They're there to help you.

They're there to work with you, and they're going to figure it out.

They're going to say, maybe you need a lower dose for a little bit longer, and then we'll go up.

Maybe we can try this, you know, another way of eating for a little while, and that will help you.

So they're there to help you with those side effects.

And what I'll say is, you know, when I went to medical school, it was the late 1990s.

We didn't have one lecture about obesity.

These medicines didn't exist and we didn't know about the biology of obesity.

Leptin had just been discovered, the hormone that your fat makes that communicates with the brain.

So we didn't have that education.

So in a way, we're playing catch-up.

We're playing catch-up to educate ourselves to then be able to help our patients.

And again, these highly effective medications have brought this on.

Right now, we have an effective, safe way to treat obesity.

And we have to... Obesity and the 200 other... Other obesity-related diseases.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

That is an amazing and incredibly forward-thinking question.

We are not there yet.

We're not there yet.
