Thank you, Stan. This is one of those times where I'm really excited about Health Chatter and the podcast that we're doing because of the way in which we seek out treasures in our community who are people that are doing things that are noteworthy and that we should be sharing information with. And today we have a wonderful guest, Vissera Malaski, who is a pharmacist.

And today we have a wonderful guest, Vissera Malaski, who is a pharmacist.

She has served patients in North Minneapolis for eight years. first as an intern, and then later as a pharmacist. And she is passionate about culturally competent care, addressing healthcare disparities, and focusing on evidence-based therapies.

And I think that you're going to find out as we start talking with her, because as you just said, Sam, we are talking about this research for weight loss drugs. And it's really been a big issue. We were working with MDH, and they were talking about childhood obesity. And we know that this thing is just blowing up.

And so we're excited that we have the opportunity on Health Chatter to be able to enter into this conversation. So welcome, Ms. Sarah. And why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself so our listeners can get to know you.

You know, interesting enough, though, Sarah, when we started talking about this whole issue around weight loss drugs, your name came up. And, you know, whenever I mention your name, people are like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we need to talk to Sarah. So we're excited to have you. And so with that, I am going to let our prober, Mr. Stan, start with the first question for you.

I want to know from Sarah, I love this conversation, but I want to know from you, what is your community conversation with people who come to you around weight loss drugs? What do you say to the community?

Yeah, that makes sense. Clarence. So Sarah, for this portion, I'd just like for you to talk about the side effects. I think we need to have a section. I mean, because usually when people talk about some of these drugs, they always talk about the good things. What are the side effects that happen as a result of using these drugs?

Let me unmute here. When your patients come in, and I kind of sort of asked this question before, but when your patient comes in and they really want to do this, what are you saying to them?

Clarence, Let me just say this. I know that we got me to the end of our show. Sarah, I am really, really pleased with the information that you provided today. I definitely look forward to the opportunity to work with you some more and to actually have you come back on the show and to share more information with us. I think you've been an exciting guest.
