And it might be disease progression, meaning your body would have continued to gain weight.

And the medications really help with that just as they have helped you.

They, again, they recalibrate, they lower that enough point even more.

And that is why you have more freedom from that food noise.

That's why you're not thinking about food all the time.

the question of why um why our body allows this i think that the the the desire to survive is so strong that our body our brain specifically has to make this decision it makes the decision well do i store more fat so that i don't starve so that i survive no matter what no matter what i survive i survive i survive or

Do I decrease that enough point and potentially risk not surviving?

There is an upper limit, meaning that if there wasn't, because all of us eat enough that we would actually all weigh over a thousand pounds, right?

There is an upper limit, but that upper limit, it's not clear why it's set so much higher than for other things in our body.

But it's a great question.

I'm so glad that you're persevering and I'm so glad that all these things have helped you.

You seem like you're doing great.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

But your story is, I mean, when I heard it the first time, it's heartbreaking.

And so many of our patients, so many people with obesity, that's exactly what they experience.

And it's so unfair.

It is so tragic.

Why have we blamed people for this long?

It's about biology.
