Ozempic: Sabotage by Siege Because Obesity is Really Starvation

Obesity is starvation. Nourishment is the solution. Ozempic and every other weight loss drug, herb and hormone just adds fuel to the fire.

Obesity is due to starvation, not overeating.

The solution is consuming more, not less.

The increased appetite and resulting stubborn fat are misinterpreted messages that are meant to convey a deep need for what’s actually missing.

“CICO!” they proclaim. Meaning: Calories in Calories out, i.e. the cause is too many calories.

In terms of helpfulness this idea is dead on arrival. It’s only trivially true in certain circumstances (ignoring the body’s ability to change its own metabolism based on inputs including what you choose to eat to get those calories).

It’s like saying the cause of forest fires is focused heat making wood burn.

No kidding.

But just knowing that doesn’t help stop forest fires. To stop forest fires you need to know about the mismanagement of forests. For example not allowing small, scattered and intermittent natural burns to get rid of highly flammable underbrush until it collects to such an extent that when it finally does light on fire there’s no stopping it from spreading everywhere. And there’s much more in the same vein of simply respecting natural ecosystems. Understanding how the natural system works to minimize destructive fires and if not helping it, at least getting out of its way, is what can stop devastating forest fires.

Digging deeper to the real root cause is what leads to real solutions for problems. Not trying to hack your way around the superficial causes, without asking, “Why is this person eating more calories than is healthy?” Why is this natural system, which has enforced normal body weight since the beginning of time, suddenly broken in the last century, harming ever more people with each passing year?

One of the primary reasons driving obesity is that people who are starving are really hungry and eat a lot of food.

The key to understanding this is that they aren’t starving for calories, but for micronutrients.

The body is wired to expect calories will be rich in nutrients and when starving of micronutrients it makes sense to increase appetite. However, this natural feedback loop is thoroughly disrupted by modernity with its prevalence of nutritionally empty junk food.

On the other hand the appetite in obesity may not only be for missing micronutrients. Humans have many needs that overlap and create a phenomenon of “referred pain”.

There are some famous clinical signs taught in med school that illustrate this phenomenon at the physical level. For example a patient might present with pain of the right shoulder, when it’s really their gallbladder that’s inflamed. Or there may be pain in the center of the abdomen, which is really due to inflammation of the appendix located in the lower right. Every brain stroke illustrates the point perfectly: the location where the problem is first detected doesn’t always tell you where the problem really is.

As far as weight gain goes there are many physical causes not often detected by testing that manifest as increased appetite and weight gain including most commonly hypothyroidism.

While these are all examples taken from the physical body we can find ready examples of this phenomenon occurring between different aspects of the human being that move beyond the physical.

Emotional eating is the most obvious and pertinent one. Depression, anxiety, lack of fulfillment and more can all lead to increased appetite to fill an emotional, rather than physical void.

Modernity creates a perfect storm of missing nutrients at various levels not just the physical (micronutrients, sleep, intimacy, movement), but also energetic (light/dark cycles, natural electromagnetic fields including Schuman Resonances), emotional (intimacy, connection, gratitude), intellectual (meaning, purpose, plans, motivations, perspective, world view), and spiritual (rejection of higher realities, the next world and divine connection)

Even this perfect storm can be successfully weathered, but only if you understand what the real cause is and address it, instead of glibly throwing terms like CICO around and telling people to just force themselves to eat less and exercise more, approaches that, like the misguided “solutions” to forest management, actually make the problem even worse. People feel even more starved and often don’t lose weight even though they may be in a caloric deficit most of the time. Their bodies alter hormonal and neurotransmitter levels, enforcing even less activity, doing whatever it takes to hold on to the fat as they sense they’re in the midst of a famine.

So the physical solution to obesity involves eating far more nutritious food in order to get the micronutrients you need, along with synchronizing your circadian rhythms to help optimize your stress hormones so that instead of making you fat they power you through productive days, and sleeping enough so your body can properly recover every day from the hard work of living.

Doing that will lead to weight loss, but the real trick comes from focusing on the deeper levels and filling up your energetic, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual buckets. When you do that while having a proper understanding of your physical needs, it all just tends to fall into place automatically.

I’ve done this myself and lost 75 pounds without feeling deprived, without cravings, without forcing myself to eat less. If you understand what your body is telling you, you can give it what it needs and actually fix the problem.

If a scientist misunderstands what the body is saying they will offer you solutions that focus on the superficial while worsening the actual problem.

It is possible to drop pounds without fixing the root cause starvation by hacking the system, but as is the case with all false prophets, “by their fruits you will know them.”

A medical paradigm that looks for ways to starve the already starving has missed the forest fire for the trees. Much heralded “solutions” like Ozempic and its like just add fuel to a raging fire and this becomes obvious when we examine its mechanism of action and some of its side effects. No wonder when people stop taking it their weight rebounds with a vengeance. With Ozempic the biggest loss is not in pounds, it’s in the lost opportunity for real emotional and spiritual growth afforded by understanding what your body is getting at and giving your self what it actually needs to advance in its life journey.

For those interested in all the details the following is a 15,000 word deep dive covering:

1. How obesity is caused by deficiencies, which then trigger toxicity and pathogenicity, which themselves cause a self-reinforcing vicious feedback loop.

2. Ozempic is dissected to show how it worsens the underlying deficiency, toxicity and pathogenicity along with representative side effects which reflect the same.

3. Then, we apply a similar analysis to all the other common weight loss drugs prescribed today, including: phentermine, Qsymia (phentermine-topamax, Contrave (bupropion-naltrexone), Saxenda (liraglutide), and Xenical/Alli (orlistat).

4. Finally, we show how what some might term more “natural” approaches like the herb Ma Huang and supplemental thyroid hormone, both still used on the fringes for weight loss by some patients and practitioners, are similarly flawed and ultimately harmful for the overweight or obese.

   These analyses should serve to strengthen the baseline assumption that any similar approach using any other drug, herb or hormone, will lead to similar problems.

   The solution to obesity will never be found in a pill, potion or injection.
