The diet drug Ozempic...would you take it..?

yep I'm afraid I often think this when I see people in a condition you wouldn't imagine they'd come out if they saw themselves.. but then I think maybe Kelly has that Anorexic mind set now where she's looking in a mirror and STILL thinking she's overweight... sad if that's the case...

I was more looking at the need for a beauty shop and a personal shopper.

I've been opposed to semiglutide as a weight loss drug having seen one too many (one is enough!) cases of gastroparesis as a dietitian.

But I've now decided to try it, not for weight loss, but micro-dosing for inflammation associated with autoimmune disorders. Semiglutides are showing success in off-label use and in early studies for reducing autoimmune inflammation. Biologics (such as Humira) side effects (increased risk of infection) have scared me so I haven't tried them due to that and also that many patients and rheumatologists report biologics eventually lose efficacy. The adverse GI effects of semiglutides so far seem negligible with microdosing so I'm about to give it a try. Got a two months supply today.

I have been watching and reading on the many weight loss drugs ...
Most will not know all the side effects until people have enough serious consequences to limit or change drugs. The idea these are prescribed to only the obese who need it is wrong....... some doctors will give to almost anyone. I have had 2 friends who may be slightly overweight but not significantly were offered this.
In my looking at articles, especially online there are many many of " i lost weight changing diet and exercise " type articles.
The one thing i noticed is the before and after photos ... many, if not all using drugs look pale and unhealthy.

Face issues with so many more noticeable IMO on women........ but men and women both sometimes look ten years older etc.
while the other groups changing lifestyle...... looked thinner but had color and definition in their face.
