In my July blog, I discussed questions people should ask so they can make an informed medical decision as to whether or not to take Ozempic.

If I don’t take this medication for life, what happens to my weight when I stop?

If I take the medication for life, will I be healthier?

In my August blog, I answered questions regarding weight management: weight loss without Ozempic, as well as sustaining the weight lost with Ozempic.

If I do take the medication and lose weight, how do I sustain the weight I lost?

If I don’t take the medication, how can I lose weight?

And now it is October, and I am writing a blog to be sure you are accurately informed about the potential side effects, so you can assess the risk benefit ratio when deciding whether or not to take this drug.

My concern is with the online simple and quick purchases. Despite the short supply, companies offer overnight delivery to your door. Telemedicine is used to determine if you are eligible, which medication is recommended, and provide you with the prescription to be used for purchase on the site.

I do not have a position as to whether or not an individual should or should not take a drug. This is a medical evaluation, and it should be discussed with your physician. The important question is: Are you adequately informed to make a good medical decision?

If you are looking to purchase online rather than at your local pharmacy with a prescription from your physician, I thought the information presented by Drugwatch would be helpful in making your decision.

Drugwatch is an organization that states they work with medical and legal experts as well as patients and advocates to provide accurate, trustworthy, and current information about prescription drug side effects, medical device complications, and related lawsuits. Our team members have several years of medical and legal research experience and are passionate about advocating for people injured by the negligence of corporations.

I was hesitant at first to start seeing a nutritionist. I was very comfortable with my poor eating habits despite being upset about my weight; however I knew I needed to make a change.Nancy was very understanding from the start. Before meeting with Nancy, I had been in a constant cycle of over-restricting myself to lose weight rapidly, followed by binge eating and gaining it all back plus some more.Over the past year and a half, Nancy has helped me discover normal eating. She helped me understand my hunger and my fullness in addition to helping me choose better food options.Nancy is very dedicated to working with you and helping you achieve your goals. She doesn’t just help you reach your goals — she helps you change your perspective of food and eating for the better. What you learn with Nancy is not temporary — you will carry it with you and practice it throughout your life.I have lost almost 70 pounds since first meeting with Nancy and continuing on my journey. I highly recommend working with her.Nancy, thank you for all of your help!

Although I was unlucky when I developed some health issues, I was very lucky to find Nancy Mazarin, a skilled, intelligent, caring nutritionist. I saw lots of doctors but she was the one who came up with the diagnosis that finally led to my improved health. She was always available when I had questions and was even willing to meet with me one weekend when I was struggling.
