Ozempic face. Ozempic feet. GLP1 antagonists like Wegulvy and Ozempic are associated with other side effects, including blindness. Bowel obstruction. Pancreatitis.
These aren’t rare complications in some far-off medical journal. These are real, rising consequences from a “miracle” drug that’s been pushed as the next holy grail of weight loss.
But here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud:
Quick fixes come with hidden costs—and sometimes those costs are irreversible.
Let me be clear: I’m not anti-medication. I’m pro intentionality. But Ozempic and similar drugs are being marketed not as short-term medical interventions—but as permanent health solutions.
And that’s where things go sideways.
🚨 What’s Really Happening Behind the Hype?
Let’s unpack it:
- Ozempic Face – That gaunt, aged look? It’s a result of losing muscle and fat too quickly, often without strength training or nutrient (not enough protein!) support.
- Ozempic Feet – Numbness. Pain. Tingling. Neuropathy is no joke when rapid weight loss impacts circulation and nerve health.
- Blindness – Rapid shifts in blood sugar can damage retinal vessels, especially in those with undiagnosed or unmanaged diabetes. Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (a very rare condition) shows up at double the rate in those who aren’t taking GLP1 inhibitors.
- Bowel Obstruction & Pancreatitis – Both are serious risks from GLP-1 drugs. These aren’t side effects—they’re medical emergencies.
Yet millions are lining up, ignoring the deeper issue:
We’re outsourcing long-term change to short-term fixes.
You Wouldn’t Run Your Business Like This…
Imagine this scenario:
You discover a bottleneck in your business. Instead of diagnosing the root cause, you slap on a flashy solution that temporarily hides the issue. Revenue bumps, but underneath it all, systems are breaking.
Would you call that growth?
Of course not.
But that’s what so many high-performers are doing with their health.
- Burning out but popping stimulants.
- Gaining weight but skipping meals.
- Lacking confidence but relying on a drug to change the mirror.
When we chase shortcuts in health, we silently surrender our leadership.
What We Actually Need
- We don’t need another pill.
- We don’t need another cleanse.
- We don’t need another excuse.
We need a strategy.
At ProAttitudes, we teach the B3 Way—a sustainable method rooted in mindset, metabolism, and momentum.
It’s built for leaders who:
- Want to lose weight with their mind, not just their mouth.
- Are tired of the pendulum swing between burnout and false energy.
- Crave confidence, focus, and strength—not just a number on the scale.
A Better Question to Ask Yourself
Instead of, “How do I lose this weight fast?”
Try asking: “What kind of leader do I want to become—and what would that version of me do today?”
The answer probably isn’t:
“Inject a risky drug and hope I keep the weight off.”
It’s more likely:
“Take full ownership. Upgrade my identity. Build habits that actually last.”
