Summary

Let’s talk about Ozempic. Ozempic is an injectable drug that’s used to help people lose weight. Yes, it may work. But it’s expensive and has serious potential side effects.

Ozempic increases a certain receptor that helps slow down digestion and decreases appetite and cravings. It also helps restore insulin levels and blood sugar levels.

Potential side effects of Ozempic can include:

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Bloating

• Abdominal pain

• Headaches

• Gas

• Constipation

• Diarrhea

• Heartburn

• Dizziness

• Thyroid cancer

• Suicidal thoughts

• Pancreatitis

• Kidney disease

• Retinopathy

• Muscle loss

• Gastroparesis

The question is, will Ozempic really solve your weight loss problem without giving you a different problem? How about an alternative? Thousands of natural chemicals in plants have therapeutic health benefits with rarely any side effects.

The best natural remedies for weight loss:

1. Panax ginseng

2. Berberine

These home remedies for weight loss are great to use in combination with changing your diet. The best diet plan for weight loss is the Healthy Keto® diet with intermittent fasting.

Not only will the Healthy Keto diet and intermittent fasting help support weight loss, but they also help reduce hunger and cravings. This is a weight loss plan you can do long-term and at a fraction of the cost of Ozempic.

The top benefits of the keto diet that go beyond weight loss include:

• Improved cognitive function

• Better mood

• Enhanced liver function

• Preserved muscles

• Healthy digestion

0:00.0	So I had some requests to do a video on this drug called Osempic, and this is a drug that's
0:04.8	very popular, which is used for weight loss. It's an injectable drug. I'm not going to deny it
0:09.8	does work, but it comes with a package. Some slight minor problems, which I'll discuss, but first
0:16.5	let's talk about why it actually works. What Osempic does to the body is it increases a certain
0:23.4	receptor called GLP1, which helps slow down digestion, thereby decreasing your appetite,
0:31.9	cravings, so you're no longer hungry, and you can eat less and lose more weight. It even improves
0:39.2	the beta cells of the pancreas to help restore insulin levels. In fact, it's been known to
0:44.8	improve insulin resistance, and anything that improves insulin resistance will help you lose weight.
0:50.4	It has some interesting effects in the liver, too. It actually helps a person stop making so
0:55.2	much sugar. That's called gluconeogenesis, and also it helps slow the breakdown of sugar
1:01.2	in the liver. So this is why it's used with diabetics. It can help blood sugars. It sounds pretty
1:06.6	cool, right? Well, it has some slight problems. Number one, it's a bit expensive. It's between,
1:12.3	I think, 1,300 to 1,500 dollars a month, and it has some slight minor side effects,
1:18.9	like nausea, vomiting, bloating, abdominal pain, headaches, gas, constipation, diarrhea,
1:25.8	heartburn, and dizziness. Some of those don't seem minor. They seem kind of major, but let's talk
1:30.9	about the major side effects thyroid cancer. There's also been another side effect of suicidal thoughts.
1:37.5	Hancreatitis, kidney disease, retinopathy, which is damaged to the retina, muscle loss,
1:44.4	and gastroparesis, where there's a situation where the food is not emptying from your stomach too
1:49.7	well. And some of these side effects don't occur for about three days. So you have three days
1:55.4	without any side effects on all of a sudden they kick in. And when people get off the medications,
1:59.0	many times they still have side effects for a period of five weeks, because it takes five weeks
2:04.8	to get it out of your system. And my question is, do you plan on taking this rest of your life?
