Ozempic: Alternatives, Side Effects, and Benefits | Dr. Michael Greger

Millions are searching for an alternative to Ozempic. Why? Besides cost being an issue, the side effects can be unbearable. Most people only stay on the weight loss drug for two months before stopping. For all the good it does for weight loss, there are a ton of unwanted side effects, including "O face." The good news is that there are natural alternatives to weight-loss drugs that carry none of the same sometimes embarrassing or painful side effects. Dr. Michael Greger joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to talk about the good and bad of Ozempic and other weight loss drugs. Dr. Greger is the author of Ozempic: Risks, Benefits, and Natural Alternatives to GLP-1 Weight-Loss Drugs. Chuck offers his point of view as someone who has lost nearly 300 pounds and kept it off for over 15 years.
