How to Lose 15 pounds in 1 month on Low Dose Wegovy/Ozempic
The glucagon-like polypeptide 1 (GLP 1) neurotransmitter is a molecule that causes insulin to work better, increase insulin receptor density/amount, and slows down gut motility, especially in the stomach, where the pacemeaker of the gastrointestinal tract (GI) reside in a location in the stomach, called the cardia.
The GLP-1 has revolutionized the weight loss/metabolic medicine field, by being a magic pill that causes impresssive weight loss, and is a potent anti-inflammatory mediator. The GLP-1 agonist is akin to a medical version of the gastric bypass Surgery. The GLP-1 family of drugs also centrally causes the inhibition of the reward pathway in the brain, especially the pre-frontal cortex, and the limbic system areas. The side effects usually occur secondary to GLP-1 effects on the gut, such as, nausea, vomiting, gallstones/cholelithiasis/cholecystitis, pancreatitis, stomach paralysis, small bowel paralysis with bowel obstruction, and, ultimately dead gut. The risk ratio for these complication is very small 1.1 % or 0.01 chance, or a 1 patient/client in 100 patients chance of occurring.
Although, there is a 0.01 chance of a side effect happening with this magic pill, the benefits of Ozempic/Wegovy far outweighs any GI tract side effect risk of 1.1%. However, this is still 1 patient too many, and a very tangible/real number.
Adjunctively, the benefits of Ozempic/Wegovy include; decreased mortality relative to decreasing the deadly metabolic syndrome disease due to overweight and obesity epidemic, improvement of heart disease/improved functionality of the heart muscles, a marked reversal of chronic kidney disease, reversal of fatty acid of the liver, and are widely represented in current Empirical studies. Of utmost importance is that a systemic, comprehensive and holistic approach to weight is needed, and as the drug manufacturer opines, the weight loss drugs are adjuncts in overall medical health, and are not a silver bullets. The four pillars of weight loss strategy, that slao allows for a 15 pound weight loss in 1 month is:
1. Nutrition Management (green MIND diet with Probiotics),
2. Stress Management (using You Tube for dialectic behavioral therapy, thought field therapy, hypnotherapy and Reiki),
3. Exerciste Therapy Management (using You Tube for exercsie videos with weights, and resistance bands),
4. Excellent Sleep Hygiene, the last and most impactful weight loss pillar, secondary to the human body mostly healing in the rapid eye movement (REM) phase of the sleep wave spectrum. Thus, poor sleep hygiene results in weight gain, and a persistent high cortisolic resting/ or baseline state.
Consequently, Telemedicine is the only modality of medicine, that is cost effective/affordable, accessible, high quality, and relatable. Telemedicine, also delivers outstanding academic medical care regarding the obesity epidemic, and opioid use disorder epidemic. Regarding this point of view of the medical field, the trifecta of medicine therefore includes the following three pronged approach; Revenue Cycle Management/Billing & Coding, Accounting/Business Administration, and last but not least, the Art and Science of Medicine, where the patient must always experience, “nil non nocere”, that is, first do no harm, or in lay man’s terms, safety.
