The Cuban influencer Lisandra Silva recently took to Instagram to reveal her unsettling experience with Ozempic, a drug primarily prescribed for diabetes control but increasingly used for weight loss. Silva shared that she decided to try the medication after it was recommended by a doctor, but things did not go as planned. "I tried it just once because it was being talked about so much, and I ended up in the hospital," she admitted.
Silva detailed a severe drop in her blood sugar levels that made her feel faint, a terrifying situation, especially as she was home alone with her children. Amidst the panic, the Cuban model and entrepreneur recounted making an emergency call to her children's father. "I felt like I was going to pass out, and my kids were asleep next to me," she recalled, highlighting the distress of the moment. She eventually made it to the clinic in a wheelchair, where she received medical care.
Fortunately, there were no long-term effects from the incident, but it left Silva contemplating the risks associated with such medications. "Thank God nothing happened, but I felt like I was dying," she added, stressing how dangerous Ozempic can be when used without proper supervision and the complications it can cause for non-diabetics.
Advocating for Natural Health
Following her ordeal, Silva urged her followers to embrace a healthy lifestyle over quick and potentially hazardous fixes. “My Ozempic is: ayurvedic diet, meditation, exercise in nature,” she stated, underscoring that discipline, determination, and clear goals are essential to achieving a healthy life. Through her story, she aims to raise awareness about the importance of holistic health and the need to take care of one's body naturally.
"Please, heed my advice! There's nothing like a healthy lifestyle. DON'T EXPERIMENT!" she exclaimed, advising her followers to prioritize health over fleeting trends. Alongside her message, Lisandra Silva shared her physical transformation after a month of living healthily, and the results are evident.
Her followers reacted to her testimony with comments like: "I love it! Keep going with determination," "A lifestyle is the only sustainable thing over time, the rest is playing with health and wasting money. It has always been and will always be like this, but it's so hard for many people to understand, unfortunately...", "The best way to achieve good and lasting results is consistency and awareness in both diet and exercise!", "God..!! You didn’t need that Ozempic, you’re stunning, beautiful... I love your love for your body... I want the recipe for that green juice" or "It's great that you're sharing your experience! This Ozempic trend is terrible. It may work for some people, but at what cost? Good thing your journey was based on consistency and discipline, you show that it's possible!".
