The Ozempic Revolution

A Doctor’s Proven Plan for Success to Help You Reverse Obesity, End Yo-Yo Dieting, and Protect Yourself from Disease

By: Alexandra Sowa

Narrated by: Alexandra Sowa

The first comprehensive user guide to GLP-1s (such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound) with an overview of how they work and possible side effects. Also including companion recipes, exercise guidance, and new habits to maintain lifelong health and keep weight off for good.

The newest class of weight loss drugs (GLP-1s) are complete game-changers in their potential to reverse obesity and its related diseases, with nearly 50% of Americans qualifying for the use of these drugs. Already 1 in 8 Americans say they’ve tried a GLP-1 medication—but with many acquiring their prescription from online pharmacies, med spas, and general practitioners, they face a huge gap between trying the drug and achieving their health goals with it long-term.

That’s where The Ozempic Revolution comes in. Alexandra Sowa, MD, a leading obesity medicine specialist, shares her expertise on this much-discussed but largely misunderstood class of medica­tions, including information like:

• What the GLP-1 experience really feels like
• How to know if you’re a candidate for these medications
• How to get a prescription and get it covered by insurance
• How to manage and reduce unwanted side effects
• Unique food plans and strategies for managing the mental challenges of losing weight
• Simple, easy recipes for when you don’t feel like eating

Traditional and social media has been flooded with junk information and stigmatizing headlines about GLP-1s, and in this book, Dr. Sowa digs into all of it—the good, the bad, and the ugly—bringing the science to light.

If you’re curious about how GLP-1s might fit into your life, or want to optimize your experience while taking them, then Dr. Sowa’s clear-eyed, fully informed approach is a must-hear. The Ozempic revolution changes everything: these drugs finally provide a viable, healthy, and sane way to lose weight, avoid disease, and maintain your health gains for life.

Lovely narration of facts and science for achieving health goals with weight loss drugs

In this well written book, Dr Alexandra Sowa skillfully guides the listener through the science and reality of weight loss drugs like Ozempic. She addresses the mis-information and misconceptions we’ve all heard. Using many examples drawn from patient experiences in her 10-year practice, she explains what people need to know and do to achieve good health. Her narration is a pleasure. She speaks in a tone of expertise and humanity using perfect diction. I learned a great deal about the subject and enjoyed every sentence.

Heavy on the meat based protein

It was very knowledgeable book however if your plant based there's not a lot of recipes or support in this book. I was taken aback by how bone broth (which us usually full of heavy metals) was suggested to consume. Some information is great and informative. I found many facts to be interested and supportive. But this books seemed to hover over a specific genre of people who only consume a certain cultural style of food.

Clinician perspective

Excellent read on the obesity epidemic and treating it just like all chronic diseases. A good source for doctors with examples and recommendations. Thank you!!!

Must listen for GLP-1 users

This book is for anyone on, or considering, GLP-1 medications. Dr.Sowa teaches her thoughtful, science based and holistic approach to helping people on a weight loss journey with GLP-1s. I’m going to be recommending this to all of my doctors and friends.

Wish I had this book 15 months ago when I started Mounjaro.

I’m on my third time listening to this book. A must for anyone on Or beginning their journey with GLP-1s.

Glp-1 for beginners

Nice pacing, good information, and it was really well done. There is a lot of good information in it that no one talks about before deciding to go on GLP-1

Informative book

It was very informative and has changed my view on weight loss meds. I have been thinking about trying Ozempic, but have been fearful. I have struggled with my weight most of my life. Tried every diet out there, and thought this was another fad diet. After listening to the book I don’t feel like it’s a fad and have a better understanding of obesity and Ozempic.

Fantastic Read

I really enjoyed the explanation of the GLP-1's in their various formulas and how to maximize the benefit through active lifestyle and healthy eating.

I may have shed a few tears reading this book

I was a bit leery purchasing this book. I realize Dr. Sowa has a brand and products, and I didn't want this book to be full of advertising or pushing what I cannot afford. That was far from the case. Dr. Sowa did a phenomenal job with explaining while educating about obesity and the weight loss drugs available. I cried a few times in listening, realizing how much shame I have carried for so long with my obesity. Dr. Sowa's matter of fact approach really helped move this book along and I can maintain the information needed. If you are on the fence about reading this book, and on Glp-1 medication, I highly encourage you to purchase it and think of it as a tool to keep handy for your weight loss journey.

Every on planning to lose weight using medication needs this book. I enjoyed the book !
