Ozempic and Other GLP-P Agonists – Hailed as a Miracle Weight Loss Drugs – Linked to 19 Adverse Health Events

Publish Date : 02/27/2025

Risks and side effects associated with popular GLP-1 receptor agonists such as Ozempic and Wegovy, widely prescribed for weight loss, have gained notoriety because of the results and data found in several recent studies.

Major Risks and Side Effects:

The Nature Medicine study and other reports highlight an increased risk of 19 health conditions, including:

• Gastrointestinal issues (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
• Pancreatitis and thyroid cancer
• Kidney and pancreatic problems
• Fainting, arthritic disorders, and blood pressure irregularities
• The benefits of these drugs are described as modest, with only a 10-20% reduction in associated health risks.

The Bigger Picture:

• The pharmaceutical industry has heavily marketed these drugs, leading to skyrocketing sales. Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, reported $40.6 billion in revenue in 2024, expected to rise in 2025.
• Critics argue society is too dependent on a “magic pill” instead of addressing the root causes of metabolic disorders, such as ultraprocessed food consumption.
• It has been suggested Big Pharma and Big Food are profiting while public health continues to decline.

Alternative Health Recommendations:

• Avoid GLP-1 drugs and focus on natural metabolic health improvements.
• Eliminate vegetable oils and processed foods, replacing them with whole foods and healthier fats.
• Shift carbohydrate intake gradually to prevent metabolic shock.
• Optimize protein intake (including collagen) to support muscle maintenance.
• Improve gut health by boosting beneficial bacteria, such as Akkermansia, which helps naturally stimulate GLP-1 secretion.

Conclusion:

Ozempic and similar drugs may provide short-term weight loss but come with significant health risks.
