"Eat Veggies Before Meat for 'Natural' Ozempic-Like Effects, Experts Suggest"

Experts suggest that eating vegetables before protein and carbs, known as nutrition cycling, may trigger the release of the GLP-1 hormone, similar to the effects of Ozempic, leading to more stable blood sugar levels and potential weight loss. Studies have shown that this eating pattern could reduce blood sugar spikes, improve insulin levels, and help with weight management. While it may benefit those with diabetes or who have had bariatric surgery, it should not detract from the enjoyment of food.

The Impact of Ozempic on Patients' Mental Health and Availability in the UK

Patients taking Ozempic, a weight-loss drug that mimics the GLP-1 hormone, are reporting a reduction in anxiety and depression. Experts suggest that this could be due to the weight loss triggered by the medication or another factor. However, some users have reported increased anxiety and negative side effects such as severe constipation and losing control of the bowels. Despite this, an estimated one in 60 US adults now have a prescription for Ozempic, its bigger dose version Wegovy, and another weight loss drug called Mounjaro.
