Highly Successful Weight Loss Drug Semaglutide Explained

[madman]

A transcript of this podcast and more information about Tom Wadden is available on the website of the Duke World Food Policy Center at https://wfpc.sanford.duke.edu/podcast...

Much attention has been paid recently in both scientific circles and in the media to a drug for weight loss newly approved by the FDA. A flurry of articles in the media hailed this drug as a breakthrough. This was prompted by the publication of a landmark article in the New England Journal of Medicine addressing the impact of this medication in a large clinical trial. Today's guest is one of the authors of that paper. Another flurry of media attention occurred as the drug became available, with news that supply couldn't keep up with demand. Dr. Thomas Wadden is the Albert J. Stunkard Professor and former Director of the Center for Weight and Eating Disorders at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He is one of the most highly regarded experts on treatments for obesity, having done some of the most important research on very-low-calorie diets, a variety of medications, bariatric surgery, intervention in primary care settings, and more.

Has it been reported the most cost effective options out there for Semaglutide or Liraglutide? I would be very interested in this.

Thank you

Semaglutide is now compounded, so it’s cheaper.

My wife, with Type 2 diabetes and not obese or even overweight, was prescribed the oral version, Rybelsus, a few months ago. After 4 or 5 days, she developed a migraine type headache, nausea/vomiting, loose stools, fatigue and dehydration. It was 4 days before she recovered. She's now on Tresiba insulin injections, along with her metformin and glipizide.

My wife started on Semaglutide in May of this year. She was more than 50 lbs overweight and was never into exercise. At first I didn't think it was working because she had absolutely no sides and seemed to be eating whatever she wanted. Since then she has lost almost 25 lbs and still dropping about a pound/week. She was unable to get a refill recently due to 'global supply issues' so I ordered a few vials from Peptide Science. Relatively inexpensive, but of course not as good a price as if it went through insurance.

That's excellent! As we all agree, everyone is different and some are prone to side effects from many drugs. That's me and that's my wife.

Can you guide me to a source? The cheapest I have seen it is $275 (+ overnight shipping) for 3ml. Would love to be able to have a more cost effective option.

Thank you

What Remi Bader didn't do is change her life style behaviors. All the males and females I have known that got on diets of any kind usually gained back even more weight after they stopped their diet. Losing weight always need to include lifestyle change including exercise and food choice modifications.


Anyone that admits binge eating has a pretty bad eating disorder which is a serious mental health issue. Remi Bader needs to be evaluated by a psychological, as well a dietary and medical team to start solving some of her issues. She apparenty has some serious mental issues that she is trying to medicate with food.

Ozampic is not a permanent change, and I would hope that anyone with common sense would understand this. But there lies the problem. I guess now Remi Bader can be a plus size model and just be comfortable with being fat. That seems to be accepted now in the media.

What I was trying to emphasize:

Weight regain and cardiometabolic effects after withdrawal of semaglutide: The STEP 1 trial extension - PubMed

One year after withdrawal of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide 2.4 mg and lifestyle intervention, participants regained two-thirds of their prior weight loss, with similar changes in cardiometabolic variables. Findings confirm the chronicity of obesity and suggest ongoing treatment is...

I think they meant the end of your wallet. Everyone on the software subscription model for their pharma deficiencies. Massive semaglutide deficiency....how about that? Who would have thought?

Gladly, semaglutide is now compounded at a much lower cost.

Great but I will take a hard pass. Exergy balance tells you only sustainable method is to put in the hard work and suffering. Takes time.
