****UPDATE***** : i'm down to 309 lbs from 334 lbs, and I now am up to walking 40 mins a day. ( started out with a 15 min walk per day. Thought it was worthless but it got me out and walking so it started the ball rolling) I just listen to a podcast, set a timer for 20 mins and start walking. when the timer goes off I turn around and walk back. 40 mins is like nothing now. But now I walk almost double the distance in 20 mins that when I started it because i'm getting used to it. So my 40 min walk is much farther than the original distance. Jan 1st im bumping it up and extra 5 mins each direction, so setting a timer for 25 mins one way then when I turn around and walk back its a total of 50 mins. Ill bump it up 5 more mins each way in Feb and it will be an hour walk a day! booyah! Keeping my eating habits super under control with the help of the Semaglutide. Drinking about five 25 oz bottles of water a day ( so you don't have constipation because your sucking up all your water because your digestion moves slower and has more time to extract fluids from your guts) and have had only one instance of Diarrhea after I ate a big ole helping of fried food. So now I don't even look at the fried food. HAHA.Not really appealing anymore. The first time I eat is at 10am and last time I eat is about 5:30 pm. I drink black coffee in the morning. Feeling good and continuing the journey, that actually doesn't seem like that much of a journey any more. More like " this is normal now" and I don't think about it as much as I did when I first started. I only weigh myself once a week in the morning and I don't get hung up if I didn't lose a ton of weight each week. Slow and steady is the game yall! Have a Merry Christmas everyone! Oh, Im now on the 1.0 dose once a week and I take it on Monday mornings.

I am down 50 pounds on semiglutide over 200 days. Great info here . Just want to add you need to know your basal metabolic rate and then determine a new daily rate for weight loss. I also journal my foods including drinks everyday. It was an eye opening exercise in where the weight came from and how to not fall into that trap again. I am 20 pounds away from original goal and hope to be there by years end. Dont give up even when struggling with side effects, some are more sensitive than others to dose related issues.

I hit my goal and my 7.5 I use for maintenance is not as effective and the food noise is coming back.

I just hate the food noise and the fear of gaining it back is real!!! I have a whole closet of new clothes! 😮

[@GoodDrG]

You Absolutely do know the answer. The food noise is telling you something. What is it? Only you know. The one thing it you know it is can solve is hunger. Everything else is lies in the form of boredom, depression, sadness, anxiety, fatigue etc...... fix that with the appropriate corrective action. Not with food. Good Luck to you!

I totally agree with the delay stacking. Splitting and q4 days instead of weekly on a lower dose. I always felt it didn't last the last 2 days well and splitting made things so much more consistent

[@GoodDrG]

HEY THERE! I’m using this approach more and more. It’s working very well for us for both sensitive patients and patients who initially start the week feeling the appetite suppression by feel it wears off before 7 days. How did you come to make the decision to start stacking?

[@shelbs200]

​@@GoodDrGI am a nurse myself. I have never had any issues with nausea, but I am taking it for insulin resistance as a symptom of Lipedema. My A1C is great however so I have been tracking my blood glucose sporatically and was noticing the trend of it rising more on the last 3 days especially once we went up to 50mg. We also were worried about the Lipedema fat not allowing even or entire well absorption. I am doing well on 25mg so my doc and I discussed spacing it. Even if my main focus in not nessisary large weightloss as Lipedema fat doesn't seem very responsive, the MASSIVE HELP for generalize and localized inflammation in my tissues has made me a fan for life. I see it being used in small or micro doses for more inflammation diseases like PCOS etc.

While I like reducing the ups and downs concerning the effect mounjaro has during one week, a am a bit afraid that I might get used to a certain dose quicker if I split the Dose into two doeses per week. Do you have any experience with your patients as to whether splitting the dose leads to having to go up with the dosage in a shorter period of time due to lower up and downs? And thank you so much for all the Information you are giving us here- I‘m German and unfortunately it‘s way more difficult to get lots of information from German doctors as you have way more experience.

[@GoodDrG]

Hey! I have only needed to split doses as a last resort when I have patients running into issues with tolerability / side effects and aren’t seeing adequate weight loss/still having food noise. I haven’t seen any issues with leading to having to go up in dose. We use use the smaller doses as a way for the patients body to adjust to the medication and hopefully the issues with tolerability / effects subside over a couple of weeks. The goal is always to get back to weekly full dosing as soon as possible.

When you said hysterectomy, I immediately thought: this woman does not have ideal hormone levels. This can ruin your ability to lose weight. You need to see a hormone specialist and get on bioidentical hormones. I personally take 120mg of thyroid, 60mg progesterone and use a testosterone cream and vit d supplement.

Different strokes for different folks. I have a WICKED CASE of Type 2 Diabetes, and, am on 20 units of Basal insulin (I’ve been able to reduce my dose, gradually, from 26, and now, have successfully eliminated the need for Bolus injections!) My endocrinologist put me on Ozempic to try to mitigate the weight gain (and, difficulty *losing* weight) associated with exogenous insulin injections. My condition is so extreme, even the lactose in 1/2 cup of 2% milk makes me spike, so, eating the fruits you mentioned would send my blood sugar sky high. I follow Dr.Jason Fung (a nephrologist from Toronto), and, Dr.Richard K Bernstein. I find intermittent fasting, and, selecting extremely low carb vegetables, -some of which, you have listed, along with moderate protein, and, fats, are helping me (in conjunction with the Ozempic). I have about 35 lbs to lose…which will likely fall off gradually, as I attempt to wean off insulin. Thank you so much for your videos. Although my case and requirements may be a bit out of the norm, I am finding a lot of helpful information in your content.

@Florida Concierge Medicine and Wellness. I'm thankful I live in the Northeast. We have a place in South Florida, but it seems like alot of doctors are refusing insurance for legimate reasons and I get it. But I have wonderful insurance and I'm thankful to God and my medical provider that I receive my Mounjaro and visit almost fully paid for by my insurance. What's with Florida? Why so many concierge services? As an RN this is one of the main reasons why we hesitate to relocate there permanently. It reminds me of the haves and have nots. So many cannot pay out of pocket. Anyway thanks for the content.

[@GoodDrG]

Hey there! Wow! What a great comment with so much to unpack! In 2021 I opened Florida Concierge Medicine & Wellness as a direct primary care practice. I put “concierge” in the name because we truly try to make every patient feel like VIP. Direct primary care is membership based care. Basically all your primary services are paid for through the premium paid directly to the doctor/office. You get timely visits, comprehensive visits, calls, televisits, urgent care, after hours care, etc. no insurance is billed to our DPC patients. If you look at it it’s actually more affordable in many cases than the insurance based care with a lot less hoops. Insurance based visits have to have element completed in order to meet metrics that frankly may not align with the desires of you and your doctor. It’s like have a third wheel in a marriage who is never there but has the last word every time! Anyway we now are hybrid meaning we also take major insurances in my office with a small cohort of DPC patients. Why? Because teaching the population about DPC is not easy. Most experts agree it started in the northwest around 1977 and then eventually became extremely popular in your neck of the woods before the rest of the country caught on. I invite you to read more about it. My practice now does accept insurance and “concierge” doctors are the exception in Florida. You may have a home here where the folks have a high net worth and feel there are more concierge doctors here than insurance based but that is definitely not the case. The real question we should be asking is, “Is DPC/Concierge medicine the problem or is the issue our cumbersome insurance based model of healthcare?” I’m happy you happen to have great insurance but what about all the folks who are uninsured or have terrible insurance that lives to deny services? They pay premiums every month for poor access or not at all. I am confident DPC/Concierge medicine is not why folks across the country are not getting GLP1 agonist meds or any other medication for that matter. It’s the insurance companies that hold the keys to the medicine cabinet. They are the ones who make your formulary and decide what is “covered” and for what reasons even though you pay your premiums to them every single month. This is a discussion we need to have more often because so many of us do not truly understand the American healthcare system as it exists today and we simply accept it as the ONLY way. Thank you so much for this comment and welcome to the channel!

​​@@GoodDrG My husband worked with the criminally insane which was an EXTREMELY dangerous job for the state of CT for over 40 years, yes he more than anyone is deserving of great insurance. You are correct it's not concierge service that's causing the shortage of people's access to GLP medicines. I have no problem with access to my physicians here in CT so I'm thankful I don't need concierge service. We certainly don't have a high net worth, nor do we wish to pretend to be around that.

@@GoodDrG Everyone deserves good healthcare absolutely however is that realistic or idealistic? Ask yourself. I'm not for socialized medicine, which seems to me what you're alluding to.

Thank you and God bless.

[@jessiesheldon-huffey1824]

I appreciate this discussion because although I don't agree with socialized Healthcare, the insurance industry and pharmaceutical industries have an unholy pact to increase net profit at any cost. This means keeping people sick. The DPC model is great because it is not subject to this corrupt influence. Unfortunately, I fired my DPC doctor a couple of years ago when she started pushing the covid Vax despite the literature I sent her on dangerous side effects, etc. I now have insurance through work but see a hormone specialist for most things because my regular doctor doesn't prescribe buoidentical hormones and insurance won't cover it as it actually deals with root causes and fixes the root problem. Anyway, I think the current insurance model should be eliminated and replaced with DPC. Not sure how to fix all the problems cause by the pharmaceutical companies though, I guess just rarely use anything they produce. Glp 1s seem to be promising though....

I just started ozempic 0.25mg a day ago and I already have nausea, headache, dizziness and constipation. And I don’t really see the no food noise effect my appetite is still the same, should I increase my dose or wait it out… Thank you for the video doc

[@jessiesheldon-huffey1824]

Side effects are super common during the first week but usually subside by week 2. Just give your body a bit of time to adjust. I would not increase dose now, especially if you are having side effects.

[@samanthasamantha1830]

Hello Doctor! Thank you for another great video! I was wondering if you would mind sharing your thoughts on one taking tirzepatide combined with B12 as a weekly injection? Thank you in advance for your time!

[@GoodDrG]

Hey There! B12 shots help some patients manage the nausea when initially starting the meds. Definitely not something you have to have especially if you don’t over eat or experience significant nausea. It’s doesn’t help increase weight loss or decrease appetite.

[@samanthasamantha1830]

Not trying to be a cynic, but how can a medication whose primary function is appetite suppression and induced bulimia have sustainable weight loss results? It's been mentioned GLP1's + lifestyle changes = weight loss.. But these medications have irreversible side effects so why the risks? Would like some clarity, please.😮

[@GoodDrG]

@glenbutler9611 You don’t sound cynical at all!! 😁 1. GLP1-agonists primary function is to enhance and mimic the function of GLP1 at the receptor. So whatever GLP1 does GLP1 agonists do but apparently with a stronger longer lasting effect. 2. I have seen ZERO connection with these medications and bulimia. Please share where you got this from. 3. Typically serious lifestyle changes alone = weight loss. Adding GLP1-agonists are a viable option for those who have tried lifestyle changes alone and failed. 4. The severe side effects from GLP1s are no more than most any other FDA approved medication. I hope this provided the clarity you are looking for.

I’m super nervous to start my GLP1 and be unsuccessful. So many of the foods that are good for us, I can’t have because of my GERD. I also have insomnia so getting enough sleep is going to be so hard.

I’m about a week away from starting semaglutide with Lipo-mino shots. I’m worried the lip-mino shots are a waste of money do you think they help?

[@GoodDrG]

Hey there! Welcome to the channel! I don’t see the benefit and I have no evidence the combination will help outside of the potential for the B-complex in the shots helping with potential nausea. GOOD LUCK!

@@GoodDrG thank you so much for answering! I will keep that in mind when I place my refill next month!

[@Poison21Ivory]

Besides changing diets, does this medication alter anything in the body? I had twins almost 5 years ago and had a small blood clot on my lungs due to pregnancy. My question is, if I were to start this medication, would blood clots come back? That's the reality I'm dealing with. The only medication I'm on is prenatal just to keep some type of vitamins in me.

[@GoodDrG]

Hey There! Blood Clots aren’t listed as a side effects of GLP1s in any significant amount still no one will be able to say with 100% certainty you won’t have another blood clot. GLP1s don’t appear to affect the clotting/bleeding processes of the body. What can be said is there is a very low likelihood of clot formation due to the meds. I hope that helps!

Hi! This was helpful. Im on 1mg semiglutide atm. And im losing around 100-200grams a week. When should i start stacking my dosages? Would appreciate a response.

[@GoodDrG]

Hey there! I only go to “Stacking” doses when I come across a patient who has issues with tolerability of a full weekly dose. Like nausea at the beginning of the week that makes it really hard to tolerate food at all or fatigue or constipation that doesn’t improve much after trying all the other things I’ve talked about in my videos etc… sounds like you can go to 1.25-1.5mg with no problems. All depends on your personal preference on how many grams you want to lose a week. 100-200 g /week is well below the “safe zone”.
