Obsession with weight
But that was without the obsession with perfect bodies and the tom-tom of social networks of stars and influencers in the 21st century! Ozempic has become a star on Tik Tok with more than 500 million views on spectacular “before and followings”… and from an anti-obesity drug, it has become a miracle injection for losing weight quickly and with less effort. But not without cost: 3000 euros for one year of treatment on prescription but not reimbursed.
Prescriptions have exploded. Consequence: global shortage of the flagship drug from the Danish laboratory Novo Nordisk. With us, its availability is already limited and the situation will continue until next summer. The Minister of Health therefore decided on a measure which reserved this medication only for type II diabetic patients (whose hyperglycemia resists the benefits of an appropriate diet and physical exercise). Before including people with severe obesity (BMI > 35 or > 30 with at least one comorbidity).

Natural appetite suppressant
But what can push “healthy” people to inject themselves with a heavy medication presenting real dangers of developing gastrointestinal complications (from misuse)? An obsession with weight for most, satisfied by semaglutide. The strength of this synthetic hormone is to imitate (in the long term) the natural feeling of satiety and to act as an appetite suppressant…, with impressive effectiveness: where a “simple” low-calorie diet causes you to lose 5%. of fat mass, it displays 20%!
This synthetic hormone has a super-action on the regulation of appetite, notably by acting on a hormone called glucagon. Important in digestion, it is she who says: “Stop, we no longer eat and we go into digestion mode now!” Artificially, the diverted Ozempic will have a permanent satiety effect which makes you eat less and forget to eat outside of meals.
However, there are minerals and natural products which also act directly on glucagon (and insulin): Zinc and Chromium in particular are recognized. Just like cinnamon, a line of scientific research for several years! One herbalist even suggests combining these minerals with infusions of black mulberry leaves, blueberry leaves and other plants with hypoglycemic, hepatic and diuretic properties.
