Ozempic

“Like I knew what was happening. Obviously, I was tracking whatever, and I felt the energy, all those things you're saying. But I was like, and we joke about it tongue-in-cheek in here, but I get the whole Ozempic face because I had that. It didn't look good. It looks different than how I look right now.”

“I'm at 120 pounds. That's amazing. Congratulations. What did you do? Did you do the Ozempic or did you do it all naturale? No, I quit drinking first. So I think I went from like... 100% quit drinking? Yeah, yeah. Do you miss it? No. It wasn't my bag. It turns out that's not the drug for me.”

“Well, technically you're not lying, but you're lying. You're an Ozempic motherfucker. You know what you're doing. Yeah. It's- Embarrassing. You know, I always feel like when you talk about any issue, a lot of it just comes down to education.”

“now they're probably more widely known for their weight loss capacity in the present day. But they started off as diabetes treatment. My understanding is that the GLP-1 drugs, so Ozempic, Wegovy, and on and on, that they increase levels of GLP-1 a thousand-fold more than we ever experience now.”

“So the drugs would get into the brain, activate receptors. Whether these newer generation of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wagovi are getting into the brain, it's less clear. Really? Again, controversial. So some studies will, mostly preclinical, exclusively preclinical, will tag the peptides with a fluorescent molecule and try to look at where it accumulates in the brain.”

“Obviously, GLP1s, testosterone, what else were we talking about for a long time? You've brought up GLP1s kind of before they even got to market, before Ozempic ever got to market, TRT businesses, and you were toying around with the idea of like, hey, I really believe there's a big business to be built here.”

“It's sprinting for the finish in an attempt to try and get rid of all of that stock. Yeah, exactly. Wow. But it's so crazy that it's just like a lack of knowledge because would most people say that Ozempic is a peptide? They wouldn't know that it is.”

“So if you're using an. So, yeah, you were using Ozempic, not Wegovy. You were still using... We used them both, actually. We did. Whatever we could get. Remember, they were in short supply. And to the regulator's credit, they recognized all of this and were willing to allow us to substitute interchangeably Ozempic for Wegovy.”

“as many as 20% of people 18 and older have taken or are currently taking a GLP or either, you know, Ozempic, Mounjaro, soon Retatrutude will be out to market. What's your thought on these compounds?”

“There are. I think that muscle loss honestly is one of the bigger ones, right? And it might just be subtle, like Ozempic face, ozempic bot, right? You're losing some muscle in places where it's noticeable. Other people actually truly develop sarcopenia, I think, right? Where you have significant loss of muscle.”

“I'm kind of sensing a theme here, right? Like we have these drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, et cetera, that blasted GLPs through the roof, helped a lot of people that need help, but there were a lot of side effect issues.”

“If anything, body, body dysmorphia is on the rise, right? And we have some of these things like Ozempic and semaglutide and stuff like that. Really scary. A lot of people don't realize. I'm going off, off. Oh, dude. I'm fucking loving this. You're cooking. Keep going.”

“I think we sort of feel it. We see evidence of it in mental health. But we were talking about Ozempic. So, basically, what happened is up until now, you've had to work to get something, right? And along comes semaglutide and these GLP-1 agonists.”

“Yeah. I know that I lost some muscle when I was just losing weight with those Ozempic or whatever it was, and so I know I could get more, and I know that the whole secret to me getting to be 80 and still mobile is because of this leg strength.”

“Insurance will cover 299 but not 301. Well, does the TRT create the same problem that Ozempic does? Like people are pharmacologically solving a problem that lifestyles should have partially fixed as an artificial solution to an artificial problem.”

“Well, do you want to be in the experiment or out of the experiment? You want to be in the control group or you want to be in the experimental group? Well, for somebody who has like serious obesity issues, the tirzepatides and Mounjaros and Ozempics and retatrutide could potentially save their life. Okay. Vision loss is a serious consideration.”

“Come on in. You know, it's. Meanwhile, Victoria's Secret is up 300% Eurony, the share price, because of Ozempic. I found this out yesterday. What? 300% increase. Because of Ozempic?”

“300% increase your on your hot little stick figures. That's what's happening, dude. Ozempic's a fucking hell of a drug. Here's another thing I found out that women are getting bridal dresses fitted, but they're having to predict where their weight is going to come into land.”

“or whatever. And because they're scared that they're going to end up getting these refunds, they're having to sign waivers. I think the future implications of Ozempic on economy, consumption, like think about what most of consumerism is. It's not stuff that people need.”

“The fuck are you saying? Yeah, it's not risk-free. Same with ED drugs. Here it goes. Recent studies suggest that a potential rare link between GLP-1 receptor agonist medication such as Ozempic, Wegovy, blah, blah, blah, and a condition called non-arteritic anterior, what's that word?”

“what I actually said about saying, I think that Ozempic is more pushed back against by people who are in shape than people who are out of shape because it derogates the signal of, I got here naturally and there is a sense that that is somehow superior, that is somehow better.”

“About two decades ago, researchers figured out how to mimic that signal pharmacologically. The first generation of these drugs, semaglutide, sold as Ozempic and Wegovy, targeted the GLP-1 receptor alone, a single agonist, one signal, and the results were significant.”

“And human beings are of the kind that I want a quick fix for everything, right? Ozempic. How about some Ozempic? Is this, what is this, GLP? Yeah, yeah. GLP one. Okay. We don't, you know, first of all, we haven't done any research yet to know where a GLP would put you on the chart.”

“And it hasn't been done yet. I don't I haven't seen any papers coming out. OK, so we'll keep the Ozempic off the table. But you're saying exercise number three. So I've got I've got education. Kill the food deserts so people can get healthy food. Yeah. Stay away from the ultra processed stuff. Number three, exercise.”

“OK? What's a GLP-1? Yeah. The GLP-1s are the weight loss drugs that everybody's talking about. Ozempic, Mounjaro, all the celebrities are on these injections that are making them lose tons of weight. We are starting to look at these drugs in women, but they're not, nobody's looking at it for sexual health.”

“what's for lack of a better word, better example. Let's use GLP-1s. All right. GLP-1s, nobody heard about Ozempic and Wegovy just a decade ago. Right. Now, all of a sudden, it's a multi-trillion dollar industry. It's gigantic. There's something like 39 million Americans”

“Reditrutide and dead ass. They should have, like, a one-stop shop. Yeah, now they're saying Ozempic eats up your bones. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, definitely. So everybody's. Everybody's fucked because they've been taking it. Well, it's not just that. It also kills your desire.”

“Yeah, it also changes your whole face, right? Oh, yeah. Eats up all your fat from your face. Yeah. Yeah, that's a problem, especially for ladies as they get older. Like, the more fat you have on your face, the better you look. Like, when your skin gets real thin and starts draping over your bones, like, you know, that doesn't look healthy.”
