I mean, can you find me one person who doesn't like, at least in some capacity, to just like eat tasty food and not have to worry about what's going in their bodies? Even people that like to concern themselves with healthy food They don't want to count individual walnuts. That's crazy. And so when people are like, Hey, you know, you're over fat and like, yeah, I wonder why.

And someone's like, it's some special thing in the environment that as soon as we get rid of, you're going to be back to normal. It's so tempting to believe that. But every piece of evidence we have so far says it's just not true. And it really is just overeating. But now that we know that overeating is a problem, we have lots of solutions to it.

One is just the willpower situation of just like making sure to organize your diet in a logical way. pre-plan what's going into your body, find a level of eating that's getting you to lose weight, stick to that until you get really diet fatigued 10 or 12 weeks later, and then coast into maintenance. But another one is we have a new class of drugs.

I call them modern anorectic drugs or modern obesity drugs. Things like semaglutide, aka ozempic, or trizapatide, aka manjaro. And the ozempic's also in one form known as wagovi. And these medicines are, and I'm going to say this, I think this is the first time I'm saying this on a podcast. I've just done a literature review myself on this.

For most Americans that are either of normal weight, yes, I said that, and especially of overweight, it's probably better for their long-term health to be on these drugs than not on these drugs. That's how powerful they are. And they come with risks and they come with downsides and they come with side effects to manage, but these are generally quite tractable problems you can work through.

I don't want to say a panacea, but it does so much good for your body that nowadays, because before it used to be before, I mean, three years ago, you try to do a diet and it's just going to be tough.
