Dr. Barry Baines

So I was just wondering if you could just briefly talk about some of the dreams or goals for that aspect, because I could say for Charlie, for children, this is another piece that could really benefit kids.

And unlike the AEDs, which is

avoiding a catastrophic situation, which captures attention a lot easily than, you know, exercising every day to keep your weight under control, you know, as an example.

So I just wonder if you can comment on that, because that kind of perked my interest, reading that as well.

Very.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that my CPR certification has expired.

And as a result, as a result of today, I'm going to get my recertification as soon as I can.

And thank you for your interface.

It was really, it was really very educational for me and I appreciate the conversation.

I'm getting a lot of tears here.

I better say something.

But I mean, I think everything here that we're saying is true.

And one of the overlaying issues, from my perspective, is because obesity is so epidemic in our society, and it's multifactorial, as we've covered

on shows in particular for some of our people of color populations that live in areas where there's no nutritious food available, the food deserts, we kind of talked about that.

So then you wind up getting more empty calories, not the protein, not the fiber, not all those good things.

But I think you can't get away from this issue that you have an epidemic of obesity

And it's even worse with younger people today and some of the older populations.

I think there's been a very slight decrease over the past few years in obesity rates.

And then you have a disease that's also very prevalent in terms of type 2 diabetes.

And then as Dr. Chaklis Hassan has talked about, the indications for use of GLP-1s has been expanding.
