What this video covers
- Odds are if you’ve been on TikTok or Twitter as of late, you’ve seen this new drug, Ozempic, be mentioned. So it’s about time that we talk about the truth when it comes to Ozempic. Because of this added effect of weight loss, many people started using the medication off-label for just weight loss. There is a huge rise of misinformation happening at this very moment that we have to fact check.
Summary drawn from this video’s own transcript (banked in our research library, pulled 2026-11-07). Claims below are the speaker’s — attributed, not endorsed. This site publishes no dosing, protocol, or sourcing information.
Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- Any good doctor should not be just prescribing this medication and forgetting about the patient.
- In fact, people who are already of a healthy weight, looking to get skinnier were not the ones that were studied when we were checking the safety and effectiveness of this medication.
- So maybe, taking it while you’re already at a healthy weight can lead to worse side effects.
- This type of yo-yo dieting has been associated with numerous health risks, including returning to your normal weight and then going past it and gaining even more weight after you stop a medication like this.
- My suspicion is the people who are experiencing this quote-unquote, “Ozempic face,” or this hollowed-out look are individuals who are rushing to lose weight, using it in a way that is not being prescribed to them.
- Anytime you’re prescribing a medication, there needs to be a risk/benefit ratio done for the individual sitting in front of you and ultimately, the individual needs to decide if the medication is right for them.
