Yeah. Well, you know, there's been a lot of studies looking at GLP-1s and fatty liver disease. And if you just go and visit clinicaltrials.gov and you put in semaglutide or liraglutide, and fatty liver disease, you will see that there are so many trials underway right now.

So we're going to see new data coming out and obviously data coming out about mental health, alcoholism, addiction, all of these things with GLP-1s that we are discovering. Yes, semaglutide has been used for decades with diabetics and it seems to be relatively safe. And the studies do tend to also show the safetiness in fatty liver disease patients as well.

I think they are potential game changers for sure. And I've seen it in my patients. Where the challenge lies is what is the off ramp? What is the exit strategy? And so very few people think about the exit strategy when they are going into it. And so that is really the key.

When you get on these drugs, let's say you were a type two diabetic, you had fatty liver disease, you had all these risk factors. And you went on Ozempic. All of your numbers improved. Your weight is improved. Your inflammation levels are down. Amazing. Just absolutely amazing. But are you now on it for life? That's what we're still trying to figure out.

Or do you have the capacity to wean off, get off of it, and not have your numbers be impacted? So we had a huge study, I believe it was out of JAMA, about two or three years ago, once the popularity started increasing, looking at the fact that about a third of these patients do put back on a significant amount of weight, and more concerning, when the weight comes on, the numbers go up.

So all of these things that improved come back. So it's not to say that the drugs aren't effective. They are very effective. But the question is, are you on them for life? And what are the long-term consequences? And we just don't know the answer to that. So that's kind of number one. And the second thing is, if you're going to do these drugs, you have to do it alongside your practitioner, right?

And the challenge that I see, you know, I'm a mom of two boys, which means I have access to all these moms at the school who are getting their drugs, who don't have blood sugar problems. They're getting their drugs from med spas, things like that. So it's not meant to at all criticize these places.

But if you are getting your drug from this place, is it just, hey, here's your three month pay us and then like good luck to you? Or are you being followed? Are your dietary patterns being followed? Are you working with a personal trainer? Are you working with someone if you're having constipation? We talked about those risk factors with constipation.
