Ozempic is not magic. If you’re lying to yourself, it will fail. Obesity is the
symptom. Depression is the real disease.

Before you start Ozempic (or Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound), watch this. In this video I share the story of a patient who gained weight while on Wegovy, and why untreated depression, trauma, and emotional eating can sabotage even the most powerful medication.

This series will break down:
• What Ozempic really does to your body
• Why emotional eating bypasses GLP-1s
• The hidden reasons people fail on Ozempic
• How to actually succeed with weight loss long-term

They told you statins would melt your muscles. But what they didn’t tell you… your heart is a muscle too.

In this episode, Dr. Albert Takem takes on one of the most dangerous myths spreading on TikTok, Reddit, and YouTube: that statins cause muscle damage, rhabdomyolysis, and weakness.

The Truth:
- Mild muscle aches happen in some people, but severe muscle breakdown is extremely rare (Less than 0.1%).
- The nocebo effect (fear itself) is responsible for many of the “side effects” blamed on statins.
- Stopping statins because of misinformation doesn’t just risk sore legs — it risks a heart attack, stroke, or death.

Dr. Takem shares the story of a patient who quit his statin after watching TikTok videos… and came back with three stents and one unforgettable regret: “Doc… I wish I had just taken the damn pill.”

■ Don’t let misinformation cost you your life. Watch until the end — the next episode reveals the truth about statins and diabetes.
