Like your parents use to say, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

If something sounds too good, the are usually horrible consequenses…..

Worst decision I ever made was to take this drug. The change in my physical appearance and the digestive issues I am still experiencing two months after stopping the drug are scary.

Been on ozempic since 2021 and my wife to. She lost 100lbs, I went from 223 to 160lbs. We go to gym and eat high protein. No side effects at all. Only thing was a headache when first starting and sulfur burps. Not a single problem after like 1 month taking it. Our blood results have been extremely positive, A1C below 5.0. Never was depressed and we are both loving life. Now came off ozempic and maintained weight no problem.

People don't realize that if they do intermittent fasting everyday, eat clean food (as little sugar, additives, pesticides, modifiers, vegetable oils etc as possible), and combine that with a moderately active lifestyle, they will lose fat. Because the fat gained happens from a combination of eating bad foods and not moving much. It is not fatty food that makes you fat, it is rathe bad foods that do. Natural fats, protein and carbs are good for and meant for the body. I have been eating real butter, animal fat and cream etc for years now and my blood work shows perfect levels. I have also slowly lost fat over the months and gained muscle. And that is without making my meal size smaller. I do also get to enjoy a glass of wine every once in a while, and natural homemade desserts. I once tried to eat sugar again after I quit for weeks, and my stomach had a severe reaction, which I interpret as a normal reaction to poison. Changing lifestyle is the way to go. NOT ozempic. We are living in a quick fix society, and it never bears fruit. The only solution to a global weight loss, is will power, making organic foods affordable, and eliminating toxins from our food. Since this will not happen, because of how food companies and big farma will lose customers from it, each individual has to take their own bodily health into their own hands.

It may help one eat less but we need to eat right

I was obese my entire life, once I cut sugar and carbs I lost all that weight. People need to get in the balance of feasting and fasting, periods of plenty of food and time without any food at all. Keto and fasting saved my life, I never felt better, more focused and healthy than I have ever felt in my 30 odd years on earth.

I have a good friend who was on it for a year. She was suicidal and depressed every day while on it. She lost 80 lbs and her muscles were gone. She still had fat roles on her stomach and looked skinny fat. She ate junk food and doughnuts the entire time she was on it. One year later, she's gained 20 lbs back. Her diet is exactly the same. I don't understand why people do this to themselves.

Social media in this case has pushed the use of this drug as if there was no consequences. Good to see respected Dr's like, including this podcast bring awareness.

I never thought it was a good idea for non-diabetics to take this medicine. I'm glad that someone is finally telling the truth!

The internet came along and we stopped moving.

I’m a dispatcher. Word spread fast through the communications center that this drug worked. So far we’ve had 3 out of the 15 taking it people needing emergency gallbladder surgery.

Dr. Hyman's approach to individualized functional medicine with an emphasis on diet and lifestyle is as good as you can get. Thank you both for the interview.

I lost 10 kilos on it. I couldn't get it for 6 months and I did not gain it back. You have to change you life style.

My husband was on it for diabetic reason. The side effects were so bad even after stopping it for months. Yes he lost some weight but he felt do dizzy sick stomach issues etc. He looks like Fred Flintstone dr put him on something else wasnt great but was better than ozempic now he still looks like a thinner version of Fred Flintstone. Dont get on this drug. Not worth it....cut out snacking all day, soda, ice cream, drink more water and try moving around more. Thats what i started doing a few weeks ago. Dont buy any bad food so you are not tempted to cheat when you're home

I tried it for couple of months but it slows down your digestive system so people with stomach issues should not take it. I ended up with gastritis and severe constipation.

50yr old -75lbs on Mounjaro. It’s a natural peptide. Cut A1-C in half and Triglycerides by 2/3rd. Must weight train and high protein

And here I am having lost 60+ lbs (28 kg) naturally, being asked all the time if I’m on Ozempic 😒

This reminds me of the issues caused by smoking, in the context of the fast food industry being worried that drugs like Ozempic might cause them to lose money

I started keto and IF the past 2 1/2 months and already down 17 lbs, down in body fat %, rarely hungry as I eat lots of fat and protein. Never felt better. No inflamation. No acid reflux. The benefits go on and on. Takes tons of commitment and no side effects like the ones possible on this drug

I wanted ozempic originally when I was diagnosed with type 2 but my physician being more cautious and not jumping the gun said I should try to get into control with diet, exercise and more proven drugs. It's going pretty well my almost debilitating arthritis is 90% better and I can actually walk for exercise again. I have to really watch my carbohydrates like a hawk however and I didn't really realize how carbohydrate heavy American food was until I had to actually keep track of it...you can't just look for 0 sugar and forget the carbohydrates hiding in your food.

"We have a massive obesity problem & we don't have any good solutions" is a horrific perspective on obesity.

Australia. I am a type 2 diabetic, was put on this late last year. Quite often cannot fill my prescription as not enough available. Have travelled up to 2 hours away to get it filled and had to go through 100 questions to get it via the chemist. (Which was fine) the chemist refused to put it aside until we could drive to the chemist, so could well have turned up to find it no longer available . We will not do this (travel distances) to get this script filled again, the fuel cost is crap, so we can’t afford to do this sort of running around. We do not eat processed foods, haven’t done so for 20 plus years. Grow our own veg, eat little mea, try to balance our diet. My doc has been great, explained possible side effects, I have checks every month, found I wasn’t drinking enough water, so have bumped that up and found tests results improved massively. (I have only two cups of instant coffee a day, 1 cup of tea, rest of the time water). Every time I go to the toilet, I have a 200ml glass of water to ensure my kidney function is optimumised. Constipation is a problem, so I have all bran and prunes each mid morning, as brunch, occasionally I may have a cup of home made soup for mid arvo and then a proper meal of a night, small portion of protein and veg or salad. I have lost a huge amount of weight, over 40 kg, so now I have options open to me to have knee surgery done, which will allow me to walk more and hopefully pain free, then I hope I can drop the Ozempic, as I should be able to maintain the diet and exercise. My diabetes is well under control and if I can keep the weight from returning it should be good. Like every medication available, there are possible side effects, most people don’t read the information included with the meds, and don’t query with their doctor regularly about what meds they are taking and if any can be dropped or dose lessened. I think my doctor must cringe when he sees me at times, I write out questions, check what else I can be doing etc. I am never made to feel like a fool for my queries and I do appreciate that attitude. So for me so far, Ozempic is working. But I do detest all the hype it has been given as a weight loss drug, which unfortunately is making it very difficult for diabetics to be able to get regular supply, if you do not require this drug for its intended use, find other ways. No hate responses please, just expressing my experience with the drug.

Great host and guest, thanks for this conversation!

Water fasting is free

Can't afford a gastric bypass. Then again I can't even afford food sometimes.

I appreciate the brutal honesty. I didn’t know half those side effects.

Sharon and Kelly Osborne are using it, i hope they leave it alone because its taking its toll on them.

Thank you very informative alot to know about this drug thank u ill be looking out for your next video

That's for speaking the truth.

I lost 55 lbs in 6 months, the last 8 weeks I’ve had terrible pain in my abdomen once or twice a week ,having diverticulitis I thought I was having issues w that bc of the ozempic .seems like a pancreatic attack , worse pain I’ve ever had in my stomach.I’ve since quit taking ozempic . I have not been sick since .

I took it for 2 months and lost 35 lbs. Been off for 5 months and dropped 5 lbs monitoring my diet and going to the gym. People who aren’t diabetic don’t need this drug for the long term. I’m going to resume it in June to drop another 25 lbs.

I have been off of Wegovy for 4 months and have maintained the 40 pounds I lost. Obviously I have kept my lifestyle changes, but I don't think what Dr. Hyman is saying here about the weight always coming back is really backed by the statistics. The most recent study I saw said about 25% of patients gain back ALL of their weight, 25% gain back some, 10% continue weight loss and the rest maintain. So that is 75% of people who lose weight. on this and about 50% keep it off. Further, I like Dr. Hyman on a lot of things, but, in the end, he is selling something. And these drugs mean he will sell less, it is pretty simple.

fasting, I went from 350 to 180

I am a type 2 diabetic. I am on Mounjaro and have been on Ozembic. I was already skinny when I started taking these medications. I have lost more weight, and it does suppress my appetite, which is great for controlling your sugar levels. But, you do have to work on eating when you're not hungry. I have struggled with energy levels and some minor digestive issues. I do still work 12 hour shifts a day at a rigorous manufacturing plant. It can be managed as long as you make the efforts to compensate for the side effects of these medications. So, like any medication, you need to make additional lifestyle changes to counteract the effects of drugs like Ozembic. These medications for diabetes type 2 are amazing, but I would not recommend them solely for weight loss.

Extremely clear! Thank you Dr Hyman.

Cost not an issue for type 2 diabetic seniors in Ontario -- it was around 6 bucks a month for me. I've recently stopped taking it, this time for good due to digestive issues. I did lose 70 lbs and have only regained a small amount so far but won't be going back on Ozempic.

Diet and exercise is obviously the best. Not only for weight, but mental health and muscle mass. Unfortunately, as time progresses and we have “quick” fixes without addressing the underlying issue and we are creating a culture shift where people don’t look at food as the problem. 😞

Now the food company is hiring people to say how bad those drugs are.

Great to hear educated opinions on this weight loss craze and how it works.

I think you don’t need to eat less just eat right. I eat a keto/carnivore diet and eat twice per day and I keep really trim even at 51. I eat lots of animal fats and raw dairy with a little fruit and green veg. I can’t understand how taking a drug that makes you feel sick, constipates you and could even kill you is given to fat people instead of helping them just to stop eating crap. Give them bacon and eggs for brunch and steak or chicken and rocket salad for dinner with pork rinds, some nuts and cheese for snacks and watch the pounds come off. Stop all carbs and processed food. It’s that easy 😊

The strange thing about what he said was that we don’t know about the long term effects . These meds have been used for years in diabetics. Why now is it potentially dangerous for people to use? I know people who have been on this med for many many years and it has done nothing more than help!

Dr.Hyman changed my view of medicine.I realized instead of writing for pills I talk about stopping eating junk food ,stop drinking soda,s.

I lost 20 lbs immediately but the problem was I stopped losing weight and it just stopped working. I didn't lose any muscle and it only cost me 200 dollars a month. Ive been off it for about 6 months and I'm not noticing anything negative?

$1500/month? The insanity of pharmaceutical companies and we Americans for putting up with it.

I have diabetes I am on ozempic and metformin. I haven't experience any side effects being one year on it and my sugar levels are as non diabetic. I honestly don't know what to think. I also have asthma (which has decreased to almost to asthma attacks since I started ) I also have UCTD and again no pain and no symptoms... Maybe is the collagen and all the vitamins I take but so far I ve been good. I will consider this info and ask my doctor

It’s like Fen/Phen all over again. I’ve experienced one of those “very rare” side effects.

isint the nauseous side effect literally from just not eating?

What are the studies verifying these numbers? I can’t find them anywhere, even original interview. Did Dr Hyman provide a reference list?

Would love to hear what Dr. Longo has to say about ozempic.

I would say its a net benefit since obesity creates a tornado of health issues that are more costly to someone’s health.

People need to find out why they over/under eat. This is usually down to mental/emotional reasons (comfort eating ect) it can take a while to get to the point where you don't emotional eat. It's a slow process as you have to face the emotions you have been blocking with food. It's not easy. But much better than take a shot that reduces your muscle mass by 50%!! That will cause you more problems than being overweight in the first place!! Learn to love yourself, listen to your body... when you have had enough food to feel satisfied (not full) and ditch all the shitty food programmes you have grown up with. No more guilt trips, just loving yourself for who you are. And loving what and how much you nourish your body with. If you listen your body will tell you what you need to eat and when. Don't take the "cheats" way, you will only have to do it properly after all. ❤

I was tempted and the PA I saw literally sat there and explained it and sold it. Hardly asked me anything. Not sure if she did an exam at all. I would have paid $150-200/month depending on the brand. It is made at a compounding pharmacy in my town. So many people I know are on it. I didn’t feel good about it especially since it slows digestion which to me means you’re more toxic. Gotta find my own way to release weight.

Finally someone jumping right into it. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

I just started Mounjaro this week. Even on the lowest dosage to start with the appetite suppression is quite remarkable.

My wife is on this as she was pre-diabetic. She is now no longer pre-diabetic, lost weight, and has no negative side effects. Her A1C is nominal (135). I’m wondering what exactly what the negatives are with this drug?

What a great doctor who educates instead of pushing drugs.

I gave up soda and went on Nutrisystem. I lost 35 pounds.

My wife is on it, and it costs her ZERO . It's covered by our medical system up here in Canada. It's prescribed by her doctor to regulate her blood sugar because of her blood cancer (chronic disease), but it's not deadly unless it mutates into a deadly version

I was taking victoza which the chemist said is basically the same and GLP-1, I believe if I kept taking it I'd be dead it caused me to have unbearable headaches and drowsiness and I had to take laxatives to go to the toilet because it caused me to be backed up for 6 days.

As a diabetic on Ozempic. Reduces motivation, sex drive. Reduces pleasure from alcohol, food etc.

People having bad side effects are too high dosage!!! take lowest effective dose..it works to suppress appetite, you lose weight gradually and you feel better..if your diabetic..it’s a blessing to control blood sugar. 👍🏽 again, take low dosages!!

I have already seen commercials on tv from law firms wanting to sue the drug companies because of side effects. It’s crazy that people want the easy way out and are willing to play Russian roulette with their health.

My son was prescribed Zepbound. He has been taking it for 5 months. Now he is told Lilly can't keep up with the orders for Zepbound and he will have to switch to another drug that is more available. Big Pharm!

Please interview Sarah Pugh on the show , she is a quantum biologist and research in cholesterol and carnivore diet! She has amazing information!!!

Start using minimal amount. Only $3k for 2 people for 4-5 mos- no insurance. Get moving! Massage bowels, exercise, eat lots of protein & drink lots of water!! Worth it!

Losing muscle is a side effect of weight loss, not specifically Ozempic.

ty

I lost 40 bounds. All craping out diarrhea. The whole time I took it I had diarrhea. I couldn’t handle it no more started getting cramps now my doctor put me on something else in which I can’t say but it’s legal in fear of retribution from you know who. I took it for my h1c. It worked on that. The new stuff I’m on works. I have gained back 10 psd. I lost muscle mass in my arms. I tire out guck now. I’m trying to get better. Side affects are bad. So, here I go around the track again 😊ps the meds I take now are just 200.00 dollars. Not $1.100.00. The cost to make it Ozempic that is I’m sure it doesn’t cost $1000 more like $50-$100.

GLP-1 inhibitors have been around for three decades in various forms, so long term studies on them have already been done and shown to be safe. Also, the drug makes you sick when you make bad food choices, so it is teaching you to eat better long term. Strength training is definitely a recommended that is being emphasized by any decent provider, so i think it really isn't as scary as it is being made out to be.

I understand the attraction of a helper to loose weight but as someone whose had to inject myself with methotrexate and 9 other biologic medications since i was 10 years old. It scares me people would do this if they didnt "have" to. It scares me whats happening to my body but ive got no choice. Ive dealt with weight gain and loss yes its fucking hard but i know people taking it who really havent tried anything else. Please try the healthy way. My friends wife has just been hospitalised taking this.

I graduated highschool at 320 pounds. When i was in my 20s i started eating right and went to the gym. Got to 180 and maintained for years. What is ozempec?

You lose muscle regardless or not if you use ozempic to lose weight. I would’ve liked to hear if he means you actually lose more muscle utilizing ozempic or not as a side effect

Here in Australia it's about 350 AUD a month. But there is no stock for non diabetics left.

I've been doing Wegovy for 6 months, lost 25kgs and my metabolism is stronger than ever, I can still eat and lose weight. It's great, I don't plan on stopping any time soon. Here in the UK costs around £200 so for me it's money well spent

Im on semaglutide 2 weeks now I was doing keto for 2 months before starting it Im still doing keto and i haven't felt any side affects for the most part granted im only on .25 mg

I have genetically low blood sugar and I started to take a similar drug for weight loss but my problem was having very low blood sugar in the gym. Apparently exercise can drop blood sugar by 70%

Brian Grazer makes some good points.

I was on for less than 2 weeks. Made me very sick. I have Gerd and suffer with gastritis couple times a year. I made me more depressed also. Not a good medication for me. Best thing you can do is eat right. I'm a diabetic and I was watching my diet before I started this drug. I didn't know anything about the weight loss.

Just say no. You are not a brainless animal. Taking drugs is not fixing the problem.

Listening to the side effects it inspires me to hit a diet and gym hard!

I'm curious as to what the long term effects will be. So far, every weight loss drug or surgery has long term effects.

After 3 years after giving birth I could not loose weight no matter what I did! And i am very active i whatch out what i eat etc etc.Ozempic helped me and after 4 months I stopped and I kept the kilos off and feel so m7ch better. I am still on the journey t9 loose 5 kg but I am doing it on my one... I needed help to k8ckstart my body because it wasn't responding to everything u once did and worked...

Extremely sleepy and former nurse here with balanced diet and exercise.. after three times straight of getting sleepy I'm kind of hesitant about taking it now... Anyone else experience this?

Wouldn't it be healthier and more efficient to work 1 less day in a 4 day work week?

Why are so many people trying to discourage the use of GLP-1s? The vast majority of people have great results.

I know a couple people who take it for weight loss. They definitely lost weight. I'm doing it old school with diet. I've lost almost 30lbs since Jan 1. They've lost around 40lbs in the same time. I'm getting nutrition eating meat and veggies daily. They just aren't eating much at all.

I lost over half my body weight since October last year. I'm down from 105kgs to 56kgs. I have my physical body and abbs back that I had iny 20's. I'm in my 50's and look fantastic. I guess it's not for everyone though.

In Australia it's only $asd 380 5 pens. You don't have to take it forever, but you have to learn not to binge again

I feel so bad for people who are affected by this. Short term benefits just aren’t worth long- term health effects. I just don’t trust drugs. The more I hear about medications, the more focused I am on staying as fit and healthy as I can. And, yes, that’s a struggle!

It absolutely does not cost that much!

This has to be a joke. I’ve lost 100 in 10 months by taking a weekly injection of semaglutide. I already had been eating well and excersizing daily.. before the semaglutide I spent a year going to gym five days a week. The harder I worked out, the hungrier I was that day. I felt helpless. After a year, I ditched my membership and dedicated my exercises to half indoor half outdoor. Then I found out about semaglutide.. started losing weight the first week. My appetite reduced.. Not just my appetite and eating less , but also cannabis and nicotine. I’m 6’5. I was at my highest weight ever when I began the weekly treatment at 310 pounds. I weighed in today at 211. Went from a 42 waist to a 36. The only thing I did for my diet was avoid as much processed food as possible, and watched my sugar intake. I did little things like get the low sugar, low-carb vanilla ice cream instead of the Ben & Jerry’s. Other than that, the white just fell off of me and I still have no clue how. my average white throughout my life has been 250. When I was 16 and I was starving myself I got down to 230. Before the medication I had not been below 250 since at least my college days. I’m 32 now. This medication gave me my life back. Without the extra weight, I can do push-ups properly. I used to be somebody that refused to look at themselves naked in the mirror. Now it’s hard to get me to keep on a shirt. It’s really funny hearing you talk about all of this in a fearful manner. I believe that most of the horror stories that have been told so far are just getting paid to say so (probably by someone that’s been skinny their entire life) it’s been a lifelong battle. I remember going to “kid fit camp” during my summers in middle school. I only hit 230 when I was 16 because my doctor gave me medication for ADHD that made my appetite disappear, and I took advantage of it. Which obviously eventually sent me into a spiral. The second I stop eating in a calorie deficit manner I would blow up like a balloon overnight. Moral of the story don’t let any skinny person gaslight you into not trying it.

For many this is life changing, the blood work and over all stats for persons health and for that alone it is a HUGE benefit. For a women in menopause, who eats well but has had a struggle loosing weight, this has been amazing with little to no side effects. Many won't gain back of they maintain healthy eating and exercise. Some just need this as a jump start. My cost is 300 a month for straight semiglutide. You don't have to spend 1700 a month and these costs will come down as soon as the newness of this breaks and when people figure out you don't have to get the brands name to get the same exact medicine. All of my doctors said it would be an excellent way to get my system jumpstarted. I have increased my protein intake and have added weight lifting and for long term my food is amazing and delicious... if you need get a nutritionist. You have to eat on this medication to keep your organs and body functioning... what about the side effects of having all of the weight. Everything has to be measured when making this decision. I think heart attack for being over weight is a bad side effect of obesity too.

I'm a type 1 diabetic and would love to take a GLP-1. I'm hoping they will be approved for Type 1 soon. This drug will make it where I don't have to take so much insulin. I'm already on a low carb diet and I exercise daily but it would be nice to take less insulin because insulin makes it hard to loose weight no matter what you eat.

Ozempic gave me gastroperesis

So you need to lift and eat right to be on this medication. So essentially you don’t need the medication because what you need to do will make you lose the weight anyway. 😒

I heard some people loss muscle weight not fat and become super weak

Right on.

I mean, I guess insurance companies weigh the cost of paying for Ozempic now, vs paying for heart attack, diabetes and more later.
