The 4 rules to protect your muscle, bones and brain health when using Ozempic and other weight loss injections | Dr Federica Amati
What was said
"There was a patient in the UK who had scurvy. So bleeding gums, people couldn't understand what was going on. He'd been taking these drugs without any support and just hadn't been eating fruits and vegetables, basically."
A shocking case study revealed extreme micronutrient deficiency in a patient taking GLP-1 medications unsupervised, developing the historically rare disease scurvy due to complete absence of vitamin C from fruits and vegetables. Dr. Amati cited another case where a patient showed early dementia symptoms that were later attributed to severe brain micronutrient deficiencies from poor diet quality while on the drugs.
