Why are you saying ozempec? It's ozempic.

[@hansdewit9444]

My g.p.'s assistent had it prescribed for me, she probably could get a bonus for it😠 I was told she and the g.p. thought a needed an antagonist and this was it, absolutely! I checked the internet for the list with side effects and was absolutely shocked! I called the doctor's office to cancel the prescription but got stonewalled, Iwas told everybody was busy and I could not be put through to the g.p. or this assistant. I then called the pharmacy and canceled it there. This medicine is very dangerous and for me, 75 kilo's and 1m78, totally useless.Better are daily walks with the family dog, riding a bike for the groceries and working out on a hometrainer in the living room while watching t.v.,i.o.w. doing everything but stuffing your face.

We all know somebody who says they've tried everything to no avail, but is always stuffing themselves with junk food, always talking about food and we all know they tried everything except going into a diet for more then a month straight.

[@JOShaugh87]

I've taken it with much success, I was class 3 obese (the fattest on the chart)... I've been a yo-yo dieter my whole life and 10+ years of working in offices and being sedentary the pounds just piled on. I had high blood pressure, CPAP, constant back/knee pain. I had to get spine surgery in 2021 which gave me a horrible infection which almost killed me. That was all 100% from being fat. I own my mistake though...nobody put those burgers and all that garbage in my mouth but me. In my case I feel strongly that it was worth the risk. 6'4" tall I went from 315 to 185 and 42 waist to 32 waist. I also completely changed my relationship with food, I read the nutrition label on everything before eating it. I count macros now & exercise 5 days a week. As a result of losing all the weight my T levels have surged and I feel absolutely awesome I literally cannot sit still. I've been on both sides of the health spectrum and I will never ever go back. Been off it for a couple of months now, it requires work & discipline. The same way it would with any other diet. I do 100% agree with him though, people looking to lose a few pounds should not do this. Risk vs Reward.

As a person with diabetes whose blood sugars could not be controlled by 3 medications, I have added Ozempic as well. With one box (6 doses) my blood sugar levels and other indicators on blood tests improved dramatically. Then stock became unavailable in Australia - but the 6 weeks of Ozempic made a serious impact on my blood markers that remained for months. It was a horrible experience of nausea, reflux, and extreme bloating. I already have gastro paresis (slow stomach emptying). Ozempic slows it down even more. I have accessed it again now. I am in extreme discomfort - but given this is not for vanity, I am enduring it. The titration steps are the worst. Maybe things will settle down. Thanks for interviewing Dr Hyman. He is someone I respect. Obesity is so so complex. Cheers, Anna.

[@LisaY4yeshua]

I have a good friend who was on it for a year. She was suicidal and depressed every day while on it. She lost 80 lbs and her muscles were gone. She still had fat roles on her stomach and looked skinny fat. She ate junk food and doughnuts the entire time she was on it. One year later, she's gained 20 lbs back. Her diet is exactly the same. I don't understand why people do this to themselves.

[@coolbreeze5683]

Maybe the diet choices were due to the depression. If you were to replace the junk food with red meat, chicken, fish then it would be pretty effective. Hope your friend is doing better tho, I truly do, depression is no joke.

[@flybriur]

I think it really depends on the person and the situation. I'm looking to lose about 50 lbs. I was an athlete through my childhood, high school, and some of college. Used to eating whatever I want and either not gain any weight or sometime even lose weight when in season. As I got older and more sedentary, the weight slowly started to pile on. Over the last few years though, while my weight has fluctuated about 10 lbs or so, it hasn't gone up past a certain point. So for me, I'm considering it as a short-term assist to initially lower my weight. Will I gain some of it back after I stop? Probably. But I think I will still be able to keep myself weighing considerably less, as I have been able to keep myself at a relatively consistent weight now -- it's losing larger amounts of weight over a long period of time that has been the struggle. As with any drug though, it's not a miracle, and there are always side effects and consequences to consider, so I don't take considering it lightly.

[@hp-cs7mx]

It's going pretty well my almost debilitating arthritis is 90% better and I can actually walk for exercise again. I have to really watch my carbohydrates like a hawk however and I didn't really realize how carbohydrate heavy American food was until I had to actually keep track of it...you can't just look for 0 sugar and forget the carbohydrates hiding in your food.

My diabetes was getting under control on a keto diet. After being successful on it for 8 years, now for the last two years my bs is always 150 +. .After a frustrating 2 years of trying, I got prescribed Ozempic after carefully examining the side effects. On week 1 I am doing well and continue my low carb diet.

[@bernadenegreen7997]

Australia. I am a type 2 diabetic, was put on this late last year. Quite often cannot fill my prescription as not enough available. Have travelled up to 2 hours away to get it filled and had to go through 100 questions to get it via the chemist. (Which was fine) the chemist refused to put it aside until we could drive to the chemist, so could well have turned up to find it no longer available . We will not do this (travel distances) to get this script filled again, the fuel cost is crap, so we can’t afford to do this sort of running around. We do not eat processed foods, haven’t done so for 20 plus years. Grow our own veg, eat little mea, try to balance our diet. My doc has been great, explained possible side effects, I have checks every month, found I wasn’t drinking enough water, so have bumped that up and found tests results improved massively. (I have only two cups of instant coffee a day, 1 cup of tea, rest of the time water). Every time I go to the toilet, I have a 200ml glass of water to ensure my kidney function is optimumised. Constipation is a problem, so I have all bran and prunes each mid morning, as brunch, occasionally I may have a cup of home made soup for mid arvo and then a proper meal of a night, small portion of protein and veg or salad. I have lost a huge amount of weight, over 40 kg, so now I have options open to me to have knee surgery done, which will allow me to walk more and hopefully pain free, then I hope I can drop the Ozempic, as I should be able to maintain the diet and exercise. My diabetes is well under control and if I can keep the weight from returning it should be good. Like every medication available, there are possible side effects, most people don’t read the information included with the meds, and don’t query with their doctor regularly about what meds they are taking and if any can be dropped or dose lessened. I think my doctor must cringe when he sees me at times, I write out questions, check what else I can be doing etc. I am never made to feel like a fool for my queries and I do appreciate that attitude. So for me so far, Ozempic is working. But I do detest all the hype it has been given as a weight loss drug, which unfortunately is making it very difficult for diabetics to be able to get regular supply, if you do not require this drug for its intended use, find other ways. No hate responses please, just expressing my experience with the drug.

[@LogiCrux]

I am a type 2 diabetic. I am on Mounjaro and have been on Ozembic. I was already skinny when I started taking these medications. I have lost more weight, and it does suppress my appetite, which is great for controlling your sugar levels. But, you do have to work on eating when you're not hungry. I have struggled with energy levels and some minor digestive issues. I do still work 12 hour shifts a day at a rigorous manufacturing plant. It can be managed as long as you make the efforts to compensate for the side effects of these medications. So, like any medication, you need to make additional lifestyle changes to counteract the effects of drugs like Ozembic. These medications for diabetes type 2 are amazing, but I would not recommend them solely for weight loss.

[@mz3735]

People don't realize that if they do intermittent fasting everyday, eat clean food (as little sugar, additives, pesticides, modifiers, vegetable oils etc as possible), and combine that with a moderately active lifestyle, they will lose fat. Because the fat gained happens from a combination of eating bad foods and not moving much. It is not fatty food that makes you fat, it is rathe bad foods that do. Natural fats, protein and carbs are good for and meant for the body. I have been eating real butter, animal fat and cream etc for years now and my blood work shows perfect levels. I have also slowly lost fat over the months and gained muscle. And that is without making my meal size smaller. I do also get to enjoy a glass of wine every once in a while, and natural homemade desserts. I once tried to eat sugar again after I quit for weeks, and my stomach had a severe reaction, which I interpret as a normal reaction to poison. Changing lifestyle is the way to go. NOT ozempic. We are living in a quick fix society, and it never bears fruit. The only solution to a global weight loss, is will power, making organic foods affordable, and eliminating toxins from our food. Since this will not happen, because of how food companies and big farma will lose customers from it, each individual has to take their own bodily health into their own hands.

This has to be a joke. I’ve lost 100 in 10 months by taking a weekly injection of semaglutide. I already had been eating well and excersizing daily.. before the semaglutide I spent a year going to gym five days a week. The harder I worked out, the hungrier I was that day. I felt helpless. After a year, I ditched my membership and dedicated my exercises to half indoor half outdoor. Then I found out about semaglutide.. started losing weight the first week. My appetite reduced.. Not just my appetite and eating less , but also cannabis and nicotine. I’m 6’5. I was at my highest weight ever when I began the weekly treatment at 310 pounds. I weighed in today at 211. Went from a 42 waist to a 36. The only thing I did for my diet was avoid as much processed food as possible, and watched my sugar intake. I did little things like get the low sugar, low-carb vanilla ice cream instead of the Ben & Jerry’s. Other than that, the white just fell off of me and I still have no clue how. my average white throughout my life has been 250. When I was 16 and I was starving myself I got down to 230. Before the medication I had not been below 250 since at least my college days. I’m 32 now. This medication gave me my life back. Without the extra weight, I can do push-ups properly. I used to be somebody that refused to look at themselves naked in the mirror. Now it’s hard to get me to keep on a shirt. It’s really funny hearing you talk about all of this in a fearful manner. I believe that most of the horror stories that have been told so far are just getting paid to say so (probably by someone that’s been skinny their entire life) it’s been a lifelong battle. I remember going to “kid fit camp” during my summers in middle school. I only hit 230 when I was 16 because my doctor gave me medication for ADHD that made my appetite disappear, and I took advantage of it. Which obviously eventually sent me into a spiral. The second I stop eating in a calorie deficit manner I would blow up like a balloon overnight. Moral of the story don’t let any skinny person gaslight you into not trying it.

Nice work! Your story is just like mine. I graduated college in great shape and 10 years of working in offices/sedentary lifestyle the pounds just piled on. I lost 130 lbs in about a year and a half on it. In that time I have completely changed my relationship with food, I workout like a freak and I feel AWESOME! I tried everything over the years and nothing ever seemed to work, this stuff probably added 15 years to my life. I went from a 42 to 32 waist, 315 lbs to 185... if I didn't have all the loose skin from being fat I'd have a 6 pack. This stuff turned my life around. I've been off of it for about 2 full months and while the appetite has returned I work very hard to control it... no way am I going back to a constant back/knee pain, CPAP, High Blood pressure, and being the fat jolly and sweaty guy!

I have been off of Wegovy for 4 months and have maintained the 40 pounds I lost. Obviously I have kept my lifestyle changes, but I don't think what Dr. Hyman is saying here about the weight always coming back is really backed by the statistics. The most recent study I saw said about 25% of patients gain back ALL of their weight, 25% gain back some, 10% continue weight loss and the rest maintain. So that is 75% of people who lose weight. on this and about 50% keep it off. Further, I like Dr. Hyman on a lot of things, but, in the end, he is selling something. And these drugs mean he will sell less, it is pretty simple.

People need to find out why they over/under eat. This is usually down to mental/emotional reasons (comfort eating ect) it can take a while to get to the point where you don't emotional eat.

That will cause you more problems than being overweight in the first place!! Learn to love yourself, listen to your body... when you have had enough food to feel satisfied (not full) and ditch all the shitty food programmes you have grown up with. No more guilt trips, just loving yourself for who you are. And loving what and how much you nourish your body with. If you listen your body will tell you what you need to eat and when.

I went from a size 14 to a size 8. and I felt good. No more tiredness and weakness, I was able to do more, and mentally I was no longer depressed. Then the unthinkable happened, what no more Ozempic available, my insurance company told me. So it was on to a new drug similar to Ompezic and it worked just as well. And once again, I was told after a year No more of that either, it was on backorder for how long they didn't even know. Why, I said I didn't understand, because people are being prescribed this just to lose weight.

Do you have any idea how much a coronary bypass surgery costs? Years of diabetes supplies? Kidney transplant? Liver failure costs? One person could need all of that and more. Ozempic and other medications like it are a cost savings measure.

As an endocrinologist I did my phD on this class of drugs in 2007. This description of Ozempic is woefully lacking. As an example, any means of significant weight loss, be it diet or bariatric surgery causes lean muscle mass loss, and isn’t unique to incretin based therapies. Moreover, lean mass loss with these drugs have not been consistent, and is certainly not universally 50% as quoted here. The other major point is medicine is nuanced. It is not binary. The risks of nausea and vomiting is high, but the risks of doing nothing for obesity are higher. This also applies to the bowel obstruction and pancreatitis he talks about, which are nowhere near the figures he quotes. I work in the NHS so have no financial incentive with regard to talking about Ozempic. It also does not cost the NHS £1500 a month. This whole spiel is so disappointing and woefully lacking in objectivity.

Before Ozempic, bariatric patients knew they’d likely get skinny but lose all their muscle. It’s really hard for bariatric patients to get any protein and we lose so fast accidentally.

Do you think we should down play the side effects? There will be more of them I promise (let’s make a bet and come back in a few years). Your argument could hold up about drinking and driving to. It is not everyone that will get in to an accident. He is point out the things not saying it’s 100% And this to an audience that in my experience would cut their arm of for losing weight. If it’s not based on a natural solution it will not last and most importantly it will have side effects. It’s quite logical if you think about it objectively.

Before I would go on holiday and return with another 4kgs gained, now I go eat a bit less that's for sure but no weight gained at all, in fact I lost weight when I returned from my holiday. I can only justify that with an increase in metabolism especially since I have drank beer every days for 3 weeks on my holiday

Where do you get yours from ? I'm in the UK too 😊 xx

For many this is life changing, the blood work and over all stats for persons health and for that alone it is a HUGE benefit. For a women in menopause, who eats well but has had a struggle loosing weight, this has been amazing with little to no side effects. Many won't gain back of they maintain healthy eating and exercise. Some just need this as a jump start. My cost is 300 a month for straight semiglutide. You don't have to spend 1700 a month and these costs will come down as soon as the newness of this breaks and when people figure out you don't have to get the brands name to get the same exact medicine. All of my doctors said it would be an excellent way to get my system jumpstarted. I have increased my protein intake and have added weight lifting and for long term my food is amazing and delicious... if you need get a nutritionist. You have to eat on this medication to keep your organs and body functioning... what about the side effects of having all of the weight. Everything has to be measured when making this decision. I think heart attack for being over weight is a bad side effect of obesity too.

In Tampa you can get that for 300$ a month lol and they prescribe it out like candy

[@greatatwatido]

Listening to the side effects it inspires me to hit a diet and gym hard!

Water fasting is free

[@supernice_auto]

water isn't free

[@ohsweetmystery]

Just eat less. That not free, it saves you money.

People always look for a quick fix. Sadly.

Fasting isn't a realistic solution. If it was, everyone would be doing it.

My son was prescribed Zepbound. He has been taking it for 5 months. Now he is told Lilly can't keep up with the orders for Zepbound and he will have to switch to another drug that is more available. Big Pharm!

This drug nearly killed me. I still suffer from ptsd. Absolutely horrific experience in my life.

[@vabl894]

If you're OK to share, what happened? I'm really sorry you had a terrible experience. I'm a therapist and I'm seeing people suffer on this drug.

[@juliesmoochy3996]

@vabl894 thankyou for your concern, i suffered from extreme psychosis, anxiety, panic attacks, muscular body contractions, tachycardia of 180 bpm to 200bpm. Critical blood pressure of systolic 190 diastolic 200+ vomiting, constriction of the throat unable to swallow. Suicidal thoughts, not being able to breathe, sweating, extreme adrenaline surges, fainting. I was hospitalised on many occasions and being totally gaslighted by the medical profession. I stopped the drug myself and within a few months I regained myself. I'm now on long term medication for blood pressure, mental health and pain relief because of this horrific drug. There was no care whilst I was on this medication. My consultant actually ghosted me when I asked for him to fill in a yellow card regarding my serious reactions.

[@vabl894]

@juliesmoochy3996 I'm so sorry and I'm glad you listened to yourself and got off the meds. I predict this will be like all other weight loss pharmaceuticals...terrible long-term research, people being harmed (with some deaths) and lawsuits starting up. I hope you continue to heal❤️

[@juliesmoochy3996]

@vabl894 Thank you. i send you all my best wishes too. 🥰😊

[@staceycobbler2545]

@@juliesmoochy3996 Absolutely heartbreaking. I'm so sorry this happened to you. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you are healing and feeling better. 💜

Here in Australia it's about 350 AUD a month. But there is no stock for non diabetics left.

Ozempic gave me gastroperesis

I’m going off of it after 3 years. I’m starting to have issues. I didn’t lose any weight. On it for diabetes.

[@JC-lk6uc]

@@hometowngirl8062 I’ve heard some doctors say that there are some diabetics who don’t lose any weight on it, so you aren’t alone.
