Whereas sometimes the pure egg proteins, I didn't like the feeling on my gut.

So for whatever reason, that worked for me.

But to your point, it's another level of challenge if you're trying to recomp in that way.

We've seen in our patients, I get asked this all the time, I would say 15 to 20% of our patients are on trizepatide.

And unlike five years ago when we started using semaglutide in patients and were just watching muscle fall off these people, and frankly, my point of view five years ago was

I don't know about these drugs.

I think there's some benefit in some people, but I think there's a lot of downside.

I today think that virtually anybody can use these drugs safely.

By safely, I don't just mean in the obvious sense of the word.

I mean safely for long-term muscle health as well.

But it requires a ton of deliberate attention.

So I'm glad you brought it up.

This is exactly the group of people who you want to be using easy to digest protein sources.

And if you're on Terzepatide, you don't really want to stake.

You don't really want to have a big chicken breast.

You might not want to even have an omelet.

But if we have to make sure you're hitting that 1.6, you might be doing a bunch of liquid shakes.

And yeah, we can sit here and poo-poo processed food and say, how disgusting is it that people have to resort to eating shakes?

Okay, fine.

But if the alternative is they're not getting enough protein and they're on a drug that is making them anorexic, we also know the downside of that.
