<p><strong>Episode 23:8 Ozempic and Wegovy - What You Don’t Know CAN Hurt You</strong></p> <p>Want to have some fun?</p> <p>Go up to a stranger and ask them this question:</p> <p>“Did you know that Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist?”</p> <p>Needless to say, they will have no idea what you’re talking about.</p> <p>For that reason, perhaps you should ask them this question instead:</p> <p>“Have you ever heard of the drug Ozempic?”</p> <p>There’s a really good chance they’ll say “Yes.”</p> <p>Why?</p> <p>Because Ozempic, a drug used for Type 2 Diabetes, is THE hottest drug on the market right now.</p> <p>-  So hot that it’s in short supply.</p> <p>So hot that the hashtag “Ozempic” has been viewed over 300 million times on Tiktok.</p> <p>So hot that thousands upon thousands of people are taking it without realizing what it is. </p> <p>You see, Ozempic IS Semaglutide.</p> <p>And Semaglutide, as you know from the “odd” question above is a “glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist.”</p> <p>On this week’s episode we explain WHAT that means… and WHY it’s important.</p> <p>That is, we explain what a “glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist” is… how it works… the potential dangers… and why it’s in such high demand.</p> <p>We also discuss how Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Ozempic, was able to create a brand new drug, Wegovy, simply by taking Ozempic and adding more Semaglutide to it.</p> <p>Yes, Wegovy is just higher strength Ozempic.</p> <p>However, it is NOT used for managing Diabetes.</p> <p>Instead, Wegovy is prescribed for weight loss… which is why it is so popular.</p> <p>Not only that, but Novo Nordisk was able to get the FDA to approve Wegovy for adults… and KIDS!!!</p> <p>This is scary as there have been NO long term studies on Wegovy.</p> <p>No way to determine the long term damage it might do to a person’s digestive system, hormone system, skin, or brain.</p> <p>There’s also no data regarding the long term effectiveness of Wegovy (or Ozempic) for weight loss OR
