I mean, we were in a Fortune magazine article right next to Eli Lilly in a big expose about them. We've been featured in Bloomberg and Fortune magazine. I'm heading out to do a health.com piece in New York City this weekend. We've had a lot of opportunities that I just never would have imagined were going to come my way.
And I was like, we're not going to go into 2025 just awestruck with the opportunity we have. We're going to be ready to actually advocate for some things. And one of the things that I've been advocating for with the change of this administration is why are we not taking obesity as serious, every bit as serious as we took the coronavirus?

because this is an epidemic that is that has national security implications it has economic implications it has health implications it has societal implications we need to advocate for this administration and the next administration whoever it may be to take obesity serious and so that's why one of the things i've been advocating for is like this

not that Operation Warp Speed was some great template, but in the sense that it was an all of government approach to figuring out how to navigate a problem. We need an all of government approach to figuring out how we're going to eradicate the disease of obesity. And that comes from everything from figuring out how to get the cost of these medications down

figuring out how to get shots in the bodies of every single metabolically ill person who could benefit from them and really starting to correct this course. And you touched on one of the things, why isn't there some sort of subsidization of, of, uh, health and fitness programs. Why aren't we forming the SNAP system?

Why aren't we protecting compound pharmacies to do what we set out for them to do? Why aren't we implementing bulk buying programs under Medicare and Medicaid to get the cost of these down? Why aren't we just rethinking this system as a whole? And instead, like you said, we're focusing on fricking Froot Loops, like who even eats Froot Loops anymore?

Yeah, so I wrote a book, it's called Decoding GLP-1. It's a guide for friends and family of people using anti-obesity medications, specifically GLP-1. One of the big things that really became apparent right away to me once I started building community was that there were so many people on these medications that because of the stigma around obesity and the shame and the guilt and everything,

that people are led to believe about themselves, even though people with obesity, I would argue most of my community are people who have more gumption, more stick-to-itiveness, more drive, because they have to do something. We've been working against our biology, so we have to fight, and we're fighting like a losing battle all the time.
