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.

So those are the things we don't have conversation about. So I don't think the drugs are bad. In fact, I've seen the opposite. They've been so highly effective. But I've seen people... improve so much that when we even start the conversation of, okay, let's start thinking about weaning down, they'll be like, I'm not getting off these drugs. Are you out of your mind? Like, I'm not.

I'm going to stay on these for the rest of my life. If I get off these drugs, cravings come back. And unfortunately, they're right.

But I think this is a term I used earlier in the podcast is, you know, you really want to get bang for your nutritional buck 80 to 90 percent of the time. But if you're on a GLP, it's got to be 100% of the time. You have no capacity.
