The Skinny on Ozempic

It seems the magic little diet solution has arrived - Ozempic. But let’s be real; science isn’t magic, and diets aren’t fun. So here’s the very straightforward scoop about Ozempic to equip you with the facts to make informed decisions for your health.

Ozempic mimics the hormone GLP-1. This hormone is like the traffic controller of your appetite, slowing down the emptying of your stomach. When there's a surplus of GLP-1, your brain gets the signal that you’re full, reducing your urge to eat. Eat less, and lose some weight. That’s… it.

But losing weight is nuanced and doesn’t necessarily mean you’re improving your metabolic health. So, when you stop taking Ozempic and the levels of GLP-1 in the body return to their normal state, you’re going to gain your regular appetite back. And if you haven’t made any helpful changes to your lifestyle while taking Ozempic, nothing is really changing when it comes to your health.

If your aim is sustainable weight loss, consider the long game. Relying on a drug like Ozempic may alter your natural hormone levels and metabolic functioning, causing your body to get all confused. If you choose to focus on improving your metabolic health instead, you’ll gain lasting results without the need for ongoing medication.

And if you choose to prioritize your metabolic health, remember that the programs at Hoopes Health are here to support you.
