So you get constipation and gastric upset and you lose muscle.

because even though you hear you're supposed to go to the gym and lift weights and eat enough protein, if your favorite protein smoothie or steak makes you just super nauseous and you wanna throw up, you're not getting enough protein, then you go to the gym and you feel flat because you're not eating enough calories, then you don't wanna lift weights.

but smaller dosages, we're talking like, for example, like one-tenth of the dose of something like redditrutide, it's like just enough of a stimulus to where somebody who has difficulty controlling calories can resist food much better than they would be able to do in the absence of that and not have a ton of the other side effects.

And because there's a lot of other,

an emerging body of research-proven system-wide effects of some of these agonists, I think that they're actually like a pretty cool and useful new thing for a lot of people.

Yeah, it works on GLP, a few different hormone or appetite and satiate.

Do they compound?

Satiety regulating mechanisms, GLP, ghrelin, and one called GIP.

I think trizepatide is a dual agonist.

So it's two.

It's two.

Yeah.

I think it's one.

Ozempic is one.

And there's a new one that's coming out that's like five.

Five?

Yeah.

I don't even remember.

I can tell you it's probably hard to pronounce.

I can definitely say that.
