Everyone has heard of the weight loss drug Ozempic. Other brands include Weg­ovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound. These are all basically the same and are based on a natural hormone called GLP-1. Your body makes GLP-1 after a meal and it makes you feel full, stopping you eating.
My body was completely stuck. I really let myself indulge when I was pregnant. So, when I had lost that baby at 20 weeks, I had probably gained an extra 40 pounds that I wasn't comfortable with. Seeing her 'pregnant belly with no baby in it' caused her to go into a 'deep depression.' Teigen said she used Ozempic for a year without results, until 'all of a sudden' she was 'finally able to lose the weight.'
Decreased risk of Alzheimer's and dementia, satiety, lipid management, et cetera. I have been injecting a teeny tiny microdose of something called Retatrutide on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. That's a triple hormone receptor agonist. It's a peptide. It targets GLP1, it targets something called GIP, and it targets glucagon. So it has three different ways that it suppresses hunger and helps out with appetite management along with all these other effects.
