Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, your source for the latest insights on Ozempic—from medical updates to its real-world impact on health and lifestyle.Ozempic, also known as semaglutide, was originally designed to help manage type 2 diabetes, but it has quickly become a leading medication for weight loss. Clinical studies highlighted by Medical News Today and Drugs.com have shown that people using Ozempic can lose between 10 and 17 percent of their body weight over about 68 weeks, with results varying based on dosage and individual response. Some individuals have reported losing as much as 30 pounds in just six months, while also seeing significant improvements in blood sugar levels, such as A1C reductions from 8.5 to 6.2, according to user reviews.But what sets Ozempic apart from other medications like metformin? While both can have modest effects on body weight, Ozempic generally leads to more substantial results. According to Drugs.com, participants in trials with Ozempic and lifestyle changes lost an average of nearly 15 to 17 percent of their weight, far exceeding the modest results commonly seen with metformin.The mechanism is fascinating—Ozempic works by imitating a hormone called GLP-1, reducing appetite and slowing digestion. Yet with such rapid and notable weight loss comes important questions about long-term health. A new study from the University of Virginia, as reported by Science Daily, warns that while GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic deliver dramatic fat loss, they do not appear to improve crucial measures of cardiorespiratory fitness. Moreover, muscle loss is a real concern. Researchers have documented reductions in lean mass when using Ozempic for substantial weight loss, which could impact strength, posture, and even risk of heart problems. To counter this, doctors increasingly recommend combining Ozempic with exercise and a protein-rich diet to help maintain muscle and overall health.With these dramatic results, it's not surprising that Ozempic and similar GLP-1 drugs are making waves far outside strictly medical circles. Weight loss clinics nationwide are rethinking their programs to include these medications, as South County Medspa and Wellness notes, allowing many patients to expect a 10 to 15 percent reduction in body weight over several months. However, these treatments do not come cheap—monthly costs can reach several hundred dollars, leading to high rates of discontinuation as users stop due to expense or side effects, which can include nausea and digestive issues.And what happens if you stop Ozempic? As Professor Patricia Brubaker explains for McGill University, stopping the medication often results in some weight regain—a typical rebound of about 12 percent of what was lost—but most people still hold on to some of their original weight loss a year later. It's not quite the dreaded "yo-yo" effect, but it does highlight the importance of ongoing therapy or lifestyle modification for lasting results.In the realm of new developments, tirzepatide, branded as Zepbound, stands out as the only FDA-approved medication demonstrating even greater weight loss, with some participants losing up to 22 percent of their body weight. Meanwhile, the rise of so-called GLP-1 supplements online is causing concern among Harvard experts. According to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, these over-the-counter products are not regulated or proven effective, so listeners should approach them with skepticism.As the science evolves and new studies emerge almost weekly, there is a growing recognition among experts: medications like Ozempic can be powerful tools for weight loss, but to truly unlock healthier living, they should be paired with exercise, nutrition, and long-term, individualized care.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

When it comes to weight loss, the scale isn't the only thing that changes—your reflection and self-image often transform too. In this episode, I talk about a topic gaining attention in the media and social circles: "Ozempic face" and the emotional and physical effects of rapid weight loss, especially for those using GLP-1 medications like Wegovy, Zepbound, or Ozempic. I share a story about a friend who hesitated to increase her dosage due to concerns about skin changes, which opened the door to a larger discussion on body image during weight loss. I explain that these facial and skin changes—such as sagging, wrinkles, or looking more tired—aren't exclusive to medication use but are common with any significant weight loss, especially as we age. Furthermore, I walk through ways to manage these concerns, like slowing down weight loss, prioritizing resistance training and protein, staying hydrated, considering aesthetic treatments, and most importantly, shifting focus from appearance to overall health. I emphasize the importance of support, tuning out unsolicited comments, and curating a healthier social media feed. If you're navigating weight loss and struggling with body image changes like "Ozempic face," listen to this empowering episode for real talk, expert tips, and compassionate support on your journey.

It's no exaggeration to say that the past decade has revolutionized how we think about and treat obesity. Drugs like semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound) have dominated headlines, enabling significant weight loss at speeds once considered unthinkable. The market for innovative weight loss medications is booming, with pharmaceutical companies investing heavily in hopes of developing the next blockbuster drug.However, amid this race for market dominance, many experts are questioning whether the amount of weight loss alone is the best measure of these drugs' usefulness. How can the next generation of obesity treatments meaningfully improve upon the powerful options already available?Joining The Lancet editors Callam Davidson and Miriam Sabin to discuss this question is Professor Steven Heymsfield from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center. This wide-ranging conversation covers exciting pharmaceutical advances and limitations of these treatments, including the significant disparities in access, and why these breakthroughs may have broader societal implications.Send us your feedback!Read all of our content at https://www.thelancet.com/?dgcid=buzzsprout_tlv_podcast_generic_lancetCheck out all the podcasts from The Lancet Group:https://www.thelancet.com/multimedia/podcasts?dgcid=buzzsprout_tlv_podcast_generic_lancetContinue this conversation on social!Follow us today at...https://thelancet.bsky.social/https://instagram.com/thelancetgrouphttps://facebook.com/thelancetmedicaljournalhttps://linkedIn.com/company/the-lancethttps://youtube.com/thelancettv

TikTok claims to have banned “SkinnyTok,” but disordered eating content continues to thrive under rebranded hashtags, edited images, and wellness culture language. In this eye-opening episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, Dr. Marianne Miller is joined by eating disorder prevention advocate and educator Jen Tomei (@askjenup) to unpack the rise of SkinnyTok and its harmful influence on teens and adults alike. Jen, founder of the Jenup Community in the UK, shares firsthand experiences of discovering disturbing content on TikTok—even after reporting and flagging videos, the algorithm continued pushing them. Together, she and Dr. Marianne draw chilling parallels to the pro-ana forums of the early 2000s, and explore how new forms of tech—including AI-edited bodies—are further distorting body image online. They also examine how neurodivergent teens, who are often more vulnerable to extreme thinking and sensory overload, may be especially impacted by these trends. Plus, they critique the rise of weight loss drugs like Ozempic and their potential to normalize restriction—even in pediatric settings. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: Why SkinnyTok still exists despite being technically banned How TikTok's algorithm can push disordered content—even without user interaction What “pro-ana” and “thinspo” culture looks like in 2025 The physiological damage caused by overexercise and undereating How social media is shaping disordered eating culture in schools globally The link between ADHD, cortisol, and disordered eating behaviors How weight loss drugs like Ozempic may impact teens' mental and physical health Why media literacy and early intervention in schools are urgently needed CONTENT CAUTIONS: This episode includes discussion of disordered eating, anorexia, pro-eating disorder content, social media harm, and weight loss medications including Ozempic and Zepbound. MEET OUR GUEST: Jen Tomei is the founder of Jenup.com, a UK-based organization providing school workshops on eating disorder prevention, body image, and self-esteem. A survivor of an eating disorder and a late-diagnosed ADHD adult, Jen brings both lived experience and professional insight into the complex intersection of neurodivergence, mental health, and diet culture.
With the recent approval and arrival of Zepbound in B.C this week - a powerful rival to Ozempic, and generics potentially right around the corner, it's part of a growing movement that's changing how we treat obesity as a chronic disease, and not a lifestyle failure.

Irresistible You: Lose the Emotional Weight | Body Image | Confidence | Weight Loss
In this episode of the Irresistible You podcast, we're diving into what it means to embrace your cozy or “soft life” era, without the guilt. I used to think that doing cozy things like diamond painting or relaxing at home was lazy… or worse, that stillness would lead to weight gain. I thought if it didn't make money or burn calories, it was a waste of time. But now I know better.I'm sharing how I've started doing things that pull me rather than constantly pushing myself and how that shift has helped me stop emotional eating, feel more grounded, and finally listen to my body. Cozy isn't laziness, it's restoration.If you've ever felt stuck between hustle culture and burnout, this episode is for you.
What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! This week on the Unveiling the Beast podcast, I sat down with Katie Sorensen, a nurse practitioner and owner of Weight Loss NP, to dig into one of the most misunderstood topics on the internet right now: GLP-1 medications. You know, the ones people love to hate, like Ozempic and ZepBound. As someone who's been waist-deep in the research for months (because yes, that's what us nerdy, weight-neutral coaches do), I wanted to bring nuance and facts into a conversation that's gotten way too loud and way too shallow. Katie broke down what these meds actually are, how they work with your body (not against it), and why calling them “the easy way out” is just lazy and harmful. Spoiler: they've been around for decades, are made of naturally occurring peptides, and they're doing a hell of a lot more than shrinking waistlines.We also talked about the emotional weight behind physical weight, the ridiculous judgment people face for using science to support their health, and how these meds are turning down the obsessive food noise that steals so much brain space. Katie and I are both on the same page: it's not about glorifying weight loss. It's about freeing people to focus on what actually matters in life. We covered everything from muscle preservation to mental health to why strength training is the real anti-aging hack. And if you've ever looked at someone using a weekly injection and thought, “Must be nice,” this episode will shift your perspective. As always, we ended with some wisdom, and Katie's was simple and powerful: get outside, soak in the sunshine, and walk. Because sometimes, the best medicine is free and found in the fresh air.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Katie Sorensen, NP-C, is a passionate Nurse Practitioner dedicated to transforming lives through her innovative and holistically focused practice, Weight Loss NP, LLC.

Did you know that stopping GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy can trigger powerful biological and emotional changes that impact your weight journey? In this episode, I talk about what happens when you stop taking a GLP-1 medication, like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound. I explain how these medications work by slowing stomach emptying, reducing appetite, and helping with insulin regulation, which supports weight loss and benefits conditions like type 2 diabetes and PCOS. However, I also share that they're not magic pills, you still need healthy habits like eating well and exercising. I highlight possible side effects, such as nausea or pancreatitis risks, and emphasize that stopping these medications can lead to increased hunger, cravings, weight regain, and even emotional distress. But I also reassure you that this isn't a sign of failure. Weight regain is often biological, not personal. I offer tips for tapering off safely, reinforcing lifestyle habits, and exploring other options. Most importantly, I remind you that your journey is valid, you're not alone, and lasting success requires a plan, support, and self-compassion. Tune in to learn what really happens when you stop taking GLP-1 medications—and how to stay empowered and in control of your weight journey.

Ozempic continues to dominate conversations about weight loss, drawing attention from both the medical community and celebrity circles over the past week. This injectable medication, originally designed to manage type two diabetes, has increasingly become known for its ability to help people shed pounds. According to information from Northwestern University published just yesterday, users of Ozempic typically see a gradual but significant reduction in body weight, with clinical trials showing average losses of ten to fifteen percent over the course of a year. For most, the medication begins to make a noticeable difference after about six to eight weeks, particularly when combined with improved diet and regular exercise. However, experts are quick to caution that Ozempic is not a magic solution; sustainable weight loss still relies on lifestyle changes such as healthy eating and physical activity.In the last week, the public conversation around Ozempic has taken on new dimensions. One of the most visible aspects is its popularity among celebrities. According to coverage in the Financial Express from July seventh, high-profile users like Oprah Winfrey, Sharon Osbourne, Whoopi Goldberg, and Rebel Wilson have shared their experiences with Ozempic. Their stories have contributed to the drug's reputation as Hollywood's preferred method for rapid, dramatic weight reduction. However, this visibility has also drawn attention to some unexpected consequences. Dermatologists report an uptick in people experiencing what is now being called Ozempic mouth, a condition marked by significant volume loss and increased wrinkles around the mouth and jawline, which can result in an aged appearance. The rapid loss of facial fat has caused some to seek cosmetic treatments like dermal fillers or skin-tightening procedures to counteract these effects.Oprah Winfrey has been especially vocal and candid about her Ozempic journey in the past week. Reports from Deaconess Health and SheFinds note that Oprah has discussed the medication's role in her recent forty-pound weight loss, which she has attributed to Ozempic, healthy eating, and consistent exercise. During her recent trip to Venice for a celebrity wedding, Winfrey was photographed sporting a noticeably slimmer physique while working out with Gayle King. Fans on social media praised her transformation, and Winfrey herself has emphasized the importance of pairing any medication with dedication to overall well-being. Furthermore, Oprah recently hosted a "State of Weight" panel as part of her ongoing efforts to foster open discussion about weight loss, the struggles involved, and the tools that can help.While Ozempic maintains its position as a popular weight loss solution, new research published in The New England Journal of Medicine and reported by both HealthDay and AOL this week has challenged its supremacy. The study found that another medication, tirzepatide sold under the names Mounjaro and Zepbound, is even more effective at promoting weight loss. Participants taking tirzepatide averaged a twenty percent reduction in body weight, while those on Ozempic averaged about thirteen percent. Experts note that tirzepatide works on two hormone receptors instead of one, which seems to explain its stronger effect. Despite these new findings, Ozempic's influence remains powerful because of its proven track record and cultural prominence.Still, significant safety concerns persist regarding Ozempic's use for weight loss. The Motley Rice law firm and other health sources have reported ongoing lawsuits related to serious side effects, including gastrointestinal issues and, in rare cases, vision loss. Moreover, many patients regain much of the weight they lost if they discontinue the medication, pointing to the need for ongoing management and support rather than quick fixes.In summary, the past week has seen Ozempic's celebrity power and medical potential both celebrated and scrutinized. Oprah Winfrey's openness continues to resonate with many, highlighting that while medications like Ozempic can be helpful tools, the broader journey of weight management demands a holistic approach. The emergence of alternatives such as tirzepatide may shift the landscape, but one message remains clear from experts and high-profile users alike: sustainable weight loss requires lasting lifestyle change, not just a prescription.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

Results often depend on how these drugs are used, the lifestyle habits that support them, and individual factors like metabolism, other health conditions, and how well the body tolerates treatment.That's why it's important to rethink what “success” really means. For many, losing just 5% to 10% of body weight can make a huge difference, improving blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol enough to lower the risk of serious health issues—even if the scale doesn't land exactly where they hoped.In this episode, we'll cover:What success really looks like on Wegovy or ZepboundWhy type 2 diabetes makes weight loss harder, even with GLP-1sHow alcohol use is one of the top reasons people don't see expected resultsThe role of habit snacking and how it can stall progressWhat to do when side effects get in the wayWhen these medications alone aren't enoughAnd what to explore if nothing seems to be workingHit play to find out the top reasons people fall short on Wegovy or Zepbound, how to spot them, and what might finally help you see progress.Connect with me:Instagram: doctorfrancavillaFacebook: Help Your Patients Lose Weight with Dr. FrancavillaWebsite: Dr. Francavilla ShowYoutube: The Doctor Francavilla ShowGLP Strong: glpstrong.co

You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going. Today we're diving into a topic that's been everywhere lately: GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide for weight loss. You may know them by names like Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound. I want to give you a clear, realistic picture of what to expect—because while the media loves to highlight the dramatic before-and-after photos, the real journey can be slower and more nuanced for some. So in this episode, we're going to talk about the truth—what these medications can do, what they can't, how long things really take, and what you need to know to set yourself up for success. Not hype, not magic promises—just real, honest insight to help you understand the process. Let's get into it. How GLP-1 & GIP/GLP-1 Agonists Work So first things first—how do these meds work? Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, and tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Basically, they mimic natural hormones in your body that help regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and—most importantly for weight loss—reduce appetite and improve satiety. That means you feel fuller faster and stay full longer. You're not obsessing over food like before. And that's powerful. But—and this is a big one— these peptides don't magically erase years of weight gain overnight. What they do is help make weight loss easier by reducing hunger and supporting your metabolism—but they don't do all the work for you. It's important to remember they're a powerful tool, not a replacement for your efforts. You're still in control of your choices, habits, and long-term success. Why We Titrate the Dose—and What "Therapeutic Dose" Means Now, let's talk about dosing. When you start Wegovy, you don't start at the highest dose. It's gradually increased over several weeks to give your body time to adjust and to help reduce side effects like nausea or stomach upset. The usual schedule looks like this: You'll start with 0.25 mg once a week for the first month. Then it increases every four weeks—0.5 mg, then 1 mg, then 1.7 mg. By week 17, most people reach the full dose of 2.4 mg once a week—that's the dose shown in studies to lead to the most consistent weight loss, with many people losing around 15% of their total body weight over about a year. But here's the thing—not everyone follows this path exactly, and that's okay. Some people need to slow down or stay longer at a lower dose if they're having side effects. Others may need to increase sooner if they're not seeing appetite changes and are tolerating the medication well. And even though 2.4 mg is considered the “therapeutic dose,” not everyone needs to reach it. Some people feel great and lose weight at a lower dose—and if that's you, that's your sweet spot. The real goal is to find the lowest effective dose that controls your hunger, helps you lose weight at a steady pace, and keeps side effects to a minimum. This isn't a one-size-fits-all journey, and pushing through side effects just to hit the max dose isn't necessary—or safe. Your best dose is the one your body handles well and helps you make progress. *How Much Weight Can You Expect to Lose—and How Fast? Let's take a look at the clinical studies. In large trials, people on semaglutide lost about 15% of their total body weight over 68 weeks. For tirzepatide, it was even higher—20% or more in some cases. But here's the thing—those results happened over a year to a year and a half. Not 6 weeks. Not 3 months. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Also, most of the weight loss doesn't happen during the titration phase. You may see some weight loss early on, especially if your appetite plummets. But the bulk of the weight loss happens once you reach and maintain your therapeutic dose. Why Everyone's Journey Looks Different I can't stress this enough—everybody's journey is different. Some people feel zero hunger from their very first injection. Others don't notice a big change until week 10 or 12. Some drop 10 pounds in the first month. Others lose two pounds and feel discouraged. All of those experiences are normal. Your age, hormones, medications, stress levels, sleep, and past diet history? They all play a role. And let's be real—gaining 20, 50, or 100 pounds didn't happen in a few weeks, right? It likely took months or even years of lifestyle habits, hormonal shifts, emotional eating, or underlying conditions. So we have to give ourselves that same grace and patience when we're trying to take the weight off—even with medical support. Navigating Side Effects and Setbacks Let's talk about the side effects. Nausea, constipation, acid reflux, bloating—yeah, these are pretty common as your body adjusts. And sometimes, those symptoms are your body's way of saying: Hey, slow down. Pushing through intense side effects just to hit a higher dose isn't the goal. In fact, it's not safe. You want the lowest effective dose that keeps your appetite under control, the weight coming off gradually, and your side effects minimal or nonexistent. If you need to pause treatment to let your gut settle or even go back down a dose, that's not failure. That's smart, safe self-care. We're in this for the long haul. Trial and Error with Food—and That's OK One part of this journey that catches people off guard is how sensitive your stomach becomes—especially to certain foods or drinks. Greasy or fried foods, spicy meals, carbonated drinks, alcohol—these can all be triggers for nausea or even vomiting while you're on this medication. And it makes sense when you think about it: the medication slows down how quickly food and drink leave your stomach. So if you're eating or drinking things that already tend to irritate the stomach lining, the effects can hit harder and last longer. Even if those foods didn't bother you before starting treatment, they might now. It's just one of those things your body has to adjust to, and it may take some trial and error to figure out what still works for you. What is Healthy, Sustainable Weight Loss? So what's a healthy pace of weight loss? In general, 1 to 2 pounds per week is considered safe and sustainable. But on GLP-1s, that might vary. Some weeks you may lose 3 pounds. Some weeks, nothing. And guess what? That's normal. You're looking for overall downward trends, not perfection. The goal here is steady, sustainable fat loss—not dropping weight so quickly that you feel miserable, drained, or start losing muscle. Remember, we're not chasing “skinny”—we're aiming for strong, lean, energized, and healthy. And I know we've talked about this before, but it's worth repeating: exercise is not optional when you're on a GLP-1. It's a must. When you lose weight, you lose both fat and muscle. If you're not actively working to maintain or build muscle, you risk becoming weaker and slowing down your metabolism in the process. We want to keep the muscle you have—and ideally, build more—so your body stays strong and your results last. What Is a “Non-Responder”? Now let's touch on something important: what if the medication doesn't seem to work? Let's talk about what it means to be a “non-responder” on a GLP-1 medication like Wegovy or Zepbound. In clinical terms, a non-responder is someone who has been on their therapeutic dose for at least 3 months and has lost less than 5% of their total body weight—even though they're taking the medication correctly and making lifestyle changes like adjusting their diet, increasing physical activity, and managing stress or sleep. Let's break that down with an example: If someone weighs 200 pounds, 5% of their total body weight would be 10 pounds. So if they've been on their therapeutic dose for 12 weeks and have only lost, say, 4 or 5 pounds—despite doing everything right—they may be considered a non-responder. But as we mentioned before, everyone's therapeutic dose may be different. The therapeutic dose isn't just the maximum dose like 2.4 mg of semaglutide or 15 mg of tirzepatide. It's the dose at which you personally begin to experience consistent appetite suppression, weight loss, and minimal side effects. For some people, that may happen at 1 mg of semaglutide. Others may not feel much of a difference until they reach the full 2.4 mg. Some may even respond better at 1.7 mg and not tolerate the higher dose at all. That's why we titrate slowly, monitor your symptoms, and assess both how you feel and how your body is responding. So how do we know if you've reached your therapeutic dose? We look at things like: Has your appetite significantly decreased? Are you noticing earlier fullness or fewer cravings? Are you losing weight consistently over time Are side effects tolerable or nonexistent? If the answer is yes, you're probably at your therapeutic dose. But if the answer is no—if your hunger hasn't changed much, the scale hasn't moved, and you're not noticing any shift in your eating patterns after 3 months on a stable, higher dose—it might be time to re-evaluate. That could mean adjusting the dose, checking for other health issues that might be interfering (like thyroid problems or certain medications), or even considering a different treatment approach. *So what are my final thoughts? Your journey is unique. Not everyone responds the same way, and that's okay. The key is finding what works for your body, not just what the label says. These medications can absolutely change lives. But they're not magic. They work with your efforts—not instead of them. You'll need to be patient, flexible, and kind to yourself along the way. You may need to tweak your dose, change your food choices, or give your body time to adjust. That's part of the process. And remember—this isn't just about weight loss. It's about reclaiming your health, confidence, and energy. So take it one step at a time. Celebrate every win. And know that slow progress is still progress.

What if your best body, clearest mind, and strongest sense of purpose were still ahead of you? That's the question I explore in this episode with Richard Rosenfeld, MD, MPH, MBA. He's a board-certified ENT, Director of Guidelines and Quality at the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, and one of the most published ENT researchers in the world—with nearly 400 peer-reviewed articles to his name. But what really sets Rich apart is his personal story. In his mid-50s, he hit a turning point—and decided to change course. He adopted a whole food, plant-based lifestyle. Picked up strength training again after decades off. Started running. Now, in his 60s, he's finished 10 marathons, lifts consistently, and says he feels sharper and more alive than ever.

Americans are unusually overweight and chronically ill compared to similarly rich countries. This episode presents a grand, unified theory for why that's the case. Our food environment has become significantly more calorie-rich and industrialized in the past few decades, sending our obesity rates soaring, our visceral fat levels rising, and our chronic inflammation surging. The result is an astonishing rise in chronic illness in America. That's the bad news. The good news is that GLP-1 drugs, like Ozempic and Zepbound, seem to be astonishingly successful at reversing many of these trends. This episode blends two interviews with Dr. David Kessler and Dr. Eric Topol. Kessler was the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration under the Bush and Clinton administrations, from 1990 to 1997. He helped lead Operation Warp Speed in its final months. He is the author of the book 'Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine.' Topol is a cardiologist and the founder and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute. He is the author of the book 'Super Agers.' If you have questions, observations, or ideas for future episodes, email us at PlainEnglish@Spotify.com.

We know GLP-1 meds are still a hot topic, so wanted to share our journey with you all. We both came to the decision to start taking Zepbound after coming off Mounjaro in 2023. Tune in and listen to why we chose to start Zepbound, what method we are using and what we hope to achieve. In this episode, we also discuss what we learned from Mounjaro just a few years ago to help us prepare for part 2 of this journey. We both spoke to our doctors and explained what we were hoping to achieve and they were both on board. We are THRILLED that medical professionals are willing to help fight this disease of obesity, no matter what it takes! And we are both fortunate enough to have those caring and invested doctors to aid us in this journey. Both doctors covered with us how to properly pull the injection and how to administer it. Explained possible side effects, talked about diet and exercise in a caring and helpful manner. All the things that we deserve as humans in this battle for health! Our advice? If your doctor isn't willing to walk the path with you... FIND A NEW DOCTOR! Like now! The only missing puzzle piece here is to get the insurance companies up to speed. Neither of our insurance companies will cover the drug. So, we had to seek alternate routes to make it affordable. Tune in if you're curious to hear more about that, as we explain it in detail in this episode. We are excited to kick off this new journey and we're looking forward to taking you along for the ride!

More and more people with type 1 are using GLP-1 receptor agonists. You know these medications, with brand names like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound, but none of them are specifically approved to treat T1D. Some of the first studies are underway to study the safety and effectiveness of GLP-1s, but that hasn't stopped thousands of using them off-label or to treat obesity. We're talking to an endocrinologist and a clinical pharmacist about why they prescribe these meds to some of their type 1 patients, who they won't prescribe them for, and – I know you're already asking – how they get insurance coverage.

Episode 2647: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss traveling, going down a bad road with GLP-1s and muscle loss, and more. https:vinnietortorich.com/2025/05/going-down-a-bad-road-episode-2647 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Going Down A Bad Road Vinnie is traveling soon and is looking forward to going back home for crawfish season.

(16:00) Pure Vitamin Club, Pure Coffee Club, and NSNG Foods will be available on one website. Chris brings up Good Morning America and GLP-1s. (18:00) Zepbound is being touted as the most effective, but, of course, it will come at a cost. The drastic loss of muscle is a concern; after all, your heart is a muscle! Ten percent (the low-end percentage) of muscle loss in the 60 to 72 week time span is the same as 20 yearsof sarcopenia. (25:00) They give an example of a VIP member who has been slow to lose weight; however, they have figured out this person is undereating! Your metabolism can slow down if you aren't getting enough calories. It can be as simple as adding another egg or two to make sure you are getting enough. This is the challenge with intermittent fasting and OMAD (one meal a day) approaches to eating. If you allow yourself to eat a treat, just get right back on the NSNG® plan. If you aren't sure how to get started with NSNG®, get Vinnie's e-book. Chris shares some of his weight loss journey. (42:00) He discovered his wheat and gluten sensitivity after stopping eating certain foods like pizza and pasta. Now he is so well-tuned with his health, he can tell if even a small amount of wheat is in his food. Avoid processed foods; they are addictive and damaging to your health.
