“Think about this – more than half of women in the U.S. (61%) say they want to lose weight.1
Many of them seek to live their lives without physical health and fitness being an issue.
Some worry about how others perceive them based on their appearance.
And then there are those who want to go to the doctor and discuss their concerns without getting the weight speech,” said Dr. Theresa Bell, MD in Endocrinology.
Given these motivations, the expert wasn’t surprised by this Ozempic trend at all.
Instead, she’s worried about so many folks using it off-label.
“First, it’s a diabetes drug, which is not FDA-approved for weight loss.
Second, people already report serious side effects, which I will discuss in just a moment.
Third, I did a lot of research to understand how exactly Ozempic works for weight loss.
And what I found is that there’s another, safe, non-medication way to help shed pounds with no severe side effects,” she said.
The expert explained that this drug was initially created to lower blood sugar and A1C in people with type 2 diabetes.
“Now, the way Ozempic works is by mimicking GLP-1 hormone, which does three things:
And the latter is exactly what causes weight loss,” said Dr. Bell.
“See, when Ozempic slows down your digestion, you no longer eat as much as you used to.
As a result, you lose weight without any hunger or cravings because you always feel full.
And it might seem like nothing could go wrong,” explained the doctor.
“Unfortunately, there’s a massive surge of Ozempic users sharing serious consequences of taking this drug,” the expert expressed her concern.
And indeed, Dr. Bell is right because the internet is now full of horrible stories like these:
“I took this drug for one week, and I’m not kidding when I say it was the most miserable, sickest I’ve ever felt. I can’t understand any healthy person taking it to get thin.”
“The side effects came hard, fast, and strong. If I ate more than half a sandwich, I would become so bloated that I was burping constantly.”
“Within 4 hours of the first dose, non-stop projectile vomiting and diarrhea.”
“Now, what’s worse is that along with these short-term side effects, Ozempic may also cause hypoglycemia, kidney failure, and cancer.3
But even if there weren’t any of them, would you use a diabetes drug indefinitely?
Because when you stop taking Ozempic, hunger and cravings return, and so does the weight,” the expert explained.
“I was surprised to see how many recent studies found probiotic strains to promote weight loss through GLP-1.4,5,6,7
But instead of mimicking this hormone, they trigger its natural secretion.
And there are no typical Ozempic side effects because GLP-1 doesn’t go above healthy levels this way,” said Dr. Bell.
According to new research, probiotic strains work so well because they promote GLP-1 secretion both directly and indirectly.5,8
However, no probiotic supplement is created equally.
That’s why only a tiny fraction of those who use them experience significant weight loss.
“See, to lose several pounds, taking any off-the-shelf supplement is not enough.
There must be specific probiotic strains that promote GLP-1 both directly and indirectly.
And they have to pass through the digestive tract in sufficient quantities.
That’s why choosing the right probiotic supplement is so important,” said the expert.
“It is no secret that people are now coming to endocrinologists asking for Ozempic off-label.
But rather than saying no, I always explain its side effects.
I then suggest Bioma as a safe alternative instead,” said Dr. Bell.
And according to the expert, none of her patients complained that they didn’t lose weight.
Dr. Bell believes it’s because she set strict criteria when looking for an alternative way to promote GLP-1.
“First, there had to be probiotic strains that promote GLP-1 secretion directly and indirectly.
Second, these strains had to be in sufficient quantities.
Third, the delivery system had to ensure they could pass through the stomach intact.
Honestly, there were only a few options, and Bioma clearly stood out.
Because it contains prebiotic fibers, probiotic strains, and postbiotic enzymes, all delivered in a targeted-release capsule.
In other words, Bioma had everything I was looking for,” said the expert.
But Dr. Bell added that there’s actually one “side effect.”
“The women I convinced to take Bioma instead of Ozempic quickly noticed something they weren’t expecting.
Along with losing weight, they also reported improved digestion, reduced bloating, and way less gut discomfort.
Which is quite the opposite of what most experience with Ozempic right away,” Dr. Bell concluded.
