It's not just about weight loss or helping diabetes.
It's about inflammation.
They are potent blockers of brain inflammation, testing now in Alzheimer's, in big trials, and also body-wide inflammation, which is critical in cancer and in heart disease.
So we're going to be using these drugs in the future in pill form.
To block inflammation.
And if those trials are coming out in early next year for Alzheimer's work, for these, you know, ozempic-like drugs, that's going to be one of the biggest changes in the history of medicine.
We've not had a really potent and safe anti-inflammatory drug, especially that gets its effects through the brain.
You know, I speculated that in super ages because that's where it looks like we're headed.
And remember, we're still in the early days.
We have these two hormone, gut hormone memetics, basically, that look like the hormones that we have naturally in our body.
There's another 15 more that have been discovered.
that are gonna be made into pills like these are, and all kinds of combinations.
And what we've learned is that the gut speaks to the brain and the immune system through these hormones.
So, you know, it used to be thought that a way to a man's heart was through his gut.
Well, now it's the way to a human's health, immune health, is through their gut hormones.
So we're going to see an explosion of this whole.
It's not just the ones we have today.
There's just so many combinations.
They're so potent.
Some of them get in the brain so much better than ones we have right now.
