"Ozempic Feet" and "Ozempic Mouth?" New GLP1 side effects?

"Ozempic feet" has been seen everywhere on social media, a GLP-1 side effect causing overly wrinkled feet. On instagram, a photo of Sharon Osbourne barefoot sparked this conversation.

"Ozempic mouth" is now also being reported describing sunken cheeks, wrinkles around the mouth, and jowls due to quick weight loss on a GLP1.

"Ozempic butt" is being touted as happening when skin sags around the buttocks with weight loss on a GLP 1.

Should you be worried? Can you prevent these side effects on semaglutide (Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Zepbound)?

Prevention? Aim for at least 50-60 g of protein per day and strength training 2-3 times per week. Great protein ideas are greek yogurt, cottage cheese, beef jerky sticks, tofu, edamame, meat, fish, protein powders or shakes.

Aim for anti-aging foods. Foods rich in antioxidants like green tea, berries and nuts are great choices. Fatty fish like salmon and avocados are beneficial due to their omega-3 fatty acids and healthy fats. Tomatoes and dark chocolate have antioxidants and can improve skin health.

Skin care cannot be missed as well. Vitamin C serums, Retinol, Suncreen and Exosomes are game changers. Reply to this email or text 6313746895 if you need recommendations.

🌟What Supplements should you take on GLP-1s?

1. Multivitamins: A good quality, clean multivitamin. (Our recommendation)
   This will help increase energy if you have fatigue as well as provide extra nutrients if not eating enough calories.

2. Vitamin D (if low): It is anti-inflammatory, an antioxidant and its neuroprotective properties support immune health, muscle function and brain cell activity. Low Vitamin D can also be linked to higher weight.

3. Fiber. If you are suffering with constipation, please supplement with fiber daily. Also drink 2-3 L of water per day and increase fruits and veggies in your diet.

4. Biotin & Collagen- If you are one of the 3-5% of patients experiencing hair loss or suffering from fatigue and tiredness the day after your injection, there are a couple of things you can do. Eat 1000 cal per day, 50 g protein per day, use Vegamour hair products and use biotin & collagen daily found here.

5. Magnesium. Magnesium citrate can help with constipation while magnesium glycinate can help with headaches and trouble sleeping.
