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

About a million years ago (35 actually ) I had a summer job a Merck. My job was to catalogue plant sap samples they had gotten from trees from all over the world. There were enough of them to keep me busy for the summer. I cataloged them and aliquoted them so that scientists could test them for activity against various diseases. So yes, pharma knows that plants are the answer

I went to a low-carb, fasting, and Berberine plan over 4 months ago and I lost over 30 pounds in the first 2 months and another 15 pounds in the next 2 months. I feel much better, and all of the signs of fatty liver went away. I am down 5 sizes in my pants and 2 sizes in my shirts. Berberine has been fantastic for me and I never get hungry and I actually have to remind myself to eat all of the time. I reduced my BP medicine and I expect that I may have to get it adjusted again before I reach my goal of losing another 20 pounds. I am 6 foot tall and started at 235 pounds. Great video.

The hardest part about dieting--telling your wife that you won't be eating dinner with the family. I changed to a very loose interpretation of intermittent fasting--I cheat often--and have dropped 30 pounds without even thinking about it. It's literally changing my life. Listening to Dr. Berg caused the change, along with talking with my friend who lived through Stage IV cancer, and used fasting as a strategy. Just do it.

I had bouts of gastroparesis since I had my gallbladder out when I was a teenager. The only side effect I’ve had from the shot is mild constipation & it’s straightened itself out within a day or so. My gastritis has leveled out, zero gastroparesis, I have more energy and feel great. I am 40 pounds down & have 40 more to go. However I do have friends who have taken the shot and suffered a lot of the negative side effects

I been on Ozempic for diabetes, graduating to 1mg since August 2019. For 10 months straight, I could hardly eat at all. Nausea, heartburn, sulfur burps, etc. The only time I lost some weight was that first 10 months. Now I take 1 mg a week just to keep my blood sugar under control. Problem is. I live in Canada. There is a shortage of Ozempic. I have one shot left and they want to switch me to Rybelsus daily pill. I don't want to go through all this again. I wish I found your channel back in 2019.

I’m on Ozempic and have had no side effects at all. I have lost 30kg. I feel so much better. I find that Ozempic helps me stick to Low carb & intermittent fasting. I’m in a group with thousands of Ozempic users and overwhelmingly the reports are positive. Yes, a few people have some (mostly mild) side effects but these are usually manageable. I agree that if you can successfully lose weight using ‘natural’ methods then great. For those of us who have tried and failed time & time again now we have Ozempic to help us. Much better than staying obese in my opinion😊

This has been my experience as well. I am trying to get out of it tho but it became a train wreck. I find out that in order for me to maintain my weight, I need to make sure I am on ozempic. I had a surgery and taking other meds for it, had to be out of ozempic for about 3 months... it was a bit crazy! gained 20 lbs (mind you, the meds I got made me retain water and I wasn't moving much). Ozempic like everything else is not a miracle drug. I think that is where people gets it confused. As long as I eat a sensible diet (which I haven't, guilty of charge) and keep moving, it works. The great benefit for me, at least, was the cravings. I binge eat so this has helped me tremendously to keep that in check. I am giving it another try. Why? Because I got to be 250lbs at some point and nothing worked for me. This helped me to get to 157... now I'm at 180 now but the extra help keeps me motivated. :) thanks for your comment

This video is nonsense! *Ozempic is a Miracle Life Saving Drug for people who cannot control their Diabetes.* I only pay $7.70 for it here in Australia. You exaggerate the side effects. Minor side effects only effect 5% to 10% of those using it. Thyroid Cancer? Ozempic does NOT product Thyroid Cancer in normal people, but it clearly states it should NOT be used on people with a family history of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplastic Syndrome. Same for Retinopathy. It should NOT be used for people who already have Retinopathy or Macular Edema because it will make these conditions worse. Muscle loss happens when you lose weight and don't exercise, so ALL Diets lead to muscle loss! It does NOT cause Kidney Disease, that is a load of bullocks! Do you plan on taking this for the rest of your life? Well yes, just like Diabetics have to take Metformin for the rest of their lives. Herbs do not cure Diabetes.

My issue with these injectable drugs is that they do little to deal with the psychological aspects of over-eating/binge eating. We all know (many of us from bitter experience) that we are fat and unhealthy because we eat too much of the wrong type of food. High sugar/ultra-processed food is often what we turn to when stressed or in an emotionally fragile place. Changing not only WHAT we eat but how and when we eat is the answer. Recognising the triggers that lead to emotional over-eating is key. An injection won’t help with any of that. Once you stop the injections, you’ll probably just return to the bad eating habits with commensurate weight regain and health issues returning. I will definitely check out the ginseng and berberine!

The whole point of ozempic is that it deals with the 'psychological aspects of over-eating/binge eating'. it makes you feel full and stop you thinking about food. Hence you eat less and lose weight. You are right that once injections stop, pre-ozempic eating habits come back. It's nice to think that we, as the human race, can overcome our unhealthy relationship with food with sheer will power, but statistical trends show otherwise.

I hit 200 lbs in 5th grade, and was 240 lbs by 6th grade. I'm now 39, and in the last 3 years, I went from 350 lbs to 216 lbs as of this morning, and I'm still going. I've not been this size since I was 10 years old 🥹 THANK YOU. Along with diligently working on my emotional healing, you've helped me physically heal my body and I owe you so much gratitude. I know we all show our thanks, but I need you to know the HUGE impact you're having on us and the gravity of the difference you're making in so many lives. We truly appreciate you and the path of wellness you've provided. ❤

Great data as always. Surprised a bit at some folks raving about the drug. Sad to me, as it so represents the state of the society. There's gotta be a pill for everything, right? That aside, I just started on the Berberine, but was drawn to it for one of my ponies! He has the Equine Metabolic issue, which is very similar to diabetes in people. He has only been on it a couple of weeks, but his overall condition has improved. I have been working on digestive issues, making great headway, thanks to you, and many other very knowledgeable people - thank goodness for "internet doctors"! (That is what my medical doc described you all as - but he has provided me with zero!! Not one thing from him in almost two years. Thank you for all you do in your attempt to steer people down a self responsible, natural path.

I was offered Ozempic but I'm always looking for the angle. I found a study that linked a calcium & amino acid deficiency with a reduction in GLP-1 production. In my case I know I have calcium and D3 problems so I supplemented and started losing weight again. I like the way you lean on health even though 90% of the solutions presented are out of my financial reach.

LOve your videos and the alternative explanations of how things work. I have been battling all my life with appetite cravings which i have to state is different than being hungry. i can have extreme cravings on a full stomach. due to accute stress the past two years have been extreme in terms of binge eating. i gained 20 kg and developed fatty liver in only two months. those cravings just wouldn't stop as well as my thoughts around food 24/7 and the only thing that managed at least temporarily to stop it was ozempic (due to its effects on the hypothalamus has worked for other addictions too). Ozempic cut cravings and even hunger. that helped me easily do intermittent fasting and choose healthy foods and lose around 13kg. the thing is if i stop it the carvings come back. what else is there as an alternative with such dramatic effect on binge eating?(the only other thing i know are amfetamines). dietary guidelines and fasting fail when the cravings are active cause they cannot be applied. i would love your oppinion on this cause i struggle so many years. thanks again for the great content!!!

I tried ozempic. I took it on and off for 4 months. I went from 235 to 188. I stopped it and about a year later I was up to 225. So I did it again for about 3 months. But this time I only got down to 211. I also was eating zofran like M&M’s! My hair was very long coarse and super thick. I loved my hair! But it started breaking off just below my shoulders and falling out. I have 1/3 of the hair I had. It won’t get any longer and for about a year it went from straight to kinky fuzzy! I refused to go anywhere for a year because I was so ashamed. But the worst part was the last shot put me in the bed for 6 weeks! If I rolled over I felt like I was going to throw up. Going to the bathroom I felt like I was going to pass out and would have to sit down halfway there and back. I’ve never been that miserable in my life! I was beginning to think I was gonna die. It scared me so bad I’ll NEVER take it again! I usually don’t take any meds until they’ve been on the market for a few years so we know more about them. But after turning 40 my usual calorie counting wasn’t working. I just couldn’t get the weight off I’d gained since turning 40. I’ve never been overweight! Until 40. I’m disabled now because I developed lupus at age 32. I don’t see my friends that often because they work. I didn’t want anyone to see me. I just knew they would be thinking, wow! She’s really let herself go. But what I went thru with Ozempic was way worse than my embarrassment over the weight gain. I’m going to try the berberine and panax ginseng. I’m also going to start a carnivore diet. I’ve been researching it a lot and some people get 100% relief from their autoimmune disease. Plus they say the energy levels skyrocket. I need all of that! I just wish I could find a local farmer who raised cattle without antibiotics, hormones, & steroids. I’ve found some online but just ground beef is $10 per pound. I just can’t afford that. I’ll do the best I can with store bought. If you are considering Ozempic just for weight loss find something else. It’s not worth it!

Also, this has been without me making any changes to my exercise or diet. But I do eat low carb (ish) for the most part. I could definitely do better in that regard.

I needed to stop my bathroom trips and he finally listened and gave me chronic diarrhea meds. They helped but it still took 5 weeks for me to get better. Worst experience ever and now, I weigh 15 lbs MORE than when I started. I feel so powerless.

I love your videos. I also take Ozempic for severe insulin resistance. I work with a very knowledgeable bariatric doctor who combines this drug with a low carb diet and intermittent fasting. I have no noticeable side effects. I’m getting good results with the program I’m on at .50 of the normal prescribed dose. I ramped up very slowly to this over a few months to avoid the side effects some people get. My doctor explained to me that this is a genetic problem and I may have to stay on the drug long term. This has given me back my life. I can see this drug being a problem in the wrong hands. It’s very important to have a doctor that really understands the science and will guide you. I am no longer obese. I cannot tell you how much I tried prior to this and failed and how grateful I am to have a doctor that understands my issue and is willing to work with me

Your experience sounds very similar to mine. I use a smaller dose of Oz in conjunction with keto and IF and that’s working well for me.

They are both the same molecule (semaglutide) but Ozempic is for people with diabetes to lower blood sugar(among other things as well) . Wegovy is the brand that is marketed for weight loss. Insurers are getting very partiular about not giving Ozempic for weight loss alone (at least here in Vermont).

I took Ozempic and a similar oral medication called Rybelsus. Made my life a living hell daily with severe nausea, feeling unwell. I am a type 2 diabetic. It also didn't help me lose weight. It actually made me want to eat more due to the nausea as it felt like hunger nausea.

I have a friend who got on Ozempic. She wasn’t even that overweight, maybe 30lbs at most that she gained through early menopause. I told her before she got on it to try simple changes like cutting out processed carbs, junk food, sugar and upping her protein and animal fat intake… nothing crazy. She laughed and said no way could she mentally give up her favorite things. Instead she got on ozempic and I’m not kidding when I say I saw her 2 weeks after taking it and she looked SOOO SICKLY… so much so that another friend said out loud “Are you Ok!?! You look super sick!?” Her face looked so pale, so tired, so gaunt and already has made her look much older. I didn’t say anything but I really wish she would of just went natural and did basic exercises and diet changes.

I use Berberine! And wow did it help in losing some of that stubborn weight. Note: I intermittent fast and I do Keto. This took my results to the next level. I haven’t measured my low LDL yet but hear that it can also lower that. Waiting for my next physical to test those results.

I can attest that by doing 16:8 IF and a low-carb diet my hunger levels have come down drastically. Most of the times I need to remind myself to eat before the next IF window opens. I need to clarify, I do keto on most days, but because I’m not always faithful to keeping my carbs below the level every single day, which the keto diet demands, I cannot claim I’m fully on keto. But despite of this, I have still experienced a significant decrease of hunger.

As a person who addressed their SIBO and Hypoglycemia through these videos, I figured I could offer another great insight on what's helped me control blood sugars and food cravings as well as night time alcohol cravings: Kudzu Root Extract. I think Dr. Berg has covered Kudzu on a different video, but I do think you could potentially change your life by combining that with Berberine (which I actually have but haven't started yet) and Panax Ginseng. I have two friends who have essentially quit drinking because of Kudzu, and alcohol does seem to be most people's problem in regards to not being able to achieve weight loss as well as experiencing multiple uncomfortable diabetic effects in their daily lives.

You know Dr.Berg, we’ve all been waiting to hear your thoughts on these Ozempic type medications. I usually go to your videos for anything health related and there is always something on pretty much every topic..but you have been silence on this…until now. Gotta be honest, I think this topic warrants a more in depth video from you. Not just boiler plate stuff. You are my all time favorite so please don’t take as an insult. I’m just surprised you didn’t have more to say on this huge health topic.
