This is my grandmother.
My mother became pregnant with me at 16, so in many ways, my grandmother played the role of a second mom.
At her heaviest, she weighed 290lbs and was dealing with being prediabetic, skin cancer, and Stage 4 COPD. At this point, under her doctor’s supervision, she started Ozempic, and it transformed her life.
I’m sharing this rare personal story for a few key reasons. The fitness industry is increasingly critical of Ozempic, and I want to provide some education on its benefits for certain individuals. For people who need to lose a significant amount of fat and struggle to do it naturally, there should be no shame in deploying medication that can be of benefit to your health. Especially when being over-fat is linked to the health outcomes that my grandmother was experiencing. Not everyone is striving to be a fitness model or bodybuilder. Some simply need to lose weight for their health and overall well-being.
We’ve never been anti-Ozempic. I do not suggest it for people who need to lose 15lbs for the summer. But if your current state of health prevents you from exercising or you are morbidly obese and do not have the will to diet, this is a better option.
Thanks to Ozempic, my grandmother lost 110lbs and turned her life around. If it had been just 10, 20, 30lbs, if she was capable of vigorous exercise, if she had the will and desire to do it herself – this might be a different story. But as we age or our weight increases, mobility often decreases dramatically.

🚨 I am not a doctor and do not offer medical advice. This is not an endorsement of Ozempic. Ozempic is not an excuse to not build healthy habits – eating well, moving often, and strength training.
