What I believe is being overshadowed, is how Ozempic usage is a class issue - working class people that struggle with diabetes and obesity cannot afford the already hard to obtain medication necessary for their health, while rich celebrities can.Instead of putting healthy measures into place (exercise, healthy eating...)they turn to medication, which was the enemy to begin with. My mother was an R,N. and she had a piece of medical advice for everyone that I have followed with no regrets. She said, "Never take a new medicine until after it's been on the market for at least 5 years."
Yup… it’s not even FDA approved for weight loss use… and unlike the Covid vaccines ozempic wasn’t extensively tested by multiple scientists and medical professionals from all over the world.
The even bigger issue not being discussed is what cause GLP-1 to stop being produced naturally. Processed foods, preservatives, petrochemicals, PFAs, and pollution cause endocrine disorders, underdevelopment of the prefrontal cortex (behavioral disorders, addiction, narcissism), and henders the natural production of GLP-1. Rather than addressing the root causes, these companies fabricate a need, create a market to address that need, and then use supply and demand to to artificially inflate costs to insure maximum profits. It's basically the American way. Create problem. Blame the victim. Then sell them a magic pill.
Why didn't you cover the cases of people losing huge parts of their digestive track?? The stomach just quits working forever. Being on a feeding tube and dealing with a colostomy is enough to scare me away. Many fates are worse than death.
also, this is kind of a weird thing to say when plenty of people live fulfilling happy lives with colostomies and feeding tubes. these technologies save lives. disabled lives are worth living too
that's the part that irks me. I wouldn't mind taking a weight loss pill to lose some weight, but I'm not going to keep taking it once I get to my target 145lb. Whatever is considered the median for your healthy individual body should be when you stop taking it. Because then I'll look like a nasty skeleton. I used to be really skinny too, but that's cuz I was picky and couldn't buy lots of candy. I love candy :)
For the generations promoting "self love" so hard, I have never seen people failing themselves so bad while carrying that message. And they don't realize. How sad is that 💔
The problem is people are too scared to take responsibility for their actions, they'd rather see life as something that happens to them rather than their own doing, which gives them 0 capacity to self-control or endure any sort of hardship. That's why they'd rather inject themselves with medication instead of just eating less or higher quality foods.
Dude it ain't all like that believe it or not a lot of those Hollywood celebs are just using common bodybuilding coaches to get those physiques you didn't really believe they're eating broccoli and rice and gaining 25 pounds of muscle in their mid-30s without the help of pharmaceuticals
oprah has tried all those rich people's amenities. That will not get you to look like Oprah does today in her seventies. Lay people dont realize drugs with exercise gets Hollywood results. We sound childlike with our magical views on what healthy choices and exercise can do or believing thin is the pinnacle of health for everyone
Exaktly! Due to insulin imballance, I was made to take Ozempic and yes the effect is weight loss, better blood sugar levels etc, but with some financial burden to my family and certain urges to empty my stomach against my will after one bite too much 😂 And I have thyroid disease, so it's not really a stopper in the medication.
There is not a shoratage,your doctor wouldn't recommend it if you don't fit the criteria or if people who need it more than you are need it. Have you even talked to a actual doctor about ozempic orr??
@@fruitsnac9088that’s not true. Doctors do prescribe medicine for money, and the opioids proved it, and they were paid more if they prescribed more. And they earn way more if a patient without insurance, pays 1000-1200$ per month incl “advice”. And they only prescribe, it’s the pharmacies that orders medicine
@@fruitsnac9088 There is a shortage in my country...I wanted it as I am diabetic but in Australia they cant guarantee a constant supply and I cant risk not being able to get my medication. I do wonder if it posses a danger to those who aren't diabetic. I would love to see the stats on the side effects for users who are diabetic compared to those who aren't diabetic.
Right?! Check it out, botox causes facial muscles to atrophy from paralysis (use it or lose it). Semiglutide causes muscle loss. THAT'S why Kris and Scott look they've been stranded in the Himalayan mountains
My cousin passed away a month ago from the Ozempic intestinal blockage. She was a nurse and had sudden symptoms. She died on the way to the operating room.
My favorite was when my diabetic husband couldn't get his life-saving medication in the middle of a pandemic because a bunch of people decided it could help them shed some pounds. 🙄
@ One thing to keep in mind is that not all medications are processed the same way by the body, and not all diabetics are the same. Someone with kidney disease, for instance, can't take Metformin as as safely a someone with a healthy kidney.
You had it rough. I take Ozempic once a week for my diabetes type 2 and I feel nauseous the day after. I’ve never had vomiting, you just had the nasty version of side effects. Hope you’re better now.
Hi, hello, Medication Technician here. I inject Ozempic into my patients on almost a daily basis. I am 100% for Diabetics taking it, even people that have health issues that make it harder to lose weight, but what I am NOT for are these celebrities/influencers who are MORE than capable of paying for an amazing trainer with a workout routine + special diet. Leave the Ozempic for people who actually need it please!
Agree and make sure your using it safely. Like i know loads of people who take it and cos it suppresses your appetite you just dont eat which is insane. I can say ozempic has saved me from having a full blown ed
Why would people ever want to not be hungry?? Food becomes tasteless, fatigue and odd aches become your daily life, sores develop in your mouth and stomach due to nothing to drain the acid. Im someone with ADHD and an ED. This is my living nightmare. These people are insane.
31:03 the decreased muscle mass coupled with fewquent botox use is why some celebs have mire gaunt faces than others. Botox causes the paralysis of the muscles leading to muscle atrophy. If semiglutide also causes muscle loss, that explains why Kris and Scott look like that.
@@svenjaend5414 🤦🏻♀️ watch the video again hun. Botox injections do not stay in an isolated spot especially if the person is active during the 24hrs post injection. The injections target the nerves that are attached to the muscle. If you paralyze the nerves that attach to cheek muscles, then those cheek muscles will be affected.
My husband is a diabetic and his doctor suggested ozempic and he refused b/c he heard abt the side effects. He uses diet, exercise, and metformin to keep his sugar under control and lose weight.
Way to go, but he can be cured from the T2D, cut out all carbs. That's what I did, I eat meat and cheese, I lost 100lbs and reversed the T2D i had, had for 10yrs. Check out (Dr. Ken Berry) it's called the carnivore diet and it's the proper human diet. God bless
For ppl with diabetes they are given in a dose and therefore will never over use it ..hence less side effect, my lecturer was using it in England 2002 injecting in the classroom she had a nice body shape never looked like this!
I suffer from gastroparesis because of ehlers danlos. Gastroparesis (paralyzed stomach) is a side effect of ozempic. Life with gastroparesis is miserable. I can't eat, I live off fortisip and ensure (liquid alternative to food) and at least 4-6x a year I have to have NG tubes and TPN (IV nutrition). And when I do eat the pain is excruciatingly and causes vomiting and diarrhea. I can't understand why anyone would want to willingly make that gamble because a lot of ozempic users are now experiencing gastroparesis. It's an awful and miserable existence.
So sorry to hear. I've just said a prayer for your restoration. I'd say that most people starting this medication have no idea about potential side effects. I recently found that this medication is based on a peptide found in the venom of the reptile called "Gila monster" who is known for paralyzing small animals when it bites them! (it's called exendin-4 if anyone wants to research that)
This almost happens to friend she's diabetic 2 jabs is all she had they said had she had 3 she would of have suffered with stomach paralysis as it is she now has a heart problems she didn't have before those 2 jabs
Fun fact- the European makers of Ozempic can’t sell it for weight loss in Europe, due to restrictions on the grounds of its risks, so they sell it to Americans, because the FDA will allow anything if you pay them enough.
That's actually not true. Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro are all prescribed by doctors for weightloss only, sadly. Most of europeans countries health insurances even pay for it if your BMI is above 30. And everyone can get those medications if they are okay to pay for it.
Why does listening to this video sound like listening to your 10 year old cousin explain fnaf lore? Like. There a message. There's something there. But it's all over the place. We lost the plot like 4 minutes in.
I have pcos. Mounjaro lowered my blood pressure to a healthy range, helped me lose 60 pounds, fixed my high cholesterol, and fixed my insulin resistance. It also calmed chronic inflammation I was experiencing and brought back my periods, which I had previously lost from PCOS. I have had zero negative side effect and never want to go back.
@@sarahk09221that's definitely something you need to go over with your doctor. Any medication will come with risks, and it's just a bad idea to make health decisions based on internet advice
How can you be a weight loss coach but can't lose weight on your own the natural way? That's not a coach that I would want to follow. She isn't setting an example for her clients.
I mean... I could coach people to lose weight easily and naturally but cannot really do so myself... but they'd have to be healthy whereas I am not. (Spinal injuries and thyroid problems.) So just cause someone is chubby doesn't mean they cannot coach weightloss well and may know what they are speaking about.
@MandiMalice-y9y I agree there are special circumstances. It's the same as if you go to an overweight nutritionist that maybe had some sort of reason as to why they are overweight but they are still knowledgeable about their field. But far as the weight loss coach it's more encouraging when you see them lose weight by using their own methods that they are teaching the clients. That's basically what I'm saying.
There's a difference between having the knowledge and your body complying. It doesn't always. Some health conditions handicap your ability to maintain a healthy weight no matter what you do
Hello everyone. I’m Gracie and I’m here to warn you about the horrors behind Ozempic: Ozempic works by literally slowing down digestion, which is one of the worst things you can do to the human body. Many people are starting to develop gastroparesis as a side effect, which means the digestive system becomes paralyzed. It causes massive pain , excessive vomiting weight loss, and in worst cases, death if you lose the function to eat. I never took Ozempic a day in my life but developed gastroparesis after a botched miscarriage surgery. I can assure you, gastroparesis is a nightmare, as I myself almost died after going down to 80 pounds! Every day, I have to fight just to keep my weight at 105. Stay away from Ozempic!
I have cerebral palsy, ibs, and gastroparisis, I’ve had gastroparisis without even taking ozempic and have had it for years. My thyroid doctor recommended taking ozempic due to weight, but it was too expensive and my insurance didn’t cover it. And at the time my parents didn’t feel right about. I’m still struggling with my health problems but hopefully I’ll be able to find solutions soon.
@@woopwoop-pc5dk Me too! This fear mongering is getting out of hand. I have used it for 3 years and, apart from the odd upset stomach, have never had a problem with it. It actually lowers my blood glucose levels dramatically and has probably saved my life. Yes you lose weight with it, but that side effect doesn't last forever... I experienced the shortage for around 3 months but thankfully I'm able to get it again now.
@@woopwoop-pc5dk it’s good you ignore it because it’s not intended for people who obviously need it, like you. I’m talking about people abusing it for the vanity. Not those who need it.
What I believe is overshadowed is if food manufacturers were more humane and didn’t stuff garbage with addictive chemicals their own rich kids wouldn’t be using it - oh wait it’s cuz their kids don’t eat the garbage they produce
How much longer until they start selling weight loss food that is fast food Like food with weight loss chemicals in them, but it tastes, and looks like fast food
It is causing pancreatitis in people, my daughter being one of them. The research barely mentions it but to see my daughter in so much pain was scary. She cannot take ozempic now
As the wife of a type 1 diabetic and the sister-in-law of a type 2 diabetic, I also have hated this since day 1. I also hated when it was a TikTok trend to wear a CGM in the fitness community to track their blood sugars for macros, it created a temporary shortage and not having supplies in my area led to a horrible low we didn't catch in time during my hubby's sleep.
They're taking drugs because they're too lazy to lose weight the normal way that type one diabetics require to SURVIVE. To the point of there being a shortage. How is that not disgusting?
I was on it 5 years ago. It was called Saxenda, I lost 41 pounds first month! I was only 176 and my dr said I was obese . Biggest mistake of my life. I had no idea what it was. I have the bellybutton hernia, I can’t eat for days, I don’t get hungry . I have literally every side effect. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DO NOT TAKE IT! When you stop taking it. You gain it all back. Anyway I lost 88 pounds in less than 4 months. I haven’t felt good one single day since.
so you're less than 100 lbs? If so, that is why you do not feel well, that and the fact you lost an insane amount of weight in a short time. I hope you are healing and have gained some weight back.
The problem with it, is it doesn't actually fix the bad habits that got people to their weight in the first place. So when they loose the weight, they are horribly under nourished and have many vitamin and mineral deficiencies that age you horribly.
WOW that woman saying that obese people NEED meds to lose weight and be normal is *SO DANGEROUS* Thats going to make people feel hopeless without it, and they all seem to forget how expensive it is for people, not to mention theres lots of ppl like me who do not qualify to take those meds because of underlying conditions. Its so dangerous to tell people they need one specific thing to fix their problems, especially when you dont even know what their problems are.
I used to take Ozempic but I switched to Wegovy. I heard it’s the same medicine in a different pen, but I’ve been on it for a whole year now. What should I change my plan to? ( I’ve been trying to work out, but I can’t get a steady plan of when to do it because I have a lot going on )
I’ve spent my life dieting and exercising. Ive been on prednisone for the last 6 years and gained 100lbs because I couldn’t stop eating. I finally went on ozempic and stopped obsessively eating and thinking about food. The free time that gave me afforded me the time to go to the gym consistently and start working with a dietitian. I haven’t had any side effects. I have lost the 100lbs, my blood pressure is normal, my cholesterol is normal, and while I still have another 50lbs to lose, I don’t plan on ever going off this medication. I’ve been morbidly obese since I was a child. And frankly it’s a miracle I’m not diabetic given my long term steroid use, kidney transplant, and weight. Obesity is a disease. Long term obesity causes irreversible hormonal changes in the body, which is why 95% of people who lose weight gain it back. There are some people who simply CANNOT lose weight without treatment for this disease, regardless of how much people want to bury their heads in the sand.
@@BoringTroublemakerI am SO PROUD of you! Wow!! 100 pounds! 🎉🎉 I've been on Ozempic since February & I've lost 55 pounds. I am 47 years old. I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure and COPD when I was 34 and 2 years later Rheumatoid Arthritis. I've been homebound since 34 and I'm on 3ltr O2 24/7. I gained 100 lbs in a year. Depression and not being able to get up and move has wreaked havoc on my body. Do you have a certain meal plan that you go by? I would love to hear more about your story if you're willing to share. 😊
It also worked for me, I just found out I lost 80 POUNDS! I feel proud of myself that I didn't force my weight loss success and was patient and healthy enough to trust the process.
Learning to cut a bit off from your meals every day and by the end of one month, you’ll be surprised a😢how much you actually eat compared to the beginning. We also carry a water bottle all the time and that affects how hungry you feel.
I’m a t1 diabetic, my endo suggested it because my A1C was stuck above 8 and I was struggling with insulin resistance and weight management. I’ve been on Zepbound for 7 months and my A1C is 5.7. I’ve lost about 60 lbs and do strength training 3 times a week. This medication has been life changing for me, I never thought I would get my A1C in range
Same!! My A1C was 9.8, and it was stuck, my weight was stuck, I couldn't get my sugars down but Ozempic helped that. After a couple of months my A1C is down to 7.1 and my sugars are under control (I don't need to use as much insulin and not as often). I however have not lost any weight. Zero. NGL, I'm a little upset about that.
@@PhoenixRising883that happened with me too!! Even with exercising multiple times a week! I'm happy my numbers are much better but dang, I was hoping for like 20lbs too😅🥹 I wonder if weight loss happens more if you abuse it/don't use as intended
Kelly Osbourne doesn't even look like the same person anymore. Like not even close. I would have never known that was her if the announcer didn't say so. It looks nothing like her
Oh please!! Oprah keep our opinions to yourself. I don't believe a thing she says, i don't trust nor believe her 😠 she doesn't care about anyone only her popularity and $$.
Yeah she's a grifter for sure rule of thumb I don't buy anything any celebrities endorse health or food wise and political wise just a good rule of thumb
I am a diabetic and my doctor prescribed it for me. When I expressed concerns about the side effects, she became extremely agitated and hostile towards me. It really,y turned me away from the med and I am glad it did.
"Over-eating is also an eating disorder." Quack. The so-called "over-eating" is a symptom of hyperinsulinaemia or other hormonal disorders. The biochemistry dictates the behaviour!
As someone who suffers from chronic pancreatitis, and has been hospitalized 11 times for it, I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. It is a pain that is indescribable. Its scary and can come on somewhat fast at times. (Everyone is different, and you may, or may not, experience symptoms early on) It is SO BAD. I urge antone who has any signs of an issue with these meds, to please seek medical attention as soon as you possibly can.
No, it is not. Being "a bit chubby" is a symptom of insulin-resistance and hyperinsulinaemia, which is the primary cause of T2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease and many other chronic metabolic diseases. If you are "a bit chubby" means you are severly sick (even if the disease haven't manifested itself fully) and that you are eating the wrong stuff which makes you sick!
Bro I'm diabetic and have thyroid disease (underactive) and I literally need Ozempic because it's one of my medications (and I don't have my own private insurance yippee). Of course people who don't actually need it who take it are at risk of getting sick etc. They cause shortages for us, who actually need it, and then complain when they get side effects with their unneeded weight loss. But I do want to make something clear; if someone is taking ozempic for morbid obesity and it's comorbidities then that is a valid health concern. Morbid obesity is a serious impact for health and is not the same as people using it to lose a couple pounds. The cancer warning was also only detected in mice, and mice are historically not the best animal to predict human health outcomes because our bodies are so different and dosing is so different. There has been no evidence yet of it being cancerous to humans.
Not only did they cause a shortage but prices for it went up! It’s disgusting! People that want it for cosmetic should pay full price or more and ppl that NEED IT should have 1st dibs
@@plantlifeforever6994 Here where I am in Canada, and in the US, it's all prescription but some doctors have been prescribing it to people who just want to lose a few pounds etc :(
@@KeroseneSkies jesus 😳 surely they are aware of the health risks? I feel like if the person isn't morbidly obese then they should be taking doctor's licenses away for prescribing it to people who don't actually *need* weightloss
Another issue is that you may lose weight but I imagine when you stop taking it (if your not folllowing a healthy diet and changing your habits) your just going to put weight back on. Surely you can’t stay on it forever 🤷♀️
I worked in a pharmacy and these drugs are ment for lifelong medical conditions. So when people take it just for weight loss, they would have to keep taking it forever or eventually learn healthy habits. If not all the weight will come back after you stop, if not get worse.
Learning healthy habits goes completely out the window when you get off the ozempic. I can eat for my health no problem when I'm on it because I don't think about food or crave like I do off of it. I have all the intellect to eat healthy and can establish a routine and menus...but once those hormones aren't being suppressed it doesn't matter that you know better or have good meals planned, you're still hungry or want foods you know aren't good for you and that battle sucks. Hormones drive behavior more than we'd like to give them credit for.
Exactly you're better off saving your money changing your habits and hiring a coach or nutritionist. It's so annoying how ppl will do anything but change for the better. Oh and working out is free. So is motivation.
My cousin passed away from it. She was over weight and her doctor prescribed this. She started having symptoms and complications from it. She died and was only 52.
Yo I'm so happy somebody did an article about this because I literally was like 2 days from buying this because my doctor is like demanding me to lose 65 lb in 6 months cuz I am like overweight close to a obbes almost in their terms oh my goodness y'all literally just saved my life think you I'm just going to hop on this treadmill
More about diet than exercise. Try cutting out things like hot processed oils (vegetable & seed oils), ultraprocessed foods, and (most) sugars. Natural sugars like fruit are fine, honey is fine, etc. I wasn't even trying to lose weight (I'm very small and NOT overweight!) and I lost 10lbs doing this. A lot of preservatives aren't very good either, messes with the hormones in your body... which, in turn, can make it hard to lose weight.
As long as there’s a shortage of glp-1 medications, which there is worldwide and has been since 2022, I don’t think people should use ozempic unless they’re actually diabetic. It makes it even harder to get for people who depend on it. In Norway you’re not allowed to get glp-1 medications unless you have diabetes type 2 while there’s a shortage of medication. When there’s not restrictions because of shortage, you _have_ to qualify as overweight, so you can’t take it if you want to lose weight if you’re already not overweight, like some of these people are, and when you’re no longer overweight, you’re not allowed to continue getting it. Edit; changed from “whose lives depend on it” to “who depend on it”
....as someone who worked in the pharmacy field, generally non-diabetics should be afraid of this med.... use topamax first people, it's cheaper, safer, and there's much more of it...
There are many many drugs for us diabetics. What do you think we did before ozempic ?? I can't believe the ignorance out there I myself have been on 6 different injectable insulin. 5 different diabetic tablets . Do you think it's ozempic or death ?
@@Rollimggiant Also, it’s often prescribed to diabetes patients who can’t control their blood sugar with tablets, so just taking tablets instead doesn’t work for everyone with diabetes.
Ozempic was approved by the FDA for diabetics, not for weight loss. The doctors giving scripts to non-diabetics for Ozempic should have their licenses revoked.
Yeah I’m an emergency department RN and I will tell you nearly every other shift I have a patient on one of these weight loss meds with SERIOUS side effects. Just avoid them, please. Even if you don’t have the side effects at first- good luck not having long term complications when coming off of it.
Being overweight is not a mental health disorder. We're evolved hunter gatherers and need to adapt to having rivers of junk food lining our shelves. I regained weight after grief and covid but 75lbs off from just learning about volume eating, carbs moderation, weight training, fasting in moderation and cutting out certain junk foods. Keto was a good Kickstart but the food tracking apps like fitness pal or macrofactor are so useful. Please don't use these drugs, it never ends!
Ah yes, evolutionary psychology. Clearly we should judge the reasonableness of our decisions based on what a caveman would have thought instead of judging them with reason.
Thanks for this video. My hubby recently diagnosed w diabetes and was given this 6 months ago. I have seen no weight lost and always has stomach issues. I told him to stop it but the drs dont help saying it will get better.
Hm 6 months is a long time, on the other hand, my sertraline also takes roughly 6 months to adjust. Ozempic starts working at 1 week and results show at 8 weeks+ . On the other hand, he's only using it to control his type 2 diabetes, not for weight loss. The FDA hasn't approved this for weight loss therefore there isn't any recommended dosage for that. So if it's controlling his diabetes, then I probably would not stop taking it, OR I would ask if there's an alternative type 2 diabetic medication
But that's probably why he isn't losing weight, cuz the objective is just to lower his blood sugar to acceptable levels, not necessarily lose weight. I'm guessing that people who lost weight on Ozempic were on higher doses.
I suffer from pancreatitis after a doctor gave me an overdose prescription of *antibiotics* I wouldnt wish pancreatitis on anyone. It is horrible! You cannot eat the same ever again. Please dont risk it ladies...
I think the problem is simply how processed our food is these days. Look at the nutrition facts on any food package and the sodium content is crazy high. If not the sodium content, it's the sugar.
@@siobhanolsen8689 It does but its best not to continue Ozempic after wards, pancreatitis is a serious thing and if you keep harming yourself by taking it then you'll seriously hurt yourself.
@@melissajacobs5822 Not long maybe a month and a half. I also got diagnosed with gastroparesis but it all got narrowed down to being because of the Ozempic since my life style had not changed, the only new thing was Ozempic.
My dad just got out of hospital with pancreatitis, he could barely eat for like a week and his blood sugars were super high because he has diabetes so he lost a visible amount of weight even in just that week, when he got out of hospital he looked like these ozempic celebrities 💀💀 like. He looks alarmingly sick. He looks thin and frail and tired, like he's malnourished. And so do these celebrities. Why would you want to take something that makes you look like someone who is severely ill
They definitely have EDs or dysmophia. My grandpa became sickly (under 120lbs) and blending ensure into "milkshakes" helped him get some weight back! Maybe it could help your dad?
I’m diabetic, I’ve been on ozempic for about 4 months. I also have endometriosis, and a couple years ago I got on Oralissa for it. I gained 20lbs in two months. By the end I had put on 50lbs. I was trying so hard not to gain weight and nothing I did mattered. I wasn’t able to lose any of the weight and my blood sugar kept getting worse and worse. I was avoiding ozempic because of all the bad things I see online. I’ve almost lost all the weight and my bloodwork has been better all around. The only thing I worry about is that I’ll just gain it back if I stop taking it.
I constantly thank my lucky stars that I am not into social media or it's culture. Nobody has a mind of their own. They dress alike, talk the same, get the same procedures done. Ridiculous !
Excellent video thank you for sharing. It SICKENS me that there really was a shortage for these meds that are NEEDED by us diabetics. We dont take it for fun but to continue living. Has anyone thought about when they stop taking the injections how their body will then cope with making insuline and doing the job it hasnt had to do for months since using meds NOT meant for healthy bodies regardless of weight. How are thier liver and pancreas going to fair. Anyway, Blessings to all however I do hope users do seriously think of how damaging it will be to those diabetcs who need this medication as well as their own bodies. Blessings to all x 🙏🌹🦄
I'm sorry to hear that. The shortage may have been caused by the uptick of ozempic users from people seeking off-label weight loss solutions. In this case, the producers just need to hurry and ramp up production. Because I dont see this usage going away. The medication exists, it's just the injectable vessels themselves are in short supply.
There’s no shortage of the actual meds, just the pens.. obesity leads to diabetes. It’s nearly impossible to loose weight naturally with PCOS/insulin resistance.
@@sophiastachelsky576 I think youll find it depends on where you are regarding shortages and its not only obesity that leads to diabetes my friend, some of us have other serious diseases that through time also cause diabetes. Im not against help for losing weight in any way, I am against using PRESCRIBED medication for it that is NOT meant for that purpose. Blessings.
My cholesterol is great, a1c is down and I'm no longer on blood pressure medication. Everything, including the medication I was on before this, also comes with risks. It depends on what risks you want to take.
Ozempic really, really helped me improve my diabetes. I didn't experience any side effects whatsoever. No vomiting, no gut health issues, none of it. That is in large part because I'm the type of person the medicine was designed for. I'm currently fighting with my insurance to approve more for me, my doctor is too. It shouldn't be this difficult for the people the medicine is FOR to get it. There's a lesson here in not taking medication that you don't need. You shouldn't ever be taking medication that you don't need, and it's incredibly frustrating that I can't get this life changing medication because rich folk that don't need it are buying it all up.
“20,000 steps a day”; 10,000 steps already a workout let alone 20,000. It don’t mean a thing as you can’t outrun a bad diet. It’s not just about movement and exercises. It’s easy to overeat 600 -700 calories, which is what you burn for 10,000 steps. The behaviour and lifestyle changes, tools to eat healthily don’t come on label with Ozempic boxes.
My mom started ozempic a month ago without telling anyone and it gave her severe insomnia. She couldn't sleep at ALL for nearly an entire week. It was only after taking her to the ER that she admitted that she'd been taking Ozempic. She's never going to take it again.
Once the body gets below a certain caloric deficit it becomes impossible almost asleep that's most likely it was going on with your mom and I'm sorry that she had the experience that and glad to hear she's off of it
I’m diabetic, have PCOS and take ozempic. I’ve had to deal with pharmacies running out of it because people who aren’t diabetic are getting it. For me , it controls my sugar and lowers my A1c.
"For me , it controls my sugar and lowers my A1c." This is bad because you are still poisoning your body with sugar. You have to change your diet and then you won't need it.
I was athletic and that kept my weight down. I was never classed as obese when I wasn’t active, though I didn’t have the desired dress size.. Since becoming disabled with a spine injury and being put on drugs that increased my weight by 15 k, I came off the pain meds as I was worried that surgery might be complicated. I couldn’t shake the weight because I couldn’t exercise. I was great at watching my food intake and doing the right exercise before the injury. I do believe that if your mobility is fine, then you don’t need it. As soon as I have my spine surgery, and the outcome is positive, I will be more able to control my weight naturally. For now I think influencers have a duty to show the down side as well as the good side. If you are neurodivergent, I wouldn’t advise its use.
I’m taking it for pcos symptoms, but I think what’s forgotten is that for some (not all) it’s a 2-way street. I was extremely disciplined years ago starting a weight loss journey and lost 60 pounds. The medicine might have its perks but mental health and physical health is most important… doing the actual legwork (especially with a balanced diet) is going to help a lot more being on or off the medication.
ozempic reeks of phen phen. i have several loved ones on it. i wish they wouldn't take it. my friend nearly died from it. my husband is on it. he hides the papers that talk about the side effects and tells me i'm "just paranoid" when i tell him this isn't safe. i wish he'd just come workout with me. i've lost weight successfully after 10 (yes 10) pregnancies including a set of twins. the hardwork and healthy eating is much better and healthier for your body than medications that starve you
Yes! I think a lot of people are too young to remember that but I do and if I remember correctly, wasn't there a class action lawsuit after a bunch of people had serious complications? That's what I'm envisioning will happen with Ozempic in a few years' time
As a thyroid victim and currently overweight i am now glad my doctor denied me ozempic. its clearly for people fighting diabetes, not a short cut to weight loss. it doesnt burn fat. thats what it is. NOT A FAT BURNER. there is no miracle in weight loss. Stay healthy
That paperwork STATES that you should have a certain BMI and/or comorbidities. So if you choose to take it with 20 pounds to lose and you don’t have diabetes or any comorbidities - I DO NOT FEEL BAD FOR YOU.
Living longer and healthier is my goal, and losing weight is a factor in it. I've had a life-long diagnosis with a genetic liver disorder. I've struggled with body image since middle school. Since my early 20s, I've been diagnosed with migraines, depression, anxiety, obesity, fibromyalgia, fatty liver, and SVT (in that order). The only success I've had losing weight and allowing myself to safely exercise and be healthier, has been Wegovy. I'm in a privileged position where the cost isn't a problem for me. I'm in monthly contact with my provider who, after discussions and counseling, thought this was the safer option than weight loss surgery. I think that if your primary, dietician, and hepatologist all say "you should take this," then you should take it.
Anything that lowers blood sugar is going to suppress hunger. Going on a carb diet suppresses hunger. What lower blood sugar also does is get rid of a lot of water retention which makes people appear less 'puffy' or bloaty. Finding the very worst examples of Hollywood people who probably are on drugs is kind of fearmongering imo. I believe that the problem is doling it out to people who don't really need it and only eat junk. It's for people who have diabetes and useful for the morbidly obese along with proper nutrition plans, it shouldn't be given to people who can be at a healthy weight with regular diet or exercise. That's the real problem with the medical industry they're too greedy to say no to $$$.
So I think I'm a really good advocate for ozempic and here's why! I used to be 525 and pre-diabetic, I remember being put on Ozempic way back in 2019 and 2020. It was brand new at the time and my, endocrinologist make the suggestions to try it out... y'all. I don't think people understand what this medicine does to you. Everyday I felt like I was dying, worse than when I had high blood sugars and didn't take my insulin 🤔 Not to mention there's constant sulfur egg burps, your stomach digestion is almost non-existent, so you're either blowing up a bathroom or you're constipated. And if you're not like me and have a whole bunch of extra fat for the Ozempic to burn off, you still risk "Ozempic face". I was at .5 dose and got all the way up to the double dose 1.0 and, my dad was on it as well but he quit way early because it was just making him feel TERRIBLE .he's also was diabetic We eventually just stopped taking it because I started not being able too function properly on the MENTAL level, since you're missing so much fuel, your body is taking longer to respond to messages to the brain 🧠 It was really scary seeing your body slowly deteriorate right in front of you 😱
It was really scary seeing your body go through changes, more scary than getting to about the weight of 3*average people apparently? 525 is ridiculous.
@baum7des7lebens7 Even natural food isn't what it used to be. Since the chemical revolution of the mid 20th century, the levels of nutrients and micronutrients in our food has fallen through the floor. The only way people today can eat as well as people 70 years ago is to shop in only the most expensive organic food stores.
I heard these things can cause gastroparesis. I have that. When it flares, it's horrible: I have to take anti nausea meds if I drink a full cup of tea. Your stomach empties too slowly, and you vomit if you eat a normal sized meal, a small one.
I would recommend walking after a meal, drinking a lot of water, and eating smaller bites, if you aren't already. That should alleviate *some of your issues. That sucks though.
My mom is in her sixties and has been using ozempic. It’s prescribed because she was pre diabetic but she’s had two fainting episodes this year with no explanation, when this has never happened before. She’s also definitely lost muscle mass and I’m pretty concerned for her.
"Ozempic face" looks a lot like just "the effects of rapid weight loss". Yes, rapid weight loss can be dangerous-- it's not more dangerous than severe obesity or uncontrolled diabetes.
Yes this video keeps conflating those with diabetes and the severely obese with those who are a healthy weight and want some kind of unattainable Hollywood body.
you're very misinformed about PCOS. the majority of people with PCOS develop the condition specifically due to insulin resistance and the overlap between PCOS and type 2 diabetes is incredibly high. PCOS is basically an indicator that you are at risk for later diabetes. i have PCOS and won't take these medications for my own reasons but i would absolutely not lump people with PCOS into the group of folks who are irresponsibly taking this medication. the medication is not about weightloss, its about treating INSULIN RESISTANCE. hence people with PCOS fit *SQUARELY* into the target demographic of this medication. be so for real.
I take mounjaro for diabetes, and I had to stop taking it for two weeks before a surgery. When anesthesia did their check in call, the nurse was like “mounjaro..using it for weight loss, I guess 😏?” “Nah, just a person with diabetes” She apologized, but dang. I’d probably feel sad if I was trying to lose weight (I am not. Just type 2 diabetes at a healthy bmi due to being Asian with a family medical history rich in the same presentation) and felt mocked by a nurse. Not only that, but where I am, mounjaro is only prescribed for diabetes with zepbound being for obesity treatment, so it was kind of interesting to see her personal feelings coming through. The conversation, attitudes, and responses to glp-1s and obesity these days are absolutely fascinating, and I wonder where we will end up. I’ve seen Reddit posts in the mounjaro groups where people were talking about how people are buying from compounding sites and using anecdotal evidence from each other to try to dose themselves far outside of medical guidance. It’s insane.
As a person with PCOS who had a diabetic mother, I would never dream of taking medication away from a diabetic patient. I don't understand the mindset that allows these people to do this.
Has someone who has issue with not being hungry for days and starving for days without even noticing, seeing people purposely do this to themselves is wild, like I’d love to get hungry normally and not starve
That’s unfortunate for you. Given that information I assume you’ve never spent a day in your entire life thinking about nothing BUT food - when you’re going to eat next, what you’re going to eat, what you just ate, what you’re going to eat when you go on vacation three weeks from now and googling restaurants and their menus just to plan it out, and ALWAYS being hungry even when you feel sick from having just eaten too much. People live like this every day. To the point where it consumes their waking thoughts. This medication turns it off immediately and allows people to eat like normal people. Have lunch and not think about food again for the next six hours. I’m sorry that you completely lack the empathy and understanding to see this from anyone else’s perspective. But this is a life changing and life saving medication for millions of people.
I was on it. I get interviewed by doctors and pharmacists over my experience on it. There are side effects when you are on it, but AFTER there are side effects people aren’t ready for. You have to stay on it and get skeletal because the side effects when you get off of it are far worse.
Bruh my Cheerios are so sad hearing this story I scooped up a sad face. Two full Cheerios and a third to make the sad mouth. Even cereal disapproves of Ozempic 😡
Saw that the UK Gov may suggest that Doctors prescribe Ozempic to patients who are on disability benefits for being overweight. Hope it'll be a choice for patients and they're told the full side effects, otherwise there'll be blood on their hands.
Of course it will be a choice lol. Whilst I'm not sure about whether I agree with prescribing patients ozempic for weight loss, we definitely don't force feed people medications 😂
@@plantlifeforever6994 my issue wasn't it being forced, it wasn't . Just that folks weren't told side effects, ingredients, many were told they "had" to
@Charlotte-zj8rq oh yeah :) they definitely didn't disclose all the side affects! It gave me an extra period, I thought there was something seriously wrong with me 😅 the doctor told me it was hormone related from the vaccine. Tbf, I do think the covid vaccine situation is still quite different from ozempic. And I think the whole narrative that people were effectively forced to have it or they wouldn't let you in to public spaces is a bit disengeneous- at that point people did still have the choice to keep isolating, they just weren't happy with the consequences of their choices, and you can't really expect to be welcomed into public spaces during a pandemic when you're not willing to protect yourself or others.
My aunt's daughter accidentally gave her a double dose last Wednesday. She is a diabetic. 5 days later, She isn't eating and drinking without vomiting. I think she might pull through but it's all up in the air at this point. 🤷🙏
@@unknownunknown2576 Seriously, there are VERY clear numbers. Like, it's just dashes until you get to the specific dose (ie. 0--------0.5----------1). You have to be adjusting the dial on purpose to double the dose.
Well, I've got two neighbors on it, so I'll see what happens. Of course, I'm not interested in it because every single person that's taken it says that they have to take it for the rest of their life. Not as an addiction but because the doctors said that the weight would come back. That just does not sit right with me. My neighbors were obese and not particularly well off. Some insurances seem to cover it. And the faces at the beginning seem to be a normal reaction to weight-loss and probably malnutrition. I remember watching Biggest Loser all the time, and some of the people would just age 20+ years after losing weight. For others, it was the reverse. There was this one woman who won the at-home prize. Before weight-loss, she looked to be a bubbly woman in her 30s. After weight-loss, she looked to be in her 60 or 70s. I think if you just starve yourself instead of exercising, it really contributes to aging you preemptively.

What I believe is being overshadowed, is how Ozempic usage is a class issue - working class people that struggle with diabetes and obesity cannot afford the already hard to obtain medication necessary for their health, while rich celebrities can.Instead of putting healthy measures into place (exercise, healthy eating...)they turn to medication, which was the enemy to begin with. My mother was an R,N. and she had a piece of medical advice for everyone that I have followed with no regrets. She said, "Never take a new medicine until after it's been on the market for at least 5 years."
Kind of reminds me of my dad’s advice. “Don’t buy a car until its been out for at least a year or two”
I mean, that's good then since GLP1 has been used since 2005, and Ozempic since 2017.
Great advice!
Yup… it’s not even FDA approved for weight loss use… and unlike the Covid vaccines ozempic wasn’t extensively tested by multiple scientists and medical professionals from all over the world.
The even bigger issue not being discussed is what cause GLP-1 to stop being produced naturally. Processed foods, preservatives, petrochemicals, PFAs, and pollution cause endocrine disorders, underdevelopment of the prefrontal cortex (behavioral disorders, addiction, narcissism), and henders the natural production of GLP-1. Rather than addressing the root causes, these companies fabricate a need, create a market to address that need, and then use supply and demand to to artificially inflate costs to insure maximum profits.
It's basically the American way. Create problem. Blame the victim. Then sell them a magic pill.
Why didn't you cover the cases of people losing huge parts of their digestive track?? The stomach just quits working forever. Being on a feeding tube and dealing with a colostomy is enough to scare me away. Many fates are worse than death.
Yeah, I would've liked to seen that one too!!!
You use it once or twice a week (for diabetes) and you are fine.
They most likely had so other issues, no way it was entirely because of Semiglutide.
This is called gastroparesis, and the reason you hear about it is in part because diabetics are already prone to it and these are diabetes drugs.
also, this is kind of a weird thing to say when plenty of people live fulfilling happy lives with colostomies and feeding tubes. these technologies save lives. disabled lives are worth living too
Why are people taking it that are already thin?
EDs most likely
they're also mentally ill
yeah eating disorders and also body dysmorphia would be my guess
that's the part that irks me. I wouldn't mind taking a weight loss pill to lose some weight, but I'm not going to keep taking it once I get to my target 145lb. Whatever is considered the median for your healthy individual body should be when you stop taking it. Because then I'll look like a nasty skeleton. I used to be really skinny too, but that's cuz I was picky and couldn't buy lots of candy. I love candy :)
@@sub_umbra_floreo That's why you gotta set a goal. calculate the median ideal weight for your particular body and immediately discontinue after that.
For the generations promoting "self love" so hard, I have never seen people failing themselves so bad while carrying that message. And they don't realize. How sad is that 💔
Indeed
More like falling over themselves rushing to get ozempic
Well said. Many can't differentiate their authentic self from their ego and reflection, sadly.
The problem is people are too scared to take responsibility for their actions, they'd rather see life as something that happens to them rather than their own doing, which gives them 0 capacity to self-control or endure any sort of hardship.
That's why they'd rather inject themselves with medication instead of just eating less or higher quality foods.
I think their self love promotion was never real
Celebrities can afford personal trainers and meal planners/preppers, why not just make use of them, I wonder?
It requires discipline
Dude it ain't all like that believe it or not a lot of those Hollywood celebs are just using common bodybuilding coaches to get those physiques you didn't really believe they're eating broccoli and rice and gaining 25 pounds of muscle in their mid-30s without the help of pharmaceuticals
too much effort, I'm thinkin.
They aren't used to actually working, so any amount of effort is too much for them. They want fast and easy.
oprah has tried all those rich people's amenities. That will not get you to look like Oprah does today in her seventies. Lay people dont realize drugs with exercise gets Hollywood results. We sound childlike with our magical views on what healthy choices and exercise can do or believing thin is the pinnacle of health for everyone
Acknowledging there's a shortage while denying it could be a problem for people who actually need it is wild
Exaktly! Due to insulin imballance, I was made to take Ozempic and yes the effect is weight loss, better blood sugar levels etc, but with some financial burden to my family and certain urges to empty my stomach against my will after one bite too much 😂 And I have thyroid disease, so it's not really a stopper in the medication.
Just proves how knowingly deceptive these influencers are.... that or some serious cognitive dissonance lol
There is not a shoratage,your doctor wouldn't recommend it if you don't fit the criteria or if people who need it more than you are need it. Have you even talked to a actual doctor about ozempic orr??
@@fruitsnac9088that’s not true. Doctors do prescribe medicine for money, and the opioids proved it, and they were paid more if they prescribed more. And they earn way more if a patient without insurance, pays 1000-1200$ per month incl “advice”. And they only prescribe, it’s the pharmacies that orders medicine
@@fruitsnac9088 There is a shortage in my country...I wanted it as I am diabetic but in Australia they cant guarantee a constant supply and I cant risk not being able to get my medication. I do wonder if it posses a danger to those who aren't diabetic. I would love to see the stats on the side effects for users who are diabetic compared to those who aren't diabetic.
i think scotts on that coke-zempic
😂😂😂😂
The original ozempic 😂
I thought he was Jared Leto made up for a role. Scott looks awful, but that could just because he's been with the Kardashians for so long.
Looks like methzempic to me 😅
If the intent was to make these celebrities look like zombies then it succeeded.
Right?! Check it out, botox causes facial muscles to atrophy from paralysis (use it or lose it). Semiglutide causes muscle loss. THAT'S why Kris and Scott look they've been stranded in the Himalayan mountains
I agree those people look scary in the face
H3ro!n chic is back🥺 90s all over again
Man, they look horrible! Frightening even. I personally think they all looked better before the ozempic.
They look like corpses, no muscles.
My cousin passed away a month ago from the Ozempic intestinal blockage. She was a nurse and had sudden symptoms. She died on the way to the operating room.
I’m so sorry for your loss 😭
Oh my goodness. You have my deepest condolences. That is very frightening to think about. I'm so sorry! 😪
I'm so sorry! People definitely need to be told about these awful things that can happen.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss! 🌸
How the eyes look is what bothers me the most. They don't look right, like someone else or no one is home.
💯
That's exactly what I was thinking about!
YESSS! Their eyes are so empty!
They look like fun house mirror images
All Hollywood celebrities have that look lol
My favorite was when my diabetic husband couldn't get his life-saving medication in the middle of a pandemic because a bunch of people decided it could help them shed some pounds. 🙄
Ayyyyyyy I couldn’t find it either.
Plenty other insulin out there I'm diabetic and I never had an issue I also lived in 2 huge cities during pandemic.
Right????? Ugh
@ One thing to keep in mind is that not all medications are processed the same way by the body, and not all diabetics are the same. Someone with kidney disease, for instance, can't take Metformin as as safely a someone with a healthy kidney.
Yep! Me too! And it doesn’t make me lose weight like everyone else
The saddest part of this is that people actually need it and can't get it
Not true
I'm a diabetic and I have no issue getting it every month
The American way. We have let this country turn into a playground for the rich
Not true at all
Imagine spreading misinformation online @hinderless
I stopped taking it (for blood sugar control, mind you) after vomiting for roughly a week straight. Believe me. I wasn't thinking about food either.
Hope you're feeling much better now.
@@shahzadi.zafira__ Much, thank you.
I went through the same thing. It has venom from the Gila monster in it, pure poison. I lost my weight on the carnivore diet, the healthy way.
Sorry to hear that :(
You had it rough. I take Ozempic once a week for my diabetes type 2 and I feel nauseous the day after. I’ve never had vomiting, you just had the nasty version of side effects. Hope you’re better now.
Hi, hello, Medication Technician here. I inject Ozempic into my patients on almost a daily basis. I am 100% for Diabetics taking it, even people that have health issues that make it harder to lose weight, but what I am NOT for are these celebrities/influencers who are MORE than capable of paying for an amazing trainer with a workout routine + special diet. Leave the Ozempic for people who actually need it please!
Most celebrities these days are vultures.
What will happen when you get sued when one or more suffers stomach paralysis.
Ditto and agreed
Agree and make sure your using it safely. Like i know loads of people who take it and cos it suppresses your appetite you just dont eat which is insane. I can say ozempic has saved me from having a full blown ed
@@JohnSmith-lk8cy I wouldn't lol
Why would people ever want to not be hungry?? Food becomes tasteless, fatigue and odd aches become your daily life, sores develop in your mouth and stomach due to nothing to drain the acid. Im someone with ADHD and an ED. This is my living nightmare. These people are insane.
31:03 the decreased muscle mass coupled with fewquent botox use is why some celebs have mire gaunt faces than others. Botox causes the paralysis of the muscles leading to muscle atrophy. If semiglutide also causes muscle loss, that explains why Kris and Scott look like that.
Some of these people are going to look so crazy in 10 years.
You don’t put Botox in sour cheeks
Botox only leads to muscle atrophy if you dont let movement come back
@@huntingaliens5477 you mean like baby or preventative doses over years? The way Kris and Scott do which bolsters my statement?!? Shock and awe
@@svenjaend5414 🤦🏻♀️ watch the video again hun. Botox injections do not stay in an isolated spot especially if the person is active during the 24hrs post injection. The injections target the nerves that are attached to the muscle. If you paralyze the nerves that attach to cheek muscles, then those cheek muscles will be affected.
My husband is a diabetic and his doctor suggested ozempic and he refused b/c he heard abt the side effects.
He uses diet, exercise, and metformin to keep his sugar under control and lose weight.
wise man!.
I have PCOS, and metformin was a LIFESAVER in terms of my weight.
I didn't know men could take it, too. I'm glad to hear it's working for him!
Way to go, but he can be cured from the T2D, cut out all carbs. That's what I did, I eat meat and cheese, I lost 100lbs and reversed the T2D i had, had for 10yrs. Check out (Dr. Ken Berry) it's called the carnivore diet and it's the proper human diet. God bless
For ppl with diabetes they are given in a dose and therefore will never over use it ..hence less side effect, my lecturer was using it in England 2002 injecting in the classroom she had a nice body shape never looked like this!
ok
I suffer from gastroparesis because of ehlers danlos. Gastroparesis (paralyzed stomach) is a side effect of ozempic. Life with gastroparesis is miserable. I can't eat, I live off fortisip and ensure (liquid alternative to food) and at least 4-6x a year I have to have NG tubes and TPN (IV nutrition). And when I do eat the pain is excruciatingly and causes vomiting and diarrhea. I can't understand why anyone would want to willingly make that gamble because a lot of ozempic users are now experiencing gastroparesis. It's an awful and miserable existence.
So sorry to hear. I've just said a prayer for your restoration.
I'd say that most people starting this medication have no idea about potential side effects. I recently found that this medication is based on a peptide found in the venom of the reptile called "Gila monster" who is known for paralyzing small animals when it bites them! (it's called exendin-4 if anyone wants to research that)
I also have gastroparesis and you're right it is absolutely horrible. I live off ensure but my stomach looks like I'm pregnant. It's so painful.
may you be able to get help fror this... my heart is with you,, so is God.
may you heal.// amen...
my husband has gp as well and it's horrible.
This almost happens to friend she's diabetic 2 jabs is all she had they said had she had 3 she would of have suffered with stomach paralysis as it is she now has a heart problems she didn't have before those 2 jabs
Fun fact- the European makers of Ozempic can’t sell it for weight loss in Europe, due to restrictions on the grounds of its risks, so they sell it to Americans, because the FDA will allow anything if you pay them enough.
They can however sell Wegovy, which is the exact same thing just in a higher dosage...
FDA doesn't give a crp about us only the $. That's why some FDA employees now work for big pharma with big paychecks.
Did you know being obese is really risky too?
Did you know diet and lifestyle change can drastically reduce obesity?
That's actually not true. Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro are all prescribed by doctors for weightloss only, sadly. Most of europeans countries health insurances even pay for it if your BMI is above 30. And everyone can get those medications if they are okay to pay for it.
Why does listening to this video sound like listening to your 10 year old cousin explain fnaf lore? Like. There a message. There's something there. But it's all over the place. We lost the plot like 4 minutes in.
Yep. These trash channels are adhd af and just love gossip and misinformation.
I have pcos. Mounjaro lowered my blood pressure to a healthy range, helped me lose 60 pounds, fixed my high cholesterol, and fixed my insulin resistance. It also calmed chronic inflammation I was experiencing and brought back my periods, which I had previously lost from PCOS. I have had zero negative side effect and never want to go back.
That is cause you actually have health issues appropriate for this class of meds. I'm so happy to hear it worked for you!
@@MandiMalice-y9yI have PCOS and have been debating this medicine. So I would more than likely be okay taking it?
Yes. Same.
People are misinformed as the majority do not have these rare side effects.
Hysterectomy.
@@sarahk09221that's definitely something you need to go over with your doctor. Any medication will come with risks, and it's just a bad idea to make health decisions based on internet advice
How can you be a weight loss coach but can't lose weight on your own the natural way? That's not a coach that I would want to follow. She isn't setting an example for her clients.
I mean... I could coach people to lose weight easily and naturally but cannot really do so myself... but they'd have to be healthy whereas I am not. (Spinal injuries and thyroid problems.) So just cause someone is chubby doesn't mean they cannot coach weightloss well and may know what they are speaking about.
@MandiMalice-y9y I agree there are special circumstances. It's the same as if you go to an overweight nutritionist that maybe had some sort of reason as to why they are overweight but they are still knowledgeable about their field. But far as the weight loss coach it's more encouraging when you see them lose weight by using their own methods that they are teaching the clients. That's basically what I'm saying.
There's a difference between having the knowledge and your body complying. It doesn't always. Some health conditions handicap your ability to maintain a healthy weight no matter what you do

@@RatclawzHave they done an ozempic episode? Would love to see it
It has been a known issue for at least a year. This isn't new.
Hello everyone. I’m Gracie and I’m here to warn you about the horrors behind Ozempic:
Ozempic works by literally slowing down digestion, which is one of the worst things you can do to the human body. Many people are starting to develop gastroparesis as a side effect, which means the digestive system becomes paralyzed. It causes massive pain , excessive vomiting weight loss, and in worst cases, death if you lose the function to eat.
I never took Ozempic a day in my life but developed gastroparesis after a botched miscarriage surgery. I can assure you, gastroparesis is a nightmare, as I myself almost died after going down to 80 pounds! Every day, I have to fight just to keep my weight at 105. Stay away from Ozempic!
So are you saying, it is like being pregnant?
I'm diabetic, I'm ignoring everything you just said because i use it for its intended purpose of insulin.
I have cerebral palsy, ibs, and gastroparisis, I’ve had gastroparisis without even taking ozempic and have had it for years. My thyroid doctor recommended taking ozempic due to weight, but it was too expensive and my insurance didn’t cover it. And at the time my parents didn’t feel right about. I’m still struggling with my health problems but hopefully I’ll be able to find solutions soon.
@@woopwoop-pc5dk Me too! This fear mongering is getting out of hand. I have used it for 3 years and, apart from the odd upset stomach, have never had a problem with it. It actually lowers my blood glucose levels dramatically and has probably saved my life. Yes you lose weight with it, but that side effect doesn't last forever...
I experienced the shortage for around 3 months but thankfully I'm able to get it again now.
@@woopwoop-pc5dk it’s good you ignore it because it’s not intended for people who obviously need it, like you. I’m talking about people abusing it for the vanity. Not those who need it.
What I believe is overshadowed is if food manufacturers were more humane and didn’t stuff garbage with addictive chemicals their own rich kids wouldn’t be using it - oh wait it’s cuz their kids don’t eat the garbage they produce
This is definitely a part of it.
It’s a responsibility to care for what you eat. Of course companies want to sell their foods, I don’t see why you blame them.
@@soro230 because yes you personally are responsible, but if the entire food supply is unhealthy, that is a societal problem.

It is causing pancreatitis in people, my daughter being one of them. The research barely mentions it but to see my daughter in so much pain was scary. She cannot take ozempic now
May I know why was your daughter taking it? I mean for weight loss or diabetic?
It costs 89 cents to make and it costs Americans about a thousand a pop.

They're taking drugs because they're too lazy to lose weight the normal way that type one diabetics require to SURVIVE. To the point of there being a shortage. How is that not disgusting?
I was on it 5 years ago. It was called Saxenda, I lost 41 pounds first month! I was only 176 and my dr said I was obese . Biggest mistake of my life. I had no idea what it was. I have the bellybutton hernia, I can’t eat for days, I don’t get hungry . I have literally every side effect. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DO NOT TAKE IT! When you stop taking it. You gain it all back. Anyway I lost 88 pounds in less than 4 months. I haven’t felt good one single day since.
so you're less than 100 lbs? If so, that is why you do not feel well, that and the fact you lost an insane amount of weight in a short time. I hope you are healing and have gained some weight back.
They made it very clear that they aren’t okay now.
The problem with it, is it doesn't actually fix the bad habits that got people to their weight in the first place. So when they loose the weight, they are horribly under nourished and have many vitamin and mineral deficiencies that age you horribly.
Then as part of prescribing it for obesity, people should have access to a dietician.
That is their self imposed punishment for not doing the absolute minimum research themself.
WOW that woman saying that obese people NEED meds to lose weight and be normal is *SO DANGEROUS*
Thats going to make people feel hopeless without it, and they all seem to forget how expensive it is for people, not to mention theres lots of ppl like me who do not qualify to take those meds because of underlying conditions. Its so dangerous to tell people they need one specific thing to fix their problems, especially when you dont even know what their problems are.
THE GYMMMMMM just in excuse
this.
I used to take Ozempic but I switched to Wegovy.
I heard it’s the same medicine in a different pen, but I’ve been on it for a whole year now.
What should I change my plan to?
( I’ve been trying to work out, but I can’t get a steady plan of when to do it because I have a lot going on )
I’ve spent my life dieting and exercising. Ive been on prednisone for the last 6 years and gained 100lbs because I couldn’t stop eating. I finally went on ozempic and stopped obsessively eating and thinking about food. The free time that gave me afforded me the time to go to the gym consistently and start working with a dietitian. I haven’t had any side effects. I have lost the 100lbs, my blood pressure is normal, my cholesterol is normal, and while I still have another 50lbs to lose, I don’t plan on ever going off this medication.
I’ve been morbidly obese since I was a child. And frankly it’s a miracle I’m not diabetic given my long term steroid use, kidney transplant, and weight.
Obesity is a disease. Long term obesity causes irreversible hormonal changes in the body, which is why 95% of people who lose weight gain it back. There are some people who simply CANNOT lose weight without treatment for this disease, regardless of how much people want to bury their heads in the sand.
@@BoringTroublemakerI am SO PROUD of you! Wow!! 100 pounds! 🎉🎉 I've been on Ozempic since February & I've lost 55 pounds. I am 47 years old. I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure and COPD when I was 34 and 2 years later Rheumatoid Arthritis. I've been homebound since 34 and I'm on 3ltr O2 24/7. I gained 100 lbs in a year. Depression and not being able to get up and move has wreaked havoc on my body. Do you have a certain meal plan that you go by? I would love to hear more about your story if you're willing to share. 😊
I started a new diet called don't put nothing but food and water in your body duh.
yeah i lost 35 kg , started doing that in november last year!.
It worked for me too🎉
It also worked for me, I just found out I lost 80 POUNDS! I feel proud of myself that I didn't force my weight loss success and was patient and healthy enough to trust the process.
Learning to cut a bit off from your meals every day and by the end of one month, you’ll be surprised a😢how much you actually eat compared to the beginning. We also carry a water bottle all the time and that affects how hungry you feel.
Next step is learning about caloric deficits and whole foods/ vitamins. Food makes or breaks health
I’m a t1 diabetic, my endo suggested it because my A1C was stuck above 8 and I was struggling with insulin resistance and weight management. I’ve been on Zepbound for 7 months and my A1C is 5.7. I’ve lost about 60 lbs and do strength training 3 times a week. This medication has been life changing for me, I never thought I would get my A1C in range
Congratulations! You got a branded med from an endocrinologist which is safe. That’s an amazing result, good job!
@ it’s almost as if this medication works for it’s intended use 😂
Same!! My A1C was 9.8, and it was stuck, my weight was stuck, I couldn't get my sugars down but Ozempic helped that. After a couple of months my A1C is down to 7.1 and my sugars are under control (I don't need to use as much insulin and not as often).
I however have not lost any weight. Zero. NGL, I'm a little upset about that.
@@PhoenixRising883that happened with me too!! Even with exercising multiple times a week! I'm happy my numbers are much better but dang, I was hoping for like 20lbs too😅🥹
I wonder if weight loss happens more if you abuse it/don't use as intended
I'm on zep too!! I haven't lost a bunch of weight but my A1C is under control now so that's good🥹 tbh weight loss can wait, my A1C couldn't
Kelly Osbourne doesn't even look like the same person anymore. Like not even close. I would have never known that was her if the announcer didn't say so. It looks nothing like her

I feel the same about her.
Yeah she's a grifter for sure rule of thumb I don't buy anything any celebrities endorse health or food wise and political wise just a good rule of thumb
I am a diabetic and my doctor prescribed it for me. When I expressed concerns about the side effects, she became extremely agitated and hostile towards me. It really,y turned me away from the med and I am glad it did.
If a doctor does that when you want to discuss potential side effects, major red flag. I'd find a new doctor right away!
@@razorazoh I definitely quit seeing her. The one regret I have is not lodging a complaint against her because she was really quit horrid towards me.
The hostility would've made me switch doctors. If you can't have honest conversations with your doctor, how can they help? They can't.
Yes. They get paid for pushing it.
Well she lost out on commission! Of course she’s mad!
Over-eating is also an eating disorder. Not that people want to deal with that one as seriously.
"Over-eating is also an eating disorder."
Quack. The so-called "over-eating" is a symptom of hyperinsulinaemia or other hormonal disorders.
The biochemistry dictates the behaviour!
@@btudrusnah sometimes its literally just an eating disorder lol
@@Ipeadahwittle BS. behaviour is driven by the biochemistry. EVER!
As someone who suffers from chronic pancreatitis, and has been hospitalized 11 times for it, I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. It is a pain that is indescribable. Its scary and can come on somewhat fast at times. (Everyone is different, and you may, or may not, experience symptoms early on) It is SO BAD. I urge antone who has any signs of an issue with these meds, to please seek medical attention as soon as you possibly can.
it's okay to be a bit chubby, you guys 😭
No, it is not.
Being "a bit chubby" is a symptom of insulin-resistance and hyperinsulinaemia, which is the primary cause of T2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease and many other chronic metabolic diseases.
If you are "a bit chubby" means you are severly sick (even if the disease haven't manifested itself fully) and that you are eating the wrong stuff which makes you sick!
@@btudrus first off, not everyone can afford healthy food
being a bit chubby is better than taking ozempic
that was obviously in response
Bro I'm diabetic and have thyroid disease (underactive) and I literally need Ozempic because it's one of my medications (and I don't have my own private insurance yippee). Of course people who don't actually need it who take it are at risk of getting sick etc. They cause shortages for us, who actually need it, and then complain when they get side effects with their unneeded weight loss. But I do want to make something clear; if someone is taking ozempic for morbid obesity and it's comorbidities then that is a valid health concern. Morbid obesity is a serious impact for health and is not the same as people using it to lose a couple pounds. The cancer warning was also only detected in mice, and mice are historically not the best animal to predict human health outcomes because our bodies are so different and dosing is so different. There has been no evidence yet of it being cancerous to humans.
Not only did they cause a shortage but prices for it went up! It’s disgusting!
People that want it for cosmetic should pay full price or more and ppl that NEED IT should have 1st dibs
This needs to be taken off pharmacy shelves and done on prescription only (at least in the UK with the NHS - idk how US health insurance works)
@@Astral_Clover I totally agree ;-;
@@plantlifeforever6994 Here where I am in Canada, and in the US, it's all prescription but some doctors have been prescribing it to people who just want to lose a few pounds etc :(
@@KeroseneSkies jesus 😳 surely they are aware of the health risks? I feel like if the person isn't morbidly obese then they should be taking doctor's licenses away for prescribing it to people who don't actually *need* weightloss
Another issue is that you may lose weight but I imagine when you stop taking it (if your not folllowing a healthy diet and changing your habits) your just going to put weight back on. Surely you can’t stay on it forever 🤷♀️
Currently it appears that you do have to stay on it forever to maintain results
I worked in a pharmacy and these drugs are ment for lifelong medical conditions. So when people take it just for weight loss, they would have to keep taking it forever or eventually learn healthy habits. If not all the weight will come back after you stop, if not get worse.
Learning healthy habits goes completely out the window when you get off the ozempic. I can eat for my health no problem when I'm on it because I don't think about food or crave like I do off of it. I have all the intellect to eat healthy and can establish a routine and menus...but once those hormones aren't being suppressed it doesn't matter that you know better or have good meals planned, you're still hungry or want foods you know aren't good for you and that battle sucks. Hormones drive behavior more than we'd like to give them credit for.
Exactly you're better off saving your money changing your habits and hiring a coach or nutritionist. It's so annoying how ppl will do anything but change for the better. Oh and working out is free. So is motivation.
cant be good for your muscles either since youre basically starving yourself
they shouldn’t be taking it if they don’t need it ☝️
I agree, but its easier said than done
Exactly, especially the compound version... It is not regulated well, and people can easily overdose when they self inject.
Or take the right one!
Most of those people didn’t have a weight problem to begin with
My cousin passed away from it. She was over weight and her doctor prescribed this. She started having symptoms and complications from it. She died and was only 52.
I'm so sorry for your loss. 💛🫂
I am so sorry for your loss. Would you mind saying what some of those symptoms and complications were? I am worried about a family member.
I second the request for symptoms please
I am 47. Kelly is 40. I feel like she looks older than me.
Yo I'm so happy somebody did an article about this because I literally was like 2 days from buying this because my doctor is like demanding me to lose 65 lb in 6 months cuz I am like overweight close to a obbes almost in their terms oh my goodness y'all literally just saved my life think you I'm just going to hop on this treadmill
More about diet than exercise. Try cutting out things like hot processed oils (vegetable & seed oils), ultraprocessed foods, and (most) sugars. Natural sugars like fruit are fine, honey is fine, etc. I wasn't even trying to lose weight (I'm very small and NOT overweight!) and I lost 10lbs doing this. A lot of preservatives aren't very good either, messes with the hormones in your body... which, in turn, can make it hard to lose weight.
Look for a good psychologist, too. It helps greatly to have mental health support in this kind of life changing journey.
Try high protein/keto diets. Slow and steady. Don't give up.
❤❤❤❤
As long as there’s a shortage of glp-1 medications, which there is worldwide and has been since 2022, I don’t think people should use ozempic unless they’re actually diabetic. It makes it even harder to get for people who depend on it. In Norway you’re not allowed to get glp-1 medications unless you have diabetes type 2 while there’s a shortage of medication.
When there’s not restrictions because of shortage, you _have_ to qualify as overweight, so you can’t take it if you want to lose weight if you’re already not overweight, like some of these people are, and when you’re no longer overweight, you’re not allowed to continue getting it.
Edit; changed from “whose lives depend on it” to “who depend on it”
....as someone who worked in the pharmacy field, generally non-diabetics should be afraid of this med.... use topamax first people, it's cheaper, safer, and there's much more of it...
There are many many drugs for us diabetics. What do you think we did before ozempic ?? I can't believe the ignorance out there
I myself have been on 6 different injectable insulin. 5 different diabetic tablets . Do you think it's ozempic or death ?
@@Rollimggiant Also, it’s often prescribed to diabetes patients who can’t control their blood sugar with tablets, so just taking tablets instead doesn’t work for everyone with diabetes.
@@Rollimggiant6 different ones? Maybe the Ozempic would have been the one that actually worked for you!
Ozempic was approved by the FDA for diabetics, not for weight loss. The doctors giving scripts to non-diabetics for Ozempic should have their licenses revoked.
Wait till they find out about coke
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's what we were saying about Scott until he said it was ozempic!
It’s probably much cheaper too 😝
Right. I said oh new age adderall
13:42 It's amazing to me how much time Oprah has wasted talking about her weight, thinking about her weight, and hearing people talk about her weight.
Distractions dear
Yeah I’m an emergency department RN and I will tell you nearly every other shift I have a patient on one of these weight loss meds with SERIOUS side effects. Just avoid them, please. Even if you don’t have the side effects at first- good luck not having long term complications when coming off of it.
I wanted it so bad and my son is an RN also. He said don’t do it mom. (And more info). Glad I listened!
Being overweight is not a mental health disorder. We're evolved hunter gatherers and need to adapt to having rivers of junk food lining our shelves. I regained weight after grief and covid but 75lbs off from just learning about volume eating, carbs moderation, weight training, fasting in moderation and cutting out certain junk foods. Keto was a good Kickstart but the food tracking apps like fitness pal or macrofactor are so useful. Please don't use these drugs, it never ends!
Manche von denen sind so: ich werde zwar sterben dafür aber skinny!
Echt egoistisch und faul, Diabetiker tun mir leid
Keto is sooo dangerous.
Why?
Ah yes, evolutionary psychology. Clearly we should judge the reasonableness of our decisions based on what a caveman would have thought instead of judging them with reason.
Obesity is mental and at times genetic. So this is extremely untrue.
I used it for 2 months and was in the urgent care twice. I was so sick I couldn’t even drink a sip of water.
Thanks for this video. My hubby recently diagnosed w diabetes and was given this 6 months ago. I have seen no weight lost and always has stomach issues. I told him to stop it but the drs dont help saying it will get better.
Hm 6 months is a long time, on the other hand, my sertraline also takes roughly 6 months to adjust. Ozempic starts working at 1 week and results show at 8 weeks+ . On the other hand, he's only using it to control his type 2 diabetes, not for weight loss. The FDA hasn't approved this for weight loss therefore there isn't any recommended dosage for that.
So if it's controlling his diabetes, then I probably would not stop taking it, OR I would ask if there's an alternative type 2 diabetic medication
But that's probably why he isn't losing weight, cuz the objective is just to lower his blood sugar to acceptable levels, not necessarily lose weight. I'm guessing that people who lost weight on Ozempic were on higher doses.
Is He your child or your Partner?

I think the problem is simply how processed our food is these days. Look at the nutrition facts on any food package and the sodium content is crazy high. If not the sodium content, it's the sugar.
Don't buy packaged processed foods. Make your own meals from clean basic products.
I got pancreatitis from Ozempic. I was prescribed for diabetes
Does that go away if u stop oZempic
@@siobhanolsen8689 It does but its best not to continue Ozempic after wards, pancreatitis is a serious thing and if you keep harming yourself by taking it then you'll seriously hurt yourself.
@@maebemae How long were you on it?
@@melissajacobs5822 Not long maybe a month and a half. I also got diagnosed with gastroparesis but it all got narrowed down to being because of the Ozempic since my life style had not changed, the only new thing was Ozempic.
My dad just got out of hospital with pancreatitis, he could barely eat for like a week and his blood sugars were super high because he has diabetes so he lost a visible amount of weight even in just that week, when he got out of hospital he looked like these ozempic celebrities 💀💀 like. He looks alarmingly sick. He looks thin and frail and tired, like he's malnourished. And so do these celebrities. Why would you want to take something that makes you look like someone who is severely ill
ED
my dad and my son had pancreatitis. Its one of the most painful thing a human can go through
They are not using it as prescribed. Ozempic does not make anyone look like that. They suffer from ED . They continue to diet when thin
@@orcuttcatno pancreatic cancer is much worse I'm lucky to be alive. Pancreatitis is a joke compared to the cancer
They definitely have EDs or dysmophia. My grandpa became sickly (under 120lbs) and blending ensure into "milkshakes" helped him get some weight back! Maybe it could help your dad?
I’m diabetic, I’ve been on ozempic for about 4 months. I also have endometriosis, and a couple years ago I got on Oralissa for it. I gained 20lbs in two months. By the end I had put on 50lbs. I was trying so hard not to gain weight and nothing I did mattered. I wasn’t able to lose any of the weight and my blood sugar kept getting worse and worse. I was avoiding ozempic because of all the bad things I see online. I’ve almost lost all the weight and my bloodwork has been better all around. The only thing I worry about is that I’ll just gain it back if I stop taking it.
I constantly thank my lucky stars that I am not into social media or it's culture. Nobody has a mind of their own. They dress alike, talk the same, get the same procedures done. Ridiculous !
mental health is the most important part of having a healthy body, its hard to take care of your body when your mental health is in scrambles
Excellent video thank you for sharing. It SICKENS me that there really was a shortage for these meds that are NEEDED by us diabetics. We dont take it for fun but to continue living. Has anyone thought about when they stop taking the injections how their body will then cope with making insuline and doing the job it hasnt had to do for months since using meds NOT meant for healthy bodies regardless of weight. How are thier liver and pancreas going to fair. Anyway, Blessings to all however I do hope users do seriously think of how damaging it will be to those diabetcs who need this medication as well as their own bodies. Blessings to all x 🙏🌹🦄
I'm sorry to hear that. The shortage may have been caused by the uptick of ozempic users from people seeking off-label weight loss solutions. In this case, the producers just need to hurry and ramp up production. Because I dont see this usage going away. The medication exists, it's just the injectable vessels themselves are in short supply.
Type 2 diabetes, you give to yourself soooo
There’s no shortage of the actual meds, just the pens.. obesity leads to diabetes. It’s nearly impossible to loose weight naturally with PCOS/insulin resistance.
@@sophiastachelsky576 I think youll find it depends on where you are regarding shortages and its not only obesity that leads to diabetes my friend, some of us have other serious diseases that through time also cause diabetes. Im not against help for losing weight in any way, I am against using PRESCRIBED medication for it that is NOT meant for that purpose. Blessings.
@ yes, I get it prescribed by my endocrinologist…
I'm on a semiglutide and I've found it incredibly helpful
My cholesterol is great, a1c is down and I'm no longer on blood pressure medication. Everything, including the medication I was on before this, also comes with risks. It depends on what risks you want to take.
People need to accept and understand there is not a one thing cure-all for anything.
Aber ich bin doch sooo faul und ich will mein Fast Food nicht aufhören zu essen! (Irony off)
Ozempic really, really helped me improve my diabetes. I didn't experience any side effects whatsoever. No vomiting, no gut health issues, none of it. That is in large part because I'm the type of person the medicine was designed for. I'm currently fighting with my insurance to approve more for me, my doctor is too. It shouldn't be this difficult for the people the medicine is FOR to get it. There's a lesson here in not taking medication that you don't need. You shouldn't ever be taking medication that you don't need, and it's incredibly frustrating that I can't get this life changing medication because rich folk that don't need it are buying it all up.
“20,000 steps a day”; 10,000 steps already a workout let alone 20,000. It don’t mean a thing as you can’t outrun a bad diet. It’s not just about movement and exercises. It’s easy to overeat 600 -700 calories, which is what you burn for 10,000 steps.
The behaviour and lifestyle changes, tools to eat healthily don’t come on label with Ozempic boxes.
My mom started ozempic a month ago without telling anyone and it gave her severe insomnia. She couldn't sleep at ALL for nearly an entire week. It was only after taking her to the ER that she admitted that she'd been taking Ozempic. She's never going to take it again.
Once the body gets below a certain caloric deficit it becomes impossible almost asleep that's most likely it was going on with your mom and I'm sorry that she had the experience that and glad to hear she's off of it
Thanks for this. I'm bipolar and this would destroy me.
I’m diabetic, have PCOS and take ozempic. I’ve had to deal with pharmacies running out of it because people who aren’t diabetic are getting it. For me , it controls my sugar and lowers my A1c.
"For me , it controls my sugar and lowers my A1c."
This is bad because you are still poisoning your body with sugar.
You have to change your diet and then you won't need it.
“There’s not a shortage, there’s just a shortage”
I was athletic and that kept my weight down. I was never classed as obese when I wasn’t active, though I didn’t have the desired dress size.. Since becoming disabled with a spine injury and being put on drugs that increased my weight by 15 k, I came off the pain meds as I was worried that surgery might be complicated. I couldn’t shake the weight because I couldn’t exercise. I was great at watching my food intake and doing the right exercise before the injury. I do believe that if your mobility is fine, then you don’t need it. As soon as I have my spine surgery, and the outcome is positive, I will be more able to control my weight naturally. For now I think influencers have a duty to show the down side as well as the good side. If you are neurodivergent, I wouldn’t advise its use.
they're addicts. they just don't know it yet
I’m taking it for pcos symptoms, but I think what’s forgotten is that for some (not all) it’s a 2-way street. I was extremely disciplined years ago starting a weight loss journey and lost 60 pounds.
The medicine might have its perks but mental health and physical health is most important… doing the actual legwork (especially with a balanced diet) is going to help a lot more being on or off the medication.
ozempic reeks of phen phen.
i have several loved ones on it. i wish they wouldn't take it. my friend nearly died from it.
my husband is on it. he hides the papers that talk about the side effects and tells me i'm "just paranoid" when i tell him this isn't safe.
i wish he'd just come workout with me. i've lost weight successfully after 10 (yes 10) pregnancies including a set of twins. the hardwork and healthy eating is much better and healthier for your body than medications that starve you
Agree if you mean fenny.
Yes! I think a lot of people are too young to remember that but I do and if I remember correctly, wasn't there a class action lawsuit after a bunch of people had serious complications? That's what I'm envisioning will happen with Ozempic in a few years' time
As a thyroid victim and currently overweight i am now glad my doctor denied me ozempic. its clearly for people fighting diabetes, not a short cut to weight loss. it doesnt burn fat. thats what it is. NOT A FAT BURNER. there is no miracle in weight loss. Stay healthy
Sharon Osborne she admitted she took over 3000 shots who does that she was overdosing herself on Ozempic.
That paperwork STATES that you should have a certain BMI and/or comorbidities. So if you choose to take it with 20 pounds to lose and you don’t have diabetes or any comorbidities - I DO NOT FEEL BAD FOR YOU.
I agree and the doctors prescribing it to exactly these people, should have their licenses revoked.
Living longer and healthier is my goal, and losing weight is a factor in it. I've had a life-long diagnosis with a genetic liver disorder. I've struggled with body image since middle school. Since my early 20s, I've been diagnosed with migraines, depression, anxiety, obesity, fibromyalgia, fatty liver, and SVT (in that order). The only success I've had losing weight and allowing myself to safely exercise and be healthier, has been Wegovy. I'm in a privileged position where the cost isn't a problem for me. I'm in monthly contact with my provider who, after discussions and counseling, thought this was the safer option than weight loss surgery. I think that if your primary, dietician, and hepatologist all say "you should take this," then you should take it.
Anything that lowers blood sugar is going to suppress hunger. Going on a carb diet suppresses hunger. What lower blood sugar also does is get rid of a lot of water retention which makes people appear less 'puffy' or bloaty. Finding the very worst examples of Hollywood people who probably are on drugs is kind of fearmongering imo.
I believe that the problem is doling it out to people who don't really need it and only eat junk. It's for people who have diabetes and useful for the morbidly obese along with proper nutrition plans, it shouldn't be given to people who can be at a healthy weight with regular diet or exercise. That's the real problem with the medical industry they're too greedy to say no to $$$.
Why don't people just quit eating sugar and lower your carbs and then your blood sugar levels will go down and you will lose weight
So I think I'm a really good advocate for ozempic and here's why!
I used to be 525 and pre-diabetic, I remember being put on Ozempic way back in 2019 and 2020. It was brand new at the time and my, endocrinologist make the suggestions to try it out...
y'all. I don't think people understand what this medicine does to you.
Everyday I felt like I was dying, worse than when I had high blood sugars and didn't take my insulin 🤔
Not to mention there's constant sulfur egg burps, your stomach digestion is almost non-existent, so you're either blowing up a bathroom or you're constipated.
And if you're not like me and have a whole bunch of extra fat for the Ozempic to burn off, you still risk
"Ozempic face".
I was at .5 dose and got all the way up to the double dose 1.0 and, my dad was on it as well but he quit way early because it was just making him feel TERRIBLE .he's also was diabetic
We eventually just stopped taking it because I started not being able too function properly on the MENTAL level, since you're missing so much fuel, your body is taking longer to respond to messages to the brain 🧠
It was really scary seeing your body slowly deteriorate right in front of you 😱
This is a really good explanation of what my experience was with it as well.
How much did you lose before you needed to stop.? I hope you and your dad help each other with challenges of diabetes 2. I'm diabetic too
Seems like the dose was too high. Did you try to lower the dose?
It was really scary seeing your body go through changes, more scary than getting to about the weight of 3*average people apparently? 525 is ridiculous.

@baum7des7lebens7 Even natural food isn't what it used to be. Since the chemical revolution of the mid 20th century, the levels of nutrients and micronutrients in our food has fallen through the floor.

I heard these things can cause gastroparesis. I have that. When it flares, it's horrible: I have to take anti nausea meds if I drink a full cup of tea. Your stomach empties too slowly, and you vomit if you eat a normal sized meal, a small one.

@joannaowen6653 Ever heard of Eric the Actor?
I would recommend walking after a meal, drinking a lot of water, and eating smaller bites, if you aren't already. That should alleviate *some of your issues. That sucks though.
Also contributing to Ozempic face is the muscle atrophy which occurs after prolonged use of botox. Both together looks haunting for sure.
if ur taking health advice from a youtuber, ur insane
My mom is in her sixties and has been using ozempic. It’s prescribed because she was pre diabetic but she’s had two fainting episodes this year with no explanation, when this has never happened before. She’s also definitely lost muscle mass and I’m pretty concerned for her.
"Ozempic face" looks a lot like just "the effects of rapid weight loss". Yes, rapid weight loss can be dangerous-- it's not more dangerous than severe obesity or uncontrolled diabetes.
Yes this video keeps conflating those with diabetes and the severely obese with those who are a healthy weight and want some kind of unattainable Hollywood body.
you're very misinformed about PCOS. the majority of people with PCOS develop the condition specifically due to insulin resistance and the overlap between PCOS and type 2 diabetes is incredibly high. PCOS is basically an indicator that you are at risk for later diabetes. i have PCOS and won't take these medications for my own reasons but i would absolutely not lump people with PCOS into the group of folks who are irresponsibly taking this medication. the medication is not about weightloss, its about treating INSULIN RESISTANCE. hence people with PCOS fit *SQUARELY* into the target demographic of this medication. be so for real.
Chewing coca leaves has staved off the hunger pangs during long journeys for many South Americans for decades now.
*centuries
@AG-iu9lv Apparently it's more like millennia. They've actually found coke in Egyptian mummies. Good call all the same. Thanks 👍
I think coca should be legal. I’ve also seen that chewing coca and even drinking coca tea can help stave off altitude sickness
I take mounjaro for diabetes, and I had to stop taking it for two weeks before a surgery. When anesthesia did their check in call, the nurse was like “mounjaro..using it for weight loss, I guess 😏?” “Nah, just a person with diabetes” She apologized, but dang. I’d probably feel sad if I was trying to lose weight (I am not. Just type 2 diabetes at a healthy bmi due to being Asian with a family medical history rich in the same presentation) and felt mocked by a nurse. Not only that, but where I am, mounjaro is only prescribed for diabetes with zepbound being for obesity treatment, so it was kind of interesting to see her personal feelings coming through.
The conversation, attitudes, and responses to glp-1s and obesity these days are absolutely fascinating, and I wonder where we will end up. I’ve seen Reddit posts in the mounjaro groups where people were talking about how people are buying from compounding sites and using anecdotal evidence from each other to try to dose themselves far outside of medical guidance. It’s insane.
As a person with PCOS who had a diabetic mother, I would never dream of taking medication away from a diabetic patient. I don't understand the mindset that allows these people to do this.
7:26 I’m not taking health advice from someone who selfishly ate herself to her size and than selfishly say people with diabetes aren’t at a shortage.
Yes, no acknowledgement of her own bad actions just pushing product
There is no silver bullet for weight loss.
Apparently there is now…
except there is
Calorie deficit
Has someone who has issue with not being hungry for days and starving for days without even noticing, seeing people purposely do this to themselves is wild, like I’d love to get hungry normally and not starve
That’s unfortunate for you. Given that information I assume you’ve never spent a day in your entire life thinking about nothing BUT food - when you’re going to eat next, what you’re going to eat, what you just ate, what you’re going to eat when you go on vacation three weeks from now and googling restaurants and their menus just to plan it out, and ALWAYS being hungry even when you feel sick from having just eaten too much.
People live like this every day. To the point where it consumes their waking thoughts. This medication turns it off immediately and allows people to eat like normal people. Have lunch and not think about food again for the next six hours.
I’m sorry that you completely lack the empathy and understanding to see this from anyone else’s perspective. But this is a life changing and life saving medication for millions of people.
I was on it. I get interviewed by doctors and pharmacists over my experience on it. There are side effects when you are on it, but AFTER there are side effects people aren’t ready for. You have to stay on it and get skeletal because the side effects when you get off of it are far worse.
Bruh my Cheerios are so sad hearing this story I scooped up a sad face. Two full Cheerios and a third to make the sad mouth. Even cereal disapproves of Ozempic 😡
Saw that the UK Gov may suggest that Doctors prescribe Ozempic to patients who are on disability benefits for being overweight. Hope it'll be a choice for patients and they're told the full side effects, otherwise there'll be blood on their hands.
Uh....like the covid vaccine?
Of course it will be a choice lol. Whilst I'm not sure about whether I agree with prescribing patients ozempic for weight loss, we definitely don't force feed people medications 😂
@@Charlotte-zj8rq that also was not forced into your arm.
@@plantlifeforever6994 my issue wasn't it being forced, it wasn't . Just that folks weren't told side effects, ingredients, many were told they "had" to
@Charlotte-zj8rq oh yeah :) they definitely didn't disclose all the side affects! It gave me an extra period, I thought there was something seriously wrong with me 😅 the doctor told me it was hormone related from the vaccine.
Tbf, I do think the covid vaccine situation is still quite different from ozempic. And I think the whole narrative that people were effectively forced to have it or they wouldn't let you in to public spaces is a bit disengeneous- at that point people did still have the choice to keep isolating, they just weren't happy with the consequences of their choices, and you can't really expect to be welcomed into public spaces during a pandemic when you're not willing to protect yourself or others.
My aunt's daughter accidentally gave her a double dose last Wednesday. She is a diabetic. 5 days later, She isn't eating and drinking without vomiting. I think she might pull through but it's all up in the air at this point. 🤷🙏
Wasn't an accident 😮 keep an eye on your aunt
That's your AUNTS fault she overdosed her !!!
@@unknownunknown2576 Seriously, there are VERY clear numbers. Like, it's just dashes until you get to the specific dose (ie. 0--------0.5----------1). You have to be adjusting the dial on purpose to double the dose.
Hospital?
Shes not eating much they gave her anti nausea vaccine. Seems to be doing better. 🤷
Messing with your health and body this bad is never worth it...
Well, I've got two neighbors on it, so I'll see what happens. Of course, I'm not interested in it because every single person that's taken it says that they have to take it for the rest of their life. Not as an addiction but because the doctors said that the weight would come back. That just does not sit right with me.
My neighbors were obese and not particularly well off. Some insurances seem to cover it.
And the faces at the beginning seem to be a normal reaction to weight-loss and probably malnutrition. I remember watching Biggest Loser all the time, and some of the people would just age 20+ years after losing weight. For others, it was the reverse. There was this one woman who won the at-home prize. Before weight-loss, she looked to be a bubbly woman in her 30s. After weight-loss, she looked to be in her 60 or 70s. I think if you just starve yourself instead of exercising, it really contributes to aging you preemptively.
Ozempic $900 To $1000 month without insurance.
Surgery $20,000.
Diet and exercise, $0
You know what’s REALLY toxic? Beauty standards
