The Hidden Dangers of Pharmaceutical Weight Loss

pharmaceutical weight lossRecently, there are quite a few ads praising the weight loss gotten from injecting a drug into your stomach.   It is referred to as Pharmaceutical Weight Loss.

We’re witnessing a dangerous trend.

People are seeking quick metabolic solutions to weight loss through medications while overlooking the healing potential of whole-body nutrition and lifestyle changes that build a healthy metabolism.

These various drugs being promoted for weight loss are semaglutides.

What is semaglutide?

What is it?  GLP-1, or Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, is a hormone produced in the intestines that plays a key role in glucose metabolism and appetite regulation.

Semaglutides mimics the production of GLP-1.  Thus, semaglutides works by increasing insulin release, lowering the amount of glucagon released, delaying gastric emptying, and reducing appetite.

The Semaglutide Illusion: More Harm Than Healing

Semaglutide represents a pharmaceutical band-aid that masks deeper metabolic dysfunction. While it may produce temporary weight loss, it’s essentially a metabolic smoke screen that fails to address the root causes of weight gain and systemic inflammation.

Know if you Have Insulin Resistance

Insulin is a hormone that prevents sugar from building up too high in your blood. For example, if you consume too many carbs and your blood sugar rises too high, insulin comes in and removes it to help keep the blood sugars at a constant level. Normally, sugar is used as fuel in the body. But, with insulin resistance, sugar is converted into fat. One of the purposes of insulin is to prevent fat-burning and encourage fat-storing. Learn how to test your insulin resistance in this Educational Video  How to Test for Insulin Resistance

There are more ways to measure your insulin resistance, including without a blood test. You can use your waist-height ratio, which you can find out right at home. This is much more accurate than just weighing yourself.
