11:35 What to do instead of Ozempic

When you lose 50 pounds on Ozempic, you haven’t only lost fat; you’ve also lost muscle. Research has shown that most people gain two-thirds of their weight back within a year of quitting Ozempic. This new weight gain is nearly all fat!

Ozempic hijacks a system that already occurs naturally in your body. There are specialized cells in the digestive system called L-cells that increase GLP-1 when stimulated. GLP-1 tells the brain it’s no longer hungry, releases insulin, and slows digestion. For many people, the natural GLP-1 system is broken.

To activate this system without the use of Ozempic, you’ll need to naturally trigger the L-cells and activate GLP-1. This won’t work as powerfully as Ozempic, but it can create a significant effect. To do this, consume the following:

• Short-chain fatty acids

• Apple cider vinegar

• Fermented foods

• Fiber with each meal

• Omega-3 fats

• Olive oil

• Avocado oil

• Amino acids

• Bile salts (TUDCA)

There are specific types of fiber that help support this process, including inulin found in garlic and onions, leeks, asparagus, artichokes, flax seeds, chia seeds, and avocados. Try replacing salad with sauerkraut to activate GLP-1.

Modern medicine does not address root causes, but rather addresses symptoms that occur later in the chain of events. This holds true for Ozempic. Instead of taking Ozempic, try the following:

1. Protein and fiber

2. Eliminate starches and sugar from your diet

3. Walk after meals

4. Consume 1-2 meals per day, no snacking

5. Weight training
