Why I Don’t Believe in Weight Loss Drugs — And What I Recommend Instead

May 28, 2025
Medications

These days, it feels like everyone is talking about Ozempic, Wegovy, or some new miracle weight loss drug. I get asked about them all the time.

And here’s my answer — plain and simple:

As a chiropractor, I don’t prescribe medication — and I don’t believe it’s the solution.

Not because I’m against medicine, but because I’ve seen firsthand what happens when people rely on quick fixes instead of healing their bodies from the inside out.

And I’ve lived it.

I Was the Patient Who Tried the “Quick Fix”

Before I ever specialized in helping patients lose weight naturally, I was a chiropractor fighting to stay alive in a 400-pound body. I tried everything — even gastric bypass. It nearly killed me.

What no one tells you is that whether it’s a surgery or a shot, these fast-track solutions can come with serious consequences: nausea, weakness, mood swings, nutrient deficiencies, even long-term damage. And the worst part? The weight often comes right back once you stop.

What I needed back then wasn’t another hack — I needed a system that worked with my body, not against it.

Why I Don’t Believe Weight Loss Drugs Are the Answer

Let’s break it down:

They don’t fix the root cause
Most weight gain stems from deeper issues — poor gut health, hormonal imbalance, metabolic damage, emotional eating, and toxic overload. Drugs often mask symptoms instead of helping you heal.

The side effects are very real
I’ve seen people feel great for a few weeks… then crash. Nausea, fatigue, hair loss — even anxiety. And once the medication stops? The weight comes back stronger.

They create dependency
You shouldn’t have to rely on weekly injections to feel okay in your own body. That’s not healing — that’s survival mode.

They ignore the emotional and behavioral piece
You can't inject your way into healthy habits. Long-term weight loss requires mindset shifts, emotional work, and lifestyle changes. Pills and shots won’t teach you that.

What I Recommend Instead

As a chiropractor, my focus has always been on restoring proper function to the body — particularly the spine and nervous system — and supporting natural healing from the inside out. That same philosophy is what guides my weight loss approach today.

I help my patients rebuild, not just lose. Here's what that looks like:

✅ A deep gut reset to improve digestion and metabolism
✅ Mineral balancing to support energy and fat-burning
✅ Addressing emotional triggers tied to food
✅ Real food — no starvation, no gimmicks
✅ Non-invasive body contouring for stubborn fat
✅ Ongoing support, coaching, and education

And yes — it works. Without prescriptions. Without crash diets. Without putting your health at risk.

You Deserve More Than a Shortcut

If you’re feeling tempted by injections or pills, I get it. I’ve been there. When you’re stuck, anything seems better than staying the same.

But there’s a better way — one that works with your body, not against it.

You don’t need a prescription to feel in control. You need a real plan, backed by someone who’s lived through the struggle and come out stronger.
