Thank you for having me on the channel! One thing I wanted to clarify is that I do support the use of semaglutide in type 2 diabetes AND in people who are obese/overweight with a weight-related condition. Obesity is a chronic, complex disease and it is not uncommon for people struggle to lose weight with diet modifications and exercise alone, so there is certainly a role for medication-assisted weight loss. Though the long-term effects do need to be further studied and side effects exist, in my opinion, the more options we have for treatment the better. The decision to start semaglutide should be an individualized one based on a person's specific potential benefit vs risk - there is no "right" answer for all. When there is a shortage and every dose matters, we need to prioritize those who for which it can be the greatest benefit - which includes both people with type 2 diabetes and people with obesity/overweight and does NOT include people who want to lose a couple pounds to fit into a particular outfit or achieve an "underweight" appearance.

And that's how you introduce women in a professional setting: credentials and expertise first, personal relations second (if at all). It's so refreshing to see so much respect for a fellow professional!

The fact that nobody talks about the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance

The way their faces lit up after he said "my wife" both are glowing with smiles, so adorable.

I am a diabetes patient and have not been able to get my Ozempic since November 22. Thank you for putting this out there for everyone to see.

I am a medical doctor and I am suffering from obesity. Back in November 2022 I decided to embark on a weight loss journey. I have so far lost about 52 lbs. I considered prescribing Ozempic for myself to aid the weight loss but decided against it because of the shortage of Ozempic and the fact that so many diabetic patients have not been able to have access to the medication. It is my conviction that diabetics should be a priority.

I’m happy with my choice not to use Ozempic because I wanted a safe, slow and gradual weight loss and I have been able to achieve that with better diet and exercise. To be completely frank I also saw it as a challenge to be able to lose weight without medication. I also wasn’t too keen on giving myself weekly injections. I also am aware of the potential side effects and figured it would be better to try without Ozempic.

That being said, I don’t think there is anything wrong with using Ozempic to treat obesity as that is also a serious illness. But def not a fan of it being used as a weight loss aid for people who are not overweight.

Thank you for this video, very good info.

I told my doctor I wanted to lose weight and she prescribed this for me. It’s amazing how doctors just want to hand pills out like candy. I’m glad my insurance didn’t approve it, it gave me time to think and I decided to lose weight on my own. There is no magic pill for weight loss. So far I’ve lost 19 pounds, I’m losing about a pound a week but I feel so much better and health is the most important thing. I did it by fasting at least 18 hours daily, reducing carbs and sugar, and exercising 5 times a week. It takes patience and consistency.

I’m so glad she mentioned how a product or medication trend can rob people who really need and require the product.

Love how both your eyes light up at each other's presence. And thank you, Dr. Grand, for addressing the mindset behind the unnecessary use of a medication that benefits others who actually need it. ❤️

[smalta]

She was great! I loved how she touched on body trends in Hollywood, and how as a society we need to love ourselves the way we are. 😊

[frankiefavero]

Thanks for the great video Doc Gary! I was 4kgs overweight and, eating less and moving more, I've lost 10kgs in 3 months with NO Ozempic! Honestly, if you're not diabetic or morbidly obese YOU DON'T NEED IT! It breaks my heart that people who are barely overweight are being prescribed it, there's no need!

[scpropx]

Dr. Grand has the same calm, gentle way of explaining things, that helps with understanding the subject a lot.
Thank you for visiting, Dr. Grand! Please join Dr. Linkov and us more!❤

Lost 30 lbs since Ozempic. I have diabetes type 2 for over 22 years. Doctors have tried many medications and nothing has worked well. At one point my A1C was 16. It is now a 7. My weight is under 200 first time in over 30 years. Ozempic has been a great addition to my medical regime.

[equalityforall]

I like Dr. Gary even more now that he's introduced his wife. She's so professional, but theyalso clearly like each other. He's a lucky man to have a professional woman like her.

[SenchaSkeete]

I loved hearing from your wife. Such great advice as well, not just great medical advice, but great life advice.

[sinamen]

This irritated me so much cause my aunt was unable to get her diabetic medication for almost 2 months due to this trend 😒 thanks Doctors for touching on this!

[FacheChanteDeux]

I love your wife's sentiment about self-acceptance and physical appearance not being a trend. She is a sensible woman who obviously cares for her patients. Sadly, people (especially women) keep falling into the trap of solely viewing themselves in a superficial manner. There is no quick fix. We just have to take care of ourselves, both physically and emotionally. If people are doing their best, love the essence of who they are yet still want a little lift (or have serious injuries like burns and/or accidents to correct) then they should call Dr. Linkov.

[raeofsunshine]

Your wife is incredibly beautiful, highly intelligent and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing her with us, and thank you Dr. Elizabeth Grand for taking your time to explain ❤️

[minakhan]

The amount of respect they both have for each others as professionals as well as partners ❤ wonderful medical professionals as well as couple ☺️

[ginadillon]
