Weight loss injection for entrepreneurs: opportunity or health risk?

Taufkirchen – The weight loss injection is on everyone’s lips. This method of losing weight is attracting increasing attention, especially in celebrity circles. But it's not just stars who are interested in this, entrepreneurs are also hoping it will provide a simple solution to their weight problems. Lea Feder, Managing Director of JETZT Performance, examines in her analysis whether the weight loss injection is really the miracle cure that many believe it to be and what alternatives exist.

The hectic everyday life of entrepreneurs often means that their own well-being is put aside. Stress, lack of time and unhealthy eating habits increase the risk of being overweight. In particular, the weight loss injection that contains semaglutide - originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes - promises quick results by creating a prolonged feeling of satiety. But is this method actually suitable for losing weight in the long term? “The weight loss injection can treat parts of the weight gain, but the underlying lifestyle factors usually remain unnoticed,” explains Lea Feder. “Entrepreneurs looking for quick solutions need to be aware of the significant side effects.”

The problem of weight loss injections

The weight loss injection may seem simple, but the challenges are many. Lea Feder emphasizes that the causes of obesity often lie in an imbalance between exercise, stress management and nutrition. These aspects must be addressed specifically. "The injection does not address the underlying problem. It can lead to a drop in basal metabolic rate, promoting a vicious cycle of dieting and weight gain," she warns. The undesirable side effects, such as nausea and loss of appetite, also severely limit the quality of life of the user.

Entrepreneurs in particular who rely on continuous performance cannot afford to be regularly affected by these side effects. "The body reacts in a similar way to a crash diet and switches to starvation mode. After the therapy ends, many users quickly gain weight again," explains Feder.

The expert’s recommendation

At the same time, Feder emphasizes that the weight loss injection can also offer advantages in certain cases, such as those who are extremely overweight. It could help people move more and thus create the basis for sustainable lifestyle changes. “But it is important that patients work on their eating habits and physical activity in parallel,” she adds.

At JETZT Performance, clients are offered an individual approach. A harmonious balance is sought through the strategic integration of healthier eating habits, exercise routines and stress management. Clients often report increased productivity and better team dynamics when they prioritize their health. “We help our clients maintain control over their diet and exercise during difficult times such as illness or injury,” says Feder.

In summary, it can be said that the weight loss injection may not be a practical solution for many. “Without long-term changes, the successes will not last,” concludes Lea Feder. If you want to seriously work on your weight, you should get good advice and make an informed decision. The use of the weight loss injection should always be combined with a comprehensive lifestyle adjustment in order to actually achieve success.
