Ozempic, Obesity & Gut Health: What No One's Telling You

Ozempic and other GLP-1 meds are everywhere right now. But there’s a conversation missing in all the hype…

Most people don’t realize that these meds directly impact digestion- and often not in a good way.

In our latest live video I sat down with two other dietitians and a nutritionist on the Diet vs. Disease team to break down everything you really need to know.

A few key takeaways:

These meds slow down digestion—which is why they curb appetite, but also why they can cause nausea, reflux, and worsen IBS and SIBO.
Rapid weight loss can come with hidden risks: muscle loss, bone density issues, and nutrient deficiencies (especially if you’re not mindful of protein intake).
They’re not a magic fix—long-term success still requires a solid nutrition and lifestyle plan.

The discussion was eye-opening, and if you (or someone you know) is on these meds - or considering them - this is a must-watch.
