I had the side effect of “insatiable appetite” from a mental health med that I must take to be stable and function. So, because of this I’ve been obese for the past 10 years no matter hard I tried, I would take my psych meds and then wake up at night and eat everything. Anyway, first dose of Wegovy and wasn’t hungry for the first time in over a decade, I’ve lost 47 pounds and joined a gym where I started strength training! I feel better than I have in ten years. My a1c is 4.9 and LDL 79. BMI 26!

Awesome!! Great to hear that, all the best in your journey

Seroquel by chance? One dr I had gave me it for sleep. Off label low dose. It caused insane night time hunger. I would wake up 1 hour after falling asleep like clock work...and I'd be starving.

[@lcmd91]

Congratulations. Keep it up

[@limitisillusion7]

It's so disappointing when I see this daisy chained drug usage. It's like no one cares about solving the underlying issues, they just want to run away from the catalyst and treat symptoms. It's one thing if you have an organ that literally doesn't function, but mental health problems often stem from environmental issues. People will be poor, overworked, fat, depressed, and have no good relationships in their life. They'll then take antidepressants, obesity medication, food stamps, and jump on a dating app... They remain overworked, but humans can deal with a lot of stress, so minimize most of it and you'll be fine right? Then the occasional slight deviation from their medication schedule will lead to an episode that takes them right back to the reality they've been distracting themselves from with drugs, only to quickly cover it up again. Tension builds up and people do their best to bury it. Most do pretty well at that. The point isn't to say we shouldn't ever use a drug if we are in dire need. The point is that we need to pay closer to the overall patterns that are reflecting themselves in human behavior, and seek to solve the problems by fixing the environment, rather than treating symptoms that reinforce the current state of the environment. This can be done on multiple scales. An individual who has a tendency to overeat can remove junk food from their houses and shopping lists -- shop on the outside of the store or buy raw ingredients that force you to make a tray of cookies rather than buying them. Likewise, a society can collectively deem processed food as virtual poison, and take measures to make that reality known to the public. Instead though, all our solutions treat symptoms, and often one side effect will lead to another symptom. And at every turn, there's a guy and his middleman waiting to take money out of your pocket to "fix" your illness. A good portion of the time, the illness was caused by financial stress. Afterall, the correlation of income to crime, obesity, depression, and other diseases of despair are just waiting to start the next revolution, peaceful or otherwise. By accepting the treatments that capitalism comes up with for environmental caused illnesses, again, you reinforce the environment that led to treatments instead of cures. Every time you buy an anti-depressant, you feed the pharmaceuticals profit motive. If you are wealthy, mentally healthy, and emotionally healthy, but just can't stop overeating. Maybe it's because we design food to make you overeat. Maybe it's because you aren't eating food that's meant to be consumed by the human body in a natural environment. If you're wealthy, physically healthy, but you are depressed beyond imagination, maybe it's because some other aspect of your environment is failing you. Maybe it's not healthy or natural to read about the disgusting daily behaviors that 8 billion people living in a sick environments can muster in a single day. Maybe your empathy for other people's pain is trying to tell you something about your environment. But if you take an antidepressant to cover up the purpose of that empathy, what are you left with? Psychopathy? Why solve the catalysts of violence when you can find someone to build prisons and profit from imprisoning violent people? Why solve wealth inequality when you aren't personally effected, and can *probably* ignore it and get by to the end of your life? Why solve global hunger when the accompanying scarcity and strife is waiting to be milked for every dime by the military industrial complex? I don't mean to bash you for taking drugs that have helped you. I just want to point out that the pain you felt without these medications was not there by accident. That pain is an evolved response to environmental factors. If you cover up these natural responses, you inhibit your ability to solve the underlying problems. You may even inhibit your ability to see the problems at all. Your best course of action is to keep taking your medications, but be very conscious of *why* you need them. This goes deeper than simply saying "I was depressed/anxious and overeating." You need to seek out the original catalyst of the mental health issues. You need to understand that you did not solve your problems, you're merely treating them. With that fact comes a great responsibility to be aware of those symptoms as they show themselves in other people. You have experience that others who haven't suffered from the same illnesses don't have. This means you have intuition that helps you recognize symptoms of your mental health problems and food addiction when you see them in other people. You must both help others who you suspect suffer in the same ways, as well as *learn* from the similarities you have with those people. If you recognize a commonality among 95% of people with your particular mental health issues, then you've uncovered a potential catalyst. It's the original catalysts that we as a society need to focus on, otherwise the expectation is that we will all be lining up for our anti-obesity, anti-anxiety, and anti-depressant meds right after we get out of the bread line. In summary, obesity, anxiety, depression, crime, and other diseases of despair are on the rise. Wealth inequality is on the rise. Do not be so eager to treat your own problems if you don't understand why those symptoms are really there. Otherwise, you will find yourself somewhere down the road facing the consequences of someone else's problems. In the same way that you may have been disfunctional before your treatment while others looked down on you, is the same way you may look down at someone else for a different set of problems that stemmed from the same catalyst.

[@DallasJWebb]

I'm a health psychologist working in bariatrics, non-surgical weight loss, and eating disorders in Jacksonville, FL. In short, I agree with this video completely and it is very well said and put together.

[@lr6477]

Wow interesting, do you deal with binge eating disorders? I'm on liraglutide and it does nothing to stop my food desire 🙈

[@Abioticwinter]

First time watching this guy. Hes spot on. Im so sick of everyone trying to look down on and make fun of bigger people for getting help they need to lose weight. Surgery is no joke and very hard. Everyone thinks its simple and a simple fix all. Its not. With the sleeve i lost 100 pounds. Put back on around 20 after a couple of years. My doctor got me on the shot and along with my sleeve doing really good. I hit my personal goal weight. The docotrs want about 30 more pounds off of me. Since surgery i excerise more, no sodas, pay attention to what i eat. I drink a protein shake daily and use it as a meal replacement. Like my doctor told me. You have to treat this like any addiction. Its a never ending battle.

[@CorvusFPS]

My aunt was on it and lost 100lbs but built habbits to eat and due to feeling more confident works out daily now, she got off it and obv ate more but paired with her lifestyle changes she made on weygove she has kept the weight off and in fact even continued to lose 25lbs in 6 months post quitting. I love this video as it is super helpful and unbiased

[@DanK123]

That's fantastic. Hope she can maintain that for years...permanently!

[@scarred10]

That's great but most need to be on it for life because they totally rely on its effect

[@CorvusFPS]

@@scarred10 oh I agree but in reality most rely on the affect because their current poor food habits make them hungrier. If u do it right u don’t have to be on it forever but we both know 99% don’t Hahaha my aunt even said if she ate how she used too even on it her hunger was worse so as soon as she went higher in dose she cut out 80% of crap foods and she said it was night and day. Do that long enough ur body won’t crave food like it used too.

[@Rosskoflex]

My dad is down 60 lbs on semiglutide. His A1C or whatever it's called is now in normal range, and his doctor just took him off metformin, a diabetic drug. I'm proud of him. He has sulfer burps as his worst side affect.

Great timing for this vid, heard a lot about this drug recently and was wondering how it worked, what the side effects were, etc. Sounds like it could be a game-changer for a lot of people in the battle against diabesity.

[@RainCityWhispers]

I love your nuanced take on this that considers both the scientific data and the personal aspect regarding mental, emotional, cultural, economic, and societal factors surrounding obesity, satiety, and appetite. Also you never get hung up on the aesthetics or societal implications of someone's weight. It's always based around the factors like diabetes, heart disease, etc. That being fat doesn't make you a bad person.

Excellent explanation! Thank you so much for breaking this all down!

[@obfuscatid]

One of the best videos I've seen on the subject. Seems to cover major questions and provide good answers without going into deep or excessive details ... a good summary for most people on the subject. Another thing not usually covered is effect of stress of being hungry by reducing calorie intake, on hormones such as stress hormones, which after a lengthy time, might be considered chronic stress, and the effect on a person's general health that is trying to lose weight for health purposes with a low success rate.

Appreciate the push to reserve this for specific folks because there is a shortage.

[@justofficial8093]

I'm MD from Finland. Here semaglutide is primarly meant for type 2 diabetes patients who are obese or have unsatisfactory response to other diabetes medications. It is also compensated with tax money for those patients so it's easily affordable. However obese patients who don't have diabetes are willing to pay full price and suffer the side effects because it's so efficient. I wish people were that motivated to take all health improving medications I prescribe them.

[@tartantulakid666]

Another doctor who shills for big pharma.

[@BoringTroublemaker]

Wegovy is specifically approved for weight management. It’s the exact same drug as Ozempic. As an MD you should be aware of the updates in these drugs, whether they are available in your country currently or not. Your comment comes off as extremely judgmental and condescending towards obese patients - many/most of whom have struggled for decades with weight loss. Do better, doctor.

Great video! Loved listening to you in MindPump the first that day! I have to look up half of what you said because you’re too damn smart. Great point and I think it is the most important point you made in this video is if you do not correct the behavior then you will end up where you started before taking the drug. I think the loss of LBT is something that would suck because you’re not eating and might not have energy to exercise

[@Somuchtotalkabout]

[@aicrag11]

Wow I am surprised from his take. I’m glad. Dude is such a blessing.

[@rebekahgarfield4374]

I appreciate your pragmatic approach to this (no surprise). As a fitness enthusiast, health care provider, AND type 2 diabetic myself (since childhood), I think I have a reasonable perspective regarding the right types of patients who might need these meds. If they're at their wits-end with trying to lose weight and are clinically obese, it's kind of ridiculous to not try it for them (with guidance regarding other levers they can pull too) and could be the kick start they need to get started down the right path. It's nice to see you have an "in the right person and in the right situation" view on the GLP-1 agonosts!

[@williammarshall468]

I fit in that category. I'm hella fat and need to drop like 200 pounds to be considered a healthy weight. I was prescribed Wegovy but the cost for me due to my insurance is way too much, over $1k a month for a few months. Hopefully I can change my plan later this year and my employer will still cover it. I feel like a lot of people aren't trying to change their eating habits while taking semaglutide so they will just gain it back once they are off the medicine.

[@brucejensen3081]

Like all fat people that have tried to lose weight, have lost weight, only some lose as much as they want. I guess it's a battle and by the time they get the weight off they are mentally done and can no longer control the urges. If the fight was easy, they should not so mentally destroyed and could go on a plan to build the muscle back and keep the fat off. Nobody really talks about what to do when the fat has been lost and the program to go on, to fix the metabolic adaptation. To me it's about lifting weights and training super hard, but not too long or often. If that is less excercise than you were doing during fat loss, you don't need to eat more straight away, but gradually eat more as metabolism increases. If you are building muscle at a reasonably fast rate, metabolic adaptation will be reversed in under 2 months. I finished a diet 6 weeks ago, because my blood pressure had got too low, now I am finding it hard to eat enough.

[@texasjody9835]

Agree with your view. Some people just think they found a magic pill. I’m sure they are still hitting the fast food drive thru, hitting the bars but not hitting the gym.

[@Pyrrho_]

"Try" it? It works but as soon as you quit the weight comes back. It's a lifetime commitment because people can't eat better and exercise more. Improve your discipline, improve your life.

[@missjustice2730]

It's designed to change the eating habits. It teaches that eat not enough you wont loose a thing, you need to eat. If you eat "bad foods" you get punished by feeling sick, and explosive toilet time. Or the polar opposite.....If you eat high protein low fat, you feel fine and it also shows on the scales. You typically will go through one or several periods of platau so they tend to look to diet/exercise changes to work out why, for the price people want it to work. For this reason I feel the cost should be high. It keeps people accountable and on track.

[@sansfreewill3843]

Absolutely! I believe discipline involves a variety of behaviors that are not always generalized across settings and events. It’s never too late to expand our learning repertoires. These medications might bring people into closer contact with those positive results which reinforce good health behaviors, thus making it more likely folks will follow through with nutrition plans (I.e., it seems possible these meds can help promote/increase good discipline, if played right).

Great take Layne! My Doc has me on Ozempic, 6 weeks in. We decided to use it to help me get to a weight for surgery on my knee. Really hard to work out more if you have a wrecked knee and simple mechanics like walking are a challenge. Since day one, I have worked with my PT and nutritionist on the "reversing" off the drug. The lifestyle change is really important. It's disappointing that many chase stuff like this as a wonder "drug" and do nothing to change their habits for longer term success.

[@MsTennisAddict]

This is great advice. Not everyone can grind and we all have areas where we are less disciplined. This should only be prescribed as a kick start to weight loss to motivate people. We have to implement the healthy habits in order to be successful in the long term. However, I find that most people just want to take it as a shortcut so they don’t have to work too hard. They love their highly palatable food and will go back to eating large quantities of it when they stop the drug…

[@sgranzyk]

Appreciate the insight. I'm on Mounjaro, and have been for about 4 months now. Re-gained all my weight after gastric sleeve - mostly because of lack of discipline. I also suffer from chronic depression in that my dopamine response is very inhibited. The reason why I mention this, is because junk food (for me) triggers that dopamine response that my body craves, and it's extremely difficult, especially in deep depressive episodes to resist the urge to eat bad food or drink alcohol. Enter Mounjaro. Thanks to this medication the urge to consume bad food is nearly zero. I've lost 30 pounds and this has given me the energy and determination to go back to the gym again. I'm so thankful for this medicine and really do think it's critical for those like me that need help resisting the brain chemistry that promotes bad habits and junk food addiction. Would really like to hear your thoughts on insulin resistance as well. Cheers!

[@AdamScottfit]

Another great video. I was thinking the same thing, for someone that in clinically overweight, it could prove to be a great tool while they focus on building the habits. One of my biggest worry would be, some people not getting in enough nutritious foods while taking it and then neglecting the habit of eating nutritious food, simply because they are just not hungry enough.

[@missjustice2730]

Gastric sleeve teaches nothing, this does. If you dont eat it stops working, some even gain weight. If you eat bad foods, it causes discomfort from feeling nauseas to it being rejected and vomited up, or very bad toilet experiences. But if you eat high protein low fat it will show in your energy levels, you feel "normal" and continue to loose weight which is only supposed to be a kg a week. Slow and steady and consistent is the goal. It also requires that you drink more (well to the standard recommended amounts) People not only loose the craving for sweet or salty foods as the insulin is more stable but it tends to make people enjoy or like the taste of things like coffee, alcohol cigarettes even medical and recreational drugs like weed and lots of people find that they use less medicines that are used in non scheduled treatment aka less use of valium, xanax is used to combat peaks in anxiety etc. Some people talk of it helping them stay sober off narcotics and stimulants. Its quite pavlovian to begin with and the 'education' comes in a physically form. Kinda how alot of over eating or bad foods and dopamine form habits before, Now you get punishment, and are not loosing like everyone else on the treatment. I do believe the community and group support pages are absolutely necessary for the encouragement and advice and suggestions and ideas. Most will experience plateaus and this causes people to look into their diets and exercise habits as its too expensive to just take and wait until it ends. When correctly used it should be done with a reverse of the introduction dosing process. So a weekly or incremental decrease so that the body and you can adjust and change your habits accordingly. To relearn the hunger curs and sensations and what helps to keep them at bay.

This was a great summary but with one omission. The weight lost with these drugs is a much higher percentage of lean mass vs fat when compared to a standard lifestyle, exercise, and diet regime. Also there is a tic up in heart rate. So the pros and cons need to be weighed carefully, particularly with adolescents. Long term studies need to be done to assure of no long term negative effects. That said, the scales tip in favor of those with difficulty in managing severe metabolic syndrome. Key is to be informed.

Love the video. Thanks for explaining, I struggled forever to lose weight but no luck. I would lose and gain right back due to strong hunger. 3 weeks on Wegovy, losing weight
