What is the Difference Between Ayurvedic and Medical Weight Loss Medications?

Image Source: unsplash Obesity is a growing concern, as emphasized by our “Why Obesity is Spreading Worldwide?” article. Being diagnosed as obese is more than just having excessive fat stored within the body. It is a major risk factor for diseases, including diabetes, heart problems, and certain cancers.Given these serious effects on an individual’s health, it’s no surprise that there has been…

Regular reminder that sudden and severe weight loss is a pretty serious sign that something is very, very wrong

Medicines in the same class as Novo Nordisk's popular weight-loss therapy Wegovy may carry an increased risk of pancreatitis, intestinal blockage and stomach paralysis compared to an older obesity drug, according to a study published on Thursday. The study focused on two drugs from the class known as GLP-1 inhibitors, which help lower blood sugar levels for people with Type 2 diabetes: semaglutide is the active ingredient in Wegovy as well as Novo's diabetes drugs Ozempic and Rybelsus; liraglutide is the active ingredient in the company's earlier obesity medicine Saxenda and diabetes drug Victoza. Nearly five in every 1,000 users of semaglutide drugs developed pancreatitis, compared to one of every 1,000 users of bupropion-naltrexone, the active ingredients in the weight-loss drug Contrave, according to a report in the JAMA medical journal. Contrave was approved in the U.S. in 2014 and in Canada in 2018.

DIY [dirt cheap & probably works better than a] Starbucks Medicine Ball:

Functional teas that I had on hand were:

Celestial Tea Well Organic Ginger Mint

Bigelow Benefits Lemon & Echinacea

Honey, the real good stuff (this is from my cousin's farm)

Lemon Juice 🍋

Sugar Free Peppermint Syrup

Bonus Add on: Young Living Peppermint

Although the OG diy recipe uses the Teavana brand and a metric shitton of sugar, I am not that boujee and trying to avoid extra sugar... Honey has enough sweetness, but honey also has its own special properties. Use the google, I ain't your momma.

This tea is what I had on hand, and likely bought on sale or clearance. Also...there are a ton of different teas that are specifically blending to aid immunity or cold season. Try varieties by Yogi or Traditional Medicinals if you can find them. Experiment & find what works best for you.

I also don't have the space for a bag of fresh lemons. It is really all about balancing what you have with the effect you want.

I have found that in most of my experiments, I will feel better with any combination of mint, lemon and honey. But if I have to work, a tea that has some caffeine will help me perk up.

And yes, I have to work. I work FT and caregiver FT, I am out of PTO. My FMLA is only if my patient is sick, it doesn't cover my illnesses. But I work from home so... it could be worse. At least I am not infecting people.

Isn’t there an insulin shortage? Was it only in America? I am worried about people with diabetes.

there's a shortage in the states that is exacerbating the already high prices:

there was also this, a tiktok weight loss trend leading to a global shortage of medication for type 2 diabetes (it isn't insulin though):

but I can't find anything about an insulin shortage in canada. if anyone can find any information on that, feel free to add it!

Doctors like to say that gallstones are caused by being fat or eating fatty food. You know, because fat =evil, right?

That's not how it actually works. Eating a very low fat diet is more likely to cause gallstones. (Gallstones are statistically linked to fatness because guess what size of people are more likely to be dieting?)

Bile is used in your digestive system to digest fat. It is stored in the gallbladder. If you stop eating fat, the gallbladder never gets the signal to squirt out bile and it builds up in your gallbladder, eventually concentrating and forming crystals or gallstones.

Then let's say you go to a party and eat a donut. Suddenly the gallbladder is called back into action and tries to squirt out bile, but instead is squirting out tiny rocks and you are experiencing the worst fucking pain of your entire fucking life.

Your doctor tells you to avoid eating fatty food, so you assume fatty food caused this problem, but that's not really what happened. The fat triggered the noticable symptoms, but there is very little evidence linking high fat diets to the actual formation of gallstones.

If you try to explain this in plain and simple terms to people on social media, they will argue with you as if you have insulted their deepest held beliefs because you're telling them that weight loss dieting has side effects, and they can't fucking handle that.

(TW: Medical and weight talk)

I went to a new doctor this morning to talk about my chronic back and joint pain and I felt heard. My last doctor focused on my weight and didn't do much for my pain issues, like I can't walk far or stand for long. And this new doctor actually listened and did an examination, ordered labs and X-rays.

What I liked a lot was there wasn't a scale in the room. She didn't even want to talk weight loss, she wanted to talk about physical therapy and improving my mobility.

This place was very queer. All of the patient doors were decorated with rainbows and pride flags.

I hope all of the people using Ozempic and Mounjaro to lose weight without a perscription and the celebrities having fucking "Ozempic and Mounjaro Parties" are enjoying it because I (a person who actually needs it for diabetes management and has a perscription) am about to miss my 3rd week of shots because I've called 3 pharmiacies and not a single one has it.

Hormones & Weight loss (part 2) : Insulin

Insulin is a key hormone that regulates blood sugar levels by helping your body store and use glucose for energy. It plays a critical role in maintaining energy balance, but elevated insulin levels, often caused by overconsuming refined carbohydrates or poor lifestyle habits, can promote fat storage and lead to insulin resistance. This makes weight loss harder and increases the risk of metabolic conditions like type 2 diabetes.

💛 Signs & Symptoms of Imbalance:

• Strong cravings for sugar and refined carbs

• Difficulty losing weight, especially around the abdomen

• Energy crashes after meals

• Persistent hunger, even after eating

💛 How to Support:

• Balance your meals: Include a mix of lean protein, healthy fats, and high-fiber foods to keep blood sugar levels stable and reduce insulin spikes.

• Reduce sugar intake: Limiting refined carbs, sugary beverages, and processed snacks can lower insulin demands.

• Exercise regularly: Both aerobic exercise (e.g., walking, cycling) and strength training improve insulin sensitivity and help muscles efficiently use glucose.

• Improve sleep quality: Poor sleep increases insulin resistance and disrupts metabolic hormones. Aim for 7–8 hours of consistent, restful sleep.

• Use timing to your advantage: Consuming carbohydrates post-workout optimizes glucose uptake by muscles, reducing the risk of fat storage.

💛 Supplements that may help:

• Berberine: A natural compound that supports blood sugar control and enhances insulin sensitivity (Source).

• Chromium: An essential trace mineral that aids in blood glucose regulation.

• Magnesium: Plays a crucial role in glucose metabolism and insulin signalling.

• Inositol (Myo-inositol): Especially beneficial for insulin sensitivity in people with metabolic syndrome or PCOS.

Optimiza tu rendimiento con estrategias de suplementación personalizadas, basadas en la ciencia 💪

Si eres un atleta de CrossFit o alguien comprometido con su entrenamiento, sabrás lo importante que es no solo entrenar duro, sino también asegurarte de que tu nutrición y suplementación estén alineadas con tus objetivos. Soy investigadora científica nutricional y recientemente realicé una investigación exhaustiva sobre la suplementación para deportes de resistencia y fuerza para una universidad española. A través de esta investigación, he podido entender cómo ciertos suplementos pueden mejorar el rendimiento, la recuperación y la fuerza en atletas de alto rendimiento, y ahora quiero compartir ese conocimiento contigo.

En el contexto de CrossFit, un deporte que exige mucho a nivel físico y metabólico, los atletas necesitan adaptarse constantemente a las exigencias de su entrenamiento, las cuales varían dependiendo de la intensidad, la frecuencia y la temporada del año. Esta investigación me permitió profundizar en cómo diferentes suplementos ergog��nicos como creatina, beta-alanina, cafeína y omega-3 pueden tener un impacto directo en el rendimiento físico de los atletas y en su capacidad para recuperarse más rápido.

🌱 ¿Por qué la suplementación personalizada es fundamental para CrossFit?

Lo que descubrí a lo largo de mi investigación es que no existe un enfoque único para todos. Cada atleta tiene necesidades nutricionales distintas, que varían según la fase del entrenamiento y la temporada. Durante la temporada alta de entrenamiento o competición, el cuerpo de un atleta de CrossFit requiere más carbohidratos para reponer el glucógeno muscular, y durante los entrenamientos intensivos de alta demanda, suplementos como la creatina y la beta-alanina pueden ayudar a mejorar la fuerza, la resistencia muscular y la capacidad anaeróbica. Los omega-3, por otro lado, son esenciales durante las fases de recuperación, ya que tienen propiedades antiinflamatorias que ayudan a reducir el dolor muscular y aceleran la recuperación post-entrenamiento.

🔑 Lo que te ofrezco como investigadora científica nutricional:

Mi enfoque no solo está basado en evidencia científica, sino también en una estrategia completamente personalizada.

Después de años de investigación y trabajo con terapia dietética, he desarrollado un sistema de suplementación adaptado a las necesidades individuales de cada persona, teniendo en cuenta factores como:

La fase de entrenamiento en la que te encuentras (competencia, pre-temporada, temporada baja).

La carga física de tu entrenamiento (resistencia, fuerza, explosividad).

Tus metas específicas, ya sea mejorar la fuerza, la resistencia o la recuperación muscular.

Pero también personas que tienen una carga diaria excesiva, que somos casi todas.

Además, mi experiencia en suplementación para deportes de resistencia y fuerza me permite ofrecer planificación de suplementación científica para garantizar que cada suplemento se tome en el momento adecuado y con la dosificación correcta para maximizar los resultados.

🌟 ¿Qué puedes esperar?

Con mi guía, aprenderás a integrar la suplementación en tu rutina de entrenamiento y hacerla trabajar para ti, no solo en términos de rendimiento, sino también en recuperación y bienestar general. Te proporcionaré un enfoque estructurado y basado en datos para mejorar tus resultados de manera más eficiente. Los suplementos no son una solución mágica, pero cuando se usan correctamente y en conjunto con un buen plan nutricional, pueden marcar una gran diferencia en tu rendimiento y recuperación.

💥 Haz que cada suplemento cuente

Mi investigación también demuestra que los suplementos deben ser parte de una estrategia nutricional integral que se ajusta a tus objetivos y demandas individuales. Esto incluye la combinación de suplementos ergogénicos como la creatina, la cafeína, los ácidos grasos omega-3 y la beta-alanina, con una dieta adaptada que maximice el uso de estos nutrientes. Solo con un enfoque personalizado y estratégico puedes lograr resultados óptimos.

Contacta conmigo y comienza a transformar tu rendimiento físico, con una estrategia de suplementación basada en la ciencia. Cada suplemento debe trabajar para ti y tu objetivo es maximizar los resultados. A través de un enfoque personalizado y con respaldo científico, vamos a llevar tu rendimiento y recuperación a un nivel superior.

Is Intermediate Fasting Good For Health?

So, what is intermittent fasting anyway?

So, are you willing to try intermittent fasting to lose weight?

To be honest, it’s definitely worth a try if you’re looking for a flexible, simple way to lose a few pounds, improve your fitness, and maybe even feel more energized throughout the day.

It’s no longer about being self-indulgent and merely giving your body the occasional touch-up.

Who knows?

Let’s see is intermediate fasting good for health?

You might come out feeling better than before. However, don’t worry if the thought of missing breakfast is just too much for you. You are who you are, and never forget that the best fitness regimen is the only one that suits you.

Is it good for health?

That’s the million-dollar question now, isn’t it?

Is it really doing something specific to your body to forgo breakfast and wait until noon to eat? Well, there are some people for whom intermittent fasting will improve their fitness. Let’s start with losing weight.

Your body turns to your fat stores for fuel when you don’t eat for extended periods of time because it lacks the immediate energy that comes from food.

It’s similar to using up the cupboard treats when you’re too lazy to go grocery shopping.

In the long run, this might help people lose weight, especially if they maintain a low-cost energy range during their eating window.

However, the benefits don’t end there. According to some research, fasting may help lower insulin levels, which is excellent for controlling blood sugar.

That is really significant, especially for those who are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Moreover, intermittent fasting can improve heart health by lowering blood pressure and harmful low-density lipoprotein levels.

Furthermore, some studies suggest that fasting may actually strengthen your mind by removing mental clutter and thus lowering your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
