Ozempic and Weight Loss Surgery: The Risky Weight Loss Bandaid Solutions (Not Magic Bullets!) with Kirsten Ackerman

Malnutrition, your hair falling out, nausea, getting a healthy organ amputated… do these things sound like ‘health’ to you?

Probably not. Yet they’re synonymous with weight loss surgeries and Ozempic, which are touted as the ‘gold standard’ for weight loss and are often undertaken in the name of health. WILD, right?!

I’m horrified by the rise of Ozempic and genuinely scared about the impact this is having on society, because we aren’t being informed about all of the facts behind these ‘magic bullet’ solutions for weight loss. Luckily, people like Kirstin Ackerman - aka. The Intuitive RD, a certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor and an ex weight loss surgery clinic employee - are speaking up.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Can you merge weight loss surgery and intuitive eating?
• The parts of weight loss surgery and Ozempic they DON’T tell you about (and make you feel like there’s something wrong with you!)
• Does EVERYONE lose weight on Ozempic or with weight loss surgery?
• Weight regain and the loss of health benefits long-term
• The psychological impact of weight loss solutions
• What to do if your doctor recommends Ozempic
• Why Ozempic is the worst solution for losing weight then keeping it stable
