Agree, you can be good at some things and bad at others. Example organized (maybe ocd) or not, and other great things but just because you have an addiction to something food, pills, sex, etc doesn't mean the other things can be also true. Your statement is all or nothing thinking. And humans are never all perfect or not and some traits are subjective. But perhaps the best marker of judgement would be God's idea of what we ought to value.

I personally know two people who were on a GLP-1 and lost over 30% of their body weight. It's been over a year since they both reached their goal and are off it. They didn't gain the weight back and they're much healthier. They can move better, they're in less pain, better labs, better blood sugar level, and blood pressure. You have to change your lifestyle for it to work and last. You can't keep doing the same thing and expect a drug to do all the work.

I viewed this video because I was shocked by your change of mind. I figured that was a good time to stop and listen to you. You gave some solidly good reasons for your change of mind, you talked about the benefits, and you also talked about your concerns for possible drug side effects. You also helped me recognize and be thankful for the people who helped me develop dopamine channels outside of food. Choir, band, sports, scouting. It even made me thankful for the numerous times when, as an adult, I could only afford one meal a day and I learned to prioritize protein and green veg. Most of all, I appreciate your reminder that science involves changing your mind. A friend once told me "Never trust anyone who says they believe in science but then shuts down questioning science with the phrase, "It's settled science." There is no such thing as settled science."

I am a Personal Trainer and I've changed people's lives by getting clients off Insulin, Metformin etc., with proper diet and exercise. Now, new clients are signing up on Ozempic and Mounjaro.

"I'm nauseous", "I keep vomiting", "I feel like Sh*t", "It's not working and I still feel like sh*t), enemas, constipation/gut mobility issues, the inability to exercise, because of feeling ill, which means they are losing Fat AND Muscle (this does not make you healthier) etc. et etc. I hate what this drug is doing to people physically and the mental distress/depression that happens when they experience how fast the weight comes back on after stopping it, that's if they are lucky and their gut motility returns to normal (most of the time it does). If not, then you have bigger problems.

[@marnieschallert1220]

Great video - I learned so much ! 🥰 I am keto, been at my ideal weight for three years, and feel better than ever, so personally would not consider Ozempic. My husband was put on Ozempic for type two diabetes a year and a half ago and he’s lost 60 pounds, no longer diabetic , feels great, much more physically active and wants to stay on the Ozempic. It has taught him portion control and helped him incorporate some fasting. He certainly eats better than he used to, though still carbs and processed food. I worry about the side effect muscle loss and also question if he can ever get off it w/out gaining the weight. That said, when I look at the risk versus benefit compared to where his health was a year and a half ago, it’s much better. I certainly see the downsides and the overuse of Ozempic, and how it keeps people from taking responsibility for their habits and getting real healing on the levels needed. Yet healing is a life long journey, and if this helps someone get even one step forward from where they were before, maybe it could be useful in certain circumstances? There is still so much we don’t know about this drug and the people taking it now are the guinea pigs. This should at least be disclosed when it’s being prescribed.

Hi Dr. Boz, I am a nurse. My bariatric nutrition physician began giving out education sheets on compound semaglutide and tirzapitide. I have been keto for over 4 years now. I am using the micro dose of 0.24 mg for insulin resistance with essentially no side effects. In many of the support groups, the dosages folk talk about are scary. If you compare the symptoms of the high dose semaglutide and tirzapitide users with chemo treated patients the symptoms sound familiar: severe nausea, anorexia, poor fluid intake, severe constipation, bowel obstructions, hair loss and emmaciated appearances. I do not care for any increased dosage. The appetite suppression is good. I am still keto, OMAD and eat 1500-2000 calories/day. I have been losing about 1 pounds per week. I am nearing my 5th week and I am finally within 7 pounds of my goal weight. I am glad I tried it. I would rather see my physician often for injection of this drug to keep tract of accountability of my physician to patient relationship.

My point in telling you all this, is I understand your pain and grief. It puts a horrific level of stress on us (as you know)…. I had just had my 4th son when the house fire happened… I ate healthy while nursing my baby… but after he weaned himself, I stopped my healthy diet… I sank into a severe depression and ate my sadness away… I gained 60lbs and had a really hard time losing it…. It took me over 20 years in fact…. My mother is 86 and she’s on these horrible diabetes meds…they affect her very negatively….but my mother is and always has been VERY addicted to sugary carbs…. She literally is just like an addict, even at 86…. What people do not realize is there literally is no going off these meds, once you’re on them… and if you should happen to go off, your diabetes will come back and you will gain the weight back… I’ve heard multiple dr’s say this. When used for weight loss, once you go off of these meds, the weight will come back. A pill or shot is not the answer… it’s calorie density… it’s losing weight, getting out and moving our bodies more… getting support helps… either on the internet or at a gym for example…. I hope you’re doing much better now. I’d give you a hug and make you a lovely meal if I were able to ❤️💕🙏🏼 (cooking is my love language) sending Love from Oregon ~Trina~

I agree, there has to be a healthier and safer way to get dopamine.

It's interesting that Ozempic people are getting happy about the drug, although it can be bad for their digestion. Definitely worth noting it. But I'm glad I chose keto 6 years ago. I wouldn't be so patient with this drug.

But you have no idea how fl frustrating it is when you maintain a disciplined diet and lifestyle and yet you can’t shake the weight! It is deeply discouraging and frustrating.

I started Semiglutide while on keto. I felt terrible and lost 16 lbs in 3 weeks. When I quit keto I felt better and my weight loss went to about a pound a week.

This is becoming a drug of the rich and famous This cannot help the vast majority of Americans with obesity and I shudder to think what happens to people who need it but cannot afford to have reliable ongoing access to these medications. I lean towards endogenous natural routes that are under our control, combined with a support system.

Looks like you finally sold out. Sounds like someone got their license threatened I guess its all over folks. I mean once you give someone the answers what more is there to talk about ? That is why you have been making all these click bait videos which have now turned back the other direction. That is how these pharma companies made money to begin with. people we have a sellout unsubscribed and ashamed. Humanity will never learn.

So big pharma is 100% evil and corrupt? What small town and backyard garage pharmacy are you using to get any treatments that involve drugs or anesthesia or something we can’t get from a plant ?

[@donnaelizabeth8674]

Ozempic made me so sick, caused bleeding under the skin like a blood thinner would do, blood in my stools and hemorrhoids, blood vessels in my eye broke and was so nauseated it took over 5 weeks after stopping its use for symptoms to stop. No thank you

[@francostacy7675]

How are you sure what caused all those issues since it didn’t stop immediately after quitting and I’m guessing it didn’t start immediately after starting

[@donnaelizabeth8674]

Never happened before starting it, and the side effects are listed on the website for the drug.

I love the science AND addiction is a biopsychosocial disorder. Vivitrol without psychosocial interventions are very rarely successful 38:47 38:52 38:53

[@Sandra9135]

I still don’t understand why Ozempic would be “not safe”. I believe it can help some very obese people. Except I would think once weaned off, the difficult part would be to understand and deal with the psychological as well as the chemical aspects that lead to the obesity in the first place. Which is what you have said in this video post. Thank you for your insightful opinion. Good examples too.😊

[@ValerieGriner]

I worry about my sister who continues to take Mounjaro and go higher on the dosage. She hasn't changed her high carb way of eating, so I'm sure the weight will come back. You HAVE to eat a low carb/high fat/moderate protein diet and get some exercise in order to benefit. My family just makes fun of my carnivore/ketovore eating habits, but I don't care.

[@Hehasmadeglad1975]

​@@ValerieGriner krep going. Your sister will have to get to the point you are. Mental stress, thyroid, carn resistant cpuld be working against your sister. Get labs often. T2D is hard to deal with. I have it, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, all issues with those diagnoses causing fat pain. It's hard to deal with daily while going on Keto or low carb.

[@leeboriack8054]

A balanced healthy lifestyle rarely has negative side affects.

[@TwiggyKeely]

I relapsed into severe anorexia after 11 years in recovery when I started on ozempic. I am in a tailspin. This is really bad for people with restrictive eating disorders, it was so easy to get ahold of, I've lost almost 40 lbs, and i don't plan on stopping. I want to get down to 100 lb(I'm 5'10, I've gotten there before unfortunately, the ED voice is so strong and all of the cssual attitudes towards this medication and the ED- type behaviors I've seen people use while on it, especially on social media, it was just too much for me to stay in recovery..) and now I have a tool to get there. I'm on dialysis for kidney failure and have gastroparesis and I don't care what it's doing to me because it cuts my appetite and it's amazing for restricting and getting rid of my hunger cues completely. I wish I was a disciplines enough anorexic to do it without meds but I'm not so I'm going to use this medication until I'm so skinny they'll have to put me in the ground and pry this ozempic or my cold dead hands 😂✌️

[@Christinalovescats1958]

What about the "ozempic face"?

[@DoctorBoz]

It still happens. That's a price they pay for pushing the GLP-1 levels so high. This causes a severe reduction in calories... Yet their insulin does not slide down as it should. The loss of muscle mass still happens-- but other things get better (weight loss, reduced cravings for other dopamine bursts.)

[@scrimshawrose3236]

I was on muonjaro, I complained to my doctor that it was making me sick, if I ate, I couldn't move my bowls, finally I couldn't eat at all for the 1st 2 days after taking it and I couldn't drink anything at all. I ended up in icu with severe dehydration. I had so many bags of fluid I lost count. I was asked by the er doctor if I was on dialysis. they let me go home when my kidney function returned. I told my endocrine dr I was not going to ever take that again; she seemed not to listen to me. But if she insists at my next appointment, I will find a different doctor. This was the worst absolutely worst side effects I have ever had on a medication. I don't think anyone should be on it. it's dangerous. People shouldn't take this, for the first 2 days I would be so nauseous I couldn't get out of bed. I couldn't function to do daily things.

[@vikkster5723]

About changing mind Every body is different and will require different tools for health and weight loss so the more tools we have the better ie ketto,glp1,exercise,gastric surgery, Your friend likes exercise more now because she is lighter and it's easier not working out with that extra weight, movement is easier. I've lost 98 lbs and I pick up 40lb bags of dog food and think how heavy it is. Then I load one on each shoulder and can hardly walk. That's just 80lbs. I carried that for a long time. It's painful and exhausting.

[@hikikomori69]

Jeez, some of these comments…. I understand that Keto culture can get a little “culty,”but if you find yourself speaking in absolutes about anything, especially things you probably aren’t fully grasping, you’re most likely on the wrong side of the argument. Would I use Ozempic? Maybe not. Should others? Maybe. And yeah, science requires a person to constantly ask questions, if you aren’t, you aren’t practicing science. The inevitable result of asking these questions is the changing of ideas and conclusions. The amount of adults who don’t understand this is really troubling.

[@DoctorBoz]

Thanks for this comment…. I have found my most valuable mentors all kept questioning... That’s where their wisdom came from IMO.

[@ericaulbach]

Been going through the comments and see very few negatives actually. Some healthy skepticism maybe to many of us trusting big pharma is culty. The food pyramid is culty. Big food is culty. Keto and carnivore makes sense in a world where we’ve been lied to for so long. To question the legitimacy of drug intervention after what went on the last 3 years only makes total sense. Putting that stuff in your body is playing Russian roulette with unpredictable side effects.

I ordered the CGM through you but when I picked up the prescription at the pharmacy they said my charge is $500. Unfortunately, it is unaffordable for me.

When you finally received your prescription a coupon should have been sent to you that greatly reduced the price. My pharmacist put me on GoodRX before I could find the digital coupon and it ended up being only $188.

Hi I'm a nebbie from Nevada and I have a question. I am 74 years old and for most of my adult life I have only eaten 1 meal a day and I am wondering how this will affect my success with this lifestyle? I find it very hard to eat more than once a day. Will I still be able to loose wait. I have a keto-mojo and my glucose fasting is 127 and my ketos is .3. I have swollen legs and feet and my back is so bad I can hardly walk one block.

Try riding a stationary bike at home daily A multi vitamin is really important to take no Iron! You will have more energy and it helps prevent disease,! It bridges gap of severe deficiencies! Vit D3 as well! Softgel only 25,000 4 days a week along e vit K to also avoid disease. Eat more protein to build muscle! Your fasting glucose shouldn't be higher than 85!!

Br Boz I went OMAD carnivore January 1st after being OMAD KETO for the last 6 years plus fasting, my wife and I were doing 48’s, 72’s and a 5 day every year for metabolic health and to be honest I did not have great energy during those fasts. If I exercised I got really hungry in fact hangry and I worked really hard to keep muscle mass. Now I eat OMAD carnivore and I got crazy energy and yup like you said my fasting glucose is creeping up but I’m lean and V’ing out. Did a DEXA scan in Feb and will do one in august. My question is at 58 years young ALL my labs are great except LDL 255 HDL 80, and tri 81 and 2 consecutive 0 CAC scores, do I NEED to be in ketosis on carnivore?

[@DoctorBoz]

I would make sure ketones surge weekly on carnivore - personally i like 3-4 of my 7 days in the week to have robust ketones. Usually i can find a way to do that

[@Barbara-jc9ot]

I too am disappointed with your take on another powerful drug. I do understand there are people who MAY need chemical intervention but a drug that makes people stop overeating or eating sugars? No. Doctor, we are all agents in our own lives. When I hear an overweight friend who has had hips replaced, a knee replaced, who is inflamed, depressed, anxious, and living a sad life tell me she “can’t give up X” I realize she needs to be taught, and led, to health by her own hand. But she is a firm believer in what her doctors tell her. How can this be when she can see with her own eyes, and feel in her own body that there is something terribly wrong. Drugs may become her “agent” but at the coat of her humanity. I’m sorry to see you so soft on this Ozempic issue.

[@Shakashack2022]

Hi Dr Boz. To you or viewers, what is a solution for reducing or eliminating keto bad breath? I understand it’s NOT a symptom of bad oral hygiene but rather from our improved diet. Hydrating yes. Anything else, an ingredient supplement?

[@CarnivoreStork]

You might want to google: Ozempic Lawsuits

[@Maevelikeschampagne]

this may help you tremendously with KETO. it has done so for me. Fasting is easier, maintaining ketosis is easier and I have also started seeing result in lower insulin resistence. get a ketone meter, a glucose meter, and work on your fasting. Depending on your dose and the fact that you should gradually increase the dose over time to avoid some of the side effects like nausea, you just havent reached the effective dose yet. you'll notice when you have. so far ive lost 24lbs and my weightloss had plateaued with keto and IF

[@ilogickindess2012]

I have done keto before. I lost 60 in 5 months. I try to start then I fall off. I have allergies to most food and on keto I don't suffer from these allergies. I will start fasting tomorrow in the hopes that this will help me control cravings. You are absolutely right! Keto and carnivore are the perfect diets

[@kimbermountains7464]

On Ozempic and can't follow a diet? I'd say your Ozempic isn't effective.

[@SydneySewerat]

Try intermittent fasting and low to low-ish carb . Get most of the Keto benefits and you get some autophagy as well. All my health problems went away. I don't do breakfast but research suggest going without dinner is better, but probably harder and more anti-social.

For me if i keep busy and make a good meal and have it to look forward to, i do better. I seemed to do worse with holidays and when i see family. And finding good recipes and cheating one in a while are good but holidays and restaurants not due to the limitations of choice and i cant enjoy the food when rude people in family start clearing plates while im eating. It all messes with me psychologically. The narcissist

[@janicemedlin8851]

Glad to see that you have changed your mind for this weight loss method. I have researched it to the nth degree and have finally decided to go on a semaglutide. Have been chunky all my life and lost weight on keto but I need to quiet the food noise that comes at me at night and I cannot conquer it. Hoping to get on track with the drug and get set in a habit of not snacking and not eating at night. Thank you for all that you do. Have followed you for years. Have had blood tests to determine that I do not have any factors that might lead to any complications. And if I have any serious side effects will be aware enough to quit taking the drug.

I have a severely obese friend who went on Ozempic as a last resort and she was sick as a dog on it. But by the same token she does not exercise, eats badly, will not move and generally uses every excuse in the book not take care of herself. She is always sick with sinus infections, flus, colds, back aches, stomach aches….. but she does drink. I think she is just stuck in a mind set that she really does not believe that she can be healthier. She makes no effort to change her life style. Covid made it worse as she will not even go to Walmart to get her groceries but has everything delivered
