The pharmaceutical industry loves Ozempic. Is there a big benefit to it? Absolutely. It can help reduce the risk of chronic disease because the number one risk for almost all of these chronic diseases is metabolic disease and obesity.

And we are chronically ill and obese as a society. And so if we can get that weight off, great. But if we don't talk about diet, lifestyle, and nutrition... We're just putting a bandaid on it. We got to get to the root cause. And then if we're not going to address the food issue and we're not going to fix our food issue, you know, it isn't a matter of people eating bad or good.

Like it clearly is like diet is very, very important. It's the most important thing. But I want to be clear. Even if you try to eat healthy in America, it's hard. It's, I mean, we have over, so, and I think it was the 80s, we had 700 FDA-approved ingredients in our food. Now there's thousands, I think it's over 10,000 ingredients. In Europe, it's 700.

There's over 10, petrochemicals, everything in our food sources, preservatives, food dyes, all of it. And they're all causing an increase in metabolic disease and these problems. They're making our food more processed, more addictive, more abusive. Yeah. And then we're getting chronically ill and chronically obese. And then that leads to being chronically on medications.

And then that leads to trillions of dollars. Like when we talk about big pharma, the insurance companies made $1.5 trillion last year, trillion. Pharma is still in the billions. I think it was six or 700 billion, just still an insane amount of money in revenue. But the insurance companies are two and a half size, the size of Big Pharma. And at least the pharma companies make something.

I think every drug on the market is probably overprescribed. I mean, why are we prescribing antidepressants? They barely, there is a place for every compound. I don't want to paint something that's all bad. But should the amount of people be on antidepressants?

And there are alternatives to that. Again, at our practice, we have a product called Wave Neuroscience. We scan your brain. We assess where neurons are misfiring. This is all stuff that's not covered by insurance, but it has an astronomically higher success rate and over 80% at helping depression, anxiety, and insomnia.
