One needle. One hit. And your life - and body - will change… forever.
0:05
Sounds like a hard drug, right? Heroin? Fentanyl? No… it’s Ozempic.
0:09
I’m Josh and on today’s episode of The Infographics Show,
0:12
we’re revealing the truth about what Ozempic and other weight loss drugs really do to the body.
0:17
Ozempic wasn’t originally meant for weight loss. It wasn’t meant to be a miracle cure
0:21
for obesity. It was a diabetes drug. But at higher doses, it takes over. It mimics your
0:26
fullness hormones. The GLP-1s. Your body doesn’t ask questions. It just goes along with it.
0:31
The result?
0:31
The drug does the heavy lifting. People often lose 10–20% of their body weight.
0:31
Ozempic moves through your body, rewriting how everything works. Some changes you see coming.
0:31
Others you don’t see coming.
0:31
Lower blood pressure. More stamina. A reduced risk of conditions like fatty liver or clogged
0:31
arteries. One of the most unexpected wins? A reduction in sleep apnea. Excessive weight
0:31
is a major trigger. But Ozempic changes that. It sounds like it can do no wrong.
0:31
So why aren’t we lining up for injections of this wonder drug?
0:35
Because every miracle comes with a price… and so does Ozempic
0:39
Ozempic mainly works on your gut. A delicate ecosystem. Even small
0:42
changes in what you eat or drink can throw it off.
0:46
Introducing Ozempic, and its rival Wegovy, can wreak havoc on the body. Up to 20% of users
0:51
report nausea and vomiting as a side effect when starting on high doses. Your body can
0:56
feel like it's under siege. But it learns. It adapts. The intense symptoms fade over time.
1:02
Around 30% of people using these drugs report diarrhea as a common side effect. Most of these
1:07
gut issues can be eased by gradually increasing the dose instead of jumping
1:11
straight to the full amount. On the flip side, the same hormones can slow things down, causing
1:16
constipation - often with gas and bloating. And they definitely don’t put that part in the ads.
1:22
But that’s not the only side effect that can ruin your plans.
1:25
One of the things people look forward to the most when planning to lose weight is being able to do
1:29
more. They’ll have more energy, healthier joints, and can stay active longer without getting worn
1:35
out. But it might not feel that way - at least at first. Fatigue is a common side effect for
1:40
those taking Wegovy, with 11% reporting it, and 5% of Ozempic users. This is believed to
1:45
be because of fluctuations in blood sugar levels and the body adjusting to a lower food intake.
1:51
But one side effect has everyone talking… and it’s the one you’ll notice first.
1:55
When people lose weight, there’s usually a cosmetic element to it. They want to
1:59
look healthier and younger. But some people say Ozempic might be
2:02
having the opposite effect - and it’s even earned a nickname: Ozempic Face.
2:07
Could this popular drug actually be making people look older faster?
2:12
In a word…no. Ozempic and other drugs like it are allowing people to lose weight far faster
2:17
than they normally would. And that takes the fat out of the whole body - including the face,
2:22
meaning looser skin and more obvious wrinkles. This can ease over time as
2:26
the skin adjusts to a slimmer frame. But some GLP-1 users are rushing to dermatologists,
2:31
worried Ozempic might make them look older. And the surprises don’t stop there.
2:35
“Ozempic personality” has seen some users notice changes in mood or behavior. Some
2:40
even few report increased anxiety, depression, or, in rare cases, harmful thoughts. However,
2:45
studies so far have found no link between GLP-1 medications and these types of thoughts - experts
2:51
state that most claims are anecdotal. And then there’s “Ozempic Butt” - sagging
2:56
skin that can appear after rapid weight loss. It can leave areas of the body looking loose
3:00
or “deflated” - especially around those curvy areas. But this isn’t a direct side effect of
3:05
the medication - it’s just the result of losing a lot of weight in a short time.
3:09
But there’s another cosmetic side effect - and it might be even more alarming.
3:13
Ozempic and Wegovy users have been reporting their hair falling out. This created a temporary panic
3:19
of people going bald because of their weight-loss supplement, but it was a rare side effect - only
3:24
3% of Wegovy users reported this strange side effect. This process is usually temporary,
3:29
not associated with heavy or total hair loss, but can be worrying. The most likely cause is
3:34
believed to be a reduction in vital vitamins and minerals due to the change in diet,
3:38
which can be reversed with a supplement regimen. But this miracle drug might be doing more than
3:44
changing your body - it could be affecting your brain too.
3:47
Some GLP-1 users report headaches shortly after starting the drug - but manufacturers
3:52
say they usually fade after a few weeks. There’s no direct link to the drug itself,
3:56
yet an indirect one exists. Digestive side effects can cause dehydration, which can trigger serious
4:02
headaches. The fix? Keep a water bottle handy. But this next side effect
4:06
isn’t so easy to explain. More and more Ozempic and Wegovy users
4:10
are reporting something strange - their dreams are changing. They’re reporting abnormal, incredibly
4:15
vivid and memorable dreams that can sometimes affect their sleep habits. No one is reporting
4:20
lucid dreams yet that’s known of, and several medications have been known to cause unusual
4:25
dream patterns. But the problem is that scientists still don’t fully understand how the dream cycle
4:30
works. Right now, doctors are mostly listening to reports from people experiencing these changes.
4:35
And that could hold the key to a much bigger question.
4:38
GLP-1s started out as a diabetes medication, and quickly turned into a way to boost weight loss.
4:44
But along the way, the developers started to discover it had a lot of unpredictable effects.
4:48
And one might be the key to solving one of the great killers of old age - Alzheimer’s disease.
4:54
Some early research suggests GLP-1 drugs could slow cognitive decline in older adults,
4:59
helping preserve key neural connections. The studies are still in the early stages, so no one
5:04
is claiming Ozempic will boost long-term brain health - but they’re not ruling it out either.
5:08
But this miracle drug comes with some serious downsides too..
5:12
More and more, doctors and patients are raising the alarm about strange side effects that seem
5:17
to appear out of nowhere - making some wonder if the drug could be doing more harm than good.
5:21
And these effects can hit some of your most critical organs. Take the pancreas,
5:25
for example: heavily involved in diabetes, it can be affected by these drugs, and in rare cases,
5:31
may develop pancreatitis. The risk is low, but doctors warn to watch closely for the first signs.
5:36
And in some cases, there are some unwelcome arrivals in the body.
5:40
One of the most frustrating side effects from GLP-1s so far has been gallstones - a painful
5:45
condition that can lead to the removal of the gall bladder. Doctors warn that while
5:49
gallstones have been linked to Ozempic use, it’s not a direct connection - rapid weight
5:53
loss by any method can trigger them. The body is under unusual pressure,
5:57
and when the gallbladder can’t keep up with the extra bile from the liver, problems can arise.
6:02
There’s one organ giving a red flag - but not in humans.
6:06
The thyroid gland is critical to producing the hormones responsible for regulating growth,
6:11
but it’s also vulnerable to cancer and other growths. And while there are no
6:15
signs of this being a problem in humans taking GLP-1s so far, there has been evidence of thyroid
6:20
tumors in animal testing. Doctors are studying carefully for the first sign of any effect on
6:25
the thyroid for humans, but this is one of the risks of drugs like GLP-1s - they’re messing
6:31
with a delicate hormonal balance and that can cause unpredictable and dangerous effects.
6:35
And in one case, researchers feared it might interfere with a basic human function.
6:40
For a while, Ozempic seemed like a dream come true - and then a headline suddenly
6:44
turned it into a nightmare. Was Ozempic really making people go blind? Suddenly,
6:49
reports started pouring in - some users claiming vision loss, and in a few cases,
6:54
even legal blindness. Naturally, anyone on the drug began worrying.
6:58
Investigations into the eye health of those suffering from vision issues found
7:02
the culprit - a condition called non-arteritic anterior ischemic neuropathy, which causes a
7:08
loss of blood flow to the optic nerve. This can cause serious vision loss in one or both eyes,
7:13
and studies found a correlation between this condition and Ozempic use. What they didn’t
7:17
find was a cause. Those who have circulation problems are more likely to have this disorder,
7:22
and so those who take Ozempic for weight loss might be at a higher risk to begin with.
7:27
But it was enough of a warning sign that it scared some people off the disease.
7:31
But there’s one area where it could have a bigger impact.
7:34
GLP-1 drugs are tailored to control appetite, and people who take them don’t just need to
7:39
eat less - they’re satisfied while eating less. This eliminates the diet-killer of
7:44
all time - the desire to cheat. Many people who take it find it far easier to stick to a diet,
7:49
but there was one unexpected side effect that shocked people. They found that food
7:54
wasn’t the only vice that Ozempic and similar drugs were reducing. And one
7:58
wasn’t even in the plan for the original drug - but it was curing it anyway.
8:02
Could Ozempic be changing the way our brains crave… anything?
8:06
It was a surprise when test subjects and early adopters started reporting this,
8:10
but Ozempic seems to be associated with a reduction in desire for alcohol.
8:14
Part of this could be that drinking is related to the reduced appetite,
8:17
but people also report not feeling the same intense desire for alcohol consumption. They
8:22
feel satisfied with one beer instead of 3 or 4 - if that. This led doctors to start testing it on
8:28
addictive behaviors, and early studies show a positive effect on smoking cessation as well.
8:33
Did these drug companies just hack addiction?
8:37
These studies have some people worried, as evidence grows that GLP-1 drugs don’t just
8:41
change your hormones and body - they affect the brain too. Side effects like headaches,
8:46
digestive issues, and even changes in mood have some doctors urging caution. Despite this,
8:52
the public keeps lining up for what might just be the easiest diet plan ever.
