GLP-1 Jabs, Weight Loss and Your Body — A Chinese Medicine Perspective

GLP-1 jabs like Ozempic and Wegovy are everywhere right now, but what are they actually doing to your body? In Traditional Chinese medicine, weight gain is often a sign that the Spleen and Stomach are not functioning as they should. These medications suppress those organs further rather than restoring them, which is why so many people regain weight when they stop. This post explores the TCM perspective on GLP-1 medications — including their effects on digestion, Blood, bone density and Kidney Jing — and how acupuncture can help rebuild the body from the root, whether you are currently on these jabs or coming off them.
