And I can tell you, if you take a baby dose and it suppresses hunger mechanisms and then you stop using it, it really is like training rules.
You're like, oh, even though I'm not on this anymore, I've taught myself that I wasn't eating that cheesecake because I was hungry.
I was eating it just because I had poor satiety mechanisms and I don't actually need to eat that.
Yeah.
I don't know.
But think about it like electrical muscle stimulation.
It's like if I use an EMS suit to cheat my brain into firing, let's say, a muscle that a lot of people forget how to use, like the glute medius.
And then I quit using electrical muscle stimulation.
My body now remembers that that muscle is turned back on and I can start using it more when I'm doing squats and lunges and band walks or whatever in the gym.
So I think that in many cases, in like exercise and fitness and nutrition, you can use a little bit of better living through science for training wheels.
And people even do this with sex, right?
they'll use viagra to induce an erection in a man who doesn't have true erectile dysfunction but who just has like this mental block to getting an erection and then once a guy realizes that oh i can actually get it up i'm not broken you can actually taper off the viagra and they don't have the erectile issues anymore
Do I personally have food noise?
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
And you know what?
I don't anymore.
You don't?
I don't anymore.
And I think it's because of GLPs.
