Dr. Youn, are you getting kickbacks from Ozempic? I can't believe what I'm hearing you say. I'm a nurse and also currently a med student. No only have I had to deal with patients who are suffering from serious side effects but I am personally watching people who I work with everyday at the hospital are suffer from terrible Ozempic side effects. And YES the majority of them have Ozempic face. SMH. I'm so disappointed in you.

A woman in Australia died a horrible death from these medications, that she used for weight loss. 60 minutes Australia covered the story. Other doctors have pointed out the dangers of using these bc the studies that were done were to see the affect on diabetes for a short term period not longer term use when diabetes was not present. As this "quick fix" has become viral many people who have taken this for it's intended use have said that when they stop taking it the cravings are so bad that they often gain the weight back. You have covered this topic before and in your comment section people who have used it have warned of its side effects etc. I'm really surprised by this sudden turn in opinion on the misuse of a dangerous substance.

Ummm, it matters when it causes a shortage for those who actually NEED the medication.

[@Kimberly-lp4nh]

@@higherrealmholistics As a person in the healthcare field who might independently treat patients one day, I'm disappointed in you for not properly listening and comprehending what he said. The Dr. is being very factual about the realities of this medication. He's just trying to educate people because, with his years of experience, he knows it is not going anywhere. So, he'd rather have a discussion than let people believe it is a miracle drug. Also, what proof do you have from any research, studies or other peer reviewed publications that Ozempic changes your facial features in a different way than regular weight loss? Since you're a nurse and med student, surely you can explain by what mechanism the drug affects the face in a specific way.

Me too, I'm T2 diabetic with the insulins I'm on could not lose weight. Plus I'm stage 3 renal kidney failure & couldn't be on anything like that. When I lost 45 lbs on my own & everything stabilize a little better, I was able to go on Ozempic & lost another 50 lbs. Now, I've plateau & I don't eat like I use to. So, yes you still need to watch what you eat & exercise if you can. I'm limited due to knee & neuropathy issues but, try my best to get in chair exercises.

[@sabrinapruett6727]

Thank you for saying number one for all of us who work in healthcare especially endocrinology. I am a nurse who has worked in Endocrinology for 9 years and still amazed at how grown adults act over this medication. Ozempic is ONLY FDA approved for diabetes type 2. Not weight loss nor prediabetes. For weight loss talked to your insurance provider about coverage for Wegovy or Zepbound. No weight loss coverage, research intermittent fasting. God bless and try your best before using meds.

[@shelleybelleyHI]

I'm a pharmacy tech, and we had a doctor who was working with Novo Nordisk (he had a lot of "vacations" and "dinners" paid by them) to do trials with Ozempic for weight loss. My pharmacist and I were in shock, especially after going over the package insert on the side effects. We had people with hypothyroidism , kidney issues, and other medical problems that were happy to inject. I bet you have more of the horror stories than I do.

Fasting definitely helps with weight loss. If you have a carb craving, sniff some essential.oil.of vanilla. It tells your stomach you are full. Old remedy. You will not end up.looking like a corpse line Ozempic patients do.

I personally know 4 people who used Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) for weight loss and they honestly look horrible. At least 10 years older if not more than what they looked like when they had some weight on. All of them have visibly more wrinkles, saggy skin, droopy jaw line, deep under eye circles. A friend of mine had severe side effects and was sick for over 2 weeks. She stopped taking it.

[@gur262]

It's no wonder. I mean. Seems to me a not so small number of people basically crash diet on that stuff. When you go into caloric deficit it would be wise to make sure you still get vitamins and protein etc in. If you just eat less of the trash you usually ate no wonder you may suffer for it. Very fast weight loss makes it worse and is just super stressful on the body, if you are hungry or not

[@enaika]

Celebrities owe no one information about their medical history. These people you talk about, that want and need to lose weight, are not helpless poor children that need guidance from celebrities. They have their own doctors to advise them about this issue. They just need to make the effort and ask for help. I find it so funny and entitled that so many people believe that celebrities should inspire and disclose matters like this.

@@enaikayes they dont owe them any information but imo they owe them enough to not lie about it, instead just dont say anything. its messed up to lie when you know people look up to you and have them thinking they can achieve your body naturally. me personally i'd do my own research tho, but people are gonna be people and listen to what a celeb says because they really love em. they all post themselves working out and what they eat and lead people on advertising products for weight loss when they know they were also using medication and thats the main reason they lost weight, thats messed up

[@enaika]

@@balla1570 never before have we had such an access to information and knowledge. You cannot cure stupid if all they use this opportunity for is finding gossip and basing their life choices on rumoured idols' lifestyle. Where is some common sense? It's a miserable life and lack of accountability. It's on them. You cannot blame celebrities for what people do with their lives. If they are so gullible and impressionable you would need to blame the whole world for their problems. It's pure laziness- knowledge is out there, only a few clicks away. Sure, a few clicks can be used to check on celebrities instead. You cannot fix stupid. You cannot expect celebrities to provide information about their private lives and medical history because they are not responsible for what other people do with their lives, what choices they make and who they listen to. People that look up to them are not entitled to know their health and medical history. They just look for an excuse to not make their own choices, to pretend to be someone else, someone better as they perceive them to be. Well adjusted people don't fixate like this nor do they try to imitate clearly made for screen personas.

[@fleurmal7648]

I think it does matter if they lie because if they say "I lost tons of stubborn weight only with cutting out soda", then the average person is going to be hugely disappointed when they cut out soda and don't see the same results, and blame themselves for not being good enough even though they tried. It leads to lots of self hate and confusion. It's not necessarily anyone's business how a celeb lost weight, but I don't think they should lie and give people the wrong idea about how to obtain the same results.

[@emilylee9894]

Who in the world actually said that?

[@PrincessZaire100]

I mean that’s not really fair. Just because cutting down on soda works for one person (it definitely helped me a lot), that doesn’t necessarily mean someone else is gonna get the same results. That’s the other problem is that people think what works for one person will work for them, and not taking into account that the person may have a different body type, different medical conditions, different metabolism, etc, etc.

[@jessie4127]

Well said

[@enaika]

That's on them. Cutting out soda is not trying. Sure, it's helpful but it's not a real effort so why should any of them feel confused. Weight loss and keeping normal weight means a change in lifestyle- not a quick diet. Diet means a life long lifestyle. It's not starving, not depriving yourself of anything BUT there needs to be some real efforts to make these changes. It's so easy to make excuses and act like it's done to you not done by you when you are overweight/obese or don't lose weight.

[@zamambhele4100]

Im happy for them

[@emilylee9894]

Actually, communication of use of these Rxs is protected under HIPPA medical privacy laws.vNo one has to tell anyone about their use nor why. Weight gain is associated with a long list of medical diseases and conditions. The resistance exercise, intermittent fasting with consistent intake of protein, drink8ng water, caloric restriction, yoga, etc., are still needed to maintain the weight loss and to maintain muscle mass over time whether one is seeking to lose weight or not. The meds help suppress appetie and cravings only.

I think it does matter in terms of how honest we are about it. If you did it through medication that's fine, but when you want to pretend that you didn't and then give people the unrealistic expectation of losing this amount in this amount of time which is not possible with diet and exercise. At least if you're doing it in a healthy manner, it does matter

[@ConsiderIt]

It absolutely matters of you’re lying about it and acting like it was “hard work” and “perseverance” , I while you’re doing God knows what to your bodylong term will be on it life long.

[@kristinguldner9473]

It matters. Challenging work of any kind, fasting, and sacrifices you make for others without expecting anything in return changes your brain and makes you a better and stronger person. I have a feeling he doesn't provide services for too many of those so he wouldn't know what he's talking about. Taking it long-term affects the body's ability to heal itself. Any process or procedure, including medications that give fast results without putting in the work in is bad for you. Change should be gradual. Otherwise, heart problems may occur. If that's not a primary concern over your vapid need to feel pretty look at their eyes and how sunken they are. Their skin is hanging off their bones, and their faces aged an additional 10 years in such a short time. The reason why ozempic isn't FDA approved for weight loss is that there hasn't been enough long term studies for organ failure and its increased likelihood for thyroidism.

[@lizziecross8149]

The issue with drugs like wegovy is that a lot of insurance refuses to cover it for weight loss unless you can show through test results that your weight has caused other issues. My doctor said that she thought I’d do well on it, but she told me that I’d never get them to approve it because I am too healthy. Don’t get me wrong: I have lots of things wrong with me. But I don’t have the right things wrong. I’m not even at risk for diabetes. I don’t have high cholesterol. My joints are fine. I just struggle to lose weight due to an autoimmune disorder. It sucks.

[@WorldOfEnchantment44]

I took Wegovy and I will be honest with you, Ozempic face is real! I lost weight fast and was back down to my high school size and still the same height but everyone around me told me my face looked skeletal. I compared a current picture of my face now to when I was the same weight back is high school and I definitely looked skeletal. It’s because I lost weight so fast, your skin doesn’t have time to slowly settle into the new shape, causing the horrifying Ozempic face. It definitely happened to me and I got off it right away and my face went back to normal once I gained 10lbs back

[@Hannahgs]

Like he said, that’s not because of the drug specifically, it’s because you lost weight quickly. It would have happened with or without the meds because of the rapid weight loss. So calling it “ozempic face” is misleading.

[@RTCPhotoWork]

In addition to it being from rapid weight loss, what you described is also due to aging. As we age, there are fewer/smaller fat deposits in our face. We can be heavier than our 18 year old self by 10-15 pounds but have our face look close to the same. If we weigh the same or less than our youthful self, our faces WILL look more gaunt than when we were younger. So, that's two things at play in your story and probably in the "Ozempic face" examples we see in celebrities (whose examples are probably made more extreme because of use of cosmetic procedures like fillers on high points and lips).

[@Lovlv1908]

Thanks doc . Bc I am needed intervention with weight loss and so many negative opinions just thank you .

[@DayKT401]

It matters when celebrities who influence young people are lying and making their lives out to be something it’s not which then leads to all sorts of issues in these young people who think they should be just like them. That’s why it matters. No one cares that they’re fat or skinny really, what we really wanna know is the truth behind it.

It's annoying that if someone loses weight now, everyone says it's Ozempic.

[@Ershnill]

PCOS had been a struggle losing weight all my life. Keto is a game change.

[@mts6107]

“What does it matter?” Indeed why do grown ass adults care what other grown ass adults are doing as long as it’s legal and consensual? I will literally never understand why you care. This goes for SOOOOOO many things.

[@biddinge8898]

My father was on ozempic for a while now. He's having to use manojour (i think thats the name) instead. He loses a decent amount of weight though, he still has a tight beer gut somehow but he does lose weight. He usually just does cardio on a excercise bike though.

I'm down 30 lbs and it's changed my life!!

[@cynthiabellack7994]

If 30 lbs has changed your life, you didn't need the medication to lose weight, and you're taking the drug away from a diabetic whose life would ACTUALLY be changed by the medication. 😒

[@Cherokee51774]

People want instant results. Whether it be surgery, drugs, etc. When you don't change your habits & lifestyle you're going to put it all back and have worse health issues.

[@marliseisrael3017]

It matters because with those drugs people are stopping and gaining double or triple the amount of weight they had before. Plus stomach paralysis and damages to the colon and pancreas to where people are accidentally pooping in their bed. And those medical conditions are irreversible

[@enaika]

It's not because of the med that people gain the weight back but because they overindulge themselves and overeat after they stop thanking the medication. That's a lack of accountability, blaming the med.

[@colesuqs]

I cannot wait for my next Dr appointment to ask for Ozempic! Idc what people say lol i need help loosing weight dang it!

[@ivy_1990]

Side effects and longterm effects matters.

[@BL-rb7jm]

my neighbor just died from this. she developed pancreas cancer.

[@lornalulich9562]

I think if your not a diabetic you should be taking Ozempic. Lots of people are asking their doctors to prescribe it for them. When us diabetics are trying to get it to lose weight that insulins put on us. I haven't had an issues yet in getting my supply but, some people have. Does make me worry if one day I will.

[@AM09286]

Does it help with inflammation? There’s a KZbinr who claims she only takes it for inflammation (not weight loss) even though she lost weight taking it.

[@HealthyD12]

Are you serious ???? Who takes a med like ozempic instead of eating an antiflammtory diet ???? Like the two doesn't compare to all those side effects from ozempic

[@AM09286]

@@HealthyD12 I thought exactly the same thing when she said it. I think it’s sounds like a cover for just taking the medication tbh but was wondering if it does have anti inflammatory side effects too.

[@sunnykwest]

Exactly

[@eliasanasanchez3926]

Ozempic is now fda approved for weightloss

[@OBVIOUSLYEVELYN]

You should do a reaction video of Nikocado Avocado… cause his weight loss transition is crazy. 😭

[@balla1570]

i know a celebs image is one of the most important parts of their brand but sheesh. some of them be doing too much and the fans dont even care for all of that, they be forgetting they made it because of who they are, well except for the ig models and those who ENTIRE brand is based on their look.

[@savvyshelly3983]

It matters because these same people will say they did “x” diet, “y” exercise routine, “z” fad to lose all that weight, and people will believe that. Then, those people will be devastated that it didn’t work for them, but the celebrities won’t say anything about that.

[@enaika]

It's only stupid and ignorant that seek guidance in places like this. They don't put any effort into getting healthier. Are celebrities doctors? Since when are they dieticians or have to disclose their private information? It's the people that are the issue not the celebrities. It's one of the excuses, blaming the wrong people for their lack of accountability and failures.

[@mariacrivera4055]

I wonder if this is expensive it looks like it works

[@meghanodonoghue9066]

Guys, three words- permanent stomach paralysis.

[@Killakallie92]

Yup

[@cherylbritt7227]

I’ve lost 30lbs since July and at my goal weight!

[@MegaBrandon3]

Song is wild

[@rhiannongreen2642]

My biggest issue with this trend is Ozempic is the DIABETES medication, it's essential to my aunts sugar regulation as other drugs haven't worked but she can't get her prescription filled

[@vegandolls]

it matters a lot

[@etherealone]

Exactly. The only thing that's important is that you lost weight. Obesity isn't funny.

[@redhandedgirl5774]

Gastro-paresis. Have fun. Eat less, move more.
