>> Hunter Hoover: If I'm sumaggluting myself on the daily,
0:04
but I'm still eating like two to seven pieces of
0:06
pizza for lunch
0:10
and I'm just goblin down sugar drinks
0:13
and I refuse to exercise in any
0:16
way, I have a feeling it's not going to have
0:19
the accomplished effect.
0:24
Welcome back to Privy.
0:27
Privy is a podcast about
0:29
bathrooms recorded from
0:32
my home bathroom. I'm your host,
0:35
Hunter Hoover, and I love bathrooms.
0:38
Welcome back everyone. Thank you so much for being here.
0:41
Um, thank you for joining us as we're closing out
0:43
February. February is a short month and it's a challenging
0:46
month. There's a lot of frustration. There's a lot of,
0:49
I think unexpected surprises
0:52
in February. You know, I think there's a lot
0:55
of folks that, that come towards the end of the year,
0:58
they'renn have, they're gonna have a lot of, a lot of extra stuff
1:01
going on. And in February is one of those
1:04
months where sometimes that type stuff happens.
1:07
Uh, I want to note here at the top
1:10
of the show, I have a co worker, uh, at the high school I
1:13
work at who has told me, he's told me on
1:16
a number of occasions, he's like, hey, I got
1:18
some pretty sweet bathroom store. Like
1:21
I used to work as this. You
1:24
worker, like worked with kids. I've got some
1:27
stories to tell. The incredible
1:29
bummer is he is unwilling to come
1:32
on the show. I've been working on it. There's actually a handful of
1:35
people that I know who are like, yeah, I've
1:38
got some sweet stories, but they're unwilling to come on the
1:41
show. It's a real bummer. It's real
1:44
unfortunate because the world needs
1:46
their bathroom wisdom, but they are unwilling to share
1:49
it. It's an ongoing problem. It's an
1:52
apprehension that I find that a lot of people have when they
1:55
begin interfacing with this show. You know, maybe they're met with
1:58
some embarrassment, like, oh, I'm listening to this
2:01
guy talk about bathrooms. He says he likes
2:04
bathrooms. I sure like bathrooms. I would much
2:07
rather do this than diaper dumpy
2:09
myself. But, um, these bathroom stories,
2:12
they need shared. So I'm going to put a little call out here
2:16
at the top of the show. If you have what
2:19
you believe is a bathroom story that you'd love to share, hit me
2:21
up. Those who've heard, ah,
2:24
an episode where I've had someone on before know that
2:27
you do not have to carry the bulk of the episode. You
2:30
do not have to carry the episode with your story. Now,
2:33
your story will probably be the
2:36
highlight of the show. It usually is. But I
2:39
always have some things that I need to be asking people about
2:41
bathrooms. So if you're interested, hit me up
2:43
privycastmail.com. it's
2:46
February. The other thing that happens in February, besides
2:49
leading to post your regret,
2:52
uh, is a lot of people have
2:55
abandoned a lot of those, uh,
2:58
diets and things that they,
3:01
you know, they started out the beginning of the year
3:04
and maybe January is a little bumpy. In February is the month we're going to
3:07
lock it down. But by the time
3:09
Valentine's Day rolls around and everybody's
3:13
gobbled up their, their dang,
3:16
you know, they've gotten there,
3:19
Valentine's candy,
3:22
they've blown the New Year's
3:24
resolution. It's done, it's failed.
3:27
And so while these New Year's resolutions and
3:30
health fads are all
3:33
but totally cast by the wayside
3:36
by this point in the year, there's another
3:38
fad that seems to be a little
3:41
more prominent than I think it needs to be.
3:44
And before we jump into this fad and specifically
3:47
how this fad affects our
3:50
bathrooming, we need to do a little history
3:53
lesson in privy, cast style.
4:01
In 1902, British
4:03
physiologist William Bayless and
4:06
Ernest Starling. Those are some very British
4:09
names, by the way, I might add. They discovered
4:13
a chemical, uh, a compound
4:15
in our bodies called secretin.
4:18
It's the first hormone which they
4:21
discovered helps regulate
4:23
pancreatic secretions.
4:25
This discovery marked the
4:28
beginning of research into
4:30
gastrointestinal hormones and
4:33
their role in the metabolic process. In other
4:36
words, they started to learn about how the
4:39
very yummy drippy juices that our internal organs
4:42
produce help break down the food and metabolize
4:45
the food that we eat. Just an
4:47
FYI, in today's episode, we're going to
4:50
say the word secretion a lot.
4:53
So if the word secretion is a word that
4:56
bothers you, um, I'm sorry, but
4:58
we're going to say secretion a lot this episode.
5:01
It's an unfortunate byproduct of us talking
5:04
about these things, but what's a guy to
5:07
do?
5:09
Secretion. The idea of
5:16
incretins were more of a concept.
5:20
The term in cretin
5:23
or in incretin was introduced to
5:25
describe gut derived
5:28
factors that enhance insulin
5:31
secretion in response to oral
5:34
glucose. So you eat the yummy sugar glucose, yum, yum, yum,
5:37
yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, and then your gut
5:40
it. This in incretin
5:43
is this thing that helps
5:46
enhance insulin
5:49
secretion in order to respond to that intake glucose.
5:51
Like, you eat a big fat brownie,
5:54
big sloppy, wet brownie, a big old sloppy
5:57
guy, and they're like, he's gonna have more
6:00
in incretins due to the brownie. However,
6:03
the specific hormones
6:06
responsible weren't, uh,
6:08
immediately identified. It wasn't like, hey, this is
6:11
the one to one of what's going on here.
6:14
It seems incretin, or
6:17
incretin is tied specifically to the glucose you
6:20
eat and as a result is
6:23
related to the digestive systems in our
6:25
bodies. Here on Privy, we're a
6:28
big fan of digestion. I had a big
6:31
old fancy meatball sub with
6:33
fancy ham on it this afternoon, this evening, so very
6:36
delicious. And I'm going to learn a little bit about
6:39
digestion here in the coming hours, I'll tell you what.
6:43
But the incretin phenomenon was used
6:46
to describe this observation.
6:50
Researchers labeled this in
6:53
the 1960s and 70s,
6:56
and they came to believe
6:58
that oral glucose intake
7:00
stimulates a stronger
7:03
insulin response compared
7:06
to intravenous glucose.
7:09
So, um, in other words, like, if you
7:12
eat something that is high in sugar, it
7:14
causes a greater response than if you just straight
7:17
up inject the sugar straight into the good
7:20
old SS bloodstream right there and get it right on
7:23
in. This M phenomenon that when
7:26
you eat it, it produces a greater insulin
7:29
response became known as the Crein
7:32
effect. But the hormones
7:35
responsible for this phenomenon were not really
7:38
perceived or that well known
7:40
or could not be identified. It
7:43
took them a bit, but by
7:46
1971, they pinned
7:48
down what was causing this thing.
7:52
An incretin hormone was
7:54
discovered, known as
7:57
GIP, I.e. gastric
7:59
inhibitory polypeptide.
8:02
This gastric inhibitory
8:04
polypeptide was identified
8:07
as an incretin hormone.
8:10
However, GIP's effectiveness was limited
8:13
to individual type, limited
8:16
in individuals with type 2 diabetes. So
8:19
people with type 2 diabetes, that GIP, they had
8:22
the GIP, you know what I'm saying? The GIP was really gipping on.
8:25
And so that caused these scientists to
8:28
wonder, why do people with this
8:30
specific type of diabetes, type 2
8:33
diabetes, have this
8:36
gastric inhibitory polypeptide?
8:39
And. Or, uh, rather, why are they so
8:41
limited in it? Like, why does their body
8:44
not seem to produce or not seem to have
8:47
the same reaction in the face of glucose
8:50
as others? In the 1980s,
8:53
advances in molecular biology
8:56
revealed that there was
8:59
actually a gene that had
9:01
some things to do
9:04
with these matters. The
9:06
proglucagon gene
9:10
in the pancreas produces
9:13
multiple peptides, including
9:15
glucagon. Researchers found
9:18
that in the intestines the same gene
9:21
produces different peptides,
9:23
GLP1 and
9:25
GLP2. Now I will notice this is different
9:28
than GIP. We've been talking about GIP.
9:31
This is GLP. And
9:35
these two, GLP1 and GLP 2
9:37
are responsible for helping break down
9:40
sugars in the body.
9:43
In 1985 they isolated
9:46
GLP2 when a
9:48
team, uh, uh, led by Dr.
9:51
Joel Haernner.
9:53
Haernner, Haernner
9:56
and other colleagues from Harvard Medical School
9:59
identified GLP1 as one of
10:02
the products of
10:04
proglucagone. They
10:06
determined that it exists in these two
10:09
active forms, both of which are port
10:12
to insulantropic
10:15
agents. I think that's agents that respond
10:18
to or need to respond to insulin. But like
10:22
that's a lot of science mumbo jumbo, right?
10:25
And I acknowledge I just went on a science mumbo
10:28
jumbo jumbo. Mumbo jumbo.
10:31
But so what, what does this bad boy
10:34
do exactly? Like what is this thing? I
10:36
mean we got like medical history
10:39
lesson and a chemistry lesson all wrapped up
10:42
in the first 10 minutes of this episode and you've barely even
10:45
talked about the bathroom.
10:48
Weren't trying to be doctors here.
10:52
What's this even, what's this got to do with anything? So
10:55
the scientists found that GLP1 could
10:58
stimulate glucose dependent
11:00
insulin release from pancreatic beta
11:03
cells, a key function in
11:05
maintaining blood glucose levels.
11:09
GLP1
11:11
delays gastric empty,
11:15
which usually results
11:18
in you taking a poo and acts on the
11:21
brain to promote satiaiety and reduce
11:24
appetite. So this
11:27
peptide, GLP1
11:30
is found to be able to reduce
11:33
your appetite and slow
11:36
the rate by which you have to drop. A Chaz
11:39
Royale could be helpful.
11:42
Seems unhelpful to me. If I don't drop,
11:45
if I'm ir, regul it. Like I'm pretty regular guy,
11:48
I stay pretty regular. I'm not going to lie about it.
11:52
If I get off on my shazz schedule,
11:55
I know it like I know
11:57
it. And so it's
12:00
important to me to make sure that my shazz schedule
12:03
stays pretty regular. But
12:06
GLP1 delays gastric empty,
12:08
empty. And somehow
12:11
they've also found that this peptide,
12:14
this hormone peptide, I don't even
12:17
know, I'm not a scientist. I don't understand what freaking
12:20
peptide is. Like I have a game or there is
12:23
a game, I don't know if I have it. I have to go check my very good board
12:26
game wall. But there's a game called Peptide. I
12:29
assume it has something to do with that.
12:32
But somehow they found that this thing can
12:35
also be good for your heart. It improves
12:38
cardiovascular function and may
12:41
have other protective effects. Problem
12:43
is this peptide,
12:46
GLP1, it's like a two minute half
12:49
life, meaning if you are to
12:52
introduce it to the system,
12:55
if you do it orally, like if you snack it down,
12:58
if you GLP1 straight down the
13:01
topside mouth hole in
13:04
two minutes it's going to be rendered completely
13:06
ineffective. You can't do it orally.
13:13
And so they went looking for something a little
13:16
more stable.
13:19
Just like them teenagers that are dating, you know what I'm saying? They're looking
13:22
for something a little more stable. Early studies
13:25
using synthetic GLP1
13:28
showed promising results
13:30
however in improving blood
13:33
glucose control in individuals with type 2
13:35
diabetes. So they needed this
13:38
thing to resist
13:42
degrading that happens within the body. So if
13:45
you put this peptide in, it
13:48
is going to naturally degrade and it
13:51
degrades quick like two minutes. And so
13:54
they're trying to figure out a way and they began to work
13:57
on synthetic versions of
13:59
GLP1 that would have a greater half
14:02
life and maybe be able to be introduced in different
14:05
ways.
14:08
The GLP1 receptor
14:11
agonists, I don't know what that means, um, such
14:14
as xenotide, are introduced in the
14:17
2000s. Novo Nordisk,
14:20
a Danish pharmaceutical company, began
14:23
to work on semagglutide in the
14:25
2000s. If you're looking for a
14:28
good name for your baby, if you find
14:31
yourself suddenly or otherwise in the
14:34
market for a good name for your baby
14:37
or maybe your enemy, look no farther
14:40
than sumaagglutide. Sumagglutide
14:43
was designed as a modified
14:45
GLP1 analog with an
14:48
extended half life, meaning it lasts longer once
14:51
it's introduced to this system of
14:54
about one week. This was
14:56
achieved by substituting specific. It's all
14:59
chemistry, you chemistry, wemistry,
15:02
just friggin Bill Nye the science guy thing. Out of this
15:05
medication they added a
15:08
fatty acid side chain to enhance
15:10
binding. I don't even know,
15:13
it's a bunch of pharmaceutical mumbo jumbo.
15:16
But Novo Nordisck
15:19
conducted extensive preclinical
15:22
studies followed by clinical trials
15:25
to establish semaglutides
15:28
safety and uh, efficacy.
15:32
In 2017 this
15:34
drugmaglutide gained
15:36
approval by the FDA to treat
15:39
type 2 diabetes.
15:44
It was introduced as a once
15:47
weekly injectable treatment, a uh,
15:50
convenient option compared to the daily
15:52
injections. Nowadays similar
15:55
drugs are not only used to treat type
15:58
2 diabetes.
16:05
Somaglutide and other similar drugs
16:08
began to be explored for their benefits in
16:11
treating obesity. Observations
16:14
from diabetes Trials showed that
16:16
semaglutide also led to significant weight
16:19
loss. Novo Nordisk initiated
16:22
trials to study higher doses of
16:24
somaglutrid in treating
16:27
obesity. So
16:30
you know, you just give them the shot,
16:33
make them skinnier. Clinical trials for
16:36
obesity began in 2021 where they
16:39
showed they can lower body weight when
16:41
paired with lifestyle changes. That uh,
16:44
lifestyle changes seems to be pretty important.
16:47
Like if I'm
16:49
sumaggluting myself on the daily but
16:52
I'm still eating like two to seven pieces of
16:55
pizza for lunch
16:58
and I'm just goblin down sugar drinks
17:01
and I refuse to exercise in any
17:04
way, I have a feeling it's not going to have
17:07
the accomplished effect. I think that lifestyle change
17:10
is pretty important to this situation.
17:13
Those lifestyle changes like
17:17
they're important. That's what I'm saying. But the
17:20
drug gained approval, Semaglutide and others, uh,
17:23
it gained approval for weight loss in
17:25
2021 under the brand name Wegoi
17:28
for chronic weight management in adults with
17:31
obesity or overweight and at least
17:34
one weight related condition such as hypertension
17:37
or uh, dyslipidemia. I don't know.
17:40
In other words if they deemed that a
17:42
person is big enough to where
17:45
they're going to have health complications either now or down the
17:48
line they would, we would prescribe them
17:51
Wagoi. It is a fat loss
17:54
drug. A weight loss drug. Sorry I can't weight loss.
17:57
But another similar drug,
18:00
Ozempic took on the
18:03
role of the diabetes management while
18:05
Wagoi was more the weight loss
18:08
drug. These are still
18:10
injections and researchers are
18:13
exploring oral formulations already approved
18:16
as Ribosis and investigating
18:18
Semaglutide for other potential indications such as non
18:21
alcoholics. They can't say that word, don't know
18:24
it. But
18:26
Ozempicmalutide gained
18:29
a significant popularity
18:32
in the last few years as a weight
18:34
loss drug due to its
18:37
remarkable effectiveness, its mechanism
18:40
of action and the growing demand for safe
18:43
and effective treatments for obesity.
18:45
Apparently exercise,
18:48
dieting and self control
18:51
just won't cut it. Here uh, are the
18:53
primary reasons for Ozempics
18:56
popularity. First of
18:58
all Ozempic had exceptional
19:01
weight loss results and it could
19:04
also treat diabetes which is this type 2
19:07
diabetes is often a condition that
19:10
they see that runs like side by side with
19:13
obesity. This was
19:15
also related to a new view of obesity
19:18
as being a quote medical
19:21
condition. Now I'm
19:24
going to say something. I'm not a skinny
19:26
person, I'm full
19:29
bodied as the kids say. I'm a
19:32
size 2x. I understand the
19:35
level of fat kid. I have achieved. But here's the
19:38
deal. I am not
19:40
fat because I have a medical problem called
19:43
obesity. I'm fat
19:46
because I ate, again, a very
19:49
sloppy meatball sub
19:51
sandwich, and within the hour
19:54
purchased a large shamrock
19:57
shake, which I shared with my family. But
20:00
I did do it. Do you know what I'm saying?
20:03
Like, I'm not blaming a medical
20:06
condition for the fact that I like Oreos.
20:09
I'm not blaming a medical condition for the fact
20:12
that video games are more fun
20:15
than exercising. It's just true.
20:18
And so it has nothing to do with me
20:21
thoroughly enjoying pizza and ice cream. It's a medical problem. That's
20:24
pretty much what these people are trying to say. But
20:26
Ozempic also got a lot of press. Even though
20:29
there were alternatives out there,
20:32
social media and other celebrity
20:34
endorsements really drove
20:36
Ozempic'popularity way, way up.
20:41
Another reason that people point to
20:43
Ozempic'popularity was the global pandemic.
20:46
This thing called the novel coronavirus,
20:49
uh, uh, echo chamber, in which
20:52
men and women, but like, kind of like man,
20:55
decided to really hunker down and start podcasts. You
20:58
know, it's just weird. It's a weird
21:00
phenomenon. It's weird. I've seen a lot of people wearing
21:03
masks again recently. And I'm not here to make a comment about
21:06
the masks, but it is kind of
21:09
traumatizing when I see that. And people are going to hear that and
21:12
like, shut up. Yes, as you should.
21:15
But my thing is like, the whole mask
21:18
thing was kind of hellish to me. It was
21:21
very awful. I.
21:24
The minute that, oh, I remember
21:27
the day that they lifted the MAS mandate, and
21:29
I was like, you'll never be able to put it back on.
21:33
You got me. Fool me once, shame on. Shame on
21:36
me or fame on you or whatever. And
21:39
you're not gonna fool me twice on this. Like,
21:43
uh, it's just an unbearably awful experience.
21:46
But here we are. We must soldier forth.
21:49
But the global pandemic, the novel coronavirus,
21:52
caused a huge spike in profit from the pharmaceutical
21:55
company. It's weird how that worked. It's weird
21:58
how as we directly, you
22:00
know, were pushing
22:04
this idea of a need for a vaccine, we were also
22:07
making wooy bucks off of that
22:09
vaccine. It's fascinating to me, you know, I don't know if
22:12
there could possibly any collusion or like,
22:15
anybody that was like, pushing an agenda in order to make a
22:18
trainload of money. Fat shot.
22:21
Uh, also it's considered like.
22:24
So in this, they, they
22:26
began to, as, as the coronavirus
22:30
pandemic ended they needed, they had
22:32
these new profit margins that were kind of unheard of.
22:36
Like, how do we meet these profit mar. Like how do we, how do
22:39
we meet these, these profit expectations
22:41
again? And so they began to push
22:44
Ozempic as a fat loss, weight loss drug,
22:48
uh, in order to drive up some sales, uh,
22:51
some profit margins on, on these companies, pharmaceutical
22:54
companies. Also, because the
22:57
procedure and the use of this medication can be considered
23:00
medical, a lot of it is covered by
23:02
insurance. As we discussed,
23:05
Ozempic and other similar drugs take a
23:08
significant role in your bathroom.
23:11
They come up a lot there. They're going to affect you
23:14
when you get in the zone. It should be
23:17
noted if you're looking to Ozempic for weight
23:20
loss or blood sugar regulation and you're concerned
23:23
about the bathroom, should be aware of a number of things.
23:26
Before I continue, another thing you should be aware of
23:29
is that I'm not a doctor. I've never been to medical
23:32
school. I don't even,
23:35
like, I barely go to the
23:37
doctor to be checked up.
23:40
And so don't take anything that I tell you for medical
23:43
advice. This is explicitly not medical advice and
23:46
nothing in this episode has been.
23:49
But you should be aware if
23:52
you're looking toward Ozempic or other similar
23:54
drugs for weight loss control,
23:57
about a number of ways that it is reported to affect you
24:00
in the bathroom. Now,
24:04
depending on where you look, there are
24:07
reports that say Ozempic can cause both
24:09
diarrhea
24:12
and somehow
24:15
constipation. And, uh, it's a baffling phenomenon.
24:18
Truly, these drugs that have
24:21
both diarrhea and constipation as a side
24:24
effect always throw me for a loop because like
24:27
in my brain
24:29
diarrhea and
24:31
constipation are like the opposites.
24:35
And in my brain it's difficult to have the opposites at
24:38
the same time. Like you're either plugged up or it's rocketing through
24:41
you. I'IT'S usually rocketing
24:44
through me. You know what I'm saying? It's flying right through
24:46
me. It is noted that you can also
24:49
experience nausea and vomiting from Ozempic.
24:52
Those two are a no fly for me. If
24:55
a medication is non necessary, like
24:58
if it is to treat something that I don't need
25:01
to be treated and it causes nausea and
25:03
vomiting. I don't know about that. Like
25:06
I might be a hard skip on it. That's just me.
25:11
So about 8% it says of people
25:14
who have taken Ozempic experience
25:17
diarrhea. And there's
25:20
a number of sources that say that if you avoid
25:23
fat Rich foods and sugary drinks, it can help
25:26
keep the diarrhea down. And that's because
25:28
it's just passing that stuff through. It's not trying
25:31
to break it down. It's just moving along the way.
25:35
In some cases, it can be severe enough diarrhea
25:38
that you elect to stop taking the medication that
25:41
is reported to be a thing to happen. Some people,
25:44
the squirts get so bad that they're like, I'm
25:46
done. I'm done ozempicking
25:49
myself. But in most cases, the
25:51
runs would go away on their own. In
25:54
fact, if 8% of people
25:57
who use Ozempic experience d, which is not
25:59
nothing. I mean, imagine if you went to
26:02
McDonald's and they gave you a bag of food and they said,
26:05
hi, 8% of our food is going to give
26:08
you flaming, raging diarrhea, Would you
26:11
do it? Would you still eat it?
26:14
I know I would. I would eat it
26:17
and then I would get the pupils
26:21
who have decided they're not going to eat it, and I would eat
26:23
theirs. But if
26:26
8% of this population
26:29
experience diarrhea, GoodRx
26:32
reports that 4% of those
26:35
quit taking the medication due to
26:38
rigorous diarrhea. And I want to
26:41
know, like,
26:44
that's actually a lot. Like
26:46
4% of people are like, the
26:49
diarrhea has overcome me so much. The
26:52
wild spray is more than I can handle.
26:55
Usually the diarrhea will last
26:58
for three days to a week. As your body adjusts,
27:01
you'll likely be experiencing diarrhea.
27:04
Ozempic does this because it changes
27:07
the way your body absorbs nutrients
27:10
and impacts how quickly things move
27:13
down the digestive tract.
27:16
What's even more wild is on Ozempic, many
27:19
people experience again both diarrhea
27:22
and constipation at the same time.
27:25
When this happens, it can result in
27:28
something fun. A phrase which is
27:30
haunting to me. And we all
27:33
hoped to never have to face
27:36
a phrase called overflow
27:38
diarrhea. Help us, Father, for we have
27:41
strayed far from you. Overflow
27:44
diarrhea. Dear Lord,
27:46
just, just help us.
27:50
And if the idea of overflow diarrhea isn't
27:53
scary enough, in these cases, the overflow
27:56
diarrhea is happening in what could possibly
27:58
be the worst place for
28:01
overflow diarrhea to happen Inside of
28:04
your body, in your colon and digestive
28:07
tract. What happens is
28:10
you get constipated and the poo
28:12
sets up and it's like it just
28:15
hardens right there inside you just
28:18
smashed, just doink,
28:20
just really clogged up the pen
28:23
down in there. Then as the
28:26
Ozempic makes the diarrhea run wild.
28:29
It runs into the poop plug
28:32
mid tr mid system and it
28:35
begins, because it cannot pass through, it begins
28:37
to eek out the edges of the turd log
28:40
that is still in the system. It's so fun.
28:43
Just a seepy turd log.
28:46
Other reports state that it affects urination,
28:50
but the correlation is not as strong to
28:52
speak to whether this is directly related to the
28:55
use of Ozempic or not.
28:59
And all of these things beg the question,
29:02
the rapid fat loss, the way it affects your
29:05
bathroomoming, the trouble with constipation and
29:08
diarrhea, uh, all these
29:11
things asked is
29:14
is it safe? And
29:17
the answer is sort of.
29:21
Ozempic and other similar drugs are
29:23
FDA approved for type 2 diabetes.
29:27
So as of the point of this record, it's
29:30
not technically approved as a
29:33
weight loss drug. Now
29:36
often it will still be used as a weight loss drug and
29:39
they'll say well you know, we're
29:42
treating pre type 2 diabetes by doing
29:44
this. Weight loss is
29:47
a side effect of Ozempic
29:52
and cocaine, so there's that.
29:55
It's not recommended for weight loss. But I'm not a doctor and this
29:58
isn't medical advice so talk to your doctor
30:00
if you want to shed some pounds quick. I guess you could
30:03
stab yourself in the tummy with thosezempic. I mean
30:06
it seems like it would work. It's worked for lots of people.
30:11
Talk to your doctor in treating type 2
30:14
diabetes which can develop into life altering or
30:16
problematic changes. It has side effects
30:19
which include the possibilities of developing
30:22
thyroid tumors and causing
30:24
pancreatitis. My mom had pancreatitis
30:27
when I was in school and I remember that
30:30
experience being pretty awful for her.
30:32
Like pretty awful.
30:35
It's not a miracle shot that's going to make you
30:38
skinny, but it will, except
30:41
for it comes with some side effects.
30:43
Impossible ongoing problems for the person who
30:46
uses it.
30:49
I'm fat. Hello, it's
30:52
me. The diary of a chunky kid.
30:57
And as a bigger guy I'm convinced
31:00
that the path forward is found
31:03
not in Ozempic and taking
31:06
these tummy injections and
31:09
trying to lose weight via a uh,
31:12
medication, but that the path
31:14
forward comes through, for lack of a better
31:17
way of saying it, trying to eat better,
31:21
eat smarter and working harder.
31:24
It's the best path forward for
31:27
losing weight. But if you
31:29
want to tummy jab yourself with some Ozempic and
31:32
get strange leaky gut,
31:35
constipation, diarrhea, you just go right
31:38
ahead and tell me your experience.
