We have over 50% of Americans, despite these drugs being out there on the market, available, prices coming down, is obesity isn't going away.

So, you know, these drugs beyond just people not being able to go to the all you can eat buffet in Caesars and sit there for four hours stacking four plates is it also is decreasing that compulsion and food noise, which to me is the torture because people that truly cannot control whether it's food, whether it's nicotine, whether it's alcohol, whether it's

You know, cocaine, methamphetamine.

It's the noise in their head and the compulsion to use.

And look, you're way more familiar with the other external factors, your lower companions, environmental, everything else that's going to trigger you to use.

But decreasing that noise in the brain is huge.

Have you seen any findings in studies or patient feedback that genuinely surprised you?

A hundred percent.

I'll give you, I'll give you a story of just one person.

Okay.

So this was a guy, a very wealthy client, uh, was, you know, in treatment, um, alcoholic, cocaine, sex addiction.

And, you know, he was overweight, had prediabetes.

I started digging down into his health history, which is what we do at Carrera.

You know, we we try to tune people up medically, diving deep into their medical history, surgical histories, looking at their habits in terms of exercise, diet, everything.

And this guy was a total wreck.

And to be able to I put him on the medication essentially because his hemoglobin A1C, which is a measure of your blood sugar control, was in diabetic range.

And I knew he wasn't going to take medications every day.

I said, I'll inject you once a week.

He was one of the first.

He was like almost patient zero at career.
