This may have been the most important video I have ever viewed. I'm 69 and a life-long binge eater. My doctor put me on Ozempic for diabetes. It is such a relief to not feel compelled to eat every morsel on my plate, especially in a restaurant. Ozempic helped me realize that my compulsion is in fact an issue in my brain. I am working on my binge eating with a nutritionist that specializes in eating disorders. Thank you so much for this video. It is life changing. I'm buying this book.
I hope you will evolve and be better. It might be a long way but you are taking the steps one by one 😊 you can be proud of you. Some people have a problem (and we all might get one) but never search for a solution.
Great conversation. I started mounjaro today (!) and came to a similar conclusion re risk/benefit. SUPER IMPORTANT to acknowledge that when the comfort eating blanket is removed (for some people) there has to be awareness about how to manage and find strategies for a whole new world of difficult feelings that have been stuffed down. Weight gain is such a multi layered and complex condition. I also loved the Japanese schools example and the call to action. Thank you both.
I think it’s like the food manufacturers today are the tobacco companies of yesterday. I also wanted to say I really liked this episode ! I started like yeah Ozempic, not concerned, what can we learn… and Johann Hari dives into more sociological subjects and you see that UPF is really a problem of addiction and that by working on the brain Ozempic could help for other addictions. And indeed it could change our economy massively if much more people were healthy. I think it’s one of the most interesting episode I watched so far. Thanks a lot.
This drug had made my mum feel awful and so sick. She has lost most of her hair. After taking the shot, mounjaro, she lays on the couch for days. She is also much more emotional and irritable. The risks are not worth it. I despise these meds after seeing what it's done to my Mum.
Listened to this on Spotify and found it extremely interesting. Picks up the baton/warcry somewhat from Ultra-Processed People. Thank you for leading such a nuanced discussion, as always. "Stolen Focus" had a big impact on our family life and Johann's new research will too.
Peptides are amino acids. As far as I know ow ami o acids strung together are proteins. I feel like I have gotten a lot of the same benefits from eating carnivore, but I didn't lose weight until I started trizepatide. So Interesting
There ARE other dietary alternatives to the two options i.e traditional diets, vs. GLP-1 agonist that Johann mentions when referring to his obesity problem. We know efforts to lose weight via cutting out fat and limiting calories doesn't work. Why? Because mostly the fats are replaced by sugar, which gives no nutrition, and no satiety, so you stay HUNGRY. Taking Ozempic and like meds certainly resolves the hunger issue, but at far too high a cost. The vomiting, constipation and nausea come about because you are creating, - amongst other things - a paralysis of the stomach and gut. For the rest of your life. How is that ever going to end well? The complete suppression of appetite allows you to starve yourself and you will no longer feel any joy in eating! What a huge impact on anyone's social life. What about the segment of society prone to bulimia and anorexia nervosa? Another a big one is the scary and significant risk of thyroid cancer? No thanks. The answer? Just cut out carbs and eat a healthy high fat diet This is a proven, healthy, enjoyable way of eating. More importantly it is proving to be effective in reversal of diabetes. It means eating REAL food, instead of over processed and fake food - drop the luncheon meats, added sugars, commercial sauces and dressings, seed oils, margarine.... There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate, so I eat minimal amounts of those. We must have essential fatty acids, - from fats, and essential amino acids, from protein. I eat with great enjoyment, steak, eggs, salads, olives, tomatoes, mushrooms, salmon, eggs, cream, bacon, non-starchy vegetables, seeds nuts, and even dark chocolate,,, the list is long. The results have been awesome and include an unexpected weight loss of 10K in 5 months, without trying. I take no medications, have wonderful mind clarity even at the age of 74, tremendous feelings of well being, sound sleep and drop in blood pressure and heart rate. Giving up sugars, rice, pasta and bread has been a game changer. Worth trying before putting your precious health at risk.

This was fascinating. So much interesting info. My husband is on similar meds and I've noticed so many of the psychological side-effects mentioned.

Great conversation. String research. Love the way kids in Japan eat.
Wow we should all take lessons from the Japanese … mind you I think Okinawa’s ‘Blue Zone’ is changing with the advent of fast foods ..
Could they be recommended to people who don’t have an issue with suppressing their appetite but still can’t lose weight despite it?
