Impacts of Semaglutide on Lean Body Mass and Body Fat
Dr. Gush, I need your advice on whether I should take this stuff. I want to know how it affects the pancreas and glucose levels. One downside I've heard is that it can cause weight loss by cutting into lean body mass instead of just body fat. This can be detrimental. Can you shed some light on this, Dr. Gush?

Alright so few medications have made such a stir in the health and wellness space like the drug Ozempic (Semaglutide) has over the past year.
Nearly all of us know someone who we haven’t seen in a while. Then we we do see them we are almost shocked at their appearance. What used to cause us to say, “Oh my gosh! Are you ok?” Now yields responses like, “Oh wow. Are you taking Ozempic?”
So what is this “wonder drug?” Is it all it’s cracked up to be? Is it too good to be true? Have we finally cracked the code in helping people who are severely metabolically challenged?
The short answer is-yes. These peptides are truly remarkable. Disclosure-I have NO incentive to promote these drugs. In fact, let me say at the onset I am NOT a physician. I am just a guy who geeks out on longevity, health and wellness.
