Wegovy, the blockbuster weight loss drug, is now approved for a new use: reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes and cardiovascular-related death in adults who have heart disease and are overweight or have obesity.

The new indication, which the Food and Drug Administration announced on Friday, will pave the way for even more patients to use the sought-after medication and could potentially broaden insurance coverage. The drugs maker, Novo Nordisk, said it had also filed for an expanded label in the European Union.

The F.D.A. approval was based on the results of a large study of over 17,000 adults ages 45 and older. Researchers either gave participants shots of Wegovy or a placebo and followed them for several years. Among those who received placebo shots, 8 percent had a heart attack, stroke or died from a cardiovascular event, compared with 6.5 percent of participants who took Wegovy.

While its not clear whether the effect of the drug is purely from weight loss, or whether the drug has other heart benefits, the data shows that when you treat obesity seriously in people who have a high burden of disease, you can get really good outcomes, said Dr. Melanie Jay, director of the N.Y.U. Langone Comprehensive Program on Obesity.

The new indication comes at a challenging moment for the relatively new class of drugs that includes Wegovy and Ozempic. The medications are highly effective, but costly: Wegovy has a list price of over $1,300 for about a months supply. And doctors typically say patients may need to take these drugs for the rest of their lives. Those cost considerations have led some employers and health plans to stop covering the medications, or to limit access or cap spending amid soaring demand.

The updated label will likely deepen the pressure on payers and employers to cover the drugs. Many of the patients who could qualify for Wegovy under the new indication may be on Medicare, said Dr. Andrew Kraftson, clinical associate professor in the division of metabolism, endocrinology and diabetes at Michigan Medicine.

Wegovy Approved By FDA to Reduce Heart Attack Risk - The New York Times

Summary

My 600-lb Life alum, Krystal Stoor, didnt have an easy weight-loss journey while filming season 12. The reality show recently returned to TV and premiered with Krystal's story, a 36-year-old Idaho resident who struggled with obesity. The first episode of My 600-lb Life season 12 started with Krystal waking up and talking about her current situation. She revealed she lived with her parents but hated that they had to care for her like a child. Krystal also discussed being in constant pain, even allowing the film crew to film her in the shower.

Krystals family talked about how she had always struggled with weight, being nearly 105 pounds in kindergarten. They were worried about her health but couldnt do anything about her food addiction. Krystal talked about how she got run over by an SUV in childhood, and it became a pivotal point, resulting in her weight gain. She also got pregnant at a young age and went through multiple breakups, which pushed her toward obesity. Krystal revealed she was finally happy with her latest boyfriend, Damian; however, she wanted to lose weight before getting married, so she should have a fresh start.

Krystals weight-loss journey began when she decided to consult Dr. Younan Nowzaradan. While she was worried about the 25-hour trip, it didnt stop her from taking the first step toward a healthier life. When Krystal did her first weigh-in, she discovered she weighed 690 pounds; however, Krystal was happy she wasnt over 700 pounds, but Dr. Now quickly humbled her. The surgeon gave her some exercise options and lifestyle changes to allow her to drop enough weight so she's cleared for bariatric surgery.

Krystal began working on herself in the coming months, exercising twice a day and making rapid progress. She began planning her wedding with Damian and getting ready to become his wife. Halfway through her episode, Krystal finally took the big step and tied the knot with her boyfriend. She couldnt wait to lose more weight and have her first dance with him. Dr. Now kept encouraging Krystal to stay active, and she continued to make him proud by sticking to her routine. Ultimately, the My 600-lb Life star lost 186 pounds, reaching 505 pounds, and received theweight-loss surgery.

Like most My 600-Lb Life cast members, Krystal was excited about her new life after bariatric surgery. She felt free as she was able to be more active and social after years of being trapped. According to Distractify, Krystal returned to Idaho and began living in Idaho Falls as a stay-at-home mom. She also broke up with Damian, which was unfortunate, because she saw a future with him. In mid-2023, the My 600-lb Life star hinted more at a new relationship. Unfortunately, she didnt say much about her weight loss or ongoing lifestyle.

Krystal reached 505 pounds in 12 months. She dropped a lot of weight ahead of her weight-loss journey but has since not shared about her ongoing wellness journey. Krystal may return to My 600-lb Life: Where Are They Now sometime in 2024 to share real-time updates on her life. Since Krystal is part of the latest season, it wouldnt be beneficial for her to share her updates. Shell likely share more about her life if she returns to the spin-off.

Many My 600-lb Life cast members face mistreatment outside the show. The preview clip of episode 1 showed Krystal at a grocery store with her family and noticed people making fun of her body. Luckily, Krystal had her family by her side and defended her by calling these people out for laughing and taking pictures of Krystal. The preview clip also showed Krystals daughter supporting her.

Things must have improved for Krystal over the last two years. At the end of her episode, she weighed 505 pounds, and Dr. Now even said Krystal should lose more weight post-surgery. The grocery incident occurred when Krystal was at her lowest point, weighing 690 pounds. However, Krystal has made efforts to improve herself since, and hopefully, she wont get the same reaction from people anymore.

Krystal is on social media but doesnt post much. She goes by Krystal Anglesey on Facebook, a newer account. According to her bio, she lost access to her other account and had to make a new one. Krystal has shared a few updates since the conclusion of her reality TV journey. She has seemingly moved to Idaho Falls, which she labels as her current city. She also started a relationship with Joey Ormsbee, which she discussed in November 2023.

Krystal hasnt posted many new photos since her weight-loss surgery and doesnt seem to have an Instagram. However, her new boyfriend is active on social media and has shared some recent pictures of Krystal. In January 2024, Joey posted a close-up selfie of Krystal, where she looked better than ever. Joey titled the post, isnt she beautiful yall, and got an immediate thank you from Krystal. The My 600-lb Life star looked much healthier and happier, suggesting shes likely to stick to her weight-loss regime and diet after the show.

My 600-lb Life airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.

What Happened To Krystal S. After My 600-Lb Life Season 12? - Screen Rant

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the weight-loss drug Wegovy as a treatment to reduce cardiovascular risk in adults who are overweight, the first approval of its kind that could dramatically expand the already huge market for the drug.

Wegovy, which has the same active ingredient as diabetes drug Ozempic, already had FDA approval to treat patients who are obese or overweight. It has become a cultural sensation and a blockbuster, bringing in billions of dollars in revenue for its manufacturer, Novo Nordisk.

Wegovy is now the first weight loss medication to also be approved to help prevent life-threatening cardiovascular events in adults with cardiovascular disease and either obesity or overweight, John Sharretts, a director in the FDAs Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a statement Friday.

We recognize how important this moment is for the millions of people who live with excess weight or obesity and known heart disease, and we will continue to advance options that put their needs first, Doug Langa, head of Novo Nordisks North American operations, said in a statement.

The FDAs expansion of Wegovys regulatory label comes after a closely watched clinical trial last year found that the drug dramatically reduced the risk of heart problems for overweight people. In a five-year study of more than 17,600 patients, Wegovy cut the risk of strokes, heart attacks and other cardiovascular problems by 20 percent among overweight adults with a history of heart disease. Expanding Wegovys regulatory label could also entice more insurers to cover the pricey drug, according to researchers and Wall Street analysts.

The result will pressure insurers and the federal government to cover this medication, said Harlan Krumholz, a cardiologist at the Yale School of Medicine. It will be increasingly difficult to deny people access to these medications, as this is not about appearance but concerns health.

Wegovy, whose active ingredient is semaglutide, works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). It slows the emptying of the stomach and sends a signal of fullness to the brain.

Some financial analysts say GLP-1 drugs, as theyre sometimes called, including Eli Lillys tirzepatide-based products Mounjaro and Zepbound, could become the biggest-selling class of drugs ever. In a December report, Goldman Sachs compared Novo Nordisk and Eli Lillys innovations with Amazon and Apple, saying they have the opportunity to expand into categories far beyond what most investors are currently contemplating.

But their dominance is far from assured, as competitors large and small are creating their own weight-loss drugs that rival the market-leading drugs. In addition, the high cost of the drugs the list price for a months supply of Wegovy costs more than $1,300 means some employers and insurance plans have been reluctant to cover the medications. Undesirable side effects, including nausea and vomiting, can also limit how long patients are willing to take the weekly injectable drug.

Demand for Wegovy has been so intense that Novo Nordisk has struggled to churn out enough, leading the FDA to declare the drug in shortage beginning in March 2022. Novo and Lilly are racing to secure enough manufacturing power to keep up with the growing demand for their marquee products.

Denmark-based Novo said in January that it had begun boosting supplies of Wegovy in the United States, after curtailing starting doses last year to ensure there would be enough for existing patients. Then in February, Novos controlling shareholder acquired Catalent, a manufacturer based in New Jersey, an unusual move that would give the drugmaker three new manufacturing plants.

On the front lines of battling obesity, some doctors caution that the FDAs decision does not mean insurers will quickly embrace paying for the drugs. At the Stanford Lifestyle and Weight Management Center at Stanford University, insurers routinely deny patients who qualify for the weight-loss drugs, often for opaque reasons, said Dan Azagury, the centers medical director.

He said he doesnt expect that to change, but the FDAs decision on Wegovy gives physicians one more leg to stand on when they are trying to justify to insurance companies that this treatment is the right treatment.

Dana P. Goldman, an economist at the University of Southern California, said insurers will eventually be able to negotiate lower prices for GLP-1 drugs. We are going to see a very steep discount on these products in the next couple years, he said, adding, The challenge will be scaling up production.

FDA approves weight-loss drug Wegovy to reduce heart-disease risks - The Washington Post

The popular weight-loss drug Wegovy, which has helped millions of Americans shed pounds, can now be used to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attacks and other serious cardiovascular problems in patients who are overweight or who have obesity,federal regulators said Friday.

The Food and Drug Administration approved a label change requested by drugmaker Novo Nordisk that expands the use of semaglutide.

The decision was based on theresults of a studythat found that Wegovy cut the risk of serious heart problems including heart attack, stroke and heart-related deaths. Higher-weight patients with heart disease but not diabetes were 20% less likely to experience those problems compared with patients who took placebo, or dummy shots, the study found.

Wegovy is the first medication approved to help prevent the potentially life-threatening events in this population, the agency said.

Providing a treatment option that is proven to lower this cardiovascular risk is a major advance for public health, said Dr. John Sharretts, who directs FDAs division of diabetes, lipid disorders and obesity.

The move will change the way many heart patients are treated, said Dr. Martha Gulati, a cardiologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. It confirms that the new class of obesity medications are useful for improving health, not just losing weight.

The hope is that insurers will start understanding that this is not a vanity drug, said Gulati, who estimated that nearly 70% of her heart patients could be eligible for treatment.

Wegovy is a higher-dose version of Ozempic, the diabetes treatment that was previously approved to cut the risk of serious heart problems in people with that disease. The weight-loss drug typically costs about $1,300 a month.

Novo Nordisk has also asked European Union regulators to expand the use of the drug for heart problems. EU regulators have not weighed in on the request.

The FDA cautioned that Wegovy carries the risk of serious side effects, including thyroid tumors and certain cancers. Other possible side effects can include low blood sugar; pancreas, gallbladder, kidney or eye problems; and suicidal behavior or thinking.

About a third of the more than 17,600 participants in the clinical trial reported serious side effects. About 17% in the group that took Wegovy and about 8% of those who received placebo left the study because of those effects.

The new indication could increase coverage of the drug by Medicare, experts said. The federal health insurance program for older Americans is currently barred by law from covering drugs for weight loss alone. The agency spent nearly $3 billion in 2021 covering Ozempic to treat diabetes, according to latest available figures.

Im not sure it opens the floodgates, but it would open the door to allow more people on Medicare to gain access to Wegovy, said Tricia Neuman, a Medicare policy specialist at KFF, a nonprofit that researches health policy.

Private insurers will evaluate the new indication for Wegovy before making coverage decisions, said a spokesperson for AHIP, Americas Health Insurance Plans, an industry trade group.

Drugmakers and obesity advocates have been pushing for expanded coverage,including legislationthat would require Medicare to pay for the obesity drugs.

At issue has been whether the cost of the expensive medications will be offset by the savings of reduced spending on medical care related to obesity and, now, heart disease.

One lingering obstacle to broader use is limited supply of the drug, which has beenin shortagefor more than a year, according to the FDA. Novo Nordisk officials say theyre working to increase production.

Wider access cant come soon enough, said Gulati.

Everybodys waiting to get this medication, she said. Lower the cost, dont be greedy and make sure the drug is available for use.

A SHOT of apple cider vinegar daily could help you lose weight in weeks, a study shows.

People who endured a sour start to the day shed up to 8kg (18lb) in just three months, Lebanese researchers found.

1

They also had better blood sugar and cholesterol measures after starting the routine.

Researchers said new guidelines could suggest obese people start taking a daily dose of the vinegar although perhaps not on chips.

Dr Rony Abou-Khalil, of Holy Spirit University of Kaslik, said: Apple cider might have potential benefits in improving metabolic parameters related to obesity.

The results might contribute to evidence-based recommendations for the use of apple cider vinegar as a dietary intervention in the management of obesity.

Around a quarter of English adults are obese, with a further 38 per cent overweight but not obese.

More than one billion people around the world are now obese, according to the World Health Organization.

Research has shown overweight people cost the NHS an extra 13.7billion a year.

Obesity is linked with a range of deadly conditions, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes and various forms of cancer.

Previous studies have shown drinking a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar can help people lose up to 4lb of weight in three months.

The latest research, published in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health, found the kitchen staple may have a larger effect.

Researchers gave doses of 5, 10 or 15ml of apple cider vinegar or a placebo mixed with 250ml of water to 120 young people.

This included 46 men and 74 women with an average age of 17 who were overweight or obese with a BMI between 27 and 34.

They recorded what they ate in a diet diary, and provided information on their physical activity.

Those drinking the vinegar lost between 6kg and 9kg on average and reduced their BMI by 2.7 to three points, depending on the dose.

People drinking the highest dose saw the largest weight loss and BMI drop, falling from an average of 77 kg to just over 70 kg.

Apple cider vinegar may offer benefits for weight loss and for lowering blood sugar

At 10ml, the average weight went from 79 kg to 72 kg, and at 5ml they dropped from 79 to 74kg.

Those on the placebo were left with a sour taste in their mouth, seeing their weight stay around 79kg on average

Independent experts said the amount of weight lost by people on apple cider vinegar was remarkable but warned it is not a silver bullet for health.

Dr Daisy Coyle, of the George Institute for Global Health, said: Apple cider vinegar may offer benefits for weight loss and for lowering blood sugar.

While apple cider vinegar may offer some short-term health benefits, particularly for young and overweight individuals, it should not be viewed as a solution to the obesity epidemic.

Losing weight should be a long-term commitment to healthier living, rather than any drastic measures.

The NHS tips - which can be adopted slowly - include:

Daily shot of kitchen cupboard staple could help you shed 18lb in just 3 months, scientists say... - The Sun

Media mogul, bread-lover, and weight-loss warrior Oprah Winfrey is releasing a new TV special on March 18 on ABC (and streaming on Hulu March 19) called An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution. This special will be exploring the controversial, growing trend of people using alternative methods to lose weight. It will feature a signature sit-down conversation with Oprah with medical experts and everyday people who have used Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, and other prescription diabetes and weight loss medications.

In a press statement, Winfrey said, It is a very personal topic for me and for the hundreds of millions of people impacted around the globe who have for years struggled with weight and obesity.

The billionaire will talk to her guests about health equity and obesity, intending to ultimately release the shame, judgment, and stigma surrounding weight.

Oprah doesnt do anything without intention. And its obvious that from the start of her stance in the spotlight, Winfrey has dealt with weight loss issues and has been transparent about her struggle. Shes been scrutinized, judged, and ultimately shamed through the years for her weight loss journey.

Winfrey decided to rid herself of any shame attached to getting assistance with her weight loss. She told PEOPLE, The fact that theres a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for. Im absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself. And now, she also wants the public to rid themselves of the shame with her special.

I had an awareness of [weight-loss] medications, but felt I had to prove I had the willpower to do it. I now no longer feel that way, Winfrey said as she moderated a The State of Weight panel alongside obesity specialists Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford and Dr. Melanie Jay, psychologist Dr. Rachel Goldman and Sima Sistani, the CEO of WeightWatchers in 2023. A very svelte Winfrey shared how she overcame her own shame related to taking medication to slim down, though avoiding details on what medication she took.

Winfrey said, Even when I first started hearing about the weight loss drugs, at the same time I was going through knee surgery, and I felt, Ive got to do this on my own. Because if I take the drug, thats the easy way out. She continued, It should be yours to own and not to be shamed about it. As a person whos been shamed for so many years, Im just sick of it. Im just sick of it. Im just sick of it.

Winfrey was also a spokesperson and board member for Weight Watchers, a weight loss lifestyle brand. She has since stepped down and proposed donating her 10% share in the company to the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC).

Oprah Winfrey To Address Ozempic And Other Weight Loss Aids In New TV Special - BET

Rob Lowe is joining the conversation surrounding popular weight loss aids.

The 9-1-1: Lone Star star, 59, recently spoke to PEOPLE about some of the health goals hes hoping to reach ahead of his 60th birthday next month.

Stressing his commitment to overall health and wellness, the actor shares his concern with people relying on weight loss drugs, referring to medications like Ozempic, an FDA-approved prescription medication for people with type 2 diabetes.

It's one of the brand names for semaglutide also known as Wegovy which works in the brain to impact satiety, and is the latest Hollywood weight loss trend.

I see people who are taking all the new weight loss drugs and that's great, and it's really changed their lives. But my concern always is, okay, now what? Lowe tells PEOPLE. Whats the plan for the longevity of everything?

I never ever talk about diets, I talk about lifestyle, he adds.

Lowe is known for keeping a toned physique over the years, but he admits that his weakness tends to be his diet often giving in to his raging sweet tooth.

However, he says reeling in his eating will likely come from moderation rather than cutting out his favorites, giving him a better shot at maintaining the lifestyle change.

I'm trying to be even more disciplined now as I'm older just because as you get older, you need to watch what you eat even more than when you were younger, he explains. So I tried to cut sugar completely as my new year's resolution. And now I'm figuring, okay, that's not sustainable for me, but how do I really watch my sugar consumption?

Although hes hopeful about making improvements in his diet, Lowe notes that hes never struggled when it comes to having a good grasp on fitness, boasting that he feels better than Ive ever felt.

The Waynes World star says hes lucky to have natural motivation and is always willing to stay active.

I can't wait to train or to do something physical, he says. I have very good friends and family that have to be dragged into doing something physical that would be super tough to overcome.

I am blessed that I really enjoy physical exertion and adventure, he adds. So if I'm not on a set, I build my entire day around what activity I'm going to do. It might be a paddle in the ocean, a hike, running sprints on the track, pickleball, tennis. I'm pretty much up for anything.

It's a lifestyle, Lowe tells PEOPLE, noting that his latest health goal is trying to find the balance between longevity and consistency and non-injury and pushing myself as hard as I ever did.

One (1) fat burner Five (5) different actions Over one hundred and ninety thousand (190,000+) happy users worldwide | Well, what is PhenQ? (useful information/ pros and cons/active ingredients/dosage) -

Gym Instructor Experts and Dietitians reviewing this mighty Fat Burner!

Getting involved in a weight loss "journey" is a huge decision.

It is no coincidence that usually this decision of yours is postponed continuously, and from Monday to Monday.

This is a long and rough "journey", with many surprises/difficulties/emotional effects/and ups and downs.

In fact, losing fat and getting rid of stubborn fat is a huge achievement requiring time, persistence, patience and dedication.

Scoring results in the process of losing weight does not need "extremes", starvation diets, or exhausting workouts that "destroy" the body.

Losing weight needs a "system".

It is an effort that requires coordination, firm commitment, and certainly knowledge.

What I mean is that, you must know the needs of your body so it remains healthy and fully functional during your "journey" towards weight loss.

This includes a healthy lifestyle, with regular physical exercise, sufficient and quality sleep, a balanced diet and elimination of stress from everyday life.

I understand that all this sounds "too much" and "impossible".

Indeed, it is a painful process for changing and adapting your life to more "healthy" standards.

Anyhow, achieving a healthier and younger body, and the body of your dreams is the "reward".

Therefore, on your "journey" - in order not to get "lost" along the way - it is good to have a trusted "companion" and "ally" to face the upcoming difficulties.

Can the PhenQ diet pill help your weight and body fat loss effort?

Let's get to know it a little better.

As already mentioned, losing weight is a very difficult journey, however, it leads you to improved health and a better quality of life.

In any case, the truth is that it often takes weeks or even months, before the benefits become visible, a reality that might lead the person to frustration and cancellation of the effort.

Some people even needed years of consistent, coordinated and disciplined effort to reach their goal.

Perseverance and patience are therefore two (2) of the most important virtues if you want to lose weight.

It is no coincidence that now most people (men and women) select a weight loss pill in this effort.

Fat burners are today the most popular nutritional supplement in the entire world, and in fact with millions of sales and thousands of products from different companies and different actions.

It is the "ally" you need in this long and scary journey.

It is the "friend" that stimulates your discipline and persistence (offering you really visible results) and helps you not to give up on your goals prematurely.

Fat burners - especially when they are really effective - are an important help for someone wishing to lose weight, less or more.

They act as a catalyst, accelerating progress and increasing benefits.

When combined with a balanced diet and exercise program... then they can make your organism work like a fat burning "machine".

PhenQ, in particular, is the longest lasting natural fat burner in the world today.

It has managed to attract significant attention and very positive reviews in its over ten (10+) years of existence (so far).

For this reason, we selected in this article to try to "discover" all the pros and weaknesses of this popular pill.

Let's see if PhenQ really is the key to achieving your weight loss goals.

To help you make an informed decision about your own "weight loss journey" .

PhenQ is a natural weight loss product created by a world-renowned and accepted nutritional supplement company.

It is an excellent supplement for fat loss and appetite suppression, which undertakes to help you drastically (by combating at their root all the factors that contribute to weight gain) to achieve your goal.

A dreamy and healthy body.

Created by Wolfson Brands, a UK based health and wellness supplement company with a very strong reputation in the health supplement industry, PhenQ is a safe weight loss proposition.

For PhenQ, its creators selected a powerful blend of seven (7) natural ingredients, clinically tested/safe/and 100% effective.

Even the dosages of the ingredients selected for PhenQ are not random.

They emerged after successive research and tests, and were finalized as the most efficient and at the same time safe.

What you should know (especially if you have never heard of this product before) is that it is a natural supplement created with the aim of achieving the effect of a powerful pharmaceutical fat burner, Phentermine.

Phentermine is a common prescription anti-obesity drug, used on the order and supervision of a doctor in serious health cases that require an immediate reduction in body weight for health reasons.

It is a specially designed product to target stubborn body fat and "reboot" dormant metabolism.

The natural diet pill PhenQ is a legal and safe alternative to Phentermine.

What makes PhenQ stand out from other diet pills (over-the-counter) is the unique strategy followed to achieve the desired weight loss.

It is a product that ensures five (5) actions together in just one (1) pill.

First, it suppresses the desire to eat.

Second, it boosts physical and mental energy levels.

Third, it stimulates metabolic function and increases fat breakdown in the body.

Fourth, it prevents the creation of new fat cells.

And fifth, it promotes a good sleep/elimination of stress/and good psychology.

With more than one hundred and ninety thousand (190,000) satisfied users around the world, PhenQ has rightfully earned the number one spot today as the "Top Natural Fat Burner".

PhenQ - as already mentioned above - is the longest lasting fat burner on the market, and this is not just a coincidence.

It stands out from all other supplements with its unique ingredient formula, which targets five (5) weight loss actions together.

Below, you can see the active ingredients that make PhenQ really effective, almost as effective as the pharmaceutical Phentermine.

PhenQ has a "heavy weapon" in its formula. This important ingredient is called -Lacys Reset and is a specially formulated blend of alpha lipoic acid, cysteine and magnesium.

This mixture has a strengthening effect on the metabolism and enhances the body's thermogenic process (to enhance the burning of calories, day and night).

This proprietary blend has been proven (by numerous tests) to positively contribute to the difficult process of weight loss, and the body's muscle recovery from the wear and tear of physical exercise.

In other words, it helps to reduce stored fat and body weight, while simultaneously protecting lean muscle mass and actively contributing to its reconstruction.

Another key ingredient in PhenQ natural fat burner is Capsimax Powder, a super-active blend containing niacin, bioperine, caffeine and hot pepper extract.

The combination of these powerful thermogenic ingredients of nature created a "bomb" against stubborn fat.

Each of these active ingredients helps increase the body's internal temperature, ultimately leading the body to break down fat (through thermogenesis) and convert it into valuable energy.

This is everything in weight loss.

It promotes lipolysis (and weight loss) without sacrificing muscle mass.

In addition, the Capsimax Powder mixture is also among the most powerful and effective natural appetite suppressants and promotes a healthier diet without effort.

Chromium Picolinate is the next ingredient found in PhenQ, and it is worth understanding its action.

The creators of PhenQ selected to incorporate into their formula another "unique" ingredient, the Chromium Picolinate, a mineral that has the natural ability to regulate blood sugar levels.

This has the effect of drastically helping the user's appetite control and achieving a reduction in their cravings for unhealthy/fattening foods (i.e. bad fats, carbs and sweets).

In addition, Chromium Picolinate is a natural ingredient that - by supporting the function of insulin - promotes the conversion of fat accumulated in the body into useful energy for the body (so the person can use it in the physical and mental activities).

Who doesn't know that caffeine is the most powerful natural stimulant, and the number one choice in natural weight loss supplements?

Surely - as expected - it could not be absent from the formula of the leading fat burner PhenQ.

Those who exercise know very well the positive benefits of caffeine in fat loss...

Nevertheless, how does caffeine work in the organism?

How does it promote the burning of excess body fat and weight loss?

Here everything, in detail.

As is well known, caffeine is a stimulant substance, therefore it helps to boost a person's energy levels and fight fatigue resulting from the weight loss process (diet and exercise).

Caffeine is a powerful fat-dissolving substance. What it does is to help detach/mobilize fat from the body's adipose tissues (so it can eventually be metabolized and turned into energy).

This is done by stimulating the nervous system to send "signals" to fat cells to break down fat.

However, this results from another property of caffeine, to increase the levels of the hormone epinephrine in the blood.

The organism's natural hormone epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) circulates throughout the body through the bloodstream, and eventually reaches the body's fatty tissues.

As it gets there it breaks down the fats and releases them into the blood.

Finally, caffeine (with its stimulating properties) increases the organism's metabolic rate in the short term and activates fat burning in the body.

PhenQ selected to utilize another "treasure" of nature, the Nopal Cactus.

The power of the Nopal cactus rests on its enormous content of beneficial dietary fiber and essential amino acids for the organism, it is - so to speak - a real "health ally", and a unique "weight loss ally".

It has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for a variety of health problems, but - especially in recent years it is found with increasing frequency in natural health supplements.

The reason lies in the valuable health/wellness/weight loss benefits it provides to organisms.

Therefore, it is no coincidence that the fruit of this cactus (Nopal Cactus) is now also used in dietary supplements for appetite control and weight loss.

Its abundant plant fibers - as they enter the stomach and come into contact with the stomach fluids - swell and create a feeling of satiety in the person (as if a very rich and filling meal preceded it).

In this way, the person achieves better (and more efficient) long-term control of the intake of calories/day.

Certainly, this means a reduction in body weight and fat loss.

L-Carnitine Fumarate is the next powerful fat burner in the PhenQ formula.

It is an amino acid playing a vital role in fat breakdown and energy production.

Its action is found in the transfer of fatty acids to the mitochondria, a process that ultimately results in stored fat being converted into available energy for the body to use in its daily activities.

In addition, PhenQ helps fight fatigue (physical and mental) and contributes to an improved physical condition and a more "elevated" performance in physical exercise.

Innoslim is another patented mixture found in the renewed formula of the leading fat burner PhenQ.

This blend consists of ginseng and astragalus, two (2) very beneficial natural ingredients proven to contribute drastically to weight loss by stimulating the release of powerful "fat-burning" hormones.

With Innoslim in its formula, PhenQ reduces the absorption of carbohydrates as they are digested in the gut, resulting in fewer calories being taken in from meals.

For years, intimate scenes from Whitney Way Thores life have been chronicled on her TLC reality show, My Big Fat Fabulous Life. That publicity seems to make some people feel comfortable commenting on her body and her weight. On a recent Instagram post, the 39-year-old was inundated with commenters asking if she had

The post was a casual outfit video that shared the theme of her dads birthday celebration: Mardi Gras. Can anyone guess what were doing to celebrate Dads birthday? , her original caption read. She later edited the post to address the influx of weight loss comments.

I hate addressing this, but no, I have not had medical intervention to lose weight, she wrote. In 2015 (season 1), I weighed 385 pounds. In 2018, I lost 50 pounds. When my mom got sick and eventually died, I lost 50 more. I weigh 285 pounds and I have been this weight for almost a year now. This is the second time in my life Ive lost 100 pounds. Im still very fat.

She continued: Thank you for the compliments, but I really dont like obsessing over my body and I dont like it when others do it either.

Thores mom, Barbara Babs Thore, died in December 2022 of cerebral amyloid angiopathy, a complex cerebrovascular disorder, per People. As shown on her show, Thore cared for Babs until her final days, and was hit hard with griefa significant contributor to her weight loss, she previously told Entertainment Tonight.

I think its obvious that I have lost some weight and that is true. And people say, like, Is it surgery? and Im like, No, its grief, but thanks, she told the outlet in September 2023. On the show, Ill talk about my weight more, but in my personal life, I dont really find it necessary to talk about how much I weigh. Its just not something that I care to focus on and talk about.

When the show premiered in 2015, it set out to document Thores experience with weight gain after she was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome, an endocrine disorder that impacts hormonal production, reception, and transportation. The series specifically aimed to capture Thores thriving life as a dancer, despite her weight gain. Although she says she has not opted to undergo surgery or use weight loss injections like Ozempicwhich some have also accused her of doingshe isnt one to judge those that do.

Ive been fat now for 20 years and fat in the public eye. I know how hard it is and I do not ever judge a fat person for doing anything that makes their lives easier. I am not that fat person thats gonna say, Oh my gosh, why are they on Ozempic? Why are they losing weight? Theyre betraying me. Its their body. It has nothing to do with me and its hard out here for a blimp, she told ET. It is really difficult to live in bodies like this and there is no judgment from me.

Its clear Thore doesnt like to obsess over her body, and she doesnt think anyone else should either.

Whitney Way Thore Responds to Weight Loss Comments in Candid Post - Prevention Magazine

Ozempic is no laughing matter for the comedian. Handler revealed her "anti-aging doctor" prescribed her the medication without realizing what the drug was.

"I didn't even know I was on it," she said during the Jan. 25, 2023 episode ofCall Her Daddy. "She said, 'If you ever want to drop five pounds,this is good.'"

But while she tried the drug, Handler noted that she didn't like how it made her feel.

"I came back from a vacation and I injected myself with it," she recalled. "I went to lunch with a girlfriend a few days later, and she was like, 'I'm not really eating anything. I'm so nauseous, I'm on Ozempic.' And I was like, 'I'm kind of nauseous too.' But I had just come back from Spain and was jet-lagged."

Ultimately, Handler stopped using the drugbecause it wasn't medically necessary for her, adding thatshe gave away the remaining doses to friends.

"I've injected about four or five of my friends with Ozempic, because I realized I didn't want to use it because it was silly," she said. "It's for heavy people. I have people coming over to my house, and I'm like, 'OK, I can see you at 1, I can see you at 2.'"
