37. Make Your Own Ozempic

Is there a better, safer, FREE alternative to Ozempic (and other GLP-1 drugs)? In this episode of Walk, Don’t Run to the Doctor, Miles Hassell MD reacts to the growing buzz and shares a time-tested, evidence-based 3-step plan that outperforms popular weight loss drugs in the long run.

As GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro surge in popularity, Dr. Hassell offers critical insight into their risks—like muscle loss, pancreatic complications, and long-term unknowns—while proposing a practical, natural alternative for lasting weight loss and better metabolic health.

Key Takeaways:

• Why Big Pharma’s track record with weight loss drugs demands caution

• The secret 3-step plan: Eat 6 servings of fruits & veggies, 3 minutes of daily exercise, reduce refined carbs

• Bonus tips: Bust cravings by eating protein with every meal, daily probiotics, and unlock the power of preemptive eating

• Why this plan costs nothing, has zero side effects, and starts showing results in just one week

• A timely message in light of the weight loss drug headlines—who should be in control of your health?
