The Ozempic Side Effect Nobody's Talking About

About this episode

Dr. Kenneth Brown discusses the overlooked side effects of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and their impact on gut health.

Losing weight on Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro but feeling bloated, constipated, and miserable? There's a reason, and a new Mayo Clinic study finally proves it. 76% of patients on GLP-1s tested positive for SIBO. 91% had methane overgrowth. Dr. Kenneth Brown breaks down why these drugs turn your small intestine into a swamp, why your microbiome decides if the drug even works, and the exact protocol to fix it without quitting the medication. If you're on a GLP-1 or thinking about it, watch this first.
