whatever's going on in the news that might be pertinent to somebody whose life is being transformed by what I always call leveling the metabolic playing field. That's really, in essence, what these medications are doing for people who are taking them for type 2 diabetes or obesity, is they're actually just giving people a fighting chance for their biology to come into alignment with

Yeah, yeah. I mean, and sure, that's the other thing that... that we've learned in the Knapp household is the insurance companies will fight you tooth and nail to not cover anything that is expensive. They're essentially practicing medicine, right? At the bureaucratic level of the insurance companies, they're just saying, yeah, there's something better here.

And so ultimately, yeah, it's very difficult to stay on the medication as well as getting treatment for obesity. Once you're below a certain BMI, unless your doctor is coding everything just so, It's very hard to stay on it because now you're not obese anymore, but you need the medication for maintenance.

Many people who are on these medications for obesity will need some level of treatment because like any chronic disease, typically when you need treatment to get it in remission, you need treatment to keep it there. And that sort of bears out in the clinical trials for these as well.

That's not to say it's going to be everybody's story, but you're leveling the metabolic playing field with a peptide that is supplanting something that's deficient or deficient in your body. And so once you remove that, you're sort of fighting an uphill battle again. So the issue of accessibility has been this evergreen topic.
