How GLP-1 Drugs Work: Ben Bikman Breaks Down Ozempic and Wegovy

[@monroy400]

Low carb.. The only thing that works for me controlling my hunger, . and eliminates anxiety for sweets.

[@tammyicious]

@@monroy400 , same here.

[@dianecasady816]

Same with me

[@pelqel9893]

Yes. Same. And it's not a difficult diet to live with either.

[@tammyicious]

@@pelqel9893 , true, but I am starting to stay away from cured meats though. How about you?

[@pelqel9893]

@@tammyicious No, not at all. I eat them occasionally, but mostly eat fresh beef and pork.

[@ibcnutoo]

Food noise is not quieted because you feel sick. You don’t understand food noise.

[@AstarteVX]

Facts. I feel like this dude is trying to use scare tactics. Food noise is gone, and suddenly you’re not seeking food, especially when you’re not actually hungry.

[@KitchenFairy61]

I've been taking Trulicity for several years and in the last 6 weeks I've felt like my last meal is always in my throat. I've lost 55 pounds. Lately I can't get motivated to do anything. Thanks for this information. I guess I need to talk with my endocrinologist about other options.

[@momtolittlebaby]

You also need a throat scan.

[@rutcut2822]

Or talk to youtube about a Keto diet?? 😅

[@rutcut2822]

But you'll find Carnivore easier to stick to, as no carbs to stay addicted to, if you struggle with moderation!

[@Momtocam1997]

When you’re manipulating the bodies natural rhythm, the pied piper will retaliate in due time.

[@mouse6210]

Yeah but isn't eating Doritos in essence "manipulating" ?

[@tracyking93]

This is completely wrong. Fear mongering much??? You are doing a disservice to those that can benefit greatly from these new drugs. Poor.

[@patricebrown6051]

BEST information Ever. Thank you.

[@tammyicious]

Digest that (no pun intended) ... at 3:23 ... "food stays in your stomach for 24 hours". I'm sorry that can't be good. 🤔

[@bmwlane8834]

That surprised me as well.

[@1timbarrett]

“Dead” intestines, necessitating a colostomy bag, was the red flag for me. 🚩 😢 😤

[@tammyicious]

@@1timbarrett , wait until all the commercials start from law firms.

[@momtolittlebaby]

@@tammyicious it always does, doesn't it

[@kristywilde2567]

Every time they think they have the miracle pill , it comes back with side effects eventually, no one tests it for years and years to see what eventually happens to the body and how it will affect mind, body, n soul 😮

[@dianes.1909]

It works.

[@stephenn3727]

I love Dr Bikman!

[@1timbarrett]

Thanks, Professor Bikman; you are my most trusted metabolic researcher. 😘 🙏 👍

[@robinham2796]

Actually have A Prescription waiting for me To fill for the 2nd generation glp1 but after this, I just decided no…..I have about 15 pounds to knock off. Cold plunging helped me Last Year, going to get at it again…

[@bmwlane8834]

I really enjoyed this show!

[@cherrypieforbreakfast1499]

This is a short cut from a longer interview. The whole thing is excellent

[@jackdeckerd]

Hello Dr. Bikman. I believe semaglutides stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin. I was wondering how people lose fat if insulin is elevated by these compounds. Is there a workaround that the body uses? Thanks for your work. Have a good one.

[@Cottonsie]

he is so wrong what a flake

[@cherrypieforbreakfast1499]

How is he wrong?

[@AstarteVX]

@@cherrypieforbreakfast1499he’s making general assumptions of what it’s like to be on a GLP-1. He has no idea what food noise actually is. Granted, anyone on a GLP med should adapt some lifestyle changes, but he’s not really looking at any real data.

[@AstarteVX]

This whole video seems a little bit like fear mongering.

[@wannabefarmgirl9595]

I very much admire Dr. Bikman. Also, I’ve been on a GLP-1 for 6 months and I can’t say how grateful I am for this option! Due to health issues, my weight ballooned up this last year to over 50lbs extra. I am pre-diabetic and was dangerously close to becoming full fledged diabetic, had a fatty liver and my autoimmunes out of control, I just felt like garbage. If I’m honest, I mostly also still feel like garbage on the GLP-1 but not as bad 😂 The fatigue for me has been overwhelming. I make sure my sleep is good, drink plenty of water and electrolytes, and try to eat more fiber rich and nutrient dense foods during this time especially. I’ll begin weight resistance and other exercise as I wean back down in dosage. I do want to be off of it, and insurance only covered 6 months of it. I did do compounds initially but they might be going away soon. I have about 10 more pounds to go to my goal weight, which will be higher as I build muscle. It has helped reverse the effects of the metabolic syndrome and lifted me out a hopelessness, feeling that no matter how much exercise or how clean my diet was, my weight just compounded on and on. Only 1% of those on GLP-1 have serious side effects and much can be done to mitigate the risks by certain habits. Best thing I ever did for myself.

[@frankcastle1934]

Maybe if you start at the highest dose you feel those side effects he is talking about. Staying at a low dose and having lifestyle changes seem to work just fine for many.

Wow, fascinating and disturbing all at the same time. Thank you both!
