They're affecting, you know, a huge piece of,

why you want to live sort of thing, right?

You want to live because you want to enjoy yourself, but you've taken this, you sort of leave this big hole, you know, even from enjoying things with your family, right?

Can you enjoy dinner when you're nauseated?

Can you enjoy somebody's birthday when all you can think about is, oh, I need to like, you know, throw up, right?

It's difficult.

So I think that it can be effective.

I think what we really need to do is sort of maybe use it as a teaching tool.

Like you can use it sometimes.

It's an aid.

Maybe then learn about the types of hunger, how to deal with the hunger, what the best eating rules are.

Get yourself the right mindset, set yourself the right habits, get the right guardrails.

And then as you pull off, you have something to sort of

guide you along your weight loss journey, as opposed to this sort of, oh, just eat whatever you want, but fewer calories, right?

And I think that's the real opportunity, right?

Maybe we can do some good with this.

If people do well with it, then sure, just stay on it, right?

I'm not against it.

Like, I'm a doctor.

I prescribe a lot of this drug, right?
