In this episode I talk to Jessica Snape around the current trend of weight loss injections. There is a rising popularity with these quick fix weight loss jabs which includes Mounjaro and Ozempic to name a couple.
We are not experts on these injections or medical practitioners and our conversation is based on our own personal experiences and opinions.
I do however find it amazing the amount of money people will spend on these injections and I think they are an example of how we are so keen for a quick fix rather than getting to the route of the problem.
I know people may take these injections for medical reasons but I know many people that take them as a quick weight loss option because they find they cannot resist the junk food that is so readily available to us. I've even witnessed people who are on the weight loss jabs who still eat the junk food anyway.
I just see that there are other ways to approach this and ones that may have longer lasting effects without the reliance on an injection. I don't say that you take them but I think it's wise to explore them to see what other options are out there.
I have stopped drinking alcohol now for 7 years and have had nearly a year of no refined sugar by simply working on my belief systems and reducing my desire. There is a certain amount of discomfort with this process but also so much reward and permanence. It helps build self trust and confidence as you learn to lean into discomfort and not away from it.
The injections in my opinion seem to bypass this discomfort but what happens when you stop taking them? Is it sustainable and healthy to keep taking the injections?
Maybe it is and if you think so then there is no need to listen to this and you can carry on as you are.
Jess offers some alternative approaches that may well mean you ultimately lead a healthier lifestye.
