In this video I’m sharing my real-life update on semaglutide (the generic form of Ozempic/Wegovy) and how it helps me regulate my eating—especially as someone who struggles with binge eating disorder and insulin resistance. When I’m on semaglutide, I honestly feel like a “normal eater.” Food doesn’t consume my thoughts all day, and I naturally lean toward foods that make me feel better. I’ll look at a cookie and genuinely only want half because I know the whole thing won’t sit well—and that is not how I normally operate without help. I also talk about my weight numbers and what this medication has done for me over time. I started around 193, got down to 166, and today I’m around 178 after regaining some. I’m restarting at a very low dose (0.1 ml) and slowly working my way up, because this current batch has given me side effects I didn’t have before—headache, that “on the edge of nausea” feeling, and a little acid reflux. I also explain how I got it through the LifeMD app, what it cost me, and why you really need to follow your doctor’s instructions and start low. Overall, I do recommend it if you’re in that “I don’t know what else to do” place, but I don’t see it as a magic pill.
