Drop pounds like Ozempic

Is it even possible to slim down without the expense and risk of trendy weight-loss injectable meds? Yes, it is! "Simple changes in your diet can deliver the appetite suppression of Ozempic―with no prescription, no injections and no side effects," insists Florida nutrition expert Annette Bosworth, M.D., or Dr. Boz, who has helped thousands shrink their waist and transform their health. Here, Dr. Boz gives us the skinny on all-natural hacks helping women like Indiana grandmother Celest Wehmeier profoundly lower appetite and drop pounds with ease. Keep reading to get inspired by 74-pounds-lighter Celest's story-and to learn how a few no-needle Ozempic dupes stand to benefit your body.

Dr. Boz explains that Ozempic and drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound work by increasing GLP-1, a hormone produced in our GI tract to help control blood sugar. “GLP-1 dramatically slows food moving through your gut, keeping you physically full,” the doc notes. “It also signals your brain that you’re not hungry and food isn’t as interesting.”

Ozempic causes a sharp rise in GLP-1 that kills hunger and quiets ‘food noise’—a term for those endless thoughts we have about eating even when we’re not hungry. But spiking GLP-1 production can be tough on our gut, leading to nausea, constipation, even intestinal blockages. “And it costs about $1,000 a month,” adds Dr. Boz. “So let’s suppress your appetite while saving your money and sparing you the downsides.”

No-Rx ways to destroy hunger

Dr. Boz, a keto diet fan, knows many of us don’t want to slash carbs at this cozy time of year. So she’s sharing hacks that mimic Ozempic benefits on any diet—or even no diet at all.

The Mary Tyler Moore SHOW

From That Girl in the 1960s to Ally McBeal in the 1990s to Sex and the City in the 2000s, television has long reflected the shifting image of independent women. Yet the true game-changer came in 1970, when The Mary Tyler Moore Show introduced Mary Richards—30, single, stylish and making her way in a newsroom full of men. Rather than being someone’s wife or daughter, she was the star, and she changed television forever. Join us for a look back at rare behind-the-scenes photos of the groundbreaking show as we celebrate its 55th anniversary.

Happy money, happy holidays

The holidays are here (yay!), and with them comes both joy and, let's be honest, stress. For many of us, the shopping lists, entertaining costs or the ache of an empty chair at the table can dim the sparkle of the season. If that's you, please accept my wishes that the days land lightly.
