Will Ozempic Make You Go Blind?
Manage episode 429484059 series 3531512
Episode 34 of The Pound of Cure Weight Loss Podcast is titled, Will Ozempic Make You Go Blind? The title comes from our In the News segment, where we cover an article from The Hill titled, Ozempic/Wegovy May be Linked to Rare Form of Blindness. If you’re taking this medication, this is probably a very scary headline. And, of course, it’s meant to be so that you click through. So, what is the science behind the headline? Tune in to find out!
We are very excited to bring you this week’s Patient Story segment because we are talking to Dave. You may know him as The Man on Mounjaro or from his podcast, On the Pen. I’ve talked about him, previously, on the podcast because he is a fountain of knowledge on all the weight loss medications in the pipeline. He is going to share his story with you and offer a 1, 3, and 5-year outlook on the future of obesity medications.
In our Nutrition segment, Zoe dives deeper into vegan health halo’s. Some stores are especially good at marketing and packaging products to make them appear healthy. But in reality, they are just as processed and sugary as their non-vegan counterparts.
Finally, we answer 3 of our listeners questions including, alcohol intake after a gastric bypass, tips for fixing your metabolism while recovering from Anorexia, and what to do if you miss a dose of Ozempic.
