Welcome back, listeners, to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked. Today, we are uncovering the latest news and updates on Ozempic, from its medical applications to its influence on our daily lives and overall health.There is an exciting development in the world of weight loss medication: a pill form of Ozempic, known by its generic name semaglutide. According to The New England Journal of Medicine, those who took the daily semaglutide pill lost nearly fourteen percent of their body weight over sixty-four weeks, compared to just two percent for those who took a placebo. This makes oral semaglutide a potential game changer for those who prefer pills over injections, especially since the pill shows a safety profile similar to the injectable form. Dr. Sean Wharton, who led the recent clinical trial, explained that this oral option could greatly expand the number of people willing to try GLP-1 treatments for obesity.Following closely behind is orforglipron, a new GLP-1 pill developed by Eli Lilly. Fox News reports that in a recent clinical trial, participants taking the highest dose of orforglipron lost an average of more than twenty-seven pounds after a year and a half. Nearly sixty percent of those participants lost ten percent of their body weight, while just under forty percent lost at least fifteen percent. What is even more hopeful, according to the study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, is that those with pre-diabetes saw a sharp improvement in blood sugar levels, suggesting broad metabolic benefits. While the results are compelling, experts note that injectables like Ozempic still deliver slightly more dramatic results, yet many patients may prefer the convenience and ease of a pill.On a different front, research from The Cleveland Clinic has revealed that genetics may influence just how well Ozempic or similar drugs work for you. According to their study, a gene known as Neurobeachin appears to help determine how much weight a person might lose with GLP-1 medications. People with a responsive version of the gene were eighty-two percent more likely to have significant weight loss, while those with a non-responsive score were actually less likely to lose weight. Dr. Daniel Rotroff from the Cleveland Clinic suggests that in the near future, doctors could combine genetic testing with lifestyle and personal factors to tailor obesity treatment, making these therapies even more effective and personalized.Let us not forget the reason why Ozempic was developed in the first place. Originally designed and approved to help manage type two diabetes, Ozempic as well as its higher-dose sibling Wegovy, are now also used for chronic weight management. Both are part of a class called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1s. These medications work by stimulating insulin production and helping the body manage appetite and digestion, leading to weight loss as a beneficial side effect. According to information from the Lawsuit Information Center, Ozempic is still mainly prescribed as a once-weekly injection, but with oral versions nearing approval, that could soon change.New treatments often come with questions about safety. According to the United States Food and Drug Administration, there has been increased concern about unapproved compounded versions of these GLP-1 drugs, which have been linked to hundreds of adverse event reports. This highlights the importance of using only medications that are properly prescribed and approved, as safety must always come first.Finally, there are ongoing investigations into rare but serious side effects, such as a risk of vision loss, and digestive issues like gastroparesis linked to GLP-1 drugs including Ozempic. For most people, side effects tend to be mild and include nausea and digestive discomfort, but it is crucial to talk to your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits as this new generation of weight loss options emerges.That wraps up our update on Ozempic and the evolving world of GLP-1 weight loss therapies.

Energy expenditure is one of the most fundamental yet often misunderstood aspects of human physiology. A central question is whether there is a ceiling to how many calories we can burn, and what happens when activity levels approach that limit. Grasping these dynamics is essential for health professionals and researchers, as energy balance directly influences body weight regulation, metabolic health, and athletic performance. Emerging research shows that our bodies regulate calorie burn not in a fixed manner, but through adaptation and compensation, revealing that the “calories in vs. calories out” model is far more dynamic than it may first appear. In this episode, we revisit key insights from experts such as Dr. Herman Pontzer, Dr. Brent Ruby, Dr. Mark Hopkins, Dr. Eric Trexler, and Dr. Chris Melby. These perspectives cover how the body adapts to different levels of physical activity, the metabolic adjustments during weight loss (often called adaptive thermogenesis), and the concept of energy flux in weight maintenance.

Welcome back to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the podcast where we dive into the latest news and analysis about one of the most talked-about treatments for weight loss and metabolic health.Let us jump right in with some breaking research. According to The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology, new clinical trial data shows that a triple-dose of Ozempic, meaning 7.2 milligrams weekly, resulted in almost nineteen percent average weight loss in adults without diabetes. That is a substantial jump compared to the sixteen percent with the standard 2.4 milligram dose, and only around four percent with a placebo. Nearly half of those on the higher dose lost at least twenty percent of their body weight, and a third saw weight reductions of twenty-five percent or more. Even among adults with type 2 diabetes, the higher dose achieved thirteen percent weight loss, compared to ten percent with the lower dose. Waistlines, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol all improved on the higher dose. Safety remained solid, with the most common side effects being manageable nausea and diarrhea that usually settled down over time. Importantly, there was no increase in serious adverse events.Now, for lifestyle impacts and long-term use. A population-wide study presented at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes reports that half of people who start Ozempic for weight loss stop taking it within a year. Cost is a major factor, with the lowest dose costing around two thousand Euros a year in some areas. Younger adults and people from lower income neighborhoods were far more likely to discontinue, likely due to financial barriers. Adverse effects like nausea, and pre-existing conditions, played a role as well. The study found that men were more likely to stop early than women, and adherence was especially hard for those with a history of psychiatric conditions or chronic illness. That is concerning, since people with these conditions often need the benefits the most. Once people stop the medication, weight is often regained, showing just how important it is to find sustainable approaches to weight management.On the topic of who benefits most, a study in Frontiers in Clinical Diabetes and Healthcare highlighted that emotional eating can reduce the effectiveness of Ozempic. The medication is best for people who overeat due to external cues like the smell or appearance of food, rather than for those who eat in response to boredom, anxiety, or sadness. Health experts now recommend that healthcare providers assess a person's relationship with food before prescribing Ozempic or its counterparts. If emotional eating is a primary issue, psychological support may be necessary alongside medication.For those worried about cardiovascular risks, the REACH study presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes confirmed that Ozempic stands out for reducing cardiovascular risk, even among those with multiple chronic conditions. Large-scale, real-world data reinforce its value, particularly in older populations who often have comorbidities like heart disease.Let us also touch on a warning that has emerged: rapid weight loss with medications like Ozempic can cause muscle loss, particularly in women and older adults. While the fat loses fast, it is essential to protect muscle mass with diet and exercise. Experts stress that lifestyle habits—good nutrition, adequate sleep, and physical activity—remain crucial for long-term results, even when taking medication.To sum up, Ozempic continues to make headlines for its effectiveness, but sticking with the medication is a challenge for many due to cost, side effects, and complex eating habits. Emotional and physical health both need to be addressed for the best outcomes. As always, open discussion with healthcare professionals about individual goals, potential barriers, and long-term maintenance is vital.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, your source for the latest news, research, and insights on Ozempic and its impact on weight loss, health, and lifestyle.If you are following updates on Ozempic, recent international studies are shedding a spotlight on why so many are both drawn to and dropping away from this buzzy medication. According to reports from HealthDay and Drugs.com, about half of the adults who start Ozempic for weight loss end up quitting within just one year. For context, a study out of Denmark tracked more than seventy-seven thousand new Ozempic users and found that fifty-two percent gave it up before the year's end. These findings were presented at this year's European Association for the Study of Diabetes meeting in Vienna.So, why are so many discontinuing Ozempic? One major reason is cost. In Denmark, the lowest possible annual dose is over two thousand euros. In the United States, prices can jump to more than one thousand four hundred dollars monthly if uninsured. People in lower-income areas were nearly fifteen percent more likely to quit early. For many, the price tag is simply not sustainable long-term.Side effects are another factor. Drugs.com highlights that those with gastrointestinal conditions, chronic illnesses, or who are taking psychiatric medication are more likely to stop using Ozempic. The Danish study found that people with existing GI issues were nine percent more likely to quit, and those with heart disease or other chronic conditions were ten percent more likely to stop. Furthermore, common side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea disproportionately drive users to discontinue.Age and gender play a role too. Younger adults were forty-eight percent more likely to stop Ozempic within the first year compared to older users. Men had a twelve percent greater likelihood than women to quit. The study authors note that women tend to see slightly better weight loss results, which might help motivate their continued use.One important medical application is for people living with diabetes. Originally, Ozempic and similar drugs were developed to help manage blood sugar. However, they've gained popularity strictly for weight loss, and over ninety percent of new prescriptions in some studies are written for those without diabetes.Another recent clinical trial, reported by TheJournal.ie, looked at bumping up the standard dose to see if results improve. By tripling the weekly dosage to seven-point-two milligrams, nearly half of trial participants lost at least twenty percent of their body weight. But remember, higher doses may also lead to more side effects and costs.For younger women who are considering Ozempic, caution is warranted. According to researchers at Flinders University, there are hidden reproductive risks for women in their childbearing years. The Medical Journal of Australia reports that most women prescribed Ozempic are not using effective contraception, even though these medications can pose risks during pregnancy and fetal development. Only twenty-one percent of women on Ozempic were using contraception in one large study of more than one-point-six million general practice records. Notably, women with polycystic ovary syndrome were twice as likely to conceive after starting Ozempic, possibly because weight loss can improve fertility. Lead researcher Associate Professor Luke Grzeskowiak states the need for proper counseling on reproductive risks for women starting these drugs.A final point from ScienceDaily is that stopping Ozempic often leads to regaining weight. Because the drug works by curbing appetite and promoting the feeling of fullness, these benefits disappear once you stop. For most, it is not a quick fix but a long-term commitment.As awareness rises, so does the number of questions around cost, access, side effect management, and the balance of risks and benefits. Whether you are considering Ozempic, currently taking it, or simply curious about its role in the future of weight management, keeping up with peer-reviewed research and evolving guidelines from health agencies is crucial.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Demand for weight management supplements is on the rise, with the global market size estimated at over 33 billion currently and projected to reach over 71 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. The demand for natural and clinically-backed weight management supplements is largely driven by increasing obesity rates, growing health and wellness awareness and the demand for effective solutions.

What if the reason you're struggling with low energy, stubborn weight, or digestive issues isn't about willpower — but your Metabolic Type? In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, I sit down with Martin Pytela, functional medicine expert and metabolic typing coach, to explore how your unique biology shapes the foods, supplements, and lifestyle choices that actually work for you. We each inherit strengths and weaknesses in three key systems: ✅ Autonomic Nervous System – Are you sympathetic dominant (anxious, wired, stuck in fight-or-flight) or parasympathetic dominant (burned out, chronically fatigued)? ✅ Oxidation Rate – Is your metabolism burning fuel fast or slow? (Think paper vs. logs on a campfire!) ✅ Endocrine System – Thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, and ovarian dominance all shape your body type, hormone balance & weight patterns. When you understand which system dominates — and which needs support — you can use personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies to restore balance, energy, and vitality. ✨ In this conversation, you'll discover: The power of biological individuality in nutrition Why pH balance is crucial for overall health How endocrine dominance shapes weight, metabolism & hormones The role of stress, detoxification, movement & emotional healing in restoring health Why personalized nutrition is the fastest path to consistent energy and resilience Martin's story is inspiring — after healing himself from mercury toxicity, he's helped over 12,000 clients uncover the hidden causes of their health struggles. His message is clear: true healing is possible, even for long-standing conditions.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the show that brings listeners the latest on one of the most talked-about medications bringing hope and change to weight management.In 2025, Ozempic continues to stand out for its effectiveness in supporting significant weight loss. According to recent clinical trials referenced by the Journal of Obesity, most users can expect reductions of about twelve to fifteen percent of their body weight in one year if used as prescribed. Some real-world stories report even more dramatic results, such as individuals losing up to fifty pounds in just six months, along with a noticeable reduction in appetite and cravings.Ozempic, whose active ingredient is semaglutide, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. What this means, as Harvard researchers explain, is that it mimics a hormone in your gut to slow digestion, increase feelings of fullness, and reduce appetite—making it easier for people to eat smaller portions and stick with healthier choices. These hormonal changes help reset the body's metabolic “fuel gauge,” so you get both improved blood sugar control and long-term appetite suppression.The power of Ozempic is not just about the number on the scale. There are notable health benefits beyond weight loss. For those with type two diabetes, using Ozempic lowers the risk of major heart events, including heart attack and stroke. Even people who do not have diabetes may see better blood pressure and improved mobility when combining Ozempic with a healthy lifestyle.But there are challenges every listener should be aware of. Many experts, including those from Harvard School of Public Health, stress the importance of pairing Ozempic with a well-balanced diet and regular exercise. This is because some people can experience muscle loss or gastrointestinal discomfort, including nausea, when using this medication. They recommend sufficient protein intake, smaller more frequent meals, and both aerobic and strength activities to get the most out of any GLP-1 based weight-loss medication.Another important update is that while the effects during active treatment are impressive, many people experience weight regain after stopping Ozempic. About twenty to forty percent of users discontinue the medication within the first year, often due to side effects like nausea or insurance coverage issues. In real-world data, people not staying on the drug or receiving lower maintenance doses tend to lose less weight than those in clinical trials.This year, there are also new developments: researchers at Tufts University have announced a next-generation compound that targets an additional hormonal pathway involved in appetite and glucose regulation. Early reports suggest that future medications could deliver even more robust results with fewer side effects than current options, potentially changing the conversation around long-term obesity management. Still, Ozempic remains a leading choice, especially as coverage improves and the drug comes off recent shortage lists.Listeners should also be aware of emerging side effects. Gastrointestinal upset remains most common, but new studies are exploring links to mood changes and nutrient deficiencies, particularly in people on long-term therapy. Health providers recommend ongoing monitoring and open conversations about any concerning symptoms.If you are thinking about starting Ozempic or switching therapies, it is crucial to have discussions with your clinician about realistic expectations, safety, and how lifestyle changes can supercharge results. Every person's journey is individual, and the best results come from consistent, medically supervised use, combined with healthy eating and physical activity.Thanks for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Welcome back to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the source for the latest news and research about Ozempic and its impact on weight loss, health, and modern living. Today, we are diving into what is happening right now in the world of Ozempic, from how it works to the lifestyle changes it brings and the newest headlines surrounding this medication.Ozempic was originally developed as a treatment for type two diabetes but quickly gained widespread attention when studies showed it could help people lose an average of ten to fifteen percent of their body weight over six to twelve months. According to clinical trials and real-world testimonies, people using Ozempic are experiencing steady, sustainable weight loss, often seeing a reduction of one to three pounds per week when the medication is combined with healthy eating and regular activity.The science behind Ozempic involves its active ingredient, semaglutide, which mimics a gut hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1. This hormone helps regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, reduce appetite, and make you feel fuller after meals. The result: people naturally eat less without feeling deprived. According to Harvard School of Public Health, the success of Ozempic is not just about the medicine itself but also depends on diet and exercise. Experts emphasize that to make the most of the benefits, Ozempic users should focus on balanced eating, enough protein, regular movement, and strength training, which help preserve muscle mass and maintain long-term results.For those wondering about side effects, gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea or constipation are the most common, especially in the first few weeks. These often improve over time but are a reminder that proper nutrition and hydration are essential. Some people also report loss of muscle if protein intake and exercise are neglected, so working closely with your healthcare provider to monitor your health and adapt your plan is key.Ozempic is often compared to Wegovy. Both contain the same active ingredient, semaglutide, but while Ozempic is typically prescribed for diabetes and used off-label for weight loss, Wegovy is FDA-approved specifically for obesity and weight management. There is a broader landscape too, with medications like Zepbound, also known as tirzepatide, delivering even larger average weight loss in some studies—up to twenty percent or more of total body weight. As new options arrive, the market for weight loss solutions is changing rapidly, giving patients and doctors more choices than ever.Perhaps most interestingly, the benefits of Ozempic reach beyond just weight or diabetes. Cutting-edge research reported by Henry Ford Health suggests that medications like Ozempic may help curb addictive behaviors, including cravings for alcohol or other substances. While the research is in early stages, the idea that a medication for diabetes and obesity could help treat addiction is an unexpected but promising development we'll be following closely.A frequent question is what happens after stopping Ozempic. Research published in the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism shows that people often regain up to two-thirds of the weight they lost when the medication is discontinued, and benefits to blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammation also tend to fade. This rebound effect is why ongoing lifestyle habits—like healthy eating and consistent movement—remain crucial for lasting results.Finally, inspiring personal stories continue to emerge. From people losing fifty pounds in just six months, to testimonies of reduced cravings, better energy, improved sleep, and renewed confidence, the lifestyle changes go far beyond the scale.As always, Ozempic is not magic. Its power comes when combined with strong support, healthy habits, and medical supervision. But as 2025 unfolds, Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications are opening doors for millions of people seeking safer, more effective ways to achieve lasting health.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

On episode 706 of the 40+ Fitness, we're diving deep into the world of GLP-1 agonist medications—those buzzy drugs you've likely seen in the headlines helping people tackle obesity and type 2 diabetes. Joining Coach Allan is David Knapp, a leading voice in the GLP-1 community and author of Decoding GLP1: A Guide for Friends and Family of Those on the Pen. David opens up about his own weight loss journey, struggles with type 2 diabetes, and why traditional "eat less, move more" advice often isn't enough. He demystifies the science behind GLP-1 medications, shares the fascinating history of their development (think lizard venom, not snake oils!), and breaks down the latest options and future innovations in this rapidly evolving space. Whether you're considering these medications, supporting a loved one who is, or just curious about the hype, this episode will give you clear, compassionate, and evidence-backed insights. Plus, you'll hear candid discussions about stigma, navigating the world of compounded versus branded medications, and practical advice on achieving lasting wellness—no matter where you're starting from.

If you're frustrated by weight gain, depleted energy, or feel like your metabolism suddenly hit a wall, you're not alone—especially if you're navigating the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause or menopause. In this empowering episode, health journalist Natalie Tysdal is joined by Stephanie Crassweller, international speaker, master's-level nutrition coach, and host of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast. Together, they dive into the not-so-obvious drivers behind women's metabolism in midlife—and what you can actually do about them. Expect practical strategies, compassionate insight, and the truth about why “eat less, move more” simply isn't the answer for women in this season of life. Learn how to work with your shifting hormones and stress response—not against them—to support sustainable energy, metabolism, and well-being. 3 Key Takeaways from This Episode Stress is the Unsung Metabolism Saboteur Chronic stress and elevated cortisol disrupt everything from sleep and gut health to thyroid function, making it harder to burn fat and easier to gain weight. Recognizing and managing stress is essential to healing your metabolism. Eating Less Isn't Always Better Undereating and inconsistent fueling push your body into fight-or-flight mode, increasing inflammation and triggering metabolic slowdown. For many women, doing less with more intention works better than pushing harder. Hormones Change the Metabolic Game As estrogen and progesterone decline, the body loses its built-in stress protection, exposing hidden issues with blood sugar, thyroid, and inflammation. Understanding your hormonal landscape helps you make changes that work for your unique body. In This Conversation, We Cover   Why traditional weight loss approaches often backfire after age 35   The hidden impact of under-eating and why breakfast matters   Simple first steps for women overwhelmed by nutrition “rules”   The difference between male and female metabolism   How routines, meal prep, and smart shortcuts support success   What Dutch testing is and when to consider hormone labs   Why sustainable food swaps and real-life habits matter more than perfection More About This Episode Stephanie Crassweller brings decades of experience in women's health, holding a master's degree and certifications in nutrition coaching, functional health, personal training, and exercise therapy. In this episode, she explains how stress, sleep, under-fueling, and hormone shifts affect metabolism, especially in perimenopause and menopause. She and Natalie discuss how even “healthy” processed foods and common dieting advice can work against women's health goals. Instead, they share how to simplify nutrition, embrace whole foods, support hormone balance, and develop easy habits that reduce stress and increase energy. This is a must-listen if you've ever wondered why your body feels different as you age—or if you've felt frustrated watching men lose weight faster with less effort. You'll walk away with real-world strategies to help your body work for you, not against you. Subscribe for More New episodes every Monday.

Episode 3015: Nancy Clark breaks down the hidden impact of ultra-processed foods on weight and health, revealing how even calorie-matched meals can lead to different outcomes based on food quality. Learn why whole, minimally processed foods may not only help you feel fuller but could also support long-term weight management more effectively than their convenient, ultra-processed counterparts. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nancyclarkrd.com/2019/11/13/quality-calories-for-weight-management/ Quotes to ponder: "Ultra-processed foods commonly have added flavors, sugars, fats, preservatives and ingredients that you are unlikely to have stocked in your pantry." "When the subjects ate from the ultra-processed buffet, they consumed about 500 calories above their baseline intake and they gained about 2 pounds in two weeks." "Processing changes the food structure (matrix), and this impacts satiety, the feeling of fullness that persists after eating."
