You've likely heard the catchy commercials on TV for the diabetic drug Ozempic and in recent weeks, it has become the source of a weight loss craze.

Dr. Jim LaValle is the author of 'Cracking the Metabolic Code' and the Clinical Director for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Performance Health Program. He indicates this drug is actually meant for people with diabetes but it has turned into a weight loss drug.

According to Dr. LaValle, one of the issues with the drug is when an individual stops using it, they regain all the weight they've lost. He says this is not surprising as the drug is not addressing the root causes of a person's poor health.

Dr. LaValle says if you are using this drug, make sure you are being appropriately evaluated because some of the side effects can be impactful on your organs. He implores users to have a baseline test done before going on Ozembic.
