Thank you for talking about this topic Julien. I first heard about Ozempic from a 50 year old client that told me he can't continue training anymore, because he is always nauseous from taking Ozempic. I did some research and suggested he should stop taking it, which he refused to do. He doesn't like training "because it is hard" and so he stopped. Part of me says, I should find a way to convince him to do it the hard but healthy way, but on the other side he kind of deserves what is going to happen to him. However the same cannot be said about teenage girls that are not developed enough to make reasonable choices. We have to stop this one changed mind at a time.

So strange, i didn’t knew anything about this drug, just finished listening to your podcast (damn this is getting so bad!) and now it’s everywhere… thank you for sharing the warnings!

And ON TOP OF THAT, when women stop lifting osteoporoses gets even worse!! This is veeeeery disconcerning! Great video and Im happy to see you’re back with some great content. Oh, on vaccine. It’s now clear that men in their 40’s who got their shots are now at increased risk for heart faillure…

The point you make about how the body positivity crowd is now all behind the miracle weight loss drug shows how they where really just lazy or maybe scared of failure is eye opening. It really shows how soft and coddled the west has become. Its great to hear your passion on this again.

If there is one thing that I have learnt from Strongfit, it is that when something is simplistic and easy, STAY AWAY AT ALL COST.

Thanks you for talking about that 🙏 it's awful

[@MegaJasonmiller]

Even bodybuilders are using it now for show prep. Funny thing is that these drugs are just GLP1 agonists, meat is also a GLP1 agonist so why not just do carnivore until you get cravings under control then reintroduce foods back in.

[@Strongfit]

Or just learn to stick with something that is good for you. It is crazy how doctors just refuse to acknowledge the human element. The war on competence is about to claim a lot of victims

[@VanVeenTraining]

@@Strongfit it’s not just competence. This drug is an easy way out. People like easy ways out. So, how would I as a coach start a open conversation with someone who is considering taking this drug?

[@Strongfit]

@VanVeenTraining it's not just competence, you are right. I was more refering to the fact that the US has been playing with identity politics for a while (over 60 years) and competence always dies early (from equality of outcome consequences, as a need to level things off). We have been telling people to take the easy route for far too long. To answer your question, you do not learn to swim on a table, people 25+ will take that drug. We can hope to explain to kids that this is not the way.

Merci Julien, l’église est à nouveau au centre du village ! 🙏🏻

One of the main things people know about medicine is that it's always bad for. Its just less bad than what its supposed to be treating. If you're morbidly obese and you're diabetic and need it fair enough there is no judgement on you there. Btw I agree with what you said about the issues with the drug on a societial level 100%. I too worry about what it would do to people as i can see the purchases and distriubution of the drug As someone with an economics degree who works in the pharmaceutical industry currently. There's actually a supply shock of ozempic aka Wegovy which is the rebraded form intended for weight loss. So they have to rebrand it because ozempic is for the diabetics but now that the supply is going to other countries big purchases being made in the Arab countries its jacking up the price and rarity for those who need it. Sooo this means its already happening if they're rebranding it for that purpose and thats what im against. Not for those who need it but please don't get this drug to teenage girls.

[@Strongfit]

This will follow the opiod epidemic. They WILL prescribe it to kids, and I am talking 8 years old

[@drsunnyjoker4816]

@@Strongfit it's already approved for kids who are 12 years old I would not be surprised. The system is fucked. You're right it's probably gonna be another opioid epidemic.
