In those cases where we see people like, oh, why are you on? Yeah, yeah. I mean, I agree.
This is how I like to communicate it. So when you think of an addiction, I know people argue, oh, there's no such thing as the addiction to hyper processed foods or addiction to eating in particular. I disagree completely. I think there are real addictive properties. And for some people, they're worse than for others for a lot of different reasons.

But there are the physical, physiological effects of the addiction. And then there's the psychological. So you smoke every day. You smoke every single day. It's a habit. You enjoy it. I can replace the nicotine you get from the cigarette. That's going to get rid of the physiological withdrawal of not smoking. but you still have the behavior in the association.

And this is why, by the way, nicotine patches and gums are better than nothing, but they're not a cure because they use the nicotine and they get that physiological effect. So it's not pulling as strongly, but they still miss the smoke, the whatever, right? And so you'll talk to anybody who smokes. This is what happens.

Well, what happens with the GLP-1 for some people, and look, we're speaking from experience. Remember, we train people for 20 plus years, I worked with enough people who had to lose a lot of weight and through my compassion and understanding experience, I was like, this is not the same for them. This is very hard. They're dealing with something that I don't, I've never experienced.

And gosh, I wish there was a way we could take the edge away a little bit. And that's what a GLP-1 does. It will take away that pull that feels incessant, that's constant. Now they still, they still can have some of the pull to the food because I still get stressed. I used to reach for food, but I'm not hungry anymore, but I still need something to. And so sometimes you'll see this.

In fact, we worked with people in our group. We had, we did a group coaching a little while ago with people on GOP ones. And there was, I remember there was a couple of people in there who said, you know what? I'm not hungry, but I still feel myself reaching for these foods when I'm stressed. Remember that? And that just highlights what I'm talking about.

So what you do with these individuals is you take away that strong pull, you give them time to break free from that behavior, and you replace it with another behavior that can supplant it. So maybe now when you're stressed, instead of reaching for food, you do this other thing or you attach it to something else. And then you do this over the course of a year or two years and
