OZEMPIC: Risks, Benefits, and Natural Alternatives to GLP-1 Weight-Loss Drugs

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael Greger, M.D., FACLM, the internationally renowned nutrition expert, physician, founder of NutritionFacts.org, and author of the best-selling books How Not to Die, How Not to Diet, and How Not to Age, turned his attention to the latest research on GLP-1 weight-loss drugs in his new book, OZEMPIC: Risks, Benefits, and Natural Alternatives to GLP-1 Weight-Loss Drugs (Oct 29, 2024), available now on Amazon in softcover and Kindle versions, and on DrGreger.org as an audiobook and ebook.

This new class of weight-loss drugs has received enormous, almost unprecedented attention. Ozempic and other GLP-1 mimics have been heralded as the medical sensation of the decade, the end of obesity, and game-changing miracle drugs. However, history shows that the vast majority of weight-loss drugs approved in the United States have been pulled from the marketplace due to unforeseen side effects that turned them into a public health threat.

In OZEMPIC: Risks, Benefits, and Natural Alternatives to GLP-1 Weight-Loss Drugs, Dr. Greger explores the science behind these medications and shares the important answers people need to make informed health decisions. He explains how to deal with the drugs' more common side effects—such as "Ozempic face," muscle loss, and gastrointestinal distress—as well as the risks of more serious ones, including thyroid and pancreatic cancers.

The long-term risk profile of GLP-1 weight loss drugs is still unknown, and, in his new publication, Dr. Greger also covers the safer, cheaper, natural alternatives to boost GLP-1 with diet and lifestyle.
