Ozempic shortages and high costs have prompted some patients to turn to compounded versions of these medications. What many may not realize -- compounded drugs are not the same as FDA-approved medications. So, is using compounded Ozempic and other weight loss medications safe? Our co-founder, Dr. Christopher Thompson, examines the issue in his latest article for Forbes. https://lnkd.in/e9Z5m5kb

"If you had cancer, would you stay home and focus on changing your diet rather than seeking medical treatment? Of course not. So why are 96% of Americans with this disease not seeking medical help?" New Video Alert! Our cofounder Christopher C. Thompson, MD MSc FASGE FACG AGAF discusses why obesity should be treated as a disease. Many still believe it's about willpower, but it needs to be recognized as the serious medical condition it is! https://lnkd.in/gFH_ATJ2 #obesitymedicine #weightloss #wegovy #ozempic #mounjaro #glp1 #obesitymanagement

Lots of exciting news in the obesity management space. Bariatric surgeries have been around for decades, but require long recovery periods. Then came GLP-1 drugs, a much more convenient but expensive intervention. Now, a new study published on JAMA shows that ESG Stomach Tightening, the non-surgical, outpatient procedure pioneered by my cofounder Christopher C. Thompson, MD MSc FASGE FACG AGAF, is 3.8x more cost-effective than GLP-1s while achieving more weight loss. Here's why this matters: Affordable solutions are key to tackling the obesity epidemic at scale. That's why we created Bariendo to be the go-to platform for a new class of non-surgical, outpatient weight loss procedures! https://lnkd.in/gza8ftD3 #obesitymanagement #glp1s #ozempic #esgstomachtightening #bariendo
