So a lot of it is... there's a lot of chatter, but there's a lot of studies showing that it reduces your risk of cancer. Cause you know, when you look at your risk factors for cancer, okay, the number one risk factor is smoking. If you don't smoke, the second biggest risk factor is obesity.
If we can get the weight off of these people and we can prevent metabolic disease, which leads to diabetes, which leads to cancer, which leads to Alzheimer's, which leads to all of these chronic diseases that are killing people, GLP-1s are a valuable tool in the tool belt. They're overprescribed, they're overpriced, and oftentimes they're misguided.
And I don't think clinicians are taking the time to educate the patient on the when, what, where, and how, and the pros and cons. But when utilized appropriately, it is a life-changing compound. I mean, I can't tell you how many people, like my friend's mom called me the other day and was like literally in the cusp of like tears.
saying, you have no idea, Brigham, I've struggled with weight for 20 years. To have something where I can go to these office functions and everyone's eating cake and I don't have to eat the cake or I don't have to eat the cookie or if I eat it, I just take a bite and I don't eat the whole thing. It's life-changing for me.
So many people judge and say, well, they're being lazy or they can show discipline. You have to get wins on the board when somebody is in the pit of despair and they've battled obesity their whole life to sit there and judge that person just because you have discipline or grew up in a different environment. It doesn't mean everyone has that same level of fortitude.
And in a lot of times, these people think it's hopeless. But I've seen it. If you get somebody on a micro dose of GLP and you begin to change the behavior and they get wins on the board and they start losing weight and they start fitting in that dress that they hadn't worn in 10 years, the amount of confidence and joy and life-changing momentum that can create for people, I'm a believer.
I'm an absolute believer because I've seen the magic and what it can do.
But I've also seen the devastation and what it can do when people use it inappropriately and overprescribe it and don't truly take the patient into account. Like we've got to have the conversation. We got to help people help themselves.
The main thing I learned is it's not about being perfect. It's about being better, right? Every opportunity is a choice to make a better choice. And as a momentum breeds momentum, like we were saying with the GLP-1s,
If you can help someone get wins on the board and they can make slight adjustments through diet, lifestyle, exercise, pharmaceutical intervention if needed, and they start seeing results, you're so much more likely to commit. And so for me, it candidly started small. It's the same counsel we would give any patient. So let's go back to like if we were to do a DEXA.
At the time, I did a DEXA on myself. So I knew I weighed, you know, at the time, I think 198 pounds. And I knew how much of my body was muscle. If I know how much of my body's muscle, which is a very simple DEXA scan, I now know exactly how many grams of protein I need to maintain lean muscle. And so as wild as it sounds is you can prioritize your diet to feed the muscle and starve the fat.
If the more protein you eat, one gram of protein per pound of lean muscle mass to maintain lean muscle. So if I'm 150 pounds of lean muscle, not to get too technical, I need 150 grams of protein just to maintain muscle. So if you eat enough protein and but are at a caloric deficit, in theory, you will minimize your loss of muscle and maximize your loss of fat.
And so we took a very methodical approach, but it doesn't have to be that discipline. I started out like, I'm gonna try and eat more protein and I'm gonna try not to eat junk food and I'm gonna cut out soft drinks and I'm gonna cut out alcohol. And just doing those things and dialing in my hormones changed my life. Then as I started getting to like 10% body fat, I'm like, oh man,
Can I get down to like, can I get shredded? I'm going to like get really strict. And so then I got really strict at the time and began to really prioritize protein and get really methodical. But, you know, to me, I tell people just make better choices. Like there's always an opportunity for a better choice. And just because you make a mistake,
you know, when you eat that burger for lunch or whatever, have a milkshake, it doesn't mean you have to throw out the whole week as the other mistake people make. Once they've made a mistake, they go, well, already messed up. I'll just eat. I'll eat fajitas and a margarita tonight. You know, like just choose your battles and when and where, but just those small tweaks and dialing in your hormones.
So many people do not understand, like you can be eating perfect. And if your hormones are totally out of whack, you're literally hiking up a mountain carrying a backpack full of bricks.
Almost every single person that we do blood work on is deficient on vitamin D. I knew you were going to say that. Yeah. Almost everyone. Almost everybody is deficient on magnesium. Almost everybody's deficient on zinc. And then creatine is phenomenal for brain health, for lean muscle mass, for longevity.
Yeah, you want to just find a solid source that's independently third-party lab verified because the supplements, Momentum is who I use, and I don't have any relationship with them other than I know they third-party verify their stuff. I know it's what they say it is. The supplement world's a racket.
So even earlier when you were asking me about peptides, as an owner of a compounding pharmacy, every single treatment modality or medication we compound, all the ingredients are FDA approved. Yeah. from FDA sourced suppliers. Every batch is independently third-party verified to be what we say it is by a lab unaffiliated with us that we then turn into the FDA.
So we know if we tell you you're getting BPC-157 peptide, that you're getting the dosage, the efficacy, the quality and no contaminants because we are required by law to verify all of that.
