This is The Bird Show.

Now, Cassie, this wasn't on the schedule here.

Are you prepared to talk about OZemB? Yeah, sure. Yeah, let's go for it. I've been thinking about doing OZembek, and it's something I've held out on. And I think it's a wonderful, wonderful drug for so many people when it's diagnosed, you know, prescribed by a doctor. And it's helped a lot of people. but it's also, I think, I feel been abused, especially by Hollywood.

And what I mean by abused is... prescribed by a doctor and it's helped a lot of people but it's also i think i feel been abused

especially by hollywood and what i mean by abused is taken for the wrong reasons really just for

vanity's sake rather than for an actual medical weight loss um sake yeah all we have to do is look

in the producing studio and i always use rebecca as our shining example of when her doctor tells her

that she's pre pre-diabetic and she should get on ozempic there is no such thing as pre-pre-diabetic

pre-diabetic means your sugar levels are great yeah and you know I think sometimes doctors try and

put stuff in terms that we would understand like hey maybe you're like you know maybe you're not pre-pre-diabetic. Maybe that's the way you're entering the caution zone. Just give it to a straight, man. So I booked an appointment after doing like, you know, I say research. It's not like I'm conducting the studies, but I do think you can go online to credible sources and do your own research

and learn stuff. And so I booked an appointment because I wanted to know more. And so my doctor

and I talked about it. And there's apparently like 10 years of research with semi-glutides and

five with this. She wanted to put me on Zepbound. And I wanted to be very careful because I told her,

I was like, this is not a decision I make lightly. Looking at my file, everything you know about me with my, I have polycystic ovarian syndrome, which means like they're a metabolic issue, it's harder for me to lose weight. Do you think I'm a good candidate? And she's like, yes, I feel very comfortable prescribing this. It's helped so many patients. This is a good route for you if you want to take it.

And so I went home and talked to my husband and I was like, I can't shake the feeling

that it feels like a cop out for me. Because when I hear other people taking it, I'm like, yes,

do what you need to do for your health. But for me, because I just haven't been able to, like,

hit the gym on a regular basis the way I would want to and really focus on trying to do things.

I don't want to say the natural way because I feel like there's a stigma around that.

And I'm really not trying to stigmatize anyone who's using a GLP one.

But I feel like I haven't put in the effort to do it the natural way. And although I do

know that I have problems losing weight even when I do. And so I'm afraid it feels like a cop out
