Radio host Matt Cooper reveals his journey as an early Ozempic adopter for type 2 diabetes. He defends users struggling with weight, sharing how the GLP-1 drug curbs appetite and led to gallbladder removal. Learn from his candid experiences on semaglutide benefits and challenges.
A scientific review shows certain affordable foods and drinks, including a 4p cup of green tea, could mimic GLP-1 inhibitors used in weight loss drugs. These natural compounds may support appetite regulation and blood sugar control. However, experts caution they are not direct alternatives to medications like Ozempic.
Stars using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic for dramatic weight loss are sparking talk of 'Ozempic face': sunken cheeks, new wrinkles, and sagging skin. Cleveland Clinic endocrinologist Vinni Makin notes this gaunt look stems from rapid fat loss. Public figures face scrutiny as the trend grows.
Corxel Pharmaceuticals raises $287 million in Series D funding to fuel phase 2/3 studies of its oral GLP-1 receptor agonist CX11 for obesity. Early phase 2 data shows a 9.7% body weight reduction at 16 weeks with high-dose titration. The funding also supports global trials and other cardiometabolic assets.
A new University of Oxford study reveals that GLP-1 users regain weight rapidly after stopping medications like Ozempic, with cardiometabolic benefits reversing within two years. This underscores the need for portion-controlled, nutrient-dense foods to maintain satiety on fewer calories. Food innovation will play a key role in supporting former users.
