EP 106: Ozempic Done Right Part 1 | Solo Episode

[@JackieOlantern]

Im 56 and took Mounjaro for only 2 months in 2022 to lose 20 stubborn menopause lbs. I have lifted weights and worked out consistent for 35 plus years. I lost 25 lbs in 2 months, no side effects, reset my “set point” and have kept it off for a year and 1/2. You HAVE to increase your protein intake and exercise WHILE TAKING THESE SHOTS. I feel amazing! 123 lbs with lean muscle and my metabolism is kicking! Thank you for this video!!!!!

[@reneewemmerloredo1405]

What was your dose throughout that time?

[@kthermiotis]

wao - im going to start it now. 2.5 mg and then go up to 5 mg. - hope it works as well as it did for you

[@carmaela2689]

Thank you! This is what I want to know. Getting ready to start down this path for the same reason. I gained 20 perimenopause lbs and it will not budge! My plan of attack was to prioritize protein and good fiber rich whole plant foods and weight train. Your experience seems healthy and reasonable. I'm excited. I already exercise and weight train but this weight is just so stubborn.

[@JackieOlantern]

@@carmaela2689 I’m excited for you! My doctor suggested it after checking my hormone levels. She said you are healthy and in shape and I think this will get you back to where you were. And it did. Good luck!!! 🤩

[@sherrilynn6222]

I'm only half way through the podcast. Had to comment. I'm using compounded Tirzepatide. I am 56, super obese most of my life. I've had VSG in 2015, gained back all that I lost. I call myself a food addict. This medicine is literally saving my life. My starting weight on this medication was 392 pounds! I could barely stand, walk or do much of anything. I started 7/1/23. I am down 50 pounds! Tirz is saving my life. My "food noise" is so quiet now, it's the most amazing thing to not have food in your thoughts all the time. I don't plan on going off of it, just got the mental thing! Hopefully I can continue to get it compounded. But I love compound. I am in control. I can go slow on titrating up. Its an amazing thing. I eat correctly. Not exercising yet, I plan on it soon.

[@sherrilynn6222]

Update! On Friday march 15 I officially hit 100lbs lost all on compound tirzepatide. Miracle is the correct phrase! 7 1/2 months to lose 100 pounds.

At the point that I lost over 20% of my body weight my T2 diabetes is gone, high blood pressure is gone, high cholesterol is gone, arthritis is gone, acid reflux is gone and no more sleep apnea. I presently down 7 prescription medications (2 are related to anxiety and the rest are all part of 'metebolic' syndrome). Off Ozempic now for over 4 months and still lost 25 pounds (total lost is over 30% - 223.5 lbs down to 149.6 lbs) due to new nutrtional plan and physical exericse plan.

[@pollypan5404]

THANK YOU, thank you, thank you for finally telling the truth about this drug. I started Oz April 2022 and I'm down 120lbs. I worked the drug from day one instead of letting the drug do all the work. The other thing I've done which I'm absolutely positive is why I've been able to keep it off with no trouble is lower the does every 30 lbs for a few months and used food and exercise to keep my weight stable. Then I increased my dose for the next 30 or so lbs. It has worked wonders for me. Without this drug I'm positive I'd be dead. I'm 60 and suffer a plethora of auto immune diseases so I've never exercised. Now I do water aerobics, rebound and use the TRX strength system daily. All the best to everyone who's here looking for the truth. We got this!!

[@Winnipig2]

I went through infertility and lots steroids for sinus infections. I gained so much weight and then it got out of control. I just gave up and started just binging😢 I kept asking my Drs to please help.I ended up in ICU for 4 days. I needed this weight gone. I was dying. I finally got a male PA. He asked me why I wasn't on meds to loose this weight. I explained to him, Dr said no and it was to expensive. He said he will prescribe it and knew where to get it safely for $200 a month. This PA saved my life. I have lost 90lbs. Only time it makes me sick is when I consume to much sugar. I have seen the side effects and figured they can't be worse than what I was going through now😢 So excited to be healthy again❤

[@slavi7191]

I had a great experience on Ozempic. I'm a 36 year old woman who went on it for weight loss, and I'm off of it now. Lost 20 lbs I just couldn't lose even with all the intense exercises and dieting for 5 years. I promise you.....for 5 years I truly tried, and I gained lots of muscle tissue through weight lifting, but still held onto the 20 lbs of fat. I just could not shed it. I also am no rookie to strength training and dieting and for some reason I just could not slim down. And this stuff helped me. For me, it was a God sent. I had minimal side effects, still had an appetite, ate good food, kept it down. The only downside was that I felt cold more often and at the beginning of a dose increase I felt more fatigued and a bit more nausea (not bad at all) the first few days. A week into the dose change, it all tapers off. That's about it....

[@dogcrazy25]

Did you regain any of the weight after going off the drug?

[@slavi7191]

@kirshens it has only been 2 months. So, nothing yet. I am watching what I eat, though, and I do intermittent fasting from 7 pm until noon or 1 pm the following day. I also want to be very transparent and just mention that I do weight train (intensely) at least 3 times a week also. And I plan on losing another 15 lbs or so, and I'm just taking a 3 month break before I go back onto the medication. I will probably go back on it in July. After that, I plan to go off of it as I will be at my ideal weight.

[@dixiedaye8851]

How long did you stay on it? Xx

[@slavi7191]

@dixiedaye8851 about a year and a half, but I went off of it about twice during that time. Once was off of it for about 3 months, and then the 2nd time, I went off of it for about 2 months. I only lost like 20 lbs in that entire year and a half time. My point is that it didn't kill my appetite completely like it does for some. I still ate. It's just that I got satiated quicker than before. But I could still finish meals. It wasn't like I took one bite, and I was done, like how some people say they are when they're on it.

[@danielajax1302]

Hi I’m your same age and just started. I’m noticing similar things. Is there a reason why you went off of it during that 1.5 yr? Also what’s the longest period of time you were on it? Thanks so much for the input

[@MiamiMom63]

I’m 61 and have been taking Ozempic for 6 months and have lost 50 lbs. I m type 2 diabetic, obese, high blood pressure for years, and have a lot of blockage in one of my arteries. I am supposed to see my cardiologist next week about it. I was told Ozempic won’t decrease my blockage but that it keeps it from getting any worse, which was the reason my insurance covers it. But it still costs me about $280 a month taking 1 mg weekly. I’ve been on 1 mg for about 2-3 months and really hope to stay there since it costs so much and I prefer not increasing it. It still keeps my appetite in check. I have given up alcohol, breads, rice, potatos, greasy or fried foods, processed foods and sugar. I’m very careful with my sugar and unhealthy carbs intake. My numbers are very good now and I feel it has helped me to get back to seeing and wanting good Whole Foods and resist the bad foods because the food noise is gone now. I still need to lose a good 50 pounds or slightly more maybe. I think it’s not right that we have to feel ashamed taking this medicine. Once you have lost some weight, people start asking how and it’s like you finally feel okay getting your picture taken with family but then you know people are going to see you have changed and start their opinions, which I don’t want to hear right now. Sometimes you have to be your own doctor and make choices best for you, but I definitely think you should be supervised by a doctor the whole way and get your blood work done during it.

[@MiamiMom63]

I do find it difficult to eat beef and have had to learn what my stomach can handle. Some might handle it okand I try to eat a little once in a great while because I know I should. I eat a lot of chicken and seafood and pork, and nuts and also found a good protein shake for breakfast because in the morning I am nauseous and can’t eat but can handle the shake and help get my protein up. Eggs and nuts are great too so I’ve learned what my stomach handles and at first I was getting so nauseous and even vomiting because Iwas still not eating what I should on this medicine and it took me a bit to really learn about all the hidden sugars and carbs in some of the things I was eating.

@@ConnieKnepper I was sick and still sometimes get queasy but not as bad. It took me awhile to figure out what I could and couldn’t eat that would make me sick on this medicine. I can’t eat greasy foods. Even beef can be too greasy and I only eat a little sometimes. If I eat too much, I have digestion problems. You are better having smaller meals that are easy on your stomach. I had to eliminate some things that I used to be able to eat but now can’t. I have some things that are my go to that I keep handy. I always have a container of homemade chicken salad on hand and can eat that on a flourless low carb bread I like. I have some strawberries with it. I keep salads, eggs, nuts on hand. Sometimes even baked chicken with the skin on can upset my stomach, sometimes not. Seafood helps. Find the things you like that work for you and keep them in your fridge.

Thank you Dr. Tyna for this excellent empowering information. I am 65 years old and a type 2 diabetic. I used Metformin for months and ran hourly races to the bathroom at work and nausea. Finally I was put on Ozempic to see if I could take that med. without terrible side effects. I started on .25 mg and started to lose weight after a few weeks. I lost 30 lbs. I did not change my eating habits nor exercise during this time and then I just started to regain the weight, all 30 lbs. plus some. I still didn’t change any of my circumstances. Now my doctor has upped my amount to .5 mg. I have some stomach pain from time to time and diarrhea at times. I stopped taking it last week to give myself a break, but after listening to the data you shared today, I am resolved to start exercising , strength training and being more mindful of what and when I put things in my mouth. Thank you for sharing and educating me and others. I feel like I have hope again without fear. God bless you !

[@davidr1431]

@@BrigitteEvans-r2fYour side effects were real and I’m sorry you had them and this medicine didn’t work for you. Would you want the fear of reacting like you did to put people off even trying it? I think that is what was meant by over dramatising the side effects. Not saying that there are none, but putting the fear of even trying into people who could otherwise be helped. I hope you find what works for you.

I’m 71 years old and I’ve lost 97 lbs over the past year. I’ve been taking compounded Semiglutide beginning the end of July 2023. I’m now trying to wean myself off of it. I’ve been on a low carb diet and do moderate exercise. I’m so happy to hear your video!! It has truly been a miracle drug for me in the fact that I don’t hear the food noise that I’ve had to deal with all of my life. I also have been able to reduce my blood pressure medications too. I was never sick on the medication…a little nauseous to begin with but I began to feel so much better. I’m very worried about coming off of it though. I can tell in reducing my dosage that some of the cravings are returning.

Hi I am 81 years old. I started semaglutide about 10 months ago. I have lost 40 pounds and would like to have it go a little faster but I was one of the people who was prescribed this drug with very little information on what to do. I am still on a low dosage. I have never had any side affects except constipation. The only thing i feel is less hungry. I also try to keep my food intake in an 8 hour window. since I am not very hungry this works great for me. I have done no exercise so I am glad to hear that will boost my weight loss. I keep my protein intake at 90g and eat very little sugar.

Losing inches and pounds. I just started dosage of 1.0 m last Saturday. I will weigh and measure again Saturday. Double chin gone already. 3 inches off my waist. Only side effect, constipation.

[@plasmichoneytrip]

Thank you for mentioning “growing neurons in the brain”. I almost teared up when you mention how it helps a person’s mental state as well. I just have started Ozempic and have heard numerous accounts that even before they lose weight that they have this mind calming effect. I myself am not obsessed with food while on Ozempic although i still have strong hunger signals when my body needs it. I have always been in a constant state of inflammation for decades including due to PCOS, irregular periods, eczema, psoriasis, and now high ALT and beginnings of fatty liver.

[@vonettapa4317]

The high ALT, is this before or after taking ozempic? I took ozempic for two weeks and my ALT shot through the roof . Stop taking it and went back to normal. I just resumed glp tirzepatide two weeks ago and hoping it doesn’t spike my ALT/AST ..

[@tchamp9678]

I just discovered you today and this podcast and it is a breath of fresh air regarding all of the negativity and fear porn surrounding this GLP-1 agonist. I began semiglutide in April 2023 and cycled off of it January 2024 achieving my desired weight. I vowed to myself if I began to see the "scale creep" I would return to taking it which just happened this month. As mentioned I have been hearing lots of the negativity but had such a positive weight loss experience with it that I had no hesitation returning to it. I have also been doing all of the lifestyle suggestions you've mention in this podcast and while those things help I have found that going off of the semiglutide has not worked in terms of keeping the scale at my goal. I also lost muscle and saggy skin remains. I have to also add that I now work out 5 to 6 days a week doing cardio and resistance, including a very low carbohydrate, prioritized protein and fat diet. Hopefully my muscle will return.

I came across Dr Tyna listening to a Diary of a CEO podcast by Steve Bartlet. I'm so happy I found her channel at the very beginning of my Mounjaro journey. I don't want a quick fix, I don't want to have all these nasty side effects, as I'm in for a long term, so already decided I'll be trying to stay on a low dose. After yo-yoing all my adult life, I was just exhausted. I knew I need to make lifestyle changes but the lack of weight loss in the process was so disheartening, and I didn't want to be as radical as WLS, so took a decision to take medication before I'm forced to, and here I am.

I am a Type 1 diabetic for 56 years, and I take Mounjaro to great effect. I have insulin resistance after so many years on insulin injections and my endo approved it for me. I have been able to cut my insulin doses by 2/3 - I'm back where I first started way back in 1968 as far as how much insulin I take. And I have also lost 30 pounds in the process, so I am down to 130 pounds and have so much more energy and feel so much better. I'm glad that Type 1's are now able to use these peptides.

[@hollyzmyname]

so appreciate your point of view and non-judgemental understanding approach towards obesity. I am a very obese person with type 2 diabetes and was on Mounjaro until January when my insurance decided it would not cover the cost. The first thing it helped me with was getting my A1C down and that combined with a very low calorie diet (Nutrisystem) I had lost 30 pounds in a short amount of time. After watching your video I am hoping to see my doctor and at least get on a lower dose from a compounding pharmacy [wish me luck]

Great info! I’ve been on Ozempic since March 2023 and down 64 lbs. it’s been so helpful in helping me make health food choices.

[@davidr1431]

This needs a million views, mostly those uninformed diet zealots who think that obese people should be punished with poor health because they are “weak”.

[@-HookedonYarn-]

Thank you for this teaching and your other ozempic videos. Have watched them all. Told my doctor he agreed. I am about to start week 7. I am 9 pounds down no side effects. Taking to help my autoimmune illness. Not diabetic. My BMI now in overweight zone not obese. Less pain. Micro dose was perfect for me. Bless you for sharing this.

My boyfriend was 350 lbs Lost about 35 lbs on semaglutine Became a different person, a better version of himself Working now on getting him to the gym and better eating habits to loose another at least 30 lbs I’m considering getting it myself a dose to help me loose my 20 lbs that got stuck around my waist after menopause and thyroidectomy

[@tarak1760]

So fascinating. Thanks for the work that you do!

[@livefree395]

Started semaglutide about 3 weeks ago. I used to have bad heart palpations and high blood pressure, but I'm losing weight and have more energy with no palpations.

[@HopeBank]

Amazing. So helpful. I sent this to many people to listen to who really should be on it, but were worried because of the negativity they'd heard.

[@janebreaux3530]

My dream and wish is our entire medical system would sound and function more like this amazing doctor! We need more like her… smart and brave, telling the truth, doing research and managing her patients properly. What an amazing concept!

[@Laineys-Journey]

This is one of the best videos I have seen. So much great information that I haven't heard before. I have been on Ozempic for about a year (with no support), I have only lost 2kg in that time. It has lessened my Hba1c which is brilliant but very annoying to have not lost weight. I know I am insulin resisitant and have been trying to do research on what I can do to help. I actually did allergy/intolerance and sensitive testing and found out I have around 50 food (mostly vegetable) intolerances etc. This has surely caused inflammation. As I get these foods out of my diet, I hope the weight loss will kick in. Thank you for what you do, new subscriber here and I am looking forward to binging on your videos. 👍

[@nathanas64]

I was motivated by my sleep specialist to lose weight because I have obstructive sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. Thanks to tirzepatide I lost 35lb so far with more to go. My OSA has dramatically improved. But what else is amazing is my blood labs came back normal for the first time in my life ! Not only that … my primary care doctor took me off all my bp meds which were at the max dosage. I increased my protein and also started lifting weights so I wouldn’t lose muscle ! Also saw a dietician and improved my diet. These drugs definitely worsen RLS and initially made me very tired. I considered stopping the tirzepatide bc of that but glad i persevered bc that went away eventually

[@djjohnny5166]

Thanks for sharing! I’m dealing with triple severe sleep apnea and my weight fluctuations have been a nightmare.

[@joynelson4628]

Thank you so much for this very informative video! I had been sucked in by all the propaganda out there, as I was so worried about my sister being on Wegovy. Even though she feels fantastic and has not experienced ANY side effects, she has lost 30 lbs in 3 1/2 months. Hearing your testimony now has convinced me that the naysayers are all about the "money", I have subscribed to your channel, and am now wanting to see how I will be able to take Semaglutide ❤

[@zee-zm1io]

Been on it for 6 weeks and now on 0,75mg. Lost 10 cm on waist. Been strength training with a biokineticist. No weight lost yet but I’m hopeful. I have had 6 months on the worst work stress of my life. I think that slowed my progress. New mom still sleep deprived. Ive taken 3 weeks off work to rest. I already feel things changing. Stress is a horrible thing

[@gypsigyrl6327]

Maybe it’s because you’re strength training that you don’t see weight loss on the scale, but you are obviously losing fat if you’ve lost 10 cm around the waist. Muscle is denser than fat, therefore it weighs more than fat at the same size 😊. Also if you are interested in making money whilst at home with your new born, let me know and I can put you in the right direction 😊

[@annarauseo8969]

I started Mounjaro in November 2023 with the starting dose of 2.5 and found it was giving me anxiety. I stopped and restarted after 4 weeks to make sure it was out of my system and started on a .5 and gradually increased without any side effects. I felt my system was very sensitive and gradually introducing into my system was what I intuitively felt was best for me. Unfortunately with the shortages in Australia I couldnt get it so I started on compounded Semaglutide on the lowest dose. I have increased my protien intake and resumed weight training and have now lost 10 kilos and I am happy with the slower weight loss. Due to menopause, bouts of anxiety and giving up smoking I put on 25kgs. Now the Australian goverment is banning compounding from October 2024 and I am unable to be prescribed Ozempic because I am not diabetic so hopefully Mounjaro will be available. I was so glad to find you as you confirmed what I felt.

[@sybillafabrizio616]

Have you had any anxiety issues on the semiglutide? I had horrible anxiety on 2.5 T and I am scared to try a lower dose.

[@adoarch]

Totally agree! That’s Ozempic face loss muscle. I lost -75lbs on Mounjaro. Halfway through I saw muscle loss then I started lifting 5 days week and 1g protein ideal body weight and now building muscle after plateau . Also take diet breaks to keep metabolism high

[@azizanativegirl7073]

2 minutes in and very informative!!!!

[@jeffreyhuston2013]

Thank you Dr. Tyna. This is so informative. I am currently on Wegovy, and suggested to my wife to look into it. I am seeing great differences in my life as a result.

[@maddyruhil8774]

How has your experience been ? I just started on it

[@eldavera3081]

I just started Ozempic a week ago and I feel good about my future.. it suppresses my appetite and I feel that I can do this .. I want to lose 80 lbs. my doctor put me on Ozempic because I have diabetes 2 and my glucose readings were all over the place .. now the readings are good.. the weight loss is a big plus

[@montanacrosses]

I had body pain so intense that I had to go on prendesone to survive. Then I gained 20 pounds and could not get the weight off over a period of 3 months....despite a diet with no sugar and no white flour! NOW after 8 weeks I have lost 9 pounds and the pain is almost gone! It's a miracle for me!

[@annaneufeld8571]

Did it help for arthritis pain?

[@BeautyBelle-zz1ck]

Wow

[@montanacrosses]

I don't know it just helps with pain. The doc says it helps with her arthritic pain. It also really helps with mild depression. I have been amazed. It's like I found something other people were wired with that I didn't have. The alure of food just isn't there. The habit wants to resurface but now I can have space to think think yes..no..or a little. It's a God Send!

[@kidges3132]

I’m so glad you addressed that the medication can help with depression. I was on it for a period of time and I was a different person. I was not bothered by things that (on the daily) were causing me so many issues.

[@sc4112]

I’m a functional medicine provider and am absolutely setting up my practice to offer peptide therapy to my patients. Literally 100% of them could benefit from this treatment AS A PART OF a whole-person approach. I don’t understand why my functional medicine peers are so oppositional unless they’re making a lot of money off their own branded supplements, which is a real problem in the functional health community. I can’t control the price of the peptides but I do my best to keep all treatment plans as affordable as possible (by not marking up or upselling, and by offering a sliding scale) since insurance doesn’t pay me.

My insurance quit covering it. 😒 I was having some weight loss and had just titrated up to the highest dose when the pharmacy was backed up. By the time I got it , it had been almost 6 weeks so I couldn't take it but then could not get even the lower dosage anymore at all. Sofor the past year couldn't get my hands-on it and now the insurance doesn't cover it at all. So horrible when it helps so many.

Hi, I am a fit active 62 male. 5’10 165 lb with type 2 diabetes. I don’t need to lose weight. I tried Rybelsus lowest dose and the nausia was so pronounced I had to take an anti-nausia medication. The stomach cramps were unpleasant and frequent diarrea was hard to live with. Eventually I got used to it, lost 5 lbs then after a few months those symptoms suddenly returned and my endocrinologist took me off it. My A1C shot back up to 8 so today I am starting Mounjaro 2.5. I am hopeful I can tolerate the new gen better!

[@cherylgarrett4455]

I have T2Diabetes. Was on Ozempic for 5 years, off for 15 months, on Mounjaro 2.5 for 3 weeks. I worked extremely hard to get rid of weight when off medication, but did pretty well controlling glucose. I have Medicare with a Part D drug plan. My insurance covers Mounjaro with pre-authorization. Doctor turned it over to Methodist Hospital's Specialty Pharmacy who was able to get the PA. I am now on the med. average glucose is running mid-80s, and have lost 14# in 3 weeks. My diet is very low carb, higher protein, moderate fat.

[@scall0way]

I found you via a FB group I’m on for Ozempic for Diabetics. What a great episode. I’ve been on Ozempic for five months now. Sadly I’m very obese. I did lose nearly 40 pounds in my 2 1/2 months but in the last three months I’ve stopped losing completely despite major dietary changes, maximizing my protein intake, daily exercise including resistance training. My “smart” scale does say that my body fat percentage has dropped by 6 percentage points, and my muscle mass increased by 8 pounds. So all good. But when you weigh 250 pounds you want to see scale numbers too!

[@wannabefarmgirl9595]

This is amazing!! Your health will be soo good, keep going!!

[@celtfire]

@29:00 Dr. Tyna. This is what happened to me. I was Keto lost 70 lbs and then fell off because of stress and life setbacks. gained all the weight back and then some. Tried to dial the nutrition in again and the weight was not budging. I started Wegovy a month ago with the dialed in nutrition and have lost 15 lbs. I plan to start working in a weight training routine this week. Do you have any recommendations for a routine?

[@fivefiveqt214]

I'm surprised I watched the whole hour, but it was such a good and interesting video with amazing information! I agree with your theory about big pharma companies spreading rumors and not wanting people to have these peptides because then they will lose money when "sick" people no longer need all those meds. On the same note, it doesn't make sense that insurance companies are refusing to approve these "drugs" for use when it would ultimately save these companies money. Last thought, these peptides have been around for many years, yet some people are acting like these are new and untested "drugs". None of it makes sense. I say make these peptides available for all, even those that find themselves getting fluffy.

[@donnamedley4712]

I am so anxious to get started on Oz. I am 72, morbidly obese, I take Coreg for blood pressure, Gabitril, Actos, & Lantus for Diabetes, Effexor for Fibro, also have Osteoarthritis. It sounds like it can only help me.

I’m 63 and just started wegovy. Within the first week my legs, ankles and feet swollenness was gone. Also my hands are smaller. I’ve had lymphedema for 20 years. Looking forward to what’s next, but still cautious about side effects.

[@mareenela2405]

I’m just had my first shot of Ozempic @ 0.25 mg. I’m 62 and diabetic for 2 to 3 yrs now. I started with Metformin but it got in the way of my arthritis to the point I couldn’t walk. My doctor switched me to Invokana but I got an incessant itchiness around the genital areas so I stopped taking it. So, thank you for easing my fear on taking Ozempic. Fingers cross, I hope this med is the one to lower my sugar and take off my fats. I did feel some dizziness once in a while maybe because I eat less. But the dizziness doesn’t stay. I function normally. I should take your advice on weightlifting and protein. Thanks again Dr. Tyna! 🙏

I am 50 and thinking of lipedema fat removal surgery due to the fact that it’s a hormonal issue that doesn’t respond to diet & exercise. Do you think semaglutides would help?

[@CottonMitts]

Thank you for giving a clear and different prospective and more concise information on this subject. I’ve been tossing up asking my Dr about trying this as I have many physical restrictions that make it hard to exercise and metabolic problems as well. I’ve improved a lot by going keto and carnivore but I fall off the wagon and gain weight back. Mostly due to being house bound and my family having lots of junk food around that make it hard. I think I’ll finally book an appointment this week. I’ve tried fasting but can’t stick to it.

Wow The switch analogy hit home. I was a skinny person until my husband left me. Within 6 months , I gained 70 lb. My knees gave out and I entered a dark zone. I am on Mounjaro with the support of a Cardiologist. The scale has started to move although slowly. Thank you for these videos.

Thank you for this video. I started ozempic 4 days ago. I have to lose 30lbs before I can have my right hip replaced. I also need both knees replaced and have gained 60lbs over the past 7 yrs due to injury and immobility. I was an athlete when I was younger and never had a weight problem. I had to go on disability from work over a year ago, had so much pain so going to the gym was impossible. Diets didn't work and I tried them all. Then depression came because I had no quality of life. Had to give up hiking, canoeing; back country camping and sports. I was afraid to try ozempic. So thank you for all the information.❤
