I wish more doctors still had passion for truly helping others and not just making a dollar. This man seems genuine and like he genuinely wants people to be healthy

[@tanja0411]

I think about do but they get beaten down by insurance companies and terrible greedy executives. I’m a physician recruiter - it really is awful

[@NSoutherland_WellnessMD]

There are a lot of doctors with a passion. Insurance is a tricky thing and doesnt really pay for wellness, they pay for sickness. I had my own practice for 5 years. DPC...monthly payment $95..come in as much as you like. No insurance. A lot of it was me and my personal healing ( not all black MDs come from middle and upper class families). A lot of it was people thinking insurance was better than someone focused on you and your wellness. Folks would just stop paying me. Now working in a place where I serve the underserved and hope to try to bring them some wellness. Im hoping to get heart and business mind together. Its a challenge. More than anything I want US to heal so we can be healthy.

[@tanja0411]

@@NSoutherland_WellnessMD As a physician recruiter and someone who managed locums (very expensive temporary and traveling doctors) I agree. I saw them and actually all of us (worked in two large hospital systems) become non-stop demoralized and also constantly angry by toxic, non-innovative and greedy administration and executives. Healthcare reform is very very badly needed.

[@hamanibrown5117]

Eat whole foods (organic and non gmo as much as possible - no processed foods and seed oils,) excercise 3 times a week, and get good rest. Its cheaper than medical bills and prescriptions. Also, FASTING !

I‘be been in Ozempic for 4 months I lost 35lbs and my side effects now are very minimal. I feel much better health wise. If anything, I’m constipated sometimes.

[@ThatCreoleMan]

Drink more water.💦 the medication 💊 could possibly dehydrate your system. (Not a doctor)

[@Ceemoore3000]

How many mg? Are you under a Dr. care? Some are getting these GLP1 drugs from compound pharmacies and are getting labs done regularly. I think these are the people who have experienced stomach paralysis just my theory.

Ozempic for weightloss is wild. Outside of health issues, most people have discipline issues.

Why they feel the need to do politics when they’re not fully informed and don’t have enough time to do it right I just don’t get. It’s just aggravating and divisive. They have so much other stuff they can address; tons of content ideas

I see the scan is trade marked. Is it offered anywhere else outside of New York?

[@bellagreen6084]

Looks like they’re only in New York but I’m in Houston and found a place that offers scans and are highly rated on Google. The price is only $99 for husband and wife (this is a special). I say all that to say see what’s available for you in your city and what the prices are. Good luck!

[@lamarcoupe]

I'm in my early 40s so I'm mindful and want to pass the message to my younger folks. Food with a lot sodium contributes to high blood pressure. the max a day is 1000 mg, and unfortunately, a lot of us go over the mark. This is why you also see people suffer from strokes and heart attacks. You can't overdo eating fried foods. There are apps you can download to measure your sodium imtake.

[@bigwats1250]

2100 mg is the limit

[@lamarcoupe]

@@bigwats1250 Actually The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 mg a day and moving toward an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 mg per day for most adults. However if you already have high blood pressure say hypertension stage 2 not the best ideal to consume pass 2100mg.

[@bigwats1250]

@lamarcoupe yea but sodium is not all that bad for people. It's bad when u have to much sodium with low amount of Potassium and magnesium that causes highblood pressure. It's the imbalance of nutrition

[@lamarcoupe]

@bigwats1250 exactly, which is why I said too much sodium contributes to high blood pressure. You exceed the amount on a daily basis you're going to have issues such as HBP.

[@ohheyitsnicol]

Why are people commenting he should promote fasting … do you know how dangerous that would be? Fasting is not a simple thing when you skip meals and not eating until whatever time of day. It’s realistic for someone to incorporate a diet that’s fitting for them and simple exercises.

OZEMPIC is not a weight loss drug!!!!!!!!! It’s a diabetic drug. The fact this “doctor” didn’t say that is crazy.

[@natashaboles2223]

Alot of medications can treat more than one element, yes its diabetic but recently it's been known to help qith weightloss as well

[@jaredlhulum]

@@natashaboles2223 but its still not a weight loss, although it helps you lose weight. Its unfair to diabetic ppl who may need it.

[@natashaboles2223]

@jaredlhulum I gwt what you are saying but that's like saying birth control is just that only, when it's prescribed for hormone treatments, acne, joint health alot. There are other diabetic medications as well. This one just helps with weightloss

[@jaredlhulum]

@@natashaboles2223 by your own logic, there are other weight loss drugs as well, drugs that are meant for weight loss ONLY, no need to deprive ppl who really need that drug. (I went to the pharmacy the other day and it was sold out, and the diabetic man who needed it couldn't purchase it.) Overweight ppl don't need that drug; they need discipline... not to mention, there are many ways to loss weight, naturally...

[@natashaboles2223]

@jaredlhulum just like as the doctor states you can treat diabetes in other ways even naturally

[@Dancer5424]

I was on Ozempic and lost weight but the side effect I experienced was extreme depression so I stopped taking it.

[@Ceemoore3000]

How much weight did you lose? Where you able to maintain the weight loss.

[@jaredlhulum]

one of my friends told me she had to be hospitalized because it made her vomiting a lot and gave her diarrhea, and she thought she was going to die.

[@Ceemoore3000]

Food desserts are real, environment, and stress affect our health. So many of us are misinformed on nutrition and don't drink enough water, each fresh fruit and vegetables or exercise at least 30 minutes 3-4x a week.

[@thecompilations4816]

He looks like an actor. Can't think which

[@yourdopeauntie8130]

Constipation is more common with using Ozempic than diarrhea because the drug slows down digestion.. Eating one meal a day is fine if you take supplements in addition to a well balanced meal.

[@taylargrant3604]

Idk.. I get where the breakfast club is coming from by trying to educate us, but the way this man is dodging a lot of questions Kind of scares me. It’s almost like he wants to be the good guy but wants to get paid as well. The American Heart Association has a lot of information on the website that if you do more research, the tips they give you actually aren’t helpful. It’s almost like they’re trying to keep you in this, so that money continues to come in. Do you research people.. Charlemagne you do not have to be on that track forever, if you change your diet, you would be amazed what drugs you would probably stop taking.. hope y’all stay safe out here💖

[@pousseandco]

He wasn't dodging questions to be shady. He knows that anything he says the people watching will take as the gospel and hold him responsible for anything that goes wrong due to his words. Usually doctors will tell you to "discuss with your own medical advisor" instead of answering vague questions.
