Is Ozempic the Answer to Safe Weight Loss?

GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone produced in the intestines in response to food intake that plays a role in regulating blood sugar and appetite. A class of drugs that mimic the effects of this hormone are called GLP-1 receptor agonists. As of 2024, approximately 15 million Americans were taking Ozempic or other GLP-1 drugs. Wegovy is another popular similar drug. Ozempic is sold as a diabetes drug while Wegovy is approved for weight loss. One source claim 15% of American adults take or have taken Ozempic.

Ozempic and Wegovy are made by Novo Nordisk, a European pharmaceutical company, reportedly the largest company in Europe now. Their drugs are so dangerous that the Danish government does not recommend them. It recommends a change in diet to treat obesity and exercise. Their entire revenue stream comes from Americans. The drug is administered by a weekly injection. For the rest of your life. Cost is reportedly $20k per patient.

Many people report impressive weight loss using GLP-1 drugs. The side effects should not be ignored when deciding to try a drug such as Ozempic. The seven most common side effects reported are:

- Shrinks the heart muscle

- Nausea that ruins your appetite

- Vision loss

- Vomiting

- Diarrhea that depletes your nutrients

- Gastroparesis - stomach paralysis

- Bowel obstruction

Taking Ozempic causes food passage to slow too much, which can lead to health issues, especially gastrointestinal disorders. One 2023 study noted that people taking a GLP-1 drug had an increased risk of pancreatitis, bowel obstruction and stomach paralysis. Another study using data from a European system found that eye, renal, urinary and cardiac disorders also occurred in people who took GLP-1 drugs. Another disturbing side effect many people developed is ‘cyclic-vomiting syndrome’, a condition where a person vomits multiple times a day.

A common side effect of the GLP-1 drugs is referred to as the ‘ozempic face’, a condition that occurs when a person loses too much facial fat, resulting in a hollowed, gaunt appearance. When the body slims down rapidly, the elasticity of your skin, especially on the face, can be severely affected.

A more potential disturbing side effect is the pregnancy risk. The FDA has warned that Ozempic should be discontinued at least two months prior to pregnancy. This is because the drug stays in the body for an extended period, and its effects on a developing fetus are not fully understood.

Instead of teaching children how to eat healthy, the American Academy of Pediatrics is recommending Ozempic as a first line of defense for teens to fight obesity. It is all about money and greed. Nova Nordisk is one of the 5 largest funders of news ads and is the top funder of obesity research. They have reportedly given $30 million to obesity doctors.

Instead of the quick fix, consider healthy options. As stated above, your gut produces GLP-1 naturally. Akkermansia is a type of bacterium that naturally secretes a GLP-1 protein, which raises systemic levels of GLP-1. Akkermansia is not found in a supplement or in specific foods but by eating polyphenol-rich foods you can promote the growth of this bacterium in the gut. Polyphenol-rich foods are fruits (apples, grapes, and berries), vegetables (asparagus and onions), legumes (beans), flaxseed, green tea, olives, and oats.

To prevent or reverse obesity, avoid linoleic acid found in omega-6 oils, commonly known as vegetable oils or polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Focus on removing all junk food. Get exercise and sunlight. Snack on fruits and/or dark chocolate. Take digestive bitters or enzymes.

Some experts believe berberine is a natural Ozempic supplement. It activates AMPK (your metabolic master switch), improves insulin sensitivity, cuts appetite and lowers blood sugar. It performs as well as metformin without the common side effects.

Right now there are over 100 members of Congress who support a bill to fund Ozempic with Medicare at $1500 a month.
