Hey, butthole breathers! We're diving into one of the most emotional and controversial topics out there: Ozempic.

First off, let’s get clear: I’m a doctor, but I’m not your doctor.

What we discuss today is just my opinion, which is constantly evolving with new research and discussions with top doctors. So, don’t take this as medical advice. Always consult your own healthcare provider.

Now, Ozempic, a GLP-1 agonist, is often vilified, but there are potential benefits if used correctly. The problem? It’s being mismanaged with insanely high doses.

Peptides like Ozempic have been around for years, used by bodybuilders and athletes for their benefits.

But before you even think about taking it, there are things you need to do first.

1. Strength Training: Muscle burns fat and helps with pain and joint control. If you’re not moving your body and strength training, you shouldn't be taking Ozempic.

2. Sunlight and Vitamin D: Getting outside daily is crucial for stress management and insulin regulation. A 5-10 minute walk after meals can do wonders.

3. Proper Breathing: Mouth breathing and poor stabilization hinder your progress. Focus on nasal breathing to regulate your body's stress response.

4. Adequate Protein Intake: Protein, especially from sources like beef, is essential for muscle building, fat burning, and overall health.

5. Sauna Use: Detoxifying your body is key. Whether through steam showers or actual saunas, sweating helps eliminate toxins.

Before going on any medication like Ozempic, you need these foundational practices in place. It’s about creating a balanced lifestyle that supports the medication’s benefits without the high-dose side effects like gastroparesis or “Ozempic face.”

Microdosing is a game-changer. Using very small doses, in combination with a healthy lifestyle, shows amazing results, lower LDL cholesterol, reduced inflammation, and improved insulin sensitivity.

I've seen clients transform with just a tiny drop of these peptides, alongside their strength training, protein intake, and other healthy habits.

Remember, it’s not about finding an easy fix. It’s about making sustainable lifestyle changes that support your health in the long term.

Hey there, butthole breathers! If you’re stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed, you're going to want to listen to this. If you're super excited and can’t think straight, this is for you too. And if you’re frustrated, angry, or just pissed the F off, you definitely need this.

We first have to work on stopping those overwhelming thoughts.

I want you to ask yourself right now, “What is my next thought?” Close your eyes and ask yourself this. You’ll notice it short circuits your system, giving you a moment of peace. Keep doing it and see how long you get without a new thought popping in.

Now, we need to start breathing. You knew I was going there if you have been around for a while.

Close your eyes, lips together, teeth apart, tongue on the roof of your mouth. Inhale through your nose, exhale through your nose. Let all that stress and tension go. Ask yourself again, “What is my next thought?” Inhale and expand 360 degrees. If you need help feeling that, wrap your hands around your waist and try to breathe into your hands lightly. Exhale and relax.

On the next inhale, try to breathe into your hip flexors. Place your hands under your butt bones, push your fingers into your glutes, and try to get your breath all the way down there. Exhale and relax. Let the tension melt away from your shoulders, neck, chest, and belly. Everything just feels so good. The stress is melting off of you.

Remember, if you’re not laughing and having fun, you’re not healing. So, breathe through the stress and craziness, and keep this tool in your arsenal to help you relax. Share this with friends, save it for later, and come back anytime you need a quick breather.

You got this!

Hello Butthole Breathers! Welcome to part three of our "Under the Surface Health Side Effects" series. Today, we're diving into a topic everyone seems to dread: aging. Is it as terrible as it sounds? Let's break it down.

Aging brings out the consequences of the choices we've made in life, whether it's how we've treated our bodies or the habits we've formed. It's a reality check that might sting a little. I see this with professional athletes all the time, they're invincible in their early twenties, but by their late twenties, recovery gets harder. Their short career spans in intense sports are a microcosm of our extended lives. The choices we make inevitably catch up with us.

But here's the good news: our bodies are incredibly resilient.

Even if you've veered off track, you can turn things around by making positive changes. I've seen it with patients from their fifties to their eighties. Whether it's dealing with menopause, injuries, or other age-related issues, simple habit changes can lead to significant improvements.

Aging is a learning experience. I've always been fascinated with older people because of the wisdom they share. They tell it like it is and offer insights that can change our perspective. For example, many people in their forties, fifties, and beyond say those are their favorite decades, not their twenties. They've learned more about themselves and what they want out of life. They set boundaries around their well-being and health.

Aging isn't all bad. You gain wisdom and the ability to apply it. You can have a growth mindset and adapt to new knowledge, like the importance of strength training or the benefits of a daily walk. Medicine has advanced, and we now know how to better regulate hormones and manage stress, improving overall health at any age.

Slowing down is another beautiful aspect of aging. It allows you to absorb the moment and listen to your body. You can focus on what truly matters and enjoy life's experiences more fully.

So, what's your favorite thing about aging? Share this episode in the comments, and forward it to a friend who might need a fresh perspective on getting older. Aging doesn't have to be that bad. L

lLet's embrace aging together.
