GLP-1 Truths! - What They Don’t Tell You About Ozempic & Keto

Thinking about taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound -- or already taking one of these? Wondering about combining them with a keto diet? In this video, I break down what these GLP-1 and GIP medications are, how they work – and why they may or may not work for YOU the way you expect. 🤔 Most people don’t realize these drugs aren’t new. They were first developed for type 2 diabetes long before they became “weight-loss injections.” And they’re not magic; they’re just extra-strong versions of hormones your own body already makes. I’ll explain what GLP-1 and GIP actually do, why these medications have such long half-lives, and why they have to be injected rather than swallowed. 💉 I’ll also walk you through the effects people experience: reduced appetite, slower stomach emptying, lower blood sugar, improved insulin sensitivity, and even unexpected reductions in addictive or compulsive behaviors. But I’ll also talk honestly about the downsides: nausea, constipation, gastroparesis, and the very real issue of muscle loss. Most importantly, I’ll show you how keto and GLP-1 medications overlap, where they complement each other, and what you must do to protect muscle, preserve your metabolism, and support long-term health if you use them. Everything from protein intake, to resistance training, to fiber and fat intake – it’s all here. 💪🥩🏋🏻‍♀️ And if you’re someone who doesn’t respond well, struggles with side effects, or had to stop the medication because of cost or availability, you are not broken. 💛 I’ll explain why “non-responders” exist and why habits matter more than the drugs themselves. These medications can act like “training wheels” – but it’s the habits you establish while taking them that create long-term success when you take the training wheels off. Whether you're on Ozempic or considering starting Mounjaro or another of these meds, or trying to understand how keto fits into all this, this video will give you clear, honest, hype-free information so you can make the best choices for your health. #ozempic #mounjaro #wegovy #zepbound #glp1 #keto #lowcarb #ketodiet #weightlossjourney #insulinresistance #metabolichealth #amyberger VIDEOS MENTIONED 👉Thoughts on Weight Loss Drugs:    • Thoughts On Weight Loss Drugs   👉 In Defense of Vegetables:    • In Defense of Vegetables - 6 Reasons to Ea...   KETO CONSULTATIONS Need personalized help with keto?
