259. My Thoughts if You Are Considering taking Ozembic, Mounjaro, Wegovy or other Semaglutide Medications to Lose Weight?

Mounjaro, Ozembic, Semaglutide, Wegovy and other medications coming on the market are an injectable drug that originally was prescribed for people with type 2 diabetes to manage their blood sugar and reduce their risk of heart problems and other complications. The FDA first approved semaglutide in 2017 for type 2 diabetes and again in 2021 under the brand name Wegovy. Recently, it was approved for “chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition,” including high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol.   In this episode, Marna Thall, owner of ThinWithin.com and ThinWithinLife.com shares her opinions on these medications as a weight loss and emotional eating expert. Mounjaro, Ozembic, Semaglutide, Wegovy are prescribed in various doses and can be in the form of a weekly injection - administered in the stomach, thigh or arm - or a daily oral tablet. Before considering any new medication, it's important that you know the side effects of these medications: The array of side effects are one of the reasons why it’s important to be issued the right dose and be monitored by a doctor or pharmacist. These can include nausea, cramping, diarrhea, acid reflux, vomiting and constipation. Some people report hair loss, heartburn and swelling at the site of injection. There is also a slight increased risk of pancreatitis, hypoglycemia and thyroid cancer, and it’s important to stay hydrated to avoid kidney issues. In addition, since these medications are relatively new, there’s no way of saying long-term risks, unless we use the medications for 20 years and then look back retrospectively and find problems. As a weight loss coach, Marna knows that weight loss is complicated and not just one dimensional. There are various factors impacting weight including: genetics, environment, hormones, emotions, etc. Listen as Marna reviews the positives and negatives of these GLP-1 agonists medication types, when  you might consider them and what to do before you try them out.  If you's like to reprogramming your relationship to food and lose between 20-80 pounds in the next 6-10 months, here are two things you can do right now: - 1.
