🛑 Health Alert: Increased Risk of Gastroparesis with GLP-1 Medications ➡️ Recent studies have revealed a concerning finding about GLP-1 medications. Real-world data shows that consumers who took GLP-1 medications had about a 50% higher risk of being diagnosed with gastroparesis (gastric paralysis) compared to similar individuals who did not take these medications. ➡️ This underscores the importance of a holistic approach to healthcare that does not solely depend on GLP-1 medications. ➡️ A comprehensive strategy, including lifestyle modifications, dietary adjustments, and alternative treatments, should be considered to minimize risks and promote overall well-being. ✅ Are you ready to invest in your health instead of in long-term expensive medication? ✅ Are you ready to receive holistic and personalized care that focuses on your specific needs and characteristics? ✅ Are you ready to achieve more than your “perfect weight “ but your healthier life? If you answer YES ✅ I am here to support your journey!

Natural Treatment for Seasonal Allergy Treatment for seasonal allergies is challenging and problematic. Allopathic medicine has no scientifically proven and effective treatments for seasonal allergies. In most cases, using anti-histamine pharmaceutical drugs causes drowsiness and loss of concentration; more importantly, it helps for a few hours. Few studies have been conducted into alternative treatments for seasonal allergies. Alternative treatments are natural remedies for seasonal allergies that have been proven effective without side effects. Read more: https://lnkd.in/efVHHQb8

#Dieting and fat loss have never been EASIER. #GLP1 Agonists are making waves in the world of biohacking for #FatLoss. ✅ They mimic the effects of GLP-1, a #peptide hormone that manages insulin secretion, controls hunger, and delays gastric emptying. While the results are nothing short of GROUND-BREAKING, some people face issues with #Semaglutide/#Tirzepatide & supplements like #Calocurb. 🚧 These issues often plague human dumpster fires – i.e., people who eat like shit and live like shit. 🗑️💩 Here's how it goes... Obesity doctors prescribe these peptides without teaching the basics of fat loss. Patients use them, their appetite dulls, and they lose weight. ❌ But they neglect optimal lifestyle habits (e.g., exercise and a healthy high protein diet) and they pay a price. 💀 They destroy their metabolism and decimate their thyroid function, leading to fat loss AND muscle loss. ❓ Interested in learning all the best practices of losing body fat in the fastest way humanly possible with GLP-1s without causing metabolic damage? 👉🏻 The Ultimate GLP-1 Video Masterclass details exactly how to use GLP-1s PROPERLY, including micro-dosing for extreme and SAFE fat loss. If you are a clinician prescribing GLP-1's, you should have this course. https://lnkd.in/etDVtRUk

Even the most powerful tools can be ineffective without the right support. From CNN's article on weight-loss medications: "Most people using GLP-1 medications – about 58% – were on their treatment plan for less than 12 weeks, falling short of a key benchmark in the weight-loss treatment timeline." Measures such as individualized care, full-spectrum weight-loss drugs utilization (not just GLPs), a solid behavior-change program, and qualified weight-loss medication experts can help support people taking weight-loss medications. And these tactics also help employers reduce costs, mitigate risks, and increase engagement - a win-win. 👉 Article here: https://lnkd.in/giGY5ri3

Many of our customized Wellness Programs include a powerful supplement called Calcium D-Glucarate, known for its ability to aid in liver detoxification, regulate hormones, and even prevent certain types of cancers. ❤️ But it doesn't stop there! This supplement also supports PCOS by regulating estrogen levels, preventing reabsorption of estrogen, and promoting glucuronidation, your body's process of detoxification. 🌿 Supports Liver Detoxification: Calcium D-Glucarate enhances the liver's detox process by promoting glucuronidation, which helps remove toxins and waste products more efficiently. 👉 Regulates Estrogen Levels: It aids in metabolizing and excreting excess estrogen, which can help manage conditions like estrogen dominance and PCOS. 🌀 Inhibits Beta-Glucuronidase: By inhibiting this enzyme, Calcium D-Glucarate prevents the reabsorption of estrogen, ensuring it is effectively removed from the body.

This is a brilliant post. The following sentence from the expose is a classic oxymoron, especially given the other shared data points. "73% of doctors are in favor of fee-for-service and only 3% of doctors think money impacts their decision-making." However consider the following quote from the posting. The meta-analysis found: 1) Oncologists ordered more Radiation Therapy when their practice owned a Radiation Therapy Facility (as they would also receive the radiation therapy facility fees in addition to doctor professional fees). 2) Oncologists tended to order more expensive Chemotherapy and when a chemotherapy became generic and less expensive, they ordered less of it (oncologists make more money from ordering expensive chemotherapy as opposed to less expensive, generic chemotherapy). As the article concluded, "Expecting physicians to practice blind to incentives is unrealistic." Eric Bricker, MDGe BaiChris DeaconShawn GremmingerScott Conard, MDStacey RichterDavid ContornoAnn M.
