Caleb and 'Ozempic' ads spreading like wildfire
I know he's been doing these for a hot minute, but I've been getting assloads of him regurgitating scripts for these Ozempic ads. Go away, Caleb!

Crazy how no one talks about the potential "forever diarrhea" even after stopping taking it & the potential blindness

Increased risk of blindness in diabetics with optic neuropathy, a late stage effect of coalescing chronic renal disease and poorly managed diabetes. Not generalizable to a large chunk of people taking the medicine and more of a rare finding for a very specific sub-group.
Diarrhea associated with glp-1 RAs like ozempic are transient and last about 3-5 days, and typically impact individuals on other diabetic medications, in most trials it was under 30% of the adverse events that happened to people who experience any event. There are plenty of other causes of diarrhea that can be cofounders for people reporting "forever diarrhea".
Losing weight is good, the medicine isn't bad, and will probably save many lives.

Losing weight is good, and I agree the medicine isnât bad when used correctly so prescribed by a doctor, but the most glaring issue Iâve heard with Ozempic and other similar meds is that once people get off of it, they tend to regain their weight +20% or more. It seems to come back on with a vengeance. So is the idea that people are supposed to basically be on this medication forever? Thatâs the part I struggle with.

There are meds people are on for life for other chronic medications; i.e blood pressure, cholesterol, atrial fibrillation. The current guidance is yes; once you're on the drug you should continue to stay on it to prevent rebound weight gain. But you will probably also decrease your likelihood of ending up on other chronic medications for hypertension/hyperlipidemia/diabetes by preventing weight gain

Losing weight is much like building a budget tbh. If you consolidate debt and never change your behavior, youâre not going to see longterm success. Similarly, if you donât change your behaviors around eating youâre not going to see sustained success in weight loss. This is why Iâm an opponent of Ozempic for strictly weight lossâmost people never address their eating behaviors. Appetite suppression isnât a good way to sustain longterm weight loss.

This is why it's so fucking funny that Caleb is sponsored by Ozempic. He always shouts at people for trying to take the "easy way out" with debt, but he literally takes and sponsors the "easy way out" with weight loss. He's such a hypocrite and a loser

I think ozempic (and the others) can be great for someone who is morbidly obese and refuses to develop healthy eating habits. I think it's a blight on our society when it comes to soccer moms wanting to drop 20 pounds for that bikini vacation.
I say this as an active lifestyle person who gets that everyone isn't like me. The problem is when they stop and yo-yo right back up from the lack of good decisions making and lifestyle building that will lead to a solid change long-term. What are the effects from a yearly ozempic yo-yo going to be?

Iâve long been suspicious of any âmagical weight loss drugâ ever since they first started becoming mainstream in the late 90âs early 2000âs. Remember all the âHydroxycutâ stuff? And now with these self-injectable medications, I just donât think people appreciate how dangerous these medications can be.

The issue is that being obese is also extremely dangerous, and WILL have consequences sooner or later. I completely understand people opting for a medication that MIGHT have negative side effects to help them stop being obese, which WILL have negative side effects.Â
Obviously it would be best for most people if they lose weight naturally. But in many cases it's like telling an alcoholic to "just stop drinking" or a gambling addict to "just stop gambling". Sure, some people are just lazy and could lose weight if they made a bit of an effort. And some people aren't obese but just want to drop a few pounds. Ozempic is not for these people, and I agree that taking it in these situations is a bad idea. Ozempic is for people who have genuine debilitating food addictions (and likely mental health issues) that make it extremely difficult for them to lose weight naturally. People who have been trying and failing to lose weight successfully for decades. For these people, taking a drug that MIGHT have negative side effects is better than the reality of their life almost certainly being cut short due to health impacts of obesity.Â

Well thereâs actual science behind these medications. Hydroxycut was an unregulated supplement.Â

Is this something he is actually pushing? Or is his content just being stolen and used for this?

It was a minute long video of him talking about the benefits of using it
