Okay, so a little bit about, we talked a little bit about the muscle mass.

And I think just the one thing that was kind of on my mind was that sort of anabolic paradox of insulin.

Yeah.

And kind of what your thoughts are with respect to like, you know, some bodybuilders are injecting insulin, right?

I know, yeah.

So how...

Yeah, like, let's talk about a little bit, like, reconciling insulin's role as being this, you know, anabolic versus, you know, storing fat and being metabolically problematic.

No, I think I think that was a that's a really good.

Those are great points that you made for sure.

For sure.

I think we covered a lot of the muscle effects on insulin and how exercise is so important, growing muscle tissue and exercise is important for allowing the muscle to be that site of glucose disposal.

But let's kind of then shift gears and talk about this weight loss and exercise.

Obviously, I think right now there's a big trend in rapid weight loss and weight loss that's made very easy by taking GLP-1 agonist drugs, things like Ozembic and WeGoV.

And I'd love to know what your thoughts are on that.

Maybe first you can explain just generally how these GLP-1 agonists work and why they're causing weight loss and how they affect metabolic health, but also whether they're addressing the underlying root cause of obesity and obesity.

or if there's sort of shortcutting around that.

What is the dose range that you were referring to, talking about?

And two and a half milligrams being the low dose.

And, and,

The underlying, the dressing, obviously, these were used for, like you mentioned, this was a, you know, diabetes drug, right?
