In a recent blog post, functional nutritionist Andrea Nicholson discusses the benefits, risks, and her thoughts on drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, which are GLP-1 agonist medications. These drugs have shown potential for aiding in weight loss and managing Type 2 Diabetes by activating the GLP-1 receptors in the body. While they offer benefits such as weight loss, improved blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and better glucose regulation, there are concerns surrounding their use.

Some of the risks and cautions associated with these medications include their high cost, lack of long-term studies to assess their safety, potential side effects, and risks, uncertain impact on different tissues, limitations compared to a lower carb diet, increased fat cell numbers, potential loss of lean tissue, limited impact on inflammation, toxin load, and nutrient status, and gastrointestinal concerns.

Nicholson emphasizes that while these medications can be helpful in managing weight loss and Type 2 Diabetes, they should be seen as complementary to a comprehensive healing journey that includes proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Many individuals have successfully reversed metabolic disorders without medications by focusing on addressing the root causes through diet, exercise, stress management, and sleep. The decision to use these medications should be made after careful consideration of the individual's health goals and priorities.
