You've told me lots of different ways that I can lose my body fat in 2026. Couldn't I just jab myself with this?
00:00:07
>> So, that works until it doesn't. GLP-1 is primarily a satiety hormone. It'll
00:00:13
tell the brain that we're done eating and it will slow down the intestines significantly. If you and I were to go
00:00:20
eat lunch, our food would be in our stomach for four to six hours, maybe. If we injected ourselves with a GLP-1 drug,
00:00:27
which puts an artificial amount of GLP-1 in our body, it slows down people's
00:00:32
intestines so much that they'll have food sitting in there for 24 hours. So,
00:00:36
one of the things people talk about is what's called ompic burps where they just have this kind of belching,
00:00:41
bubbling gas because the food is sitting in the stomach for way longer than it's
00:00:46
supposed to. So, no surprise that people are less interested in food. The main thing it helps people do
00:00:54
is eat less carbohydrates. It controls cravings. >> Who would you recommend definitely uses
00:00:59
it and for how long? >> My recommendation of the drug is currently it's being used for weight
00:01:05
loss where people just say here, jab yourself with this and you're going to lose weight. Um, and it works. They will
00:01:11
absolutely lose weight. But again, the concern being that you're going to uh
00:01:15
lose a lot of lean mass at the same time. This is a drug that's going to help you learn to control carbohydrates
00:01:21
because that's the one macronutrient that people are addicted to. So my view
00:01:24
is use these drugs to help people cure their cravings for carbohydrates. >> But then when I stop taking it, isn't it
00:01:30
going to come back? >> Well, so that's it then. So then you use it in two different ways. One, you use a
00:01:34
much lower dose than is currently used. What we could call a micro dose, if you will. So use a lower dose and you cycle
00:01:39
it on and off. go 90 days on the drug at a low dose while receiving coaching or counseling on how to use a low carb diet
00:01:48
because they will find it easier than ever to control their carb consumption. Then at the end of 90 days, wean them
00:01:55
off the drug and say, "Let's see if these habits have stuck." Very often
00:01:59
they have. Some people will find that it lasts for a while and the cravings start
00:02:03
to come back. All right. Well, let's cycle you back on and try again.
