Quick chat about something important.
I was blindsided by this last week. 😲
All of the sudden I am hearing lots of buzz about Ozempic. 💊 It’s a Type 2 Diabetes drug that is also known to curb your appetite and aid in weight loss.
After learning about one of it’s side effects (weight loss), this drug has gone viral and now there is a shortage.
I learned this through a client and now that it’s on my radar, I hear LOTS of people talking about it. According to one of my sources, “all the housewives are trying to get on it.”
Obviously, there is a serious struggle going on – Women are desperate to lose weight!
My nutritionist/coach brain has lots of questions about Ozempic and we all deserve to learn the true answers.
👉🏻 What are the possible side effects of this drug? Taken from the Ozempic website… “Ozempic is a once weekly injectable prescription, along with diet and exercise, lowers blood sugar in adults with Type 2 Diabetes. Ozempic may help you lose some weight but it is not for weight loss.” Ozempic may cause serious side effects, including: Thyroid tumors, including Cancer inflammation of the pancreas (Pancreatitis), Changes in vision, Kidney problems (kidney failure), Gallbladder problems and the list went on and on …
👉🏻 How will this drug affect the metabolism in the long haul? Ozempic was FDA approved in Dec 2017 so it’s been in use for approximately 6 years. That’s a nice chunk of time, but I don’t think that’s enough time to truly know how it affects the metabolism.
I do know that the side effects are pretty harsh to major organs (thyroid, pancreas, kidneys). These body organs are all connected to your metabolism and I can say with certainty that this drug will NOT help your metabolism – it will most likely damage your metabolism.
👉🏻 Now, I want you to use common sense: No one wants to be on a drug with nasty side effects forever, right? AND once you go off of it, you will most definitely, gain back the weight (sooner or later). AND most likely, it will damage your metabolism, making it extra hard to lose weight the next time.
👉🏻 So, my big question is WHY?
Why are women so desperate to lose weight, especially when they know this is NOT the right way?
Why are women unable to lose weight on their own (successfully)?
After helping so many women who were desperate for a solution…
These are the 4 main reason WHY most women are unable to lose weight successfully on their own:
🔴 They do not have the right knowledge (feel confused)
🔴 They are disorganized with their daily routines (no system – feel overwhelmed)
🔴 They don’t have support (no accountability – feel alone)
🔴 They never got personalized help
