Dr. Pompa Solo: Stop Ozempic Before THIS Happens

And I know everybody taking them, they feel better. There's a reason for that. Oh, and they're definitely losing weight. There's obviously a reason for that. What weight are they losing? And where does it end? Because, see, that's the problem. This does not end pretty. Let me go back to the 80s and 90s because something was called HCG. Have you heard of it? Well, people my age absolutely remember the HCG diet. Okay, you injected, yeah, it's a hormone.

Bodybuilders loved it because they would use it between their testosterone cycles to keep muscle on. And by the way, that's why it was used for the diets, because, see, people could go on low-calorie diets, where typically, when you do a low-calorie diet, it only works in the beginning, and then you start losing muscle. Well, you're going to hear more about that with the GLP1s.

And when you lose muscle, metabolism lowers, and therefore weight loss lowers, and then you lose more muscle, and your metabolism gets even lower, and all of a sudden your skinny fat feels worse, all kinds of problems, hair thinning because now you're malnourished. Yeah, it doesn't work long term. But HCG, I was the lone wolf out there saying to everybody, this is gonna end badly. But you know what I heard? But I feel so good. And look, I've lost 30, 40 pounds, so it works.

So don't tell me that HCG and HCG diets don't work because I feel so much better. I said, Man, this is a train heading off the tracks, and it's going to end badly. No one wanted to hear it. It took about five years, honestly, because people kept reinventing it. Oh, just take low dose HCG, and that works better, you know, because look, I'm telling you, it's making my hormones better, and I have hormone problems, so my doctor put me on it, and okay, I heard it all. Same story today.

I'm telling you, it's the same story. Everyone ended up hormone in hormone dysfunction, of course. It starts after time. The hormone havoc started. Oh, and guess what else? They couldn't come off of it because when they came off of it, they gained weight back. No, not just the weight back they lost, but more weight, and they ended up with other hormone challenges. Fast forward, here we are.

GLP1s, same story, different drug, some different mechanisms of action, but everyone's saying the same thing. I feel so good. But did we ever step back and ask the question why there's a hint to why so many people are GLP1 deficient? So, of course, when they take it, they feel better until they don't. And yes, just like other hormones, your body stops its own production, which becomes the problem later. So you end up stuck on these things because your body's not able to produce it.

But here is the tragedy with GLP1s. See, the weight loss isn't just fat, the weight loss is muscle, even cartilage and fat. Yeah, you lose some fat, but you're losing vital tissue, your muscle, which really is the tissue that determines your metabolism. That's right, even your mitochondria and all kinds of energy function. So this great feeling that we get is in fact short-lived because, in fact, we are losing muscle.

And I know on the low dose, barely notice, but over time, well, you're gonna end up in the same boat as the HCG people, a different reason getting there. But the point is this long-term, a disaster. So, shouldn't we ask ourselves the better question? Why? And I already tipped my hand on this, by the way, why are so many people GLP1 deficient? First of all, GLP1s are made in your gut from certain bacteria.

Okay, let's let's talk about all of the depression, all the brain problems today, the lack of focus, right? I could go on with a lot of different brain conditions, just simply not feeling yourself. Oh, just take this psychotropic drug, which is a drug that affects your brain, it helps you produce more serotonin. They're called serotonin uptake inhibitors, where they absolutely stop the uptake of serotonin so it builds up and your brain has more.

But you realize there's three amino acids in the gut being made from certain bacteria. It's called the Shikame pathway. I'm not going to bore you with the science, but when that pathway and those bacteria are affected typically by upstream toxins, then you don't make enough serotonin or dopamine in your brain, because these are chemicals, neurotransmitters, they're called, that the brain needs, so you feel normal.

But when this isn't working right, your gut, most likely because of toxic issues, well, you don't make enough of these bacteria or the bacteria being killed off. You don't have enough numbers of them, and therefore the pathway doesn't function efficiently, and therefore you don't make enough serotonin dopamine. So let's just give drugs that stop uh your body from absorbing them and then we'll put more in the blood. I mean, how's that working out? It's not.

We take more of these drugs than any country in the world, and we have the most depression, most suicide, and I can go on all these different uh brain conditions. Yeah, not working out because we're not getting to the cause. Well, GLP1, it's made by bacteria. Sound familiar. So let's just give more GLP1. Uh how's that working out? Well, some of you would argue good, but what I'm saying is just like the HCG, let's give it five years and see where we are. I'll tell you where we're going to be.

It's going to be a hormone disaster. How many of you already see the people out there with Ozempic face? Kind of looks like this. Mm-hmm. Mm-mm. Right there. Yeah, Ozempic face. Okay, that's Ozempic face. Dr. Rob Whitfield, uh, incredible plastic surgeon. I loved his video. I did a social media piece on it because I loved it. I pointed to it. Because he's a plastic surgeon saying, wait a minute, Ozempic face is a real problem, becoming even more of a problem.

What it means is they're losing muscle in the face and vital tissue in the face that give us good looks. It gives us less wrinkles, it gives us structure and expression in our face. Okay, it's bad enough that all these people are taking Botox and using fillers, but Ozempic face on top of it, oh my, it's a disaster. Literally, it is a disaster. Where are we going to be? Because imagine the Ozempic face with the lips. Because, see, here's what happens.

And Dr. Rob pointed it out that when you start getting Ozempic face, you start to have to fill it in with fillers that look, of course, not natural. So you get this really bizarre look of Ozempic face with all the fillers and Botox, and you're trying to express yourself. Imagine where we're going to be in five years. Oh, then you add Ozempic butt on top of it. You know what Ozempic butt is? It's a real thing. That means you don't have a butt anymore.

You get a spider butt, is what I call it, because spiders, you know, you kind of have that butt that just, well, you know what I mean. So the fact is, is people are losing their butt, and you can see that who's on these things and who's not. Okay, a friend of mine, this is a story that just happened. Uh, we were visiting him and he lost all this weight. We were congratulating him. Oh my congratulations, congratulations. And my my son Simon was like, Yeah, he's taking GLP1s.

I'm like, no, no, yeah, he wouldn't take GLP1s. Although, as soon as I said, I looked down at his butt. I'm like, oh my gosh, he has spider butt. You know, so I'm like, yeah, he has Ozempic ass, so I'm sure I think he might. So here's the way this conversation went down. My wife said, Hey, are you taking Ozempic? She said, He said, Oh, no, I'm not taking Ozempic. Then I said, Well, you're taking a GLP one. Oh, yeah, but I'm taking the better one. Is there a better one?

Okay, no, see, these things all work the same. My point is, you can tell who's taking these things, and it is not going to go well. It is absolutely going to end in a disaster. Hormones, it starts to affect other hormones, and we're going to have other problems. And again, I know that in the healthy space, people are using the low dose, claiming how healthy it is. Wait a minute, hold on a second. You know, we're gonna take a lower dose of this hormone.

That just means you'll get osempic butt slower and you'll develop osempic face slower instead of dealing with the cause of why you may not be producing it. But here's another problem: the receptors on our cells absolutely are not hearing the GLP1 hormone as well. So when you first start taking it, it starts to work, but then you have to take more to get the same effect. Oh, and you're losing muscle, so your metabolism is going down.

So you might start off low dose, but well, where are you gonna be in a year or two worse yet? And by the way, you can't come off because when you do come off, you are going to gain the weight back and then some, and then you're not gonna feel good anymore. So I guess it's pretty clever for the drug companies because then you're gonna have to stay on it. Okay, I've said enough. I'm not going to get into the science, but this is a catabolic drug, meaning it breaks you down.

That's how it works, okay, as opposed to an anabolic uh drug. Like HCG was actually anabolic, meaning it helps you hold muscle. And when you went into a low-calorie diet, then it actually was able to keep your metabolism up. But even that ended in a disaster. This one's catabolic, meaning it breaks you down. And by the way, that's why the face is, you know, losing all the structure in the face. And by the way, losing cartilage too. Uh, so you're breaking collagen down.

And by the way, one of the things Dr. Robb, the plastic surgeon, said is he's seeing wrinkles that because of losing this important tissue, so Ozempic face is absolutely horrible. You know, the thing I hate about Ozempic face, Ozempic butt we can cover, but I we can't cover Ozempic face. So, you know, not a good look. And then you start putting fillers around it. As a man, and I'm telling you, we talk in our circles. We don't like the look.

We don't like all the Botox and the fillers, you know, and I could get into the boobs, but it's not something that most men actually like. And I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna predict it right here. We're gonna go full circle on this because it's getting more and more unattractive, less attractive, that we're gonna go full circle on this because already in my friend groups we're going, man, there's something about that girl. And you know, I say, you know what it is?

I'll tell you what it is right now. You can see her expression, you can see her wrinkles. And as a woman's age, her wrinkles, her expressions, you know, they become beautiful. They really do. I look at my wife, who's never used Botox and fillers, and I see absolute natural beauty, especially when I compare her to others. Okay, that's your wife. So you look that way. But I'm telling you, natural beauty is going to come back. This is going to go full circle.

Oh, by the way, I've done uh Instagram videos on this. The stuff doesn't go away. The hyaluronic acid stays there, and they're seeing it on MRIs years later. But here's the problem it relocates. And so they're thinking it's a tumor. How good is that for you? Well, it's not good at all because the immune system sees these foreign things in the body and it affects immunity, especially the longer it's there, and it's becoming more of a more of a problem because it's not going away.

Oh, they'll tell you, oh, it just goes away. No, it's not. We see it on MRIs. That's not my opinion. In my Instagram video, I showed you the studies, and you can see it all displaced, which again, I think, is starting to cause this dysmorphia that's happening into human faces. But the fact is, my prediction is we're gonna go full circle on this. God, I hope so. You only use a little bit. That's what you're thinking. Am I am I right? That's what you're thinking.

Okay, but here's the problem it becomes addictive. Trust me, it does. And you're like, yeah, he's right about that because you do a little bit and then you see another spot, and you see, and then a little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit more, and all of a sudden you're down the road, and then you're one of them, right? All of a sudden it doesn't look the same. And your husband's going, hmm, okay, you know, honey, it's enough, right?

Okay, but my point is be there before it goes full circle. Go natural, ladies. Go natural. And men, I I'm not talking if you're a man doing it, I'm not even talking to you. We're gonna talk to ladies on that because those are the ones I care about with this topic right now the most. But let me tell you something. Many men on Zozempic. Now, I was talking about fillers and Botox. I I there's absolutely a lot more women doing that than men, although I know men do it, but they should hear this too.

So send them the video as well. But Ozempic cross the board, both men and women. But here's the facts there is something that you can do because you're like, okay, you just floored me. Now what? And I want to come off. How do I do it? I got a strategy. Okay, so there's I said it was made in bacteria. One of the most important bacteria in making GLP1 in your gut is Acromencia. Find it online. There's a company called Pendulum, okay. That's the company that makes acromensia.

So you could take some acromensia. Now it won't be this quick fix. I'm gonna just tell you that right now, but over time you'll start making more GLP1. So as you come off, my advice would be to scale up the acromensia, a more natural scale down instead of this big drop. The other suggestion I have, if you're thinking of coming off, is absolutely start lifting weights, more resistive training because you need to put the muscle back on.

So please, you know, I'm not telling you one to start or stop a drug. Be clear. But if you and your doctor decide to come off of this, then you better get in the gym and do resistive training, not endurance training, because that can be catabolic too. We want resistive training. If you need to hire a trainer, whatever it is.

But look, if you follow my Instagram, I talk about how to do the 10-minute workout a day, which is using high intensity with a little bit of weights, and how quickly that raises growth hormone, which is also going to work for you. Those are two huge, huge things you can do right now. Now, let's say, all right, I want to lose weight and um, you know, I'm struggling.

All right, I don't know if my team can do this on these uh these YouTubes, but fact is, is that there is something called my 421 diet, or what I call diet variation. So what it means is feast, famine, feast, famine, feast, famine. Years ago on uh, this is when I did podcast, it was called Cellular Healing TV. I interviewed a scientist called Christian uh Verde, and she said, We compared every diet, low carb, high protein, paleo, plant-based, with a feast famine diet.

And the feast famine diet won out every time, even for people in what we call weight loss resistance, meaning they stopped losing weight, don't know why, most likely hormonally, which causes weight loss resistance. So when this they put them in the feast famine, and what I'll just tell you what they did in the study, they put them on the regular diet, eating three meals a day, we'll say, and then one meal a day. Three meals a day, one meal a day. And then this was the feast famine cycling.

So it was higher calories, lower calories, higher calories, lower calories every other day. Now, I have something called my four to one, where you do four days of a lower carb diet, and then you do uh a feast day, and uh or you could do two feast days, where meaning you pick the days where you feast, where you eat three meals that day in even higher healthy carbs, or maybe it's even high protein. And that's about a hundred grams of protein if you're gonna do high protein a day. That's minimum.

Some of you bigger people may have to go up to 200. So, but that would be a feast if you eat that much protein. More meals absolutely end up with more calories at the end of the day, would be a feast, especially if you're intermittent fasting and maybe you're only eating two meals in the day, then eating three or even four would be a feast because you're gonna get more calories.

But also, if you're low carb um for those four days by eating high carb, uh, that would be at least 150, 200 better, and even up to 300 grams of carbs a day, just giving you numbers to what a feast would look like. So four days of we'll say a low carb diet or even maybe a keto diet, two days of feasting, and there's one more day in that seven day week, and that is your fast day, where you just eat one meal that day. So you go 23 hours, 24 hours, and then eat a meal. So feast famine.

So you're getting two feasts, you're getting one fast and four low carb. Okay, I even have what I call my three, two, one, um, where we do three days, maybe low carb, uh, three days of feasting and one day of fasting. And by the way, some of you could flip it and do two days of fasting and do one day of feasting. See, the feast days are important because they remind your body it's not starving.

If you do low carb or low calorie too long, so a lot of people are intermittent fasting where they're eating just one meal a day or two meals in a small window, maybe four to six hour window. Eventually the body thinks it's starving and it slows down weight loss and you start to potentially burn muscle called gluconeogenesis, and then that lowers metabolism, just like we were talking about with the GLP1s. So the fact is, is that you're slowing metabolism.

If you're intermittent fasting too much, you need feast days. Some people need at least one feast day a week. I would say everybody needs one. Some people need two, some people need three. Who are the people that typically need two or three feast days a week? Thyroid people, adrenal people, and typically women do better with more feast days. I know it's hard to believe that feasting could actually cause your body to lose weight. Well, we know it's true.

I trained doctors and have for 20 years, and what happens is the moment you put a feast day in, the next day your ketones, and that's a measurement of how you're burning fat because you burn and make ketones. Well, the next day they're, you know, they start to come back and then maybe they're a little low. Day two, you see this massive rise in ketones, meaning your body just started burning fat like crazy that night. So I call it diet variation or feast famine cycling.

And by the way, when we do longer fasts, I teach this. The fact is, is that feast famine cycling, a couple things happen. Number one, and this is why it works, it puts stress on the microbiome. And stress, that's not good. Whoa, no, it is good. They have a premise called hormesis, meaning if we stress something and it adapts to the stress, you get stronger. Well, studies show when you change diet, you add a stress to the microbiome, and you know how they adapt?

They adapt by getting more diverse. Diversity in the microbiome is a healthy microbiome, meaning your immunity is better, your brain works better, your hormones work better. So by feast famine, you're creating more diversity in your bacteria. Ah, that means you make more GLP1. Oh, that means you make more serotonin. That means you have better immunity and better brain function, period.

So you can take bacteria, but it doesn't work as well as stressing the microbiome, utilizing feast famine and diet variation. So diet variation, part of my strategy, is also changing the diet. Many people just stay on the same diet all the time, same eight foods. So the point is, is we want diversity and we want diet change and feast famine cycling to create that diversity. Makes sense? I know it's probably the first time you heard that. I've been teaching this for a long, long time.

So the bottom line is that weekly we need to change the diet. We need feast days, but we also need famine days, right? A lot of you are going, man, that's all I do is feast. That's my problem. Okay, you need to fast. I believe we're genetically meant to fast, but again, we need to feast and fast, meaning feast and famine. So, look, that is if you're struggling to lose weight, you hormonally optimize when you do these diet changes.

So four, two, one, four days of low carb under 50 grams typically, keto diet that would be called. And then, like I said, two feast days where you pick them randomly. They could be back to back, where you're eating three meals that day, maybe higher carbs, maybe higher protein. I'm just doing a review in one fast day with one meal. And again, you could flip that. You could do two fast days, one feast day, and four low carb days. But the variation's the key.

My son, right now, he's doing Kristen Verde's diet. He's doing every other day. He's doing a feast of famine, feast of famine. Uh, and again, by the way, he lost 80 pounds. He was my youngest who didn't listen to me until he started listening to me. And he lost 80 pounds in six months utilizing these strategies. No GLP1, no Ozempic butt or Ozempic face. So there's there's the answers. I gave you some solutions. I just didn't crush your dreams.

But the fact is, you better share the video because I guarantee in your little circle, yeah, there's, I don't know, 50% of them. What do you think? I don't know. What do you think the percentage is that are. Taking these drugs. But not going to end well. You heard my predictions. Share the video. Thanks.
