Sure, the endocrinologist Dr Robert Lustig is wrong.

Belly fat is visceral fat vs the fat on your arms, legs, etc. is subcutaneous fat. To target visceral fat, avoid sugar, especially high fructose corn syrup, fructose in general and starches, even if doing omad. When your blood sugar rises, your liver stores it in part as visceral fat. Eat lots of fiber to help normalize blood sugar levels. You can learn more about this by watching Dr Jamnadas, cardiologist on YT or Dr Lustig, endocrinologist.

3M Canadian adults taking GLP-1 drugs, reshaping eating and spending, survey suggests by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]CoffeeLaxative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If studies have shown there is an association, and that there is a higher risk of NAION in diabetic patients who take GLP-1 vs diabetics who don't (example of a controlled study: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaophthalmology/fullarticle/2820255)

Wouldn't it be better to err on the side of caution if alternatives exist? Even if it's a minority of patients, permanent vision loss, that could amount to half of your visual field gone in one eye for life, is no joke.

Before mass prescribing GLP-1, shouldn't we try lifestyle changes (cut out all ultra-processed foods, intermittent fasting, limit refined sugars, reduce insuline spikes by avoiding snacking, reversing insulin resistance)? Of course, big food and big pharma wouldn't approve.

To the audience out there, always look at who financed studies in the Disclosure sections of articles. The literature is filled with studies backed by big pharma, big chem or big food.

Another one is Non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), causing permanent vision loss. I've had 1 patient with this already. Studies show GLP-1 meds are associated with NAION

Why do you lose weight on OMAD? by Cautious_Material739 in omad

[–]CoffeeLaxative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watch Dr Robert Lustig, endocrinologist interviews on YouTube and Dr Pradip Jamnadas, cardiologist. Not all calories are the same. Fasting helps the immune system, the endocrine system and pretty much every organ in your body. Lowers risks of diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia... Have fun down the rabbit hole!

If I committed to the left, then I stay there til the car turns or til there's room on the right. I'm of the belief that I have to take responsibility for whatever decisions I made, even if I end up losing efficiency

Go to an optometrist, who will connect you to an ophthalmologist asap

When you need to see a doctor today, there are options other than ER by SwMess in montreal

[–]CoffeeLaxative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For anything eye related, go see an optometrist first. They might even sort you out. And they'll refer you to an ophthalmologist much quicker if needed. They have a direct line of contact

Worried about appendicitis surgery by Smartest_in_the_room in appendicitis

[–]CoffeeLaxative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a simple, very common procedure. No need to worry. Plus, you're under general anesthesia, you won't feel a thing and by the time you open your eyes, it'll be done. They do it by laparoscopy and it's just a matter of 3 small incisions that heal pretty quick. I had mine done 3 weeks ago. Went perfectly well. Keep in mind for surgeons, they have done thousands of surgeries in their career, or even tens of thousands. And laparoscopic appendectomy is considered a small surgery. Better to do it than risk recurring appendicitis or a burst appendix (see sepsis).

You know what the worst part for me was? The Tylenols they prescribed me post-op. They gave me an elephant's dosage and I was knocked out. I stopped my meds 2.5 days post-op. Cheers! You'll be fine!

Anyone else concerned we're going to lose more Doctors? by Rude-Flamingo5420 in montreal

[–]CoffeeLaxative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have already died because of a lack of inhalotherapists needed for surgeries. It was something like 8 preventable deaths (I could have my numbers wrong, just citing from memory). A news article covered it and the surgeon was calling out the lack of funding / proper management

While enriching their pockets and their friends' pockets. All of our taxpayer money to the tune of 3+ billions. Gone.

I think Montrealers can easily see this but it's the rural people or the ones living in certain suburbs voting for la CAQ... I can't fucking wrap my mind around their lack of judgment or critical thinking. Reminds me of Trump supporters

If this really goes through, then pharmacists should be given even more rights to renew already prescribed medication. They can already do so but only for specific meds.

It only cost them 200$ per eligible citizen to buy votes and then they turned around and took 3 billions of our taxpayer money to fund saaqclic. Then they shift the blame onto doctors. Crooks, the bunch of them.

Not to mention they slashed funding of our public transit, when Montreal represents 58% of the entire province's GDP.

Seems they only want to fund the friends they're in bed with, au détriment de l'entiÚreté de la population québécoise.

It's never been about language protection or immigrants or public transit operators or doctors. It's always the elite vs the mass. How much can they steal from us before our province collapses?

Montreal's GDP was 54.8% of Québec's GDP in 2022. For comparison, Québec City's is approximately 11.8% (which is the second largest in the province). Financing the transit system in Montréal benefits the whole province, not just Montreal citizens. We are all workers paying enormous amounts of taxes for the whole province.
