Ozempic Diaries: Overcoming Plateaus and Progress Updates

In this episode, we talk about our third week on Ozempic.
We discuss the challenges of dealing with plateaus in weight loss and how it affects both our bodies and minds.

Charlene shares her struggles with energy levels due to iron absorption issues, while Jon updates us on his slight weight loss amidst a social weekend.

In "Ozempic Jonsplained", Jon monologues at length about weight loss plateaus, including water weight loss, metabolic slowdown, and set point theory.

We also cover strategies for overcoming these plateaus, such as increasing our Ozempic dosage, focusing in on hydration, sleep, and a positive mindset.
