I shake my head at our stupidity, and the criminal negligence of the doctors who prescribe this poison. We eat crap, stare at screens and don't exercise, and have crummy sleep. Oh, boy! A new "miracle drug" that makes us lose the weight, and we don't have to lift a finger. And it's FREE! No thanks. I'm 71, and losing weight has become gradually more difficult for me. I had gained 25 lbs. over the past 2 years due to undiagnosed hypothyroidism. Synthroid and some supplements stabilized that for the moment, but then I was diagnosed with lung cancer. I immediately switched to a ketogenic diet and started taking BHB. I've dropped about 35 lbs. in 5 months. Never once did I consider Ozempic, nor would I. In my case it was a cancer problem, not a weight loss problem. The weight loss was a fringe benefit. My point here is that you only need to change your lifestyle and take an inexpensive (and safe) supplement to lose weight at any age. (Thanks to author Travis Christofferson and his book Ketones: The Fourth Fuel, for hipping me to BHB!)
I read the article and all the comments but I didn't see the natural supplement Berberine mentioned anywhere. It's sometimes referred to as "Natures Ozempic" because of it's similar benefits but without the terrible side effects. It's been shown to help with weight loss but through a different mechanism, it's equally effective as statins (cholesterol reducing drugs), it significantly reduces fasting blood glucose levels in people with a glucose fasting index of 100 or higher, and unlike Ozempic it actually supports the gut biome instead of destroying it. It's one of the many supplements I have on my shelf.
“Akkermansia muciniphila [a probiotic] may serve as a natural therapeutic agent for metabolic disorders with mechanisms that complement those of GLP-1 drugs.”
This is the “bottom line” distillation of a 4-paragraph summary by Brave AI to the query, “Discuss the relationship between Akkermansia muciniphila and GLP-1 drugs.” The entire summary, including its several methods of action, is worth reading, but I will not hijack the comment section by reproducing its entirety.
And the latest technique to entice new customers is to offer GLP1 “micro-dosing”. It’s marketed as much safer with far fewer side effects. 🙄 I’ll stick with eating healthy and moving my body daily.
Of course the healthcare budget is huge. They are buying billions in vaccines that arent even being used. Those "free Covid and flu vaccines here" signs on all of the grocery stores and pharmacies arent free. We are paying for them. They can buy billions in vaccines every year with our money and then just toss them if they want. Why would they care? They already got their money. They are forcing us to pay for them whether we want them or not.
It’s a single agonist… do you think the triple agonists are better? People with Alpha 1 deficiency and fatty liver report low doses helping them. Key word is low.
Thank you for this article. Your criticism of GLP-1's, the pharmaceutical, food, medical and research industries as well as the press are well reasoned and articulated, but the answer to the obesity crisis is still obscure. When I look at pictures of people from the 1940's, the first thing that grabs my attention is that they are all so thin. Not what we today would call normal weight, they are skinny!
How did this happen? I am 73 y.o. I was a fat kid and went on my first diet when I was 9 (1961.) Over the last 30 years I have tried calorie restriction, intense and moderate exercise, Atkins and multiple other carb resticting diets, fasting and intermittent fasting. My diet is very clean, I eat pastured or grass fed meats, no toxic oils and low gycemic index carbs from organic sources. I have tried multiple supplements including BHB and berberine. Many of these things help temporarily and at times I have lost 30 to 40 pounds only to gain half or more of it back, and I only keep it to that by never going off a diet. I am undone by intense cravings for food, particularly carbs but not sugar. I find that fighting the urges only intensfies them.
Something conditioned my system to crave excessive or the wrong food. Perhaps it was breakfast cereals when I was young or white bread. My diet growing up was much better than most kids today and better than most kids in my neighborhoood. My mother was a farm girl and fed us as close to the farm as she could growing up in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. We visited her father's farm and I saw what they ate, very heavy on bread and they were all thin except my mom who also struggled with obesity.
It seems to me that supplements are similar to medication, manipulating an already damaged hunger/digestive system and that we must figure out what is causing the damge in the first place.
I think America is done, this is just another way to kill off and destroy humanity, more is coming with these Wareables that Healthcare is going to make you ware if you want heathcare, which AI will run, they will get rid of most doctors. But the shot is now being put out there for this dumbed down public to see, big information is coming, and big pharmaceutical companies are going to hook up with military and government agencies to make sure we get another 9/11 or something bigger to make people terrified and not hear the vax truths..millions have died in America alone, and disabilities are right up there from these shots, our government has been taken over, this is no evil demon, or some dude called Sat, these are human beings with the technology to kill every human on earth, everyone is full of their technology, through foods, water, air and vaccines, all they have to do is turn up the EMF...and millions will drop..they will call it some kind of medical Thing, but it is 4/5/6/7 G....
Dr. Yoho, I appreciate all the information you impart and have been reading your books. Dr. Stoller is someone who I greatly respect also. We have been studying Dr. Klinghardt's trainings and videos. I imagine you know of him. If not, you should. He talked about some neurology specialists that got together on the Greek side of Cyprus and have the sozobraincenter.com. He said they are doing amazing things for Parkinson's patients. I know how hard you are researching to help your Parkinson's so I wanted to make sure that you are aware of this.
….the system profits from managing disease, not curing it.

But it’s only profitable because socialized medicine uses OPM. Make people pay for these snake oils out of their own pockets and I guarantee you that the gravy train will derail.
Just a technicality: serotonin does not cross the BBB (blood brain barrier), but tryptophan does and is then converted to serotonin. So I believe that all the serotonin produced in the gut does not increase or decrease serotonin in the brain. However, gut changes may have some effect on the amount of tryptophan that is absorbed into the plasma and then results in serotonin production in the brain. I can find no data on GLP-1 drugs and tryptophan effects.
Anyway, I agree that overall this is very likely to make health even worse than it already is.
Folks are so caught up in the 'convenience complex' that they will believe anything said o them. Very dangerous times. The agencies are totally against you.

to me
Bob:
The best way - in term sof safety - to lose weight is to supplement with Beta Hydroxy Butyrate. (10 to 15 grams a day)
This is the main ketone one makes during ketosis.
By supplementing BHB you are feeding your cells (not cancer cells) with energy (no calories) and by feeding
you cells your hunger is modulated... you lose your appetite without hurting your body because you body is saying
you just fed me with something I can use for energy so I am not hungry anymore.

What I take: Toniiq Akkermansia Probiotic — https://a.co/d/7oBl2r7
Yes, Dr. Mercola recently had an excellent article on this probiotic.
Berberine is helpful for cancer also.

Yet, here I am, paying over $900 for a 90-day supply of BioIdentical Hormones… 😡

listen to the smart students
Not long ago the majority of our representatives were waving Ukrainian flags. Maybe we should give them a one way ticket there.
Great content. I would like t ask Dr Yoho if Ozempic and Munjaro are the same or made from the same ingredients? Thank you
