Weight loss medications – Ozempic

Posted on May 21, 2022 by Therapists in Health Improvement

Covid belly is a problem we all have this year! Menopause and hormone changes just makes it worse.

Weight loss is definitely on the map right now as we all like to look good and a few of us can afford a whole new wardrobe!

I’m excited to tell you that finally there is an easy solution to control the metabolic problems surrounding weight loss.

Working with the body’s metabolic hormones the new diet drug – Ozempic – slows down the rate of stomach emptying, decreases appetite levels, and most importantly moves glycogen – a stored form of glucose – from the liver and muscles. As the body can only store 600 grams of this glycogen, after this amount it’s converted  – yes – to fat! Glycogen is not good!  This painless weekly self – injection is scientifically proven to not only assist weight loss but to improve liver function and fatty liver.

I’m sure we’re all familiar with the fact that we eat better food and exercise more than we did when younger, yet we are not burning fat. ‘Fat burning’  is something we read on social media but from a biological point (no space) of view losing fat revolves around metabolic processes involving insulin and glucagon. Most of us are familiar with insulin, however glucagon is also essential- a pancreas hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and one of the reasons that weigh loss plans using fasting works is that more glucagon is produced.

Glucagon from the pancreas will aid weight loss, Glycogen becomes fat with not enough glucagon! The two ‘G’s!

Medically, weight loss could not be important, as we now know that all causes of chronic disease, including heart disease, cancers and Alzheimers are related to obesity.

As long as they do not have any significant side-effects, which this one does not have, I see that diet drugs can only help us medically.

We check your insulin and average blood sugar levels at the beginning and then monitor them 1-2 monthly to ensure that the body‘s metabolic function is actually being improved.
