active 12 year old boy with a sugar addiction! I get the impression Ozempic is like antabuse but for appetite.
Thank you Dr. Tyna. This is so informative. I am currently on Wegovy, and suggested to my wife to look into it. I am seeing great differences in my life as a result.
Love this Doc! These medications are a life saver. Keep up the good work!
Hi, I am a fit active 62 male. 5’10 165 lb with type 2 diabetes. I don’t need to lose weight. I tried Rybelsus lowest dose and the nausia was so pronounced I had to take an anti-nausia medication. The stomach cramps were unpleasant and frequent diarrea was hard to live with. Eventually I got used to it, lost 5 lbs then after a few months those symptoms suddenly returned and my endocrinologist took me off it. My A1C shot back up to 8 so today I am starting Mounjaro 2.5. I am hopeful I can tolerate the new gen better!
I have been struggling w/ weight/fatty liver issues & can't seem to get ahead of it (68 yo F). Depressed, fatigued, etc. You have relieved my fears about trying this! Hope!...thank you!!!
So fascinating. Thanks for the work that you do!
Extremely educational. Thank you so much for sharing all of this research in such an articulate way ❤
Thank you for giving a clear and different prospective and more concise information on this subject. I’ve been tossing up asking my Dr about trying this as I have many physical restrictions that make it hard to exercise and metabolic problems as well. I’ve improved a lot by going keto and carnivore but I fall off the wagon and gain weight back. Mostly due to being house bound and my family having lots of junk food around that make it hard. I think I’ll finally book an appointment this week. I’ve tried fasting but can’t stick to it.
Totally agree! That’s Ozempic face loss muscle. I lost -75lbs on Mounjaro. Halfway through I saw muscle loss then I started lifting 5 days week and 1g protein ideal body weight and now building muscle after plateau . Also take diet breaks to keep metabolism high
Thank you for your insight and wisdom and knowledge on your research and studies!!
Doctor, I so appreciate all of your information & much needed advocacy! It is greatly appreciated!
This is a great podcast. Thank you!
Thank u. I agree with all. I can’t wait to hear more from you
You're amazing! Thank you for all you do!!
I am so glad I found your site.
I am glad I heard this episode!!!!! Awesome and thank you!!!
2 minutes in and very informative!!!!
Thank you for the important information. I learned a lot from this episode.
Really informative video. Thanks for the solid info.
I go pick up my shot tomorrow my doctor wrote out script for bio identical hormone semiglutide excited
Pre-diabetic, high blood pressure, 33 lbs over weight, brain fog.
Your going on this drug and you are only 33pounds overweight. Whoa you need to rethink this.
Good luck on your journey!
They're literally saving my life, also my dr. Who is a functional dr. He was totally supportive.
Im glad i tuned in, recently went to the doctor and asked him for something he stated insurance would likely not approve it. I said why because i recalled 12 years ago him given me a injection medication and i lost like 35 pounds. I really need soemthing to help me lose this weight my joint hurt so bad.
Wonderful informative video.
Thank you for this topic. My gyn doctor want me to take Zepbound. He is just wanting to get approval from my cardiologist, because I have congestive heart failure and other diagnoses. I was so glad you mentioned how these drugs can help someone like me.❤
Thank you so mich ❤️
Finally!!! This was awesome 👏 I recently was discussing with my diabetic friend if these drugs were harmful, they'd be removed from the market. Seeing them now benefitting weight loss, reversing type 2 diabetes, and heart issues explains the fear-mongering, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) As someone in health insurance sales and soon-to-be certified health coach, I aim to assist people in navigating weight loss and maintenance using these drugs.
Thank you for this.
This is so needful. Thank you. I have had zero side affects
thankyou for this information
TY
Very informative
I just wanted to say that after hearing your guest appearance on Dr. Hyman’s podcast with Calley Means, I am very excited to learn from you! I’m curious how you feel about the fact that semaglutide increases insulin, which is something as a physician I have always tried to lower in my patients to improve metabolic health. I have wondered myself if this is one of the mechanisms (other than rapid weight loss and extreme calorie deficits like other diets) causes the lean tissue loss reported. Thank you!🙏🏾
Dr. Tyna!! Love your honesty!! DR TYNA FOR PRESIDENT! 😉
Thanks some really good points! I have been on Ozempic and did not change my diet so when I quit it came back on, like you say many times you need to change your lifestyle as well or it will not work.
I had body pain so intense that I had to go on prendesone to survive. Then I gained 20 pounds and could not get the weight off over a period of 3 months....despite a diet with no sugar and no white flour! NOW after 8 weeks I have lost 9 pounds and the pain is almost gone! It's a miracle for me!
Did it help for arthritis pain?
Wow
Thank you for this!! I am starting wegovy (semaglutide) of which I had to get from a compounding pharmacy because my insurance would not pay for it. I was surprized because of my high BMI. I plan on rebooting my weight loss journey. I lost about 50 pounds almost 10 years ago and I have gained most of the weight back!! 😢 I had a tummy tuck after loosing the weight and continued to do well. But when I turned 40 and got my boobs done, I feel like my metabolism changed!! So, I hope that this gets me where I need to be!!
THANK YOU ❤
Thank you for your research and presenting it. In February I was diagnosed with pre diabetes, it was a scary thing to hear. So I did one month of ozempic injections under the care of my doctor, and I can say that I didn’t have great results with weight loss, bcuz I didn’t do it correctly. (Eating healthy and weight lifting) I just started again yesterday, and am determined to do it right this time. Wish me luck! I really appreciate your info.
You got this!
Thank you for your research & intelligence I’m on Wegovy & you know far more about this drug than my primary care doctor who prescribed it to me
I think they release it as a diabetes drug because it is easier to get insurance companies to cover diabetes drugs than weight loss drugs.
Amazing❤
I would love to have links to the research you found! I am wanting to know more about these for our patients.
Thank you for your positive out look on ozempic. I have been on it for over a year on low carb diet it just starting to see inches coming off. I didn't get hear over night so its not going to go off that easy . I have notice imflamation is much less thats a plus . So thanks for your point of view it refreshing. ❤
This! Well said...loved your info....if were real...having a risky weight loss surgery poses more risks and if honest is unsuccessful for the long term...weight returns...problems return andcthen some due to the mal absorption after rhe fact, chronic heartburn etc...once everyone realizes its a tool only..the real work is ongoing with lifestyle changes and the emotional healing that goes with obesity and food addiction
Have you come across anything regarding reversal of hearing loss? I just have such a hard time taking anything pharma makes… 😢 but they sound great! Thank you!
Started semaglutide about 3 weeks ago. I used to have bad heart palpations and high blood pressure, but I'm losing weight and have more energy with no palpations.
Incredible! Thank you for breaking this down. I have been telling everyone that these are miracle drugs but people think I’m crazy-and misinformed.😂 Excellent work. Thank you!
Thank you! Do you use these at low doses for the fat gain from menopause?
I learned ao much
Thank you so much for all the great videos, teaching and advice. Could you please do a video for Metformin?
This very helpful, I’m not completely sure if weight lifting is need right now in my regime. Right now I walk 2 days week 1 hour. I’m definitely hitting insults resistance & loosing weight nicely.
What about hormonal balance and cortisol making belly fat subbon? Also water retention ? Would this not al be a good idea to go over before bringing it down to only insulin resistant?
thanks.
Thanks for discussing this, agree if its done right it will be great cure to many obese related diseases.
This is awesome! I am just starting but what do you mean when you say a low dose. My Doctor is saying 5 clicks is what I should start on. My Pharmacist kind of questioned that. Is .25 mg low dose?
I started on this at .05 I have gastroparesis was diagnosed a year and a half ago. I actually heard my stomach growl this morning for the first time in many months. I have lymphocytic colitis and constipation alternating. Since starting 10 days ago I haven’t had either! I’m 58 and just kept gaining weight even though I’ve done a leptin reset. I’m 10 days I’ve lost 6 lbs and the water retention had reversed. The doc who prescribed for me is a frontline doc. He doesn’t fully understand but was willing to help. I do have nausea but I have nausea almost daily anyway. My DHEA is very low and my energy is in the dumpster. I’m hoping it returns
Should add that I have hashimotos and cysts on my liver.
A carnivore diet would be really good for your hashimotos and colitis. Bpc-157, another peptide that she works with, is a miracle at healing intestinal tissue for some people. Lastly, look into compounded HCG or DHEA.
When you say pain would it help with damage nerve pain? Husband had three back surgeries and the nerve is “permanently” damaged. Would it help?
What brand/ type of peptides do you suggest. I currently take Sun Warrior organic Collagen Builder.
It quieted my food obsession and addiction, also i haven't had a drop of alcohol since i started a GLP-1.
74 and microdosing sounds like the right way for me. My gp, neurologist, and cardiologist are not receptive 😢
Parkinson’s, aldosteroneism, afib, dyastolic heart failure, diabetes. All would benefit from peptides. Northern Wisconsin, where can I go?
Emerge or ordelymeds. Check them out . Use the top pharmacies to compound. Redrock and Hallandale. Hope this helped
I tried Ozempic then had to go to the compounded while fighting insurance. The compounded version had appetite suppression but the food chatter didn't go away and the inflammation decrease wasn't there like Ozempic. The arthritic pain was markedly better even on the lowest dose of Ozempic.
Hello. I have taken my three shot. Wednesday the 22 of May ,2024 will be my 4 one. I have lost 7lbs as of today. I am so happy I feel really positive with myself. My medical conditions are this. I have type 2 diabetes, arthritis in both knees and I have a pacemaker with fibril-later. I have done weight watchers more then once. Last time I did it I lost 40lbs that was 4 years ago and it stayed off. Now I have these health issues that I want to not have. So I am hoping for type 2 to go away. Right now I am also working with weight watchers plan from what I remember. I am 66 years old and going to be 67 in December. So I am working with Wegovy ( not sure I spelled that right) and weight watchers together. Plus I have to watch my carbs and sugar in take because of type 2. I want to thank you so very much for all your videos you put out.
What you are saying is absolutely true. These medicines don’t have to be taken that often. Once you have lost the weight you tend to stick with those habits. You may be able to take it every other week.
The only side effect is perhaps fatigue. It’s important that you exercise to build muscle because you’re going to be losing weight quickly
It does help a lot with all kinds of conditions and it is a life-saving drug.
I have with it is the drug companies so much money off of this when they aren’t anything that needs to be that expensive.
Peptizthemselves are not that expensive.
Is the drug companies that have messed all of this up
I wish every Dr. thought this way and titrated the medicine compounds per patient and not just throwing meds at an issue.
What about becoming resistant to the dose? Does one up the dose consistently or just keep it at the same level?
Just out of curiosity...what is the drug you were referring to that has all of the extreme side effects that nobody is talking about? Seriously..just want to know for my own looky loos.
I appreciate your video. I've battled my weight since I was a teen. Im now 52. I decided to begin these meds thru compounding 1 year ago. Ive kept my dose low so that I still want to eat...but i eat like a "normal" weight person. I no longer think about food constantly and I am no longer a member of the clean plate club. I wonder "who is this person"? I love it. I was 185 after struggling to get to that from almost 200. I mean struggling. Ive lost 25lbs without any of the struggle. I'm back to pilates. Im fitting clothes. I feel healthy. I dont feel like its impossible anymore. This has been a miracle for me...i can imagine its even more so for those with diabetes or other severe weight and metabolic issues. This needs to be in every doctors toolbox for every person that struggles with this.
Does it heal bones and reverse osteoporosis in post menopausal women? Also, does it treat the pain of lipedema?
I wish we had more Drs like you and Dr Mark Hyman that care about their patients ..........MINDY
Starting semaglutide this week. Really concerned about nausea. Starting dose is 12.5. But I am thinking I will half that dose. Just wish I knew which dose would be best. I know I will stop using if I get nauseous all the time.
Dr, have you looked into mast cells as opposed to the fat cells as the root cause of inflammation and metabolic diseases
My daughter (21) is about 5’6” and at least 275 lbs. I personally work out and hike a lot and I know that is part of her resistance to moving her body. She says she’s happy with her body and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks and I believe her. She also doesn’t move her body unless absolutely has to for work. She works with horses and moves a lot at work so she’s at least getting that much done. She carries a lot of extra weight in her chest and backside. I guess my biggest question is how to influence her to want the lifestyle change for a heart healthy and long life. I selfishly would love to go one hiking and camping trips with her and I know she would never choose to move with me unless she was more comfortable in her body. I know she needs to want it but is there anyway to help influence that change?
Can you clarify if the concerns with type of semiglutide compounding pharmacies are using - salt form - is the term used- is there really any difference to be concerned with?
I wonder if my NP doc would be willing to Rx this for me. I have all the things you have described, but on top of it all I have Hashimoto’s.
I’m on Ozempic for 6 months now and have not lost any weight. On .5 and it seems to work for about 3 days making me not want to eat but after the 4th day I am eating like I’m starving and eating everything. I am unable to walk due to knee bursitis and in constant pain. I used to walk 3-5 miles a day now I can barely get up to walk a few steps. I was hoping this med would help with the weightloss. I like this med because I have no side effects from it other than being so bloated. I’m so desperate I feel I may have to fast for a week just to reset.
My fasting insulin went from 8 to 5 after I started taking tirzepatide 2.5 mg. I only went up to 4 mg, found out that was too much because I listen to my body. I went back down to 2.5mg. It works. Weight loss has been 40 lbs in a 5-month period of time.
I'm borderline diabetic. Which would you suggest Ozempic or Wegolvy?
Thank you for all the information. After my husband started it I said I'd never go on it, but here I am in my first week. I've been very concerned about gut paralysis, and you've put my mind at ease with that and a couple other questions I had. Toughest part for me will be trying to figure out how to get all the protein in. I raise chickens so have access to a lot of eggs. LOL Have never been a big meat eater. Taking collagen peptieds, 6 g per serving. As for exercise, my knees have degenerated to the point I can't go out walking. Hopefully when the weight starts coming off the pain will ease up allowing me to get moving again. You've given me a enough info to help me navigate this experience with more confidence. Thank you again.
