    EP 122: Mastering fat and weight loss without semaglutides (aka Ozempic)

    EP 122: Mastering fat and weight loss without semaglutides (aka Ozempic)

    Nowadays, there’s a LOT of sizzling conversation semaglutides, aka Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro, which are actually intended for people with Type 2 diabetes to help manage blood glucose levels. At the time of this recording, they are not FDA approved for weight loss, but because they have an off-label side effect of weight loss, and have the Hollywood blessing, a lot of people are on the bandwagon. Megastars like Oprah put a spotlight on it in her recent Weight Special on national television. What people don’t really see is that once you start taking these, this is intended to to be a long-term treatment, injected into your body once a week. Now, can we achieve stable blood sugar levels outside of an injection? Yes you can! Over the decade that I have been helping people live a thriving, fitlife – whether through the Daniel Plan that I helped create or my books, programs or talks - I’ve seen it happen thousands of times when lifestyle habits shift. And that’s what we’re going to really unpack today - a sustainable and healthy 'prescription' for weight and fat loss for the long haul. This is an episode you're going to want to save and share. Now grab a seat and pull up to the Chef's table.
