💉 Weight Loss Injections: Risks & Realities 💉

debbie4414

GLP-1 receptor agonists like Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Ozempic are becoming increasingly popular and accessible. But are they worth the risk if you are not clinically obese and don’t have Type 2 diabetes?


Here’s what you need to know:


Common Side Effects:

• Nausea • Dizziness • Headaches • Injection site reactions • Belching • Constipation • Acid reflux • Flatulence • Diarrhoea


Serious Side Effects: • Severe digestive problems • Gallbladder problems (e.g., gallstones or inflammation) • Pancreatitis • Increased risk of thyroid cancer • Depression or suicidal thoughts • Changes in vision • Increased heart rate • Low blood sugar levels (especially in non-diabetics)



 

Additional Considerations

1️⃣ Lack of Long-Term Data - While these medications can lead to short-term weight loss, their long-term safety and effectiveness are still uncertain.

2️⃣ Cost - Injections can be expensive, requiring ongoing treatment to maintain results.

3️⃣ Weight Rebound - Once you stop the injections, the weight often comes back—and sometimes more.

4️⃣ Not a Standalone Solution - These injections work best alongside healthy lifestyle changes, including diet, exercise, and stress management.

5️⃣ Individual Variability - Results can vary significantly. What works for one person might not work for another.


 

The Better Alternative

Weight loss injections might promise quick results, but they don’t address the root causes of your weight gain or overall health. Here’s why starting with nutritional therapy is a smarter, more sustainable choice:

1️⃣ Root Cause Focus - It tackles issues like hormones, gut health, or stress, leading to real, lasting change.

2️⃣ Natural and Safe - No risky side effects—just personalised, balanced nutrition for your body’s needs.

3️⃣ Sustainable Results - Quick fixes can lead to weight regain, but nutritional therapy builds healthy habits for life.

4️⃣ Whole-Body Benefits - Improve energy, digestion, and overall health while working toward your weight loss goals.

5️⃣ Empowerment - Learn how to nourish your body and make choices that support long-term wellness.
