I was desperate 4 months ago and almost started it. Instead I changed my diet and started exercising. I feel incredible. I'm so great I trusted my gut.
I have had 3 babies in 3 years. Total i have gained over 50 lbs from 3 pregnancies and breastfeeding. Few months ago i was miserable because of how i felt and now at 6 months post partum i am now going to the gym, intermittent fasting and running at night. I feel alot better. Still a long road to go but i don't think I'll ever do it any other way.
Some of us don’t bounce back, but we crawl and we keep going 💪🏼 I’m hoping postpartum for me this next time I’ll be able to get stronger after this baby! My first is just turning 2 around my DD
@@BeingShari I have had 5 babies. A pattern I noticed at least with me is that entire first year my body wants to hold onto the baby weight. Usually once I wean and my cycle returns then I begin shedding the weight. Must be a biological thing.
@@SK-ut6twTrue! The weight is not supposed to fall right off postpartum. Best to take it slow, and prioritize eating healthy, getting as much sleep as you can with young kids, and reducing stress! Exercise is not what a newborn needs you to be doing lol

@@lemmymororhead1733 it’s true about our overall health. I’d say it’s not the government’s job to fix that, in fact I think it’s partially people’s reliance on the government that got us to this point. A cultural shift needs to happen. People need to cook in their own homes. Reject all the processed sugars and foods. A big contribution to that is we have working mothers who don’t make home cooked meals anymore- sounds harsh but it’s true. What do kids eat to get by? School lunches and fast food.
My sister is a nurse and said she gets patients all the time with pancreatitis related to Ozempic use. This will have life long consequences for many of them! And pancreatitis is friggin painful! I'm also a nurse(just not working right now) and I had a patient with pancreatitis who needed 1mg of IV morphine every hour or 2 to manage the pain.
Something i am learning in my 30 years on this earth is that there are no shortcuts in life. Anything good must be worked hard for to be achieved. Our pain and suffering can be good things because they cause us to persevere and that builds our character. Its hard to embrace difficulty in the moment, but if you can, just shift your perspective slightly to see the character your difficulties are building, you will have a much more appreciative outlook for those difficulties you face in life.
The manufacturer is a European manufacturer, and they are NOT allowed to sell this product in Europe due to the number of side effects. But in North America...
I’m a nurse in Dallas and these healthcare professionals are so vain even they take it 😮. Also I work in the OR and those on ozempic are now considered “full stomach” even if they don’t eat past midnight bc of the slow gastric emptying. Which will change the way anesthesia team will put pt asleep to what’s called “rapid sequence”
As a diabetic, I utilize insulin injections as a prescribed treatment to manage my condition. While this medication has proven effective in regulating my blood sugar levels, it is crucial to emphasize that its primary purpose is for diabetes management, not weight loss.further more everyone that is abusing it because they are too lazy to loose weight the right way makes it hard for someone like me to obtain it .
To use it to lower blood sugars is equally lazy though. You could choose to eat foods with a low glycemic impact, and begin healing your body… rather than reaching for another drug to shortcut with.
@jaquirox6579 having type 1 diabetes is not lazy it is a hereditary disease it's not somthing u can get rid of either if that's the case getting bbl,lipo,fake nails,hair is lazy as well . That's like saying mental illness is lazy as well wow the education level and lack of logical thinking in women today is disappointing at best another fact for u to look up is you can be born with type 1 diabetes so is that mean your lazy lol 😆
"Dieting wasn't happening the way we would have liked it to happen", you can't take 1 week off burgers and sodas and expect to start looking and feeling better, it's a long hard road to fitness and health from obese, I know all too well.
All the medications in circulation have a list of potential dangers. YET, when someone goes to the doctor with unexplained pain, the doctor never thinks to switch out medication to see if it can be causing the problem.
Or... maybe they do think of this option it's just that they either get paid a huge bonus to push a certain drug on patients or they get coaxed into selling this drug to patients or else....😢😢 sad times we live in
Don’t trust it. I’m a nurse and the hospital system I work for offers it fully or partially covered by the insurance we carry. I don’t use my work insurance but I have seen this craze hit and people look sickly with the weight they have dropped. Years prior they tried to encourage through insurance healthy goals that helped decrease insurance cost. That didn’t do anything. But now they offer this? Either way my company benefits if this hurts or helps healthcare workers. They either pay less in healthcare insurance or make a profit down the line from them developing illnesses caused by ozempic like drugs.
Thank you for this, Alex. People are treating this drug like a miracle drug. If it's not taken for that which it was intended, Type II diabetes they're putting themselves in just as much danger as they would if they stayed overweight. There's only thing that has ever worked long-term-willpower. I know because I was morbidly obese. I lost 133 pounds and have kept it off 5 years. I'm still working on the rest. It's a struggle, but I will never take drugs or have surgery. Willpower takes longer if you have a food addiction, but it's worth the fight. This drug needs to be banned for weight loss by the FDA. It's being used off-label. It needs to either be strictly monitored or totally banned for weight loss. Diabetics may need this drug. That's when the side effects become less important with risks-benefits considered. Also the supply is going to be so strained the ones who really need this drug, the diabetics won't have it.
Great short and sweet video on the dangers of Ozempic. I wanted to add there's peer reviewed research that suggests Ozempic, Wegovy, etc (semaglutide) may have serious long-term effects on the BRAIN too, and it's not necessarily all good either - causing "Ozempic Brain" if you will. I'm a neuroscientist and made a video about this on my channel for anyone interested in a deep dive into what these drugs do to the brain.
A coworker was on it for her type 2 diabetes and she said the side effects were awful and since going off it she can't control her diabetes well and might be type 1 now
No it doesn't. I did meth for almost a year and didn't lose weight. would end up stuffing myself every couple of days. With semaglutide, i'm finally free from never-ending hunger.
This is terrifying. Especially when the segment with the kid came up. I’ve been an athlete my entire life and I don’t get the whole “we tried everything we possibly could have to lose weight but nothing happened” thing. Obviously you didn’t
I worry about these weight loss short cuts. My aunt just started taking Zepbound last month. I tried to (as nicely but firmly as I could) tell her that she didn’t need to but she told me that she had tried every thing else and she has. If there is a diet out there she has been on it so I don’t know what I can do other than present the facts as I have done. She is fully aware of them and still wants to take it so I just have to support her though I do not agree. I was watching Bob Hearts Abishola and Billy Gardell has lost all that weight but he did it on Ozmepic and he has that gaunt looking face. 😢
It infuriates me how many adds I see that say “weight loss without lifestyle changes”. 🤯🤬 I am a dialysis nurse, I have a pt that ended up in dialysis after receiving ozempic to help manage his Type 2 diabetes. Now, he was already seeing a nephrologist as he was already in the process of kidney failure, but ozempic sent him over the edge. I doubt
Do bariatric surgery next! I personally know two women who have needed a hysterectomy very shortly after having bariatric surgery- both women who had previously had children and a healthy reproductive system!
i was so skinny thru high school and into my 20's had a couple children and went up about 20 then later total of 35 pounds which stayed the same for decades now at 68, i never dieted and thought somehow the weight would fall off my belly, well it never did but at least i never yoyo dieted like so many do, as for these drugs i wouldn't touch any of them with a 10 foot pole
I know a woman who got on this and she lost so much weight I didn't even recognize her. It's wasn't in a good way though, she looked like a 70 year old skeleton she even acted old and slow. In my honest opinion, she looked and acted healthier on the heavy side.
I don’t think we’re going to be the sickest generation when we’re older. We could be but I think we’re waking up while there’s still time to turn our health around. The late Boomers and Gen X are a different story… I fear for them.
I told my Dad not to take the clot shot. Did he listen? I told him not to take OZM. Did he listen? You know that Meme where the chad is staring at the NPC with needles stuck in him asking "how are you still alive?" I'm not even mad any more...I'm just proud he's strong as an ox despite his foolishness.
OH GOSH! She solve the worlds equation: we all just have to diet and exercise! WOW! How nobody ever thought of this before!!! If cutting sugar and exercising was a valid easy option there would be no obese people in the world. Diet and exercise is also a life long pain that if you stop you gain everything back, and fast. Spending an entire life depriving yourself of all what is good is worst than death. I will keep my Ozempic. And I'm not even f4t. Never been, never will. I cant imagine to people who is really struggling and hearing you tell them just to diet and exercise for a lifetime and pooof all their problems will be gone.
The intense music and the overwhelming "doomerism" tone in your voice forced me to stop watching halfway through. It sounds like this was made for boomers who bathed in this kind of thing in the 90's and early 2000's.
As a diabetic who's body doesn't make the hormones found in Ozempic and benefits from it I find it very embittering to see healthy people with functional pancreas' taking this drug. Your body works why are you on this? Eat less sugar by God and you'll loose weight! I need drugs to live, you don't. Not yet anyway.
This is not correct for most people on this drug. Most obese people have grossly elevated insulin levels and a pancreas that is struggling. It just hasn't tipped over into elevated blood sugars yet. Its JUST as dangerous! And its just as much a disease that needs treatment
Thank you for coming to this topic! 🫶🏻 My mom is on this drug. Even though she is on it for diabetes, I'm still extremely worried about her health. She gets so excited about her weight loss and likes to show it off, but knowing what she's on it just makes me cringe a little. 🥴
I quit Weight Watchers because they now have online doctors that will prescribe Ozempic for weight loss. I switched to a calorie counting APP and lost 40 is 6 months by changing my eating habits. I am 70 years old. I am now at a healthy weight. I am now on no prescription medication.
You stop it and you gain it all again. A life time of stopping yourself or having a nice time is easier when you are near the end of life. We still have 50+ years to go, dieting all this time sounds worst than dyeing young.
I have a friend who was on Wegovy for a year (she’s 25). She just had her gallbladder removed due to stones and sludge. The connection is real (even the ER docs said so).

Natural weight loss is possible. I just lost 80 lbs naturally in Just over a year. Don't let anyone tell you you can't do it without medication or surgery
I am seeing some confirmation bias here mixed with genuine and legit concerns for people under 40 using this medication. For them, I agree with you. That said, You have no idea what it’s really like for people who have diabetes. I am watching this change some close friends for the better. They DO work out 5x weekly and after tracking food and showing they really do not eat processed food, but yet aren’t losing lbs and blood sugars are bad. This is helping them a lot. (combined with diet and exercise) Now, I too have lbs to lose. However, I don’t think I would be a good fit. I CAN and should make other changes first. For me, that is what I am choosing.
It's for how long the results stay positive, and the unforseen consequences that are the issue. Even if it does work immediately, what about 5, 10, 15 years down the road?
@edenelston7668 So, what else should they do? Keep trying diet and exercise programs that don't work for them? Seems like the definition of insanity to me. Good on them for trying anouther route and being persistent in their health goals.
Addressing systematic inflammation in the body is essential for weight loss and is a key underlying factor in a significant amount of weight gain cases. Love the content Poplitics is creating on the Spillover with essential holistic topics. Healthy homes, reducing toxins in our products, environment awareness, no mold - those ARE the missing invisible pieces for so many people genuinely struggling with weight loss.
I'm sorry, Alex, I love you and most of your takes, but this is a bandwagon position without evidence behind it. I have PCOS and have tried Every. Diet. Out. There. Ever since I was 15 years old. Keto. Paleo. Carnivore. Whole 30. IF. Caloric restriction. I had a blood insulin concentration of 29. The normal range is under 12. Nothing worked til I took Mounjaro at 24. 18 months later, I have a bormal BMI, and my insulin is 10. Would it be better if we all could eat healthy, family farm raised meat and veg and not have health issues crop up that require medical intervention? YES! But as of right now, most of us were fed garbage as kids, which fucked us up hormonaly. I do eat right. I have even under medical supervision without success. But the GLP-1 I take now has helped heal me. And the long-term risks of obesity are FAR WORSE that the long-term risks of these medications. Obesity is a chronic disease the same way that Diabetes and Alzeheimer's are chronic. Check yourself, and don't insult people who have taken the only viable option left.

I'm sorry, Alex, I love you and most of your takes, but this is a bandwagon position without evidence behind it. I have PCOS and have tried Every. Diet. Out. There. Ever since I was 15 years old. Keto. Paleo. Carnivore. Whole 30. IF. Caloric restriction. I had a blood insulin concentration of 29. The normal range is under 12. Nothing worked til I took Mounjaro at 24. 18 months later, I have a bormal BMI, and my insulin is 10. Would it be better if we all could eat healthy, family farm raised meat and veg and not have health issues crop up that require medical intervention? YES! But as of right now, most of us were fed garbage as kids, which fucked us up hormonaly. I do eat right. I have even under medical supervision without success. But the GLP-1 I take now has helped heal me. And the long-term risks of obesity are FAR WORSE that the long-term risks of these medications. Obesity is a chronic disease the same way that Diabetes and Alzeheimer's are chronic. Check yourself, and don't insult people who have taken the only viable option left.
Did you watch her hormone episode on the spillover recently?
Some Patents are so dumb. Stop buying crap and shoving it to your kids.

I like your video essays the best. I think Ozempic should be saved for the Diabetics who need it.
Chronic obesity patients with 2-5x normal blood insulin levels need it to.
