I don't know the accuracy of a Dexascan, but I took one before and after using Semaglutide for about 3 months. I lost 25 pounds, but according to the Dexascan, about 60% of my weight loss was lean tissue. Not eating, not exercising, and not consuming protein isn't exactly a good thing. I later have found using a very low dose to where I feel like eating 2 small meals a day was better and has less side effects. You can lower your dose until you feel like eating a little bit, or your hunger is suppressed a little. During my first try I didn't feel like eating anything at all. I'd eventually get dizzy from not eating at the end of the day. So I'd eat a little bit, but felt like I was eating when I was already too full.

[@Josh.Mangelson]

Interesting. Semaglutide did nothing for me with weight loss. I made sure to get enough lean protein. It slowed gastric emptying, but it did nothing in regards to lowering my overall caloric appetite.

[@janemarx1321]

How did the Dexascan reveal the lean body mass loss. Not on my Dexascan.

[@MichaelMerritt]

Tirzepatide is supposed to be a bit more gentle on lean muscle mass loss, but yes high protein intake and resistance training should be mandatory on these meds.

[@everything_doc]

You need to take a multivitamin, up your protein intake with lean chicken, fish such as salmon, and exercise at least 3x a week. Also, drinking about a gallon of water per day. That alone will reduce GI side effects. Take a magnesium suppliment before bedtime as well.

My actual goal... My kidneys are about 55%. I keep being told that the best thing I can do to help them is lose weight. I was just over 300lbs last April, started Wegovy in August at about 280, and I'm currently at about 245. I was on dialysis for a couple of months in the hospital, but got off that just before I got out. I'm about 50, and assume as I get older and my kidneys naturally decline I'm eventually going to end up on dialysis again. I want to postpone that as long as possible. Fitting in the world better is a massive bonus, but the real goal is kidney health.

[@cloakster]

I think that’s really smart. Delay or obviate the need for dialysis at all costs. Ppl on dialysis tend not to live for tremendously long periods of time once that stage is reached (maybe long if they’re young to start with)… not to put too fine a point on it. 😕 Wish you much luck and strength in your journey towards health. 🙏

[@janemarx1321]

Follow the kidney diet not high protein keto etc.

[@pippy2157]

Kidneys need minerals to be healthy. The arteries to the kidneys get clogged. Serrapeptase and/or Nattokinase may help this but are blood thinners so be cautious.

Hey Dr Dan, nice basic overview of Reta. 👌 Especially liked when you went into a bit of detail about the possible high-dose arrhythmia issue, and how ‘too much’ weight loss can actually be a bad side effect. 🤔 Just a heads-up: You can probably hit us a little bit harder on the science and the deets without losing us. One of the things that really differentiates your content is that you are super-knowledgeable and can talk about things in a slightly deeper way. 👍 Look forward to more vids on the ‘star’ next-gen drugs, like CagriSema, Maritide, VK2735/‘Vikingtide’, Orforglipron, Mazdutide, etc. Vikingtide in fact just dropped Phase 2 results today, and they were pretty stellar. ✨

[@theofficialdrdan]

I agree. I just like to keep my vids under 15 mins and not provide an entire lecture if possible haha. So I will be going over more details at a later point but that is a separate video all on its own!

[@cloakster]

Look forward to it, Dan. 👍 Oh and btw, in the Members Live, the common (at higher doses) Retatrutide side effect reported in the trials I was referring to was Cutaneous hyperesthesia, or hypersensitive skin. It was hard at first to get what the gent asking the question was referring to, but seems like he was talking about either that, a response to injection (strong pain for about a minute), or both. Hard to say for certain without more details. 🤷‍♂️

Good information ℹ️ thanks. Retatrutide is available now. December 2024. Mine was just delivered. I went to my local compounding pharmacy for a reconstituted solution to mix with it. They told me about another reputable vender that’ sells it also with all the analysis of purity with it and it’s a little less expensive so I will use them next time. I won’t mention any brands or sites here bc that’s not why I’m here. I Just want to inform. My starting weight is 433lbs as of this month, and yes, I workout 🏋️‍♀️ with weights also so I’m stoked at seeing how this affects my mental about eating (not overeating). Thanks.

[@theofficialdrdan]

I wouldn't touch that reconstituted product with a 10-foot pole. If they 'have it' it is research grade at best not pharmaceutical grade. And the studies with Retatrutide hasn't been completed so we don't know the full safety, dosing, and monitoring of the drug yet. I would talk with your doctor about getting one of the approved and fully studied medications before using experimental products.

[@Salih.EduBlock]

@@martydavis7422 To give context, I am 49, 6’1 , 429lbs, BP 122/78 and consistently see two different physicians. I workout 🏋️‍♀️ inconsistently but I do workout. Just had my 2 year DOT medical card updated on my commercial drivers license. 🪪 One doc was administering a terzepitide cocktail with B vitamins weekly to me but I only went 3 weeks bc it wasn’t as potent as the terzepitide by itself (I was taking pure terzepitide two years ago that was expensive but super effective) and they only administer it in the mixed formula. That’s when I found the Retatrutide. I use a small amount, 3ml then 5 days later another 3ml. I’m going to 1.5ml next time bc it’s very potent. A small amount goes a long way. I feel amazing. It’s like I’m fasting all the time on this stuff. Even after a meal I feel like I’m still in a fasted state. This is what I felt like after a meal at age 25. lol. I urinate a lot less throughout the day also. Blood sugar is always stable. No big fluctuations. (I have no previous BS issues other than loving big carb meals lol). The first day/night I do notice I don’t sleep as deeply. My pulse rate is slightly elevated the first day/night. I’ve used an Oura Ring to monitor my vitals for the past 4 years so I can see my pulse rate a few beats faster the first day. After that not so much. Normal. The lower dose to 1.5 may eliminate that all together. My goal is to use this sparingly to get me into the habit of eating cleaner and feeling better. No more than 8 weeks and I will be back on a path of more self discipline and doing it myself without any injections. Well I hope this helps your decision.

Hello, Dr. Dan! I wonder if you'd be willing to do a video on foods that increase GLP-1 secretions. I was reading a study (via NIH site) regarding protein with a milk-mineral rich supplement as being optimal. I had VSG in 2014 and the docs wanted us to drink protein shakes. i understand better why. With MJ doing less appetite suppression, I'd like some tools for increasing GLP-1 secretions. The food noise isn't really there on 10mg, but the weight loss has been stalled for months or else excruciatingly low. losing the food noise is a bigger deal for me, I think, but I still have a long way to go and I worry about hitting the MJ max and having nowhere to go. Love your channel. Thank you.

Hey Dr Dan, another Reta Q: Glucagon, a Reta component, apparently has some catabolic effects. Anything to worry about, in terms of retaining muscle mass while on Reta? And if so, to what extent? 🤔

[@theofficialdrdan]

This is going to be something we will need to tease out in the phase 3 trials. Sarcopenia is a very real possibility especially since individuals in this phase 2 trial lost 'too much weight'. There is some interesting rodent studies that show with glucagon alone there is significant weight-loss including substantial muscle loss, however, when the mice are given amino acids to counter losses the weightloss benefit goes away. So I feel it will be something we need to take into consideration and have an understanding regarding it but to what extent it will be is a good question. And I am not sure at present!

[@cloakster]

Thanks much for going into a bit of detail here. 🙏 It does worry me some. Reta would be fantastic for my (moderate) fatty liver. But, I don’t want to lose a lot of muscle mass simultaneously. 🤦

[@lokipokey]

​@@theofficialdrdan Thanks, I found it :) Your suggestion that insurance should cover these drugs doesn't consider the outrageous cost for them in the US. I did a bit of arithmetic, and if Medicare were to pay for, say, Wegovy for all their obese patients, it would literally cost more than 100% of Medicare's entire budget! If they added in the merely overweight, it would cost over 200% of the budget, thus tripling Medicare's total costs. I agree that drug companies deserve to recoup their R&Dn and testing costs and make a good profit, but there is absolutely no need for them to be charging the astronomical prices they do in the US. China just announced approval of branded Ozempic (yes, they have their own knockoffs,) and the price there will be $150/month. I've simply decided to call all GLP-1 and GIP drugs "unobtainium." I managed to lose about 50 lbs over a period of 5 years, but got stuck 2 years ago at 200 lbs. At 5'9" that puts my right on the edge of merely overweight vs obese. I'm feeling quite despondent about it. I know what to do, but it just isn't working any more :( My only hope is that perhaps my Chinese or Danish relatives can bring me some from their countries.

Just curious.

[@theofficialdrdan]

The medications don't stop working. They continue to suppress your appetite and food seeking behaviors. However, we need to keep in mind that losing weight requires calories in < calories out. So if you aren't losing you aren't a calorie deficit consistently enough. The medications aren't magic they only make it a bit easier to get into a calorie deficit. So you still need to ensure you are actively achieving a calorie deficit via tracking your calories or what have you.

[@josephb3147]

why not cut the dose

[@theofficialdrdan]

I'm glad you talked to your doctor. Hopefully you discussed alternatives or other options available to you 💙💙

[@MomoSaysHii]

@@theofficialdrdan yeah he put me on jardiance instead and I've been doing well on it!

Retatrutide is amazing takes your hunger away on day one

[@chiropaul]

Agreed. I started at 3mg dose and lost 9lbs in 2 weeks. Upped dose to 4mg this week and barely hungry. So far zero side effects

[@jpwf0177]

So why doers anyone actually go with Ozempic over Zepbound if semaglutide is actually not that effective. I hate when people see skinny celebrities' and they say "Oh shes got that ozempic" and im just thinking "No way is ozempic going to cause that much loss"

[@MrBen1980]

I think the word Ozempic is used as a catch all by most people who havent really looked into this whole topic. Also think that most celebs didnt realy need to lose lots of weight and actually went on Ozempic rather than Mounjaro as it was the first thing that was on the market and they obviously have easy access by way of private docs etc (just like with all the other prescription and rec drugs theyre on lol). If youre 130 pounds wet and you lose 13 pounds/10% thatll show And it will look like more compared to when youre 300 pounds and lose 20 pounds.

Would taking Tirzepatide at the same time as retatrutide cancel out the glucagon benefit of Reta?

[@billyhw99]

No doctor would prescribe both of them at the same time.

[@jeffchastain2977]

Dr. Dan, how do you feel about diabetics getting run over by rich people, who want to lose weight and can pay full price for these drugs, that are making them not available for diabetics that the drugs were developed for, and that the drugs are a crucial part of our therapy who can no longer get them because of shortages? I would love to see at least one or two of the many KZbin doctors who are talking about these drugs, and spinning up the demand for them, talk a bit about all the off label prescribing that is making diabetics have to chase these drugs from pharmacy to pharmacy, and frequently change dosages or completely change drugs or go completely without any because people are getting these drugs that should not. There is only one of these meds that is approved for weight loss.

[@theofficialdrdan]

You're using a strawman argument. These drugs were developed for people with chronic diseases, both diabetes and obesity. Both chronic and progressive diseases. You are creating an us vs. them dynamic because it's easy to be mad at your fat neighbor Joe vs. understanding and trying to change the government and pharmaceutical systems that led to these issues in the first place. If we take things a step further, and we use your logic. There are more people with obesity than diabetes. Therefore, these drugs should be allocated just as they are, and people with obesity should be up in arms that people with diabetes are being prescribed these meds. Especially since people with diabetes have multiple drugs and classes of drugs to treat their condition. Does that sound reasonable? Personally, I don't want to see either scenario. You're mad at the wrong people, Jeff. Direct your energy towards changing the actual problem vs. your neighbor Joe, and maybe we can see some real change!

[@artclasswithdeanna829]

Why do you think a diabetics needs are more important than overweight peoples needs? Why do you think a so-called "rich" person doesnt deserve medical care too? You've made some shallow, illogical, ignorant arguments.

[@npd6225]

Weight does not equal fat unfortunately. It melts your muscle away too.

[@UniversalMysticsOfChrist]

It doesn't melt muscle 💪🏽. You not eating enough protein melts muscle.

[@kevinsutube1p528]

U just gotta make sure you get good amount of protein and lift weights. At least 1.8g of protein per kg of body weight

I like to see all these people just scrambling like hell to bring more Ozempic clones to market! LOL! So now everyone is going to add something to Ozempic to try to make the big bucks. I'm glad to see it, however, for there is a really bad lack of supply of these drugs now and some diabetics can't get them because all the rich folk with connections are using them so they can fit in their tiny dresses.

Ozempic is not even the first GLP-1 medication to hit the market… Byetta beat it by 12 years. 😯

‘Ozempic clone’? 😒 Ozempic’s not even the first medication of this type to hit the market (‘GLP-1s’)… Byetta beat it by 12 years.

@@cloakster But Ozempic is getting all the fame!

That part is true. It’s probably because Oz was the first highly effective one… though it’s not the most effective one currently on the market.

13:00 If you have 5 extra lbs of fat around the midsection, attractive women won't date you; I could walk all day but who cares if I'm lonely. Funny he acts like fat loss isn't needed if you can still walk to the fridge.
