I’m a Doctor. Why I would NEVER take Ozempic (Semaglutide): 5 BIG REASONS 

Dr Dhand, can you do a video on how doctors: 1) Benefit financially from prescribing meds for you 2) Benefit financially by referring you to another doctor

I know you said that there’s no drug you can take to safely help you lose weight, but if you have undiagnosed adhd, is it worth exploring adhd medication and would this help maintain focus towards a healthy diet and stick with a good exercise routine?

RUBBISH. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. This is why general GPs should not just be talking about things they do not know about. Please listen to endocrinologists, obesity doctors, SPECIALISTS. GPs/generalists speak from a general basis. Obviously better than the lay man, but still not the best on topics they know very little about!!!

Billions of years in the making. Not millions.

*Incorrect, Ozempic does NOT stop you from eating.* I've been on Ozempic for a while now and I still get very hungry. I never experienced those side effects, except for nausea and that's only if you eat too much, so yes you can still over eat while on Ozempic. Ozempic is a Miracle Life Saving Drug for people who cannot control their Diabetes. I only pay $7.70 for it here in Australia. You exaggerate the side effects. Minor side effects only effect 5% to 10% of those using it. Muscle loss happens when you lose weight and don't exercise, so ALL Diets lead to muscle loss. I am Diabetic and Ozempic is my last chance to control my Blood Sugar levels or die from Diabetes complications, and yes I have tried everything else with no success.

You got that right. They have no incentive to care about us.

They are adept at making us dependent. Oxycontin for example. Destroyed millions of lives, not just the users, but the families of the addicted.

Absolutely. And if we get better, it has taken a long time and the problem is not solved for good.

Indeed. The big pharma business model is to keep your patients alive but still sick and still in need of your drugs . Subscribing to your own life. A well patient does not use drugs and a dead patient does not need drugs.

All the above comments are correct, thank you ✅.

Great advice, and of course big pharma is paying these guys to push these chemicals.

Definitely the kickbacks are at the heart of prescribing a drug for 20 lbs overweight!

Yep. My mother had a really high A1C after having a stroke. I had to care for her, and changed her diet. The doctor had her on Metformin which gave her horrible diarrhea and yet never brought her blood sugar down. After I changed her diet, her A1C dived to a normal reading. When she was in a nursing home to rehabilitate from a stroke, she was listed as a diabetic diet plan. The food was identical to everyone else. She received a big glass of Coke and a dessert with her meals.

You are a good wife and a wise woman. Many blessings to you and your family ❤❤❤

Bubbles you nailed it👍 provably owns stock too.

Dr. Dhand is someone who's a REAL DOCTOR!

Wish he was my dr, such a gem of a man and doctor

I agree

Agreed.

She can stop I’ve a mate who took it lost muscle mass , yes lost weight but felt terrible just stopped taking it , looking better now 👍🏻

@@imbonkers3629 Thanks, I will let her know. She tried stopping before and said the withdrawal was similar to opioids. Maybe she needs to try and just push through it 🤷 just trying to help her.

But why is her doctor saying that she can’t quit it? What’s his rationale? I know it’s pure BS but I don’t get it.

@@nogames8982 💵 all about the money 💰

Intermittent fasting works wonders for your entire body, that includes losing weight.

Just thinking. Maybe the ghouls just want to appear more ghoulish. I mean, the desire to look old and wizened must be fairly strong to use a drug to achieve it.

We old farts are losing way too much muscle mass as it is. Super dangerous for the elderly. Thanks for the warning.

Absolutely! Thanks for watching

I briefly used injection for cholesterol, alot of muscle weakness.

It's injectable anorexia. I'm a trainer and a carnivore.

Interesting that you are a pharmacist. Can I ask you a question? What is your opinion on testosterone injections, such as Nebido?

100% it's frightening . have you seen the article in Medscape "ozempic burgers" utterly scandalous .

@@carinagomezfernandez7473 My uncle used to get testosterone injections. He got prostate cancer. I believe it was from the injections but I don't have proof. (Edited to add) My aunt was getting injections to increase her libido. She got malignant breast cancer.

I work on an orthopedic unit and am amazed at how many nurses are taking it and most of them don't need it in my mind. One nurse looks gaunt to me and they all swear it's great. We will see what happens in the future. I need to loose at least 20 lb., I'm going to try my best to do it the old fashion way, Ive heard too much negative things about the drug, no thank you

I totally agree and understand…been there and still dealing with GI doctors

How HORRIBLE!!!! I've been an ER/ICU nurse for 45 years, and the Dr's today, well not sure where they went to school, and/or they don't care. I hope you are ok now, my heart goes out to you! ❤

Holy crap! I knew I was headed in that direction so I cut it off at the pass - my doctor insisted that there was no suicidal ideation side-effects, which was a huge concern for me! Dang, I'm so sorry. But I know what you went through and woosh, not doing that again...if you missed my post, I was only on it for 6 weeks and I felt off, I felt strangely unlike myself but I couldn't put my finger on it. I also suffered from constipation and acid reflux of a substance I was sure were body juices rather than the food I had eaten - it was that gross and I'd never had that taste in my mouth EVER! I am glad you are on the mend! Alyssa

I was Sampy put me in the hospital for one week due to malnourishment and a multitude of gastrointestinal issues and that has been five months ago. I am still dealing with the after effects which may never go away. I had to stop working and I do not recommend this drug anyone

That is horrible

Can't fix stupid

Holy cow!!!!

Sending positive thoughts that you fully recover from this. Take care

Medical staff should never harass a patient to take a medication.

Oh yeah doctors get mad when you stop taking a prescribed med. I was sick from lisinopril and was able to exercise and took a potassium and magnesium supplement and was able to get my BP to normal levels. I told her I no longer needed it and she was upset. She stormed out of the room.

I took care of my mother after she had a stroke. She was on 12 different meds daily. Just about every side effect listed on the med happened. Most of the pills did nothing for her. My advice to everyone is ASSUME all the side effects will happen. People think they are just "rare events". They aren't. When they say "if you can't breath, call a doctor" for a drug that gets rid of a rash....don't take that medication.

Our medical system is completely broken seemingly since covid. I will never have trust for the medical "professionals" in the US ever again. I have heard insiders confirm that the medical industry is now based solely upon $$$ & nothing to do with patient health & care. The insurance companies make the decisions on what medications patients get, not their doctors. & doctors only have ~10 minutes per patient, which is not always enough time to discuss all of the patients concerns. It is a scam unless you are in the ER receiving life saving treatment.

Give me a break no doctor would be mad if you were experiencing heart palpitations!🙄

It's not the victims' fault.

Yes I remember it. Scary. People ended up not being able to breathe naturally, even though it was a weight loss drug.

phentermine-fenfluramine

Ephedrine was more recent. I got a personal trainer fired when he sold me a supplement he said would help burn fat. I told him that it couldn't have ephedrine in it because my system is very sensitive to uppers of any kind. They hid the ingradient under a different, natural sounding name, so I didn't know that the product, indeed, contained ephedrine. At 2:00 AM. the next morning, I was up having some kind of anxiety attack with thoughts I was dying and my heart racing. I called 911 and the EMS, who took my heart rate, and BP said it was like I had drank 4 pots of coffee, and it hit me at once. They pointed out ma huang as the source of ephederine. I went back to that gym, and the trainer was fired instantly. That incident ended up making me want to be a trainer so I could safely train people and give them good advice. I got my National Academy of Sports Medicine certification in 2003 and never stopped telling people that it's what you feed yourself that is 80% of your problem.

@@324cmac No but it's your responsibility to take care of yourself. There is more than enough evidence now that shows you should be questioning everything "experts" recommend. Fail to do so at your own peril.

Don’t nobody like his ass. Y’all just weird

Same here!

I think asking why people don’t just lose weight like you is like asking you why you didn’t just not put the weight on in the first place.

Totally agree with you. I lost 5 and a half stone in 14 months doing the same. Working on resistance training and now the muscle definition is showing instead of fat. Hubby is doing it as well and we are like couple of teens again running rings around our own. People ask how we did it and scrunch their faces up when we tell them what you got to do and cut out, even when they see how much better you look and feel they are just not prepared to do it. Sad really.

It is made with snake venom!!! Yes

Sounds like a lawsuit to me!

It's as if they're diabolical nitwits! Oh wait- they are!

Fasting 72-96h is the fastest way to both lose fat without losing muscle and also to reverse t2 diabetes quickly. The fat you lose from fasting always comes from the liver first because the liver uses it to produce blood sugar and ketones for the body! The many benefits of occasional extended fasting and lowering dietary carbs: Your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies in a 72h fast, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps with autoimmune disease, cancers and cytokine storm. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion growths pathogens and plaques by macrophages and other immune cells. This will remove spikes quicker, whether natural or unnatural in origin! Clots and plaques are removed over time due to accelerated phagocytosis. Fasting reduces cortisol over time and improves your circadian rhythm. Fibrosis aka scarring is reversed over time, including in the heart, lungs and clots. When insulin is high, vit D stays locked in the blood cells but fasting quickly lowers it. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Fasting restores NAD+ and increases nitric oxide release to open blood vessels. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, reducing inflammation and allowing the immune bodies to move freely through the body. T cells and T reg cells are vital in fighting cancer, autoimmune disease and infections. With age, the thymus stops making as many of them but fasting releases stem cells, which then can become new T cells. It also releases growth hormone, which regenerates the thymus itself! Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors and increases average telomere length in stem cell pools. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast but most teas and herbs are OK. Supplements and meds often break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasting activates autophagy (literally self eating), which causes cells to recycle damaged proteins and foreign matter such as viruses. Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The obese will lose loose skin while fasting, but the frail will have increased growth hormone release, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility for some women. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitochondrial DNA. Good mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention! 24h of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half! This reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. Over time fasting normalizes stomach acid levels and during the fast acid levels go down to allow for the healing of ulcers. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system, just like the effect of CBD oil Your brain prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal measure to glucose. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Fasting increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood. This stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, which can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. Fasting stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. They also help with dementia and many other issues even if you take them while not fasting! Glycine and trimethylglycine can also be useful supplements while fasting that won't break ketosis and have many benefits. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors that excrete insulin or certain rare forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all or only with doctor supervision. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis and done under doctor supervision. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast with a low carb meal.

Try Carnivore for your diabetes. It's reversing T2D in many people. Do a 30 day challenge. Just a suggestion.

If I were a diabetic I would do the carnivore diet with few nuts and berries mixed in, might eliminate your diabetes 😊

its like no one wants to do any 'work' of any sort at all. We are indoctrinated into a society of more, more, more and then a quick fix when it goes wrong. Sad but true. Ive got a friend who was a HUGE girl and had gastic band surgery and lost 60kg - no mention of cleaning up her appalling diet.

A Lutheran pastor here in Minnesota, now deceased, counseled thousands over his lifetime. He once told me some people believe in magic.

5 or 6 years ago I needed to ditch processed foods, chemicals and wheat as I had an auto immune.

@@runswithraptors what do you think celebrities are, influencers, and I’ve actually seen a “dr” talk about taking it to lose weight besides diabetes

They never stop surprising me. I should have seen enough by now to expect it and yet I am still in awe.

I've eaten clean keto for 15 years. It is a great way to stay healthy and maintain your weight (and muscle mass). I'm now reading that it also supports mental health (I think of 40% of college kids feeling depressed and anxious). I also do intermittent fasting. We don't (nor did we evolutionarily speaking) need to eat throughout the day. You only have to do this (I'm starving!) because people are carb dependent. Fasting is so important not only for weight loss/maintenance but also for autophagy (cell clean up and repair).

The meat diet is good too and eggs

It's not about eating less food. It's about eating filling, whole foods that are not processed, consuming healthy fats, avoiding sugar - and keeping your body in motion... while staying properly hydrated.

No. Eat real food! Stop the processed garbage and all the carbs.

Less chemicals more nutrients - takes 20 years to learn which is which how where what and when - we are toxic AF

But food taste good tho......

Thank you!

You are so right. In the western world I think us humans are in a down spiral into self destruction as a species.

Absolutely spot on

100% correct. Every time you eat a carb (and protein) there's an insulin response. There can be very little sugar circulating (around 5 ml) in the blood. Some, but not a lot is stored in the liver and muscles. So once they're full the rest is stored as...fat. You aren't fat because you eat fat (yes even saturated). You're fat because you eat carbs. People need to ask themselves. Why can't i use the body fat I'm carrying around for fuel? It's like you have a full gas tank but can't access it. You body can use fat for energy. You just have to stop stoking the carb furnace.

Obtuse and riddled with misinformation. Eating whoke foods is good though

Good to hear.. Dr Tyna Moore on RU-vid recommends it as a tool to stop the food noise/bingeing, as you did..and low doses for a steady weight loss. And not as a mono therapy - done right like you have .

Thanks for this. I’m hoping to use it for the same reason, to get a mental break and a handle on things so I can see some progress that I desperately need to motivate myself.

You can't live on Keto for the rest of the life. Your liver, kidneys and pancreas will pay for it.

Yes, they are starting to look at this drug for addiction issues as it takes away the cravings so I totally understand why you would want to continue.

My neighbor got bariatric surgery at her expense (it wasn't covered by insurance) in 2001. She did lose a lot of weight. One year later she gained 80 pct of it back. I haven't seen her since 2009 when I moved to a different suburb, but I'd bet the farm she's as fat as ever

NEVER EAT MCDONALDS OR ANY OTHER JUNK FOOD. IT'S GOING TO KILL YOU

It's not meant to be a mono therapy miracle. Ita meant to be a tool. To stop cravings.

😮

Great point! That’s why I won’t take statins either.

Oh! Good point

Exactly what I thought when he said about muscle loss. Very dangerous I should have thought

Thing is muscle loss happens even without a GLP-1 medication. It does not increase muscle loss with dieting. People are just cherry picking side effects for what ever reason.

Not really. Most of them will be looking for coffins ⚰️

So a quick search on PubMed will show tons of research being done and showing crazy improvements for people who have, especially diabetic kidney disease. I have lupus and keeping my blood sugars down with a GLP-1 when nothing else worked may be the difference between a kidney transplant or not. These doctors and media need to stop with the scare tactics against these drugs, SCIENCE AND RESEARCH IS SHOWING THEY ARE HELPING, with typically only 1% having serious side effects, and the most common side effects are easily manageable.

Carnivore diet is like a vegan: human invention and can’t end well for people on it. As there’s no such an animal that’s perfect vegan ( as they all consume animal protein), there’s no such animal that is a perfect carnivore ( all of them eat veggies). This diet can benefit you short term but will come on your health with high interest rate when you do it long term.

Same for me!

@@saraandstuartshannon2160 I disagree. Paleo-anthropologist can find NO evidence that people only ate "vegan". Our nearest evolutionary cousins have very different digestion systems to deal with a plant based diet. There is overwhelming evidence that meat/fish was the basis of our diet. The seeds, nuts, fruits/veg were supplemental (and seasonal). Native people preferred animal fat (and protein) and Inuit, are it exclusively (with no cancer). I just read a book call Change your Diet, Change you Mind. While Keto is recommended, for people who don't find enough relieve, carnivore is recommended. This way of eating is natural and healing. Vegan diets that are naturally high carb (constant insulin drip) are not.

Thanks for watching and your great comment 👍🏽

did you lose any weight? thanks for sharing!

The dosage is different with those using it for diabetes and unfortunately some Dr’s say we don’t know the long term effects on these dosages 🤔

Thank you!

My Rx for Sleeping Beauty disease is $20;000. Per month! So grateful for insurance. They declined twice, but I have approval for a 1 month trial The Rx is the ONLY FDA approved drug for my condition. I have done ALL the natural approaches to wake up. Good blood numbers, dissolved 2 kidney stones, improved liver fat and stiffness, and dropped blood pressure all by lifestyle medicine.

Oh, yes they are. Medicaid is buying it for Type 2 diabetic. Obesity and Type 2 are Food Causes Disease

That is horrible. So did my daughter. She stopped within 2 weeks.

@@sherrihinton2885 I'm sorry /not sorry your daughter had a bad experience - the silver lining is she stopped /before something really bad happened. Just thank God whether you believe or not, this drug will make you believe in his miracles, not the ones manufactured in a factory with really spooky names - Wegovy and Monjaro - makes me think of wilding out with a false idol, so nope, nope, and, nope! (I included Ozempic in the three nopes). Take great care, Tell your daughter she made the right choice. Sincerely, Alyssa

@@sherrihinton2885 shoot I thought I replied to you...dang...not doing it again lol...I'll simply say thank God she is no longer taking it!

What do you expect from taking Snake Venom??? 🐍🐍🐍🐍

That sounds terrifying.

Saw an ad on tv for a weight loss shake. All these people dancing around flopping up and down and wobble, wobble. I asked if people these days didn't want to sell their products

yes amigo its collectively called discipline!

whats going to happen when your thyroid is compromised? Oh yes, weight gain

what kind of dosage were you injecting per week?

It's not the victims' fault.

Or they have tried everything else and found nothing else cured their GLP-1 deficiency.

@@324cmac Shame shame…..we would NEVER shame other populations of people who need heart medications, thyroid, blood pressure. Your comment shows a lack of empathy and education.

You're right. It is difficult but worth it. I eat keto and intermittent fast. My food bill isn't any more even with grass fed beef because I eat less high quality food. My body wants fat first, then protein and maybe carbs. I'm full. For example I eat around 1 pm. For lunch I have 4 eggs cooked in coconut oil (sometimes another protein) and a veg. Dinner fatty meat, a salad with nuts and a few berries, a veg with butter. Occasionally I'll have some nuts or almond bread. Not expensive because all the other junk never gets in my cart :)

You can try to cook a little bit of carbs en mix them with a lot of veggies and legumes you prepare in a wok. Use a bit of olive oil to bake them first (with chicken, other bits of meat..) and than don't let it burn to much by adding fresh tomato's... fresh courgettes... on a low fire. At the end you can add a can of lentils. You can add add herbs and spices as you wish. It will taste well and don't give you the feeling to be hungry. Same for cooking in wok and adding a bit of rice or potatoes. 😋

eating more proteins are not more expensive over time. When your body gets all the nutrients it needs and is running as it should, you automatically eat less, and less often.

similar to you but cut all processed out and over time switched to all organic, even meat, I eat way less as I get nutrition from my food and eating twice a day is enough so its not more expensive. Recently I have switched to raw milk and am even better. Removed my meds and switched to organic iodine. 68 also
