IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Lizzo admits she tried Ozempic
The Good as Hell singer, who has been documenting her weight-loss journey on social media since 2023, revealed she had briefly dabbled with the GLP-1 agonist medication before deciding it was not for her. 'I tried everything," Lizzo, 37, told influencer Trisha Paytas on her Just Trish podcast. 'Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing."

Man's horror ‘locked in' syndrome after error
A young man is now locked in a nightmare after his livelihood was stolen by negligent doctors. Jonathan Buckelew, 34, has been awarded a staggering $75 million (AU $116 million) in damages after multiple physicians failed to diagnose his life-threatening stroke, leaving him paralysed from head to toe for the rest of his life. Jonathan was rushed to North Fulton Hospital on October 26, 2015, after falling unconscious during a chiropractic neck adjustment, New York Post reported. Despite the emergency response, almost every physician who came into contact failed to clock Jonathan's stroke. Their lackadaisical care led the patient in his mid-20s to develop horrific locked-in syndrome, leaving him unable to move or talk despite having full consciousness. 'This case is heartbreaking because Jonathan's paralysis and brain damage were completely avoidable,' said Jonathan's lawyer, Lloyd Bell, in a statement made following the Georgia Court of Appeals' decision to uphold a verdict in their favour last March. 'If the slew of healthcare providers involved in Jonathan's care would have acted according to the standard of care, caught and treated his stroke earlier, and communicated more effectively, Jonathan's life would look entirely different.' The Buckelews sued the chiropractor, the hospital, Dr. Matthew Womack, radiologist James Waldschmidt and neurologist Christopher Nickum for their failure to catch Jonathan's stroke — the rapid treatment of which could have prevented his tragic outcome. A Fulton County state court found Womack and Waldschmidt guilty of malpractice, ordering the former to hand over $40 million. Jonathan was ultimately awarded $29 million in past and future medical expenses and $46 million for pain and suffering, per court documents. Jonathan is now restricted to communication through eye movements and a keypad that he manages to use with his nose. His parents, Jack and Janice, have turned their home into a 24-hour care centre for their debilitated son. 'I really feel like there's no real justice for somebody who lost every aspect of his life,' Jack, told CBS affiliate Atlanta News First. 'He wants to do things, he wants to go places — it just breaks our heart to see him like he is,' the desperate father continued. 'There are some days where he's like 'pull the plug,' so those are the tough days.' Jonathan's counsel has blamed the hospital staff for not following standard procedure. 'The ER doctor saw this patient was having all these signs and symptoms of stroke and never called a stroke alert, and they had policies in place that they were supposed to follow certain protocols to reach the correct diagnosis, and they didn't follow their policies and procedures,' Bell said.

Mum, 62, reveals how she lost incredible 30kg after her weight hit 119kgs
Welcome to You Got This, weekly fitness series featuring stories and ideas from real women who've experienced it all. A woman has revealed how she lost more than 30kg after years of being in physical and mental pain. Robyn Stronach weight had increase to 119kg and her body was struggling. She was regularly experiencing shortness of breath and her mental health was detoriating. She was also battling with metabolic syndrome, failed gastric sleeve surgery and a strong family history of heart disease. Mrs Stronach, from Queensland, was a borderline diabetic heading towards an early death as her cholesterol rose. 'I would stress eat anything and everything — and not three meals a day,' she told 'It was all day. As sad as it sounds, I was a bottomless pit. I thought I was feeling happy when I ate. Little did I realise it was making me miserable.' At the age of 59, she decided she desperately needed to lower her weight and improve her fitness. She'd always been someone who didn't like mixed gender gyms and felt embarrassed to go. Her daughter insisted she come along to F45 Ormeau with her and her niece, something she said was 'so hard' at her age. 'There were two trainers I will always hold close to my heart. They encouraged me to the point that I tell everyone they saved my life,' she said. 'They always encouraged and supported me, in general they were just my super heroes.' After countless hours in the gym, Ms Stronach lost 31kg and improved her physical and mental health. She did this while working full time in a hospital, being her mum's carer, looking after her husband who has cancer and being a mum and grandmother to nine children. 'My daughter and I get up most mornings at 3.50am to be at the 4.30am class,' she said. 'If I can't make that class due to work or other obligations, I then go later in the day. I try really hard to complete five days a week minimum.' She says her journey is still ongoing and praised her trainers for her results so far. 'I realised through F45 that age is not a limitation,' she said. 'There are some things I just can't do — like box jumps due to a degenerate lower back but I don't let this stop me. I modify my exercises to suit my old injuries and new. I forget my age and go too far,' she said. Mrs Stronach also said she does her best to encourage new members, paying forward the encouragement given to her. 'My goal next year is to do a Hyrox challenge. That is where my son comes in with his energy and encouragement. I have just started running. I want to be a good role model for my grandchildren who can see their grandmother fit and healthy.'
