This week, we're joined by Robin, our Holistic Integration Nutritionist, to talk about the dangers of Ozempic-style drugs and how they can harm patients long-term.  In this episode, find out:—How Ozempic-style drugs work by trying to imitate the GLP-1 hormone the body produces naturally.  And why these drugs don't work as well as the actual GLP-1 hormone because they are not the exact hormone, but something called "an agonist" which can produce the OPPOSITE effect intended. —Why Fiber has been consistently shown to be the best thing for weight loss. —The story behind how a Type-II Diabetes drug transformed into being marketed as a weight loss drug.  And the role of celebrity influencers in marketing these drugs with unrealistic expectations.—The dangerous side-effects being experienced from Ozempic-like drugs, including gastric and abdominal issues that have caused stomach paralysis where people "will never be able to eat normally again".  And how patients have also experienced pancreatitis, nervous system damage, blindness, kidney failure, and even suicidal thoughts.—Why Dr. Prather says that quick weight loss is never just about losing fat, but a loss of muscle.  And why this explains "Ozempic face" and "Ozempic butt". —How Holistic Integration is able to get to the root cause of obesity through advanced diagnostics like our Gut Zoomer.  And the detailed information about your body that is revealed through stool kit testing.—Why Dr. Prather says that "people who take their health seriously" should have a Functional Health Doctor.—How the Body Composition Analysis and Fit3D Body Scan diagnostics used at Holistic Information show a detailed and accurate picture of your body. —How you can get a 20% discount on all advanced diagnostics at Holistic Integration for the month of January.—Plus, we announce the details of our Free Holistic Integration "Fit Focus" seminar on January 29th at 6 p.m.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

There's been a lot of women experiencing weight loss as the result of taking meds such as Ozempic and Wegovy (both versions of semaglutide--initially developed with the intent to help control Type II Diabetes) and some of those women also have been noticing texture and condition changes of their hair as well as some reporting noticeable hair loss.  Could this be a side effect of the meds, too? In this episode, I am going to give you my take on this based on what I have seen firsthand both as a nurse and now having eight years of experience with hair loss clients in person, and what questions they have asked me and the opinions they have given. I also address a reminder that ANY body changes, trauma, dramatic weight loss, changes in nutrition, medical conditions such as hypothyroid, COVID and auto-immune disorders ALSO affect your hair's condition, growth and texture.   Think of your hair as a "report card" for your health on the inside.  Anything that affects your physical and mental health has the potential to have an effect on your hair.   Remember, taking care of yourself involves both your physical and mental health, and most of all....your spirit!  Put yourself just as high on your priority list as you do the others that you love!   And remember, I am not a physician and nothing I say should replace medical care with the professionals that know you and your specifics!    Peace, Love, Alternative Hair Debra Heim @debra_heim on Instagram and Debra Heim on Facebook @verybestlittlehairhouse on Instagram and Facebook

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog My goal for BioBalance Health® is to guide my patients to live a healthier life by offering them the newest preventive treatments, and safest hormone treatment available. My patients make an appointment with me and Dr. Sullivan for help with their current symptoms of aging and hormonal treatment to replace their missing hormones.  They also receive a plan for unique preventive lifestyle changes to assist them in continuing their lives in health. But first, I believe that treating the symptoms of aging is the first thing on the agenda, and those symptoms are treated by replacing the hormones that disappear with age, testosterone, estradiol and often thyroid hormone. These symptoms are classic and appear within a short period of time, together: This is a combined list of symptoms of Testosterone and Estradiol loss for women after age 38, combined with loss of Testosterone in men after age 50.   Symptoms of loss of Testosterone and Estradiol   ·      Loss of normal youthful body, muscle and shape ·      Loss of sex drive ·      Infrequent or absent orgasms ·      Fatigue ·      Depression   or Anxiety ·      Insomnia ·      Memory loss/ Difficulty thinking ·      Loss of motivation ·      New migraine headaches ·      Decreased muscle mass ·      Joint aches/ arthritis ·      Dry eyes   ·      Loss of balance ·      ED in men (men) ·      Poor or decreased ejaculation (men)   ·      Increased belly fat Loss of waistline ·      Weight gain   ·      Cellulite ·      Ringing in the ears   ·      Dry vagina (women) ·      Painful intercourse (women) My patients frequently tell me that they feel so good after getting their first testosterone pellets that they wish they would have come to see me years before because they have been suffering and now their symptoms are improved or gone. They also comment on how great their sex life is, their improved stamina to walk, play golf or run and how much younger they look! That is the enjoyable part of my practice. Replacing these hormones gives my patients their lives back and gives them their energy back so they can make changes in their lives to keep themselves healthy to avoid the diseases of aging. The Diseases of Aging are these: Cancer Type II Diabetes Arthritis Heart Attack Stroke Dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's disease Osteoporosis Frailty, inability to walk or climb stairs Immune deficiency Autoimmune diseases Depression and anxiety We find that we get great results with one or two hormones, but because we are preventive medicine doctors and hormone replacement doctors we are not just interested in your current condition and symptoms, but we are concerned about the diseases you are at risk to get when you get “old”.  We then go over your family history of diseases with you and use it to determine what you are at risk for. Let me say that family history is only ½ of your risk factor because each parent only carries 1/2 of the genes you own. This means that your risk is usually watered down by the relative who has the disease, and your risk usually goes up if two relatives on opposite sides of the family have the same disease. Even though we use family history as an estimate of your risk for diseases in the future it is not very specific or accurate.  The information your family tells you about their history may not be accurate for the real diseases your parents and grandparents had.  My family history is a good example of bad information in an individual's medical history: I thought I was at risk for Adult-Onset Diabetes because my grandfather on my father's side and my grandmother on my mother's side had Type II Diabetes. I was worried since medical school that I would eventually get AODM too. When I had my genetics done, I found that I had 4/5 genes that foretell obesity, but NO DIABETES genes! This changed my approach to my own health from avoiding carbs totally, to losing weight until I was at ideal weight.   In case you don't know it, almost all obese people develop Type II Diabetes eventually. If they don't change their lifestyle soon enough and lose weight as well as get the proper nutrition it is in their future. Diabetes is a disease that will follow them through their lives, putting them at risk for other diseases like cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, dementia of all kinds, arthritis, and joint deterioration needing joint replacements. This list includes the most common causes of death. So the moral of the story is, my family history didn't tell me what I was going to be at risk for!  You can plan your healthy living plan based on your family history, or you can get your own genetics done to tell you what you are at risk for based on your genes, OR you can just clean up your lifestyle, receive your hormone replacement using the safest delivery system (pellets) and begin a healthy lifestyle as soon as possible. Get real information based on your individual situation now with blood work and add your genetics or family history to help motivate you to get healthier. Changing your lifestyle is the hardest thing you can do so getting expert advice from a physician, and then follow it.  Look for a doctor who will help keep you motivated to follow your healthy living plan and do your half of the path to health and healthy aging without disease.   Please join me, Dr. Kathy Maupin, BioBalance Health® next time when we outline a plan for health and longevity to avoid the pain and disability of aging.

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog That is a strong statement, however I am confident in saying that belly fat can put you at risk for Alzheimer's disease, because it is a fact supported by medical research. These studies reveal that obesity, especially abdominal obesity (Beer belly, Gut, “Dunlap's disease”…..), increases the onset and rate of Alzheimer's dementia! Another reason to change your lifestyle to benefit your longevity. Abdominal obesity can come from fat accumulation right underneath your skin (the fat you can pinch between 2 fingers) OR the fat that grows inside your abdomen like an apron draped over the intestines. It is called “visceral fat”, and this type of fat is what places you in the crosshairs for several diseases of aging including Alzheimer's Disease, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and rapid aging.  A large belly is more common in men, but it is still a risk for women if they develop an apple shaped body. Below is a picture of visceral fat, and a diagram of what it looks like in an artist's sketch of a normal weight person. When the yellow fat doubles and triples in thickness the abdomen pushes out to look like a “beer belly”.   Visceral fat extends from your stomach over the transverse colon and your small intestines like an apron.  This fat pad thickens with alcohol abuse (beer belly), high carbohydrate diet, overeating, junk food, under exercise and creates a large pad of fat that secretes inflammatory cells.  The resulting inflammation is the vehicle that damages your brain leading to Alzheimer's disease and damages your arteries leading to heart disease and stroke. In my office we use INBODY machines that measure your Visceral fat, BMI, and percent body fat.  Normal visceral fat is below #10 on our machine, BMI less than or equal to 25, and fat % for men < 19% and for women < 26%. The Research: A recent study correlated the size of patient's belly (visceral belly fat), and obesity with the amount of amyloid plaque (the cause of Alzheimer's disease) in their brain. This was measured by MRI in the study subjects' brains.  The age of the patients studied was between 40-60. The study found that the amount of visceral fat (fat inside your abdomen) is directly correlated with the amount of amyloid plaque and inflammation in the brain!  That causes Alzheimer's Disease. If that doesn't motivate you to lose your belly fat, then you are making a choice to eventually suffer from Alzheimer's disease, a heart attack, a stroke or arthritis.  If you are thinking that you will just wait for “something to happen”, then not making a decision to change your lifestyle is making a decision to take on illness in the future. We have new medications to help you lose that belly fat and they really work. You should ask your doctor to help you and if they don't understand the importance of arriving at ideal weight then look for a different doctor who will help you. Even with medication you will have to put in the work and self-control to turn down unhealthy foods when others are being unhealthy.  You will also have to add daily exercise to your schedule if you really want to avoid Alzheimer's Disease, heart attack, stroke and early death. The possible meds and habits that can help you lose your “belly”: ·     Limit calories and or carbohydrates ·     Increase daily exercise ·     Diet pills (amphetamines that older patients usually can't take) ·     Xenical (Orlistat)-Side effect is fatty diarrhea ·     Qsymia (topiramate/Phentermine) can increase BP ·     Contrave for craving (naltrexone/bupropion) can decrease sex-drive ·     Semelanotide (Imcivree-new), darkens the skin, expensive ·     Metformin ER an oral, effective medication to treat insulin resistance, and promote weight-loss ·     Victoza and Saxenda injections are diabetic treatments, that can cause GI reflux, however they work well for patients who have Type II Diabetes who need to lose weight. Even though many patients lost weight with these medications, many could not tolerate the drugs listed above because of the side effects.  These side effects limited our ability to help all patients lose weight…until now! Now, for the first time we have an effective way to help most people lose their dangerous visceral (belly fat). If you have a big belly you are at high risk for inflammatory diseases like Alzheimer's dementia, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer and stroke. The new weight loss drug's generic name is Semaglutide, and has been marketed under several names: Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus. A second generic drug that is in the same family of drugs is called Tirzepetide, includes Mounjaro (for diabetics) and Zepbound (for weight loss). All of these drug's work for weight loss, pre-diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes.  Most insurance companies do not cover weight loss and they require a precertification for you to get the medication covered by insurance.  This precertification process is time consuming for the doctor and her staff, which costs the doctor an increase in her overhead to employ a nurse to provide this service for the patient. In general people with a BMI under 30 will not be covered for Semaglutide or Tirzapeptide, however if their BMI is over 30, there is a chance insurance will pay for one of these drugs for a period of time. The market price at the pharmacy is between $900/$1200 per month if you pay out of pocket to your pharmacy. Because of this fact and because we have so many patients whose pellets are not paid for by insurance, we provide access to the generic form of these drugs through a compounding pharmacy. The cost is a fraction of the normal out of pocket cost, about $560 for 3 months supply. In this way we have been able to treat many people who cannot afford to pay the exorbitant going rate for this medication. Because it is costly for a patient to receive the medication no matter how they are able to get it, It is very important for weight loss patients to be compliant and follow a low carbohydrate diet, exercise daily and to refrain from alcohol consumption while they are taking weight loss medications.  We require our patients who request these drugs to be seen at least every 2 months by one of our NPs or our weight loss specialist to help them get the best results possible. These drugs work for weight loss and diabetes by multitasking.  The ways the medication actually works are listed below: Semaglutide and Terzapeptide, ·      decrease hunger between meals   ·     you feel full faster than normal so you eat less ·     decrease sugar and alcohol-craving ·     decrease the release of sugar from the liver when you are fasting, which turns into fat ·     Prevent hypoglycemia which causes hunger and fat gain ·     Makes patients more insulin sensitive. Obesity is not just a lifestyle problem; it is a disease that should be treated with medicine PLUS lifestyle changes. These drug actions take place in the brain, stomach hormones, pancreas and liver, as well as in all the cells in your body. At Bio Balance Health® have years of experience in treating patients with bio-identical testosterone pellets and we have observed that weight loss plus testosterone pellets for patients over 40 allows patients to lose fat without losing muscle. Now we add these weight loss medications to T pellets, and we have the perfect combo for safe weight-loss (really fat loss). The biggest worry for patients is that they may not be able to get off this drug after they achieve ideal weight.  I have found that the longer you have been overweight and the more overweight you are, the higher the risk of needing maintenance medications to maintain your ideal weight. We try to wean our patients off injectable meds by switching them to Metformin ER, a drug that insurance will pay for. With these effective meds we finally, we have an effective preventive treatment to add to our testosterone and estradiol pellets for those people who view Alzheimer's as their worst nightmare, and for those patients who are worried about heart disease, diabetes and stroke  we can prevent the diseases that can ruin our “golden years”.   KCM Research: People with large amounts of visceral fat as they age may have higher risk of Alzheimer's disease.
