Yesterday I introduced a theme that compared food choices that mimics the same effects of Ozempic. Ozempic is a current trend for weight loss. It has some sister pharmaceuticals that mimic the results. It is an expensive pharmaceutical that eliminates the person’s appetite. Someone injects themselves in the tummy about once a month and afterward experiences a complete loss of appetite and I am told this includes interest in food.

As an empathic practitioner focusing on behaviour, I notice that people absorb Ozempic-type products as a strategy, and that it is not only their appetite that is altered. There are observable appearances in one’s physical expressions and emotional behaviours. The physical expression and the emotional behaviours filter one’s thoughts. Thinking shifts under any influence. Influences are environmental stimuli. This includes healthy foods. These are an environmental influence on physical, mental and emotional function. Someone taking Ozempic-type products is someone wanting ‘rewards without effort,’ and they are unaware of the full range of influences altering their experiences.

In this post, the phrase ‘rewards without efforts,’ means one is turning a faucet off, rather than retraining their brain function and physical, mental and emotional behaviours. It just shuts down eating. This means it is also shutting a function down. It just happens to be a function that feeds all functions needed to experience the ultimate potential for optimum function. From my perspective only, it is reducing mental health and wellbeing and will have long-term effects. One that is immediate as their is no nutritional values to function. The second is that it will have the same physiological type behaviours that long-term addictions have. It will be another addiction to detox from. Only one will be rapidly gaining the weight back as there have been no conscious, unconscious and subconscious shifts in behaviours. The only change has been a strategy injected into the body to turn a switch off.

Since writing this I did meet s student who is using Ozempic responsibility.

During Functional Integrations with students, (Awareness through Movement one-on-one) I would become aware of their nutritional lacks. It was evident in their physical, mental and emotional behaviours. This is where the phrase, ‘the brain is lazy,’ made a big impact. Students would disclose having many supplements and capsules of the nutrition they needed, yet didn’t have the focus to make the effort to take the lids off and take them each day. They may for 2 or 3 days then forget them and before you know it their cupboard is packed with full bottles. The conversation would become a stalemate as I discovered a nutrient they needed from their story would become a statement like “oh yeah, I have that already”, when I made any suggestions. They had become hoarders of the trend in the moment and yet that trend was sitting in a bottle in the cupboard. It had no functional health benefits. It had become and mental and emotional nightmare though.

I came up with a strategy that changed my life. It was for my student’s benefit, yet it became mine personally. I decided to create a garden of edibles, cultured and wild, leading up to my door they entered. They would walk through a pathway. I hoped the influence would stimulate them through environmental influence. It shifted mine! Some pictures below of the environmental influence along the pathway to the doorway.

As an empathic experience, the biggest disconnect in life has been in those who speak with authority yet have none through experience. It’s all in thought only. As an empath, this is experienced as someone speaking who is disconnected. It is an actual experience. Especially when someone reads a book or watches a program and then is the authority. It is a huge ball of confusion an empath must untangle until they understand it. For this reason, I have chosen not to give advice unless I have done it myself. This meant researching nutrition through natural sources myself first with the garden mentioned previously and with cultures and ferments like kefir, sauerkraut, yogurt, pickling, kombucha and apple cider vinegar, etc. Once again the mind is lazy. It doesn’t want to change. It actually resists it. It will spend time, effort and money on a strategy however not put in the effort to transform the behaviours. I put a lot of effort into supporting these students to try and create a spark from creating samples to try, offering to provide the resources to sharing the benefits I was experiencing. It was a big output of energy however without success. The potential was there yet I discovered the majority of people want to complain about things, yet not do anything to change it. (Consider this on a bigger stage of the global conditioning)

This experiment had an amazing result. Transforming the eating plan by introducing a few foods ignited inspiration and motivation. The only way I can describe it is that some nutrition I was lacking through the new food item transformed my mental, emotional and physical states. This was the connection to the shift in inner self-direction. In the connecting to inner self-direction deepening the motivation to increase and add healthier foods and habits came naturally. It wasn’t a strategy based on authority. It was a natural spontaneous development and action. In other words, it wasn’t a thought or through being told to change. I can only describe it as a growing experience of spontaneous change.

Pictured above are three things I eat daily. Small amounts, yet packed with nutrition. As an empath I do not have an encyclopedia-type mind, therefore I can tell you what organ function I am feeding when eating these foods versus giving you a list of their nutrients that have been memorized. For example, the Brazil Nuts pictured above are for my thyroid. It’s a good source of selenium and I used it as a replacement for the bamboo leaves I was growing. The cranberries are for my urinary tract, kidney and bladder and sesame seeds for my bones. I specify this as when I eat them I want to have the thoughts that focus on what part of the body I am feeding. Why? This is the message I want to brain to receive. This is the message I want my brain to send to those body parts. Many shift their focus to the outside and separate from a deeper connection and receptiveness available in the human function. Science took the focus outside to solutions that mimic the body’s potential abilities. Some empaths do not function in the world’s mainstream this way. I happen to be one of them. I never unlearned to separate from the initial learning pattern of absorbing information. However, you can read here that my mind is very scientific through exploration and receptivity. I have seen advantages of both, exploration and solutions, however, the difference for me is presenting learning patterns for an individual to have free will versus locking in on it as the authority.

Here are Google Coles Notes on these three nutritional foods. I get these in bulk through Amazon. They have been the freshest at reasonable prices and in resealable bags. All food is touched by many sources however when I was in the organic wholesale food business the dried goods would arrive in bulk and be handled only by the packager. I trust that is what is happening with Yupik. The differences with a markets bulk section is that their products are touched by many hands on the way to my table.
