Do GLP-1's fix insulin resistance or metabolic disease? 📱

追加: 2026-05-12

[00:00:11]Hello. Um, this is Laura from Healthy Carnivore. Helps if you turn your mic on, right? Um, anyway, I'm going to go over a little bit of what I'm going to uh of how I got here and why I do what I do. So, first and foremost, I am not a physician. This is not medical advice.

[00:00:26]What I'm going to go over with you is stuff that I have seen and studied for 35 years and lived. So these are things I have done. Um so in the beginning like I graduated in ' 89 by 90 I was 240 lbs.

[00:00:43]went to see my physician uh who told me eat low fat, no butter, no eggs, chicken breast with skin, no skin, uh fat-free dressings, which just really is layman speak for high sugar and seed oil uh laden stuff. Um so I did follow that and found myself at 313 pounds by the time I was 20. So um went to see him after doing lab work. My triglycerides were at least a thousand. Not sure how high they went. That's as high as their meter went at the time and found myself in his office a few days later. And he handed me a paper script for Lipur. Um, again, 20 years old. When I asked him how long I was going to be taking this medication, uh, he informed me it is forever. And I informed him, I'm not living out of a bottle for the rest of my life. uh which thankfully I'm so thankful that he was uneducated. That's the nicest that's the nice way I'll say that on how the body works because that then forced me to go out and get all the old medical books and journals, veterinarian journals from 1850 up to about 1910 before our medical system was hijacked. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go look up the Flesner report. look up um Rockefeller, Carnegie, all of those people and the takeover of medicine in 1910. Uh it'll be quite eye opening. No matter which side of the fence you're on, you will be very surprised at what has happened. Or maybe you won't be surprised. Um so anyway, I left his office, studied up as much as I could for several weeks. Um and everything was like processed. You know, the more something was processed, the closer it was to sugar. that was in a lot of the veterinarian books. Um it was in a little bit of the you know for the human species uh books talked about saturated fat. And then um closer to 1910 you started seeing where they were taking these um like rape seed oil. What was the other one? It's the one that they turn into Crisco that was used for lubricant in machinery and farm equipment.

[00:02:58]um that they were going they were trying they were in trials already of trying to make these things edible for the human body and we started incrementally seeing the increase of cardiac disease. And yes, we were doing um um you know they were looking at dead people for many many many many thousands of years prior to that and uh doing autopsies and things like that. There uh was no heart disease. So that is when that started. So anyway, went home, cleaned out everything, white, anything, processed anything in a package, uh, and just ate beef, deer, lamb, green beans, broccoli, made my own bread out of like I corn, um, stuff like that. I did use some honey, very little, but some. Did that for 9 months, lost 153 lbs. Went back to get blood work. my triglycerides were down to 33. I don't care what my other cholesterol was because I already knew the cholesterol is needed in the body and I really didn't care what they had to say about that. Um I just wanted my triglycerides down because I didn't want to have to poke myself. I love to poke other people. I do not like to poke me.

[00:04:16]Um so he did end up getting fired uh when I went back uh just because he was totally miffed that I did not fill his prescription. And then I told him how upset and how uh I was embarrassed that he had went through all these years in medical school yet did not know how food, environment, toxins, any of those things worked in the human body and how food is fuel.

[00:04:41]And I fired him. So, um, several years later, I decided to go to nursing school, which I'm glad I was keto prior to going because I already knew like this is crazy what they do to people like diabetics and stuff like that. You know, you get a low blood sugar and you're supposed to grab orange juice, put two or three packets of sugar so that it spikes them up, and then of course they crash again, and then you do it again and back and forth. Um, horrific. Horrific. Uh anyway, I just knew once I got done with that that I was never going to follow that thinking, nor was I going to teach that thinking.

[00:05:18]So that's how I found myself doing this.

[00:05:22]And I found my way to carnivore in 2019, first week of February. Um so I'm over seven years and it was the best thing that ever happened. So I'm not saying everybody needs to be carnivore. I do think everybody should do an elimination diet for at least 90 days to then start adding in one food group at a time to see if you have interactions to those things. Joint pain, brain fog, whatever it may be that you're dealing with. And if those things come back, then you know that those items are a do not touch very very often type thing. So that is kind of how I found myself here.

[00:06:02]So, I kind of tried to shorten that up because I've told it a gazillion times and it's crazy. Anyway, so I'm going to just say hi to everybody. Candice Jackson, hello.

[00:06:14]Let's see. Hey, Tara. Cheryl's here.

[00:06:17]Hey, Lorraine. Good to see you.

[00:06:21]Let's see your serum. Vitamin C.

[00:06:27]So, in my facial serum, I do have a vitamin C serum that I make and put in it and as well as vitamin E. It goes in there with those. So, yes, that is in there. Hey, Janice, how are you? Hey, Cat.

[00:06:42]Let's see. Hey, T.

[00:06:44]Happy Monday for sure.

[00:06:48]Let's see.

[00:06:50]Smu says, "Hey, cutie. He must be talking to you guys or she. I'm not sure." Uh, Simpson, hello.

[00:06:59]Um, Christine, hello. Danny, hello. Good to see you. And then Freethinker, hello. Good to see you. So, tonight's topic is a homeer of a topic.

[00:07:12]I'm going to try to keep it as short and sweet as I can, but there is just so many um articles out there on this now that it was just like yeah, I remember I worked on that for 4 days um after work. It was just mindboggling. So, all right. So, what I call this for tonight is do GLPS fix insulin resistance or metabolic disease?

[00:07:40]So, that is the question. And so GLP1s are the medications that some people are doing in like by taking a tablet. I'm not sure that that's doing anything. I don't know. It doesn't look like it's as strong. Um and some people take it subq shot once a week. Some people do it multiple times a week if they're micro doing. Um, nothing that I could find in this studying or a lot of people I've worked with showed any decrease in some of these things that I'm going to talk about tonight, whether they were micro doing or whether they were doing the too high a dose. For sure, the doses that are being prescribed by a general practitioner are extremely way too high.

[00:08:24]I still see these things and the studies actually still say that these things happen. uh it happens at a slower rate but they do still happen. So, um, GLP1 ones originally started out in 2005. Bietta, we use those with diabetic patients, you know, and the I mean, severely obese people. And I'm not saying that there might not be a little bit of a place for something like that.

[00:08:50]And I'm never going to tell an adult that they can't do something either.

[00:08:53]Like, if you're an adult and you're willing to take some of these risks that are there, that's totally up to you. Um, so let's go over some of the things. So when it comes to the GLP ones, they are shown while you are first taking them, and I mean the very first month that you do see some insulin sensitivity improved. It's not much, but you do see it. So that is that's a benefit. Um, and mostly that's just because it's lowering your appetite, and so you're taking in less calories. So that is more of what's doing it. It does slow down the gastric emptying reducing liver glucose output.

[00:09:34]Okay. So, uh slows down the gluconneogenesis.

[00:09:39]Um it does not correct the root cause of obesity, diabetes, any of these things that it's going after. Um it does not so it doesn't fix mitochondrial dysfunction. It doesn't help mus muscle insulin resistance and it does not fix hyperinsulinemia which just means too much insulin running in the blood. Those it's not shown to this.

[00:10:04]A lot of this data comes right from their websites. Um some of it's the CDC, some of it's NIH, some of it's just different uh medical journals. So um so basically when you're taking this medication instead of thinking cure you really need to think it's just controlling some of the symptoms.

[00:10:26]So the benefits um are very short term.

[00:10:30]Um you're going to see more of that in the beginning just like you would on a lot of other stuff. Then as time goes on um you do see a decrease in how well it works which is why you see the docs bumping it up. Um, I will tell you that some of your metabolic markers like your hemoglobin A1C, your your stuff like that, some of that and your fasting glucose, you do see some improvement within the first few weeks.

[00:10:56]Unfortunately, because our bodies are super smart, they do tend to adapt to this over time. Um, and then this is what I have worked with a lot of people.

[00:11:06]I've had a lot of people that were still on them while I was working with them, but a vast majority had reached like their hemoglobin A1C was perfect. So, they're like insurance won't pay. So, they had to stop taking it. You know, they didn't have $1,500 to $2,000 a month uh in order to pay for this medication and the the insurance isn't going to cover it if you don't have some of these coorbidities going with it. So once you do that, so uh what happens with this is what I've seen is appetite comes right back and it comes back raging. Weight regain is very often 50 to 80% within the first year of being off of the medication. Insulin resistance and A1C almost always goes back to as bad if it as it was, if not a little bit worse.

[00:11:57]Um, and then what you lose, you know, if you listen to the commercials and if you look at the papers in your box, it says that you can lose 20% of your weight.

[00:12:11]They do not say 20% of body weight fat.

[00:12:16]So, you might lose 20% of the weight that you have. That does not mean it's going to be fat. So, what they break down, and this is their information.

[00:12:26]What it says is basically what I'm saying is it doesn't override uh biology. It's not retraining it. It's just overriding it just while you're taking it and then it goes right back because biology is biology. So, what they showed is that and it did it did vary a little bit with age. The older was definitely worse. So, what they showed was you did lose 20% of your overall body weight. What you lost though was 40% lean muscle up to 40% bone loss and 20% of that weight loss was fat. So, you do lose 20% of fat overall, but you lose 40 and 40 of these important things, which as you all know, when you go off of something, whether it be a diet, whether it be a medicine pill, whatever it is, what comes back on the easiest, bone and muscle is definitely not coming on super fast after you're 40, probably even 35. Um, so, you know, fat's going to just come back on. So, that's the thing that I'm always kind of like, uh, be careful. um bone density. The worst area of bone density is in the hip and the spine. Um so that is as a nurse I'm always like hip fractures and compression fractures in the spine scare the hell out of me.

[00:13:50]So muscle of course is extremely important.

[00:13:53]When you have loss of skeletal muscle that ru uh it worsens insulin resistance and it lowers your basic metabolic rate because a lot of times just just sitting up and just moving around your house is going to raise up your your basic metabolic rate. Um it leads to falls, frailty, fractures, sarcopenia. I've done a a pretty good talk on sarcopenia which is age related muscle loss but this sarcopedia would be more to do with this medication not necessarily only with this but it did increase mortality risk in it was all age groups but especially the older age groups uh and older they say 50 sorry. So muscle is your primary glucose sink. Okay. So when you lose it, your metabolic disease is going to worsen.

[00:14:50]Bone loss, like I said, is the big big concern, too, because bone is hard to put back on. Especially a lot of people when you're taking these GLP1s, they do block the enzyatic action that happens in that small intestine, which is where nutrients get shifted to where they're supposed to go. So if you you know are you have sarcopenia or you have some osteopenia and you need the calcium and this and that you need calcium for muscle contractions also but you need the calcium for the bones and if you're not able to get that broke down into the molecules to get it sent to where it goes you're going to be deficient in that. And so that's where you see a lot of that even with good levels of vitamin D.

[00:15:35]So, um, like I said, the elderly is the ones that get it the worst. Uh, boneless, bone loss can be considered irreversible, especially after age 50.

[00:15:46]Re irreversible.

[00:15:48]So, at 35, 40, 45, you're still going to be able to to put on bone at age 50 with these. And this is coming I'll tell you when I get to where I went through other studies. This comes from these people who make this. Novo Nordisk is the main one. I get this information from.

[00:16:07]So bottom line for me is GLP1s are effective at appetite suppression. They temporarily improve some of your metabolic markers, but they do not fix the metabolic disease. Long-term use is going to be required, if not permanent use, which is scary as hell to me because I think about these little kids that they're trying to get this approved for six six years and up. they've already got it approved for 12 year olds. Well, if a six-year-old's walking around and needs this medicine, I think we all know who's to blame for that six-year-old looking like that and having metabolic disease. And yes, part of it does belong to the food industry, but I think we know who that rests on.

[00:16:49]Um, muscle and bone loss, like we said, is really clinically important because children, and this is another thing that scares me about the children, like I said, if you're an adult and you decide, I'm going to do it anyway, that's that's a choice. Children, especially preubescent, so they have not went into puberty yet. they are in um they are in an active phase of brain, bone, muscle and endocrine development. Appetite suppression during this window is not a good idea. Um and you know some of us start dieting when we were young younger than that anyway and look what it's done. You know it's made um like a lot of issues in our lives. So what we've seen in the studies that they did do on children that were 12 and up was impaired growth. So their stature stays smaller even though like when they take the measurements like they can take a measurement of your forearm, measurement of your thigh and they can pretty much tell you what your height's going to be at a year old. They can tell you. Um and these children did not meet that mark even though everybody else in their age group did. So the difference was these children were given GLP-1.

[00:18:05]Um they um also have a tendency of putting weight on much easier if they go off of these medications, which for these companies is great because that's a lifelong customer that they're going to have. I mean, they love people with high blood pressure at 25 or 30 because they're hoping to get 40 years out of you. But if they can get a med one of these medications on a child at 61 12 and then they have to stay on it till they whenever their last day is, that's a lot of money to be made. So muscle loss worsens insulin sensitivity as we were talking about earlier. So when when you have that when you have muscle loss, you also are going to have the bone loss, okay? Because you need that pull.

[00:18:52]You need that on the bones. So, you know, like we talked about earlier, the lifetime risk of fracture and osteoporosis is it's crazy and it's really horrible on these young kids because it's prior to them finishing developing. So, they also saw hormonal disruption with them and that their um energy availability was disrupted. So they didn't have that, you know, uh being able to get up and do things that they they wanted to do with the energy they should be having. Um they had delayed puberty, so um they, you know, much later. And then they had menstrual irregularities. That's another thing that scares me. The testosterone in these young boys was also suppressed, which is scary. And it it altered their leptin signaling. So that is required um to initiate puberty which I I don't think I was ever taught that in nursing school. When I saw that I was like leptin initiates puberty that's crazy.

[00:19:57]Um so this can have lifelong reproductive and endocrine implications for children which is what scares me. Of course we all know about brain development. What do you need for the brain? You got to have those fat calories. You got to have stuff. But um you're also blunting um the hunger and the reward signaling in the brain. And so the concerns are when you have altered satiety perception, emotional blunting. So they got that flat a effect, disordered eating patterns, poor internal hunger cues is seen later in life for them. So they also don't learn self-regulation, which I think that's hard for a lot of us. That's why a lot of us are here. We're not moderators, right? I'm not a moderator. I can't do any of these foods out there um that got me to where I was. So, with children, they also saw that they had extreme rapid fat regain um much faster than the adults did. So, um that's pretty scary. Now, some of this, and this is on their site still, so there they called it unknown long-term cancer and endocrine risk.

[00:21:17]They list it, but they say it's unknown.

[00:21:19]So, I'm not I don't that those two things don't go together. I wouldn't say, "Oh, your foot's going to fall off." If I didn't have data that said your foot might fall off, but whatever.

[00:21:30]So, this is what they have to say. uh that the data shows that there was increased risk in medularary thyroid C cell cancers.

[00:21:41]Um lifelong exposure starting in childhood. They had no idea how much that increased the risk because they said they didn't know what the risk was.

[00:21:51]But there obviously is a risk or it wouldn't be listed and it's actually pretty high on the listing of possible things that can come from it. So the other issue is there hasn't been long enough studies for these children. You know these were one to twoyear studies.

[00:22:06]Um there really needs to be much longer studies so that we can get a little bit better data. So um so as we always say and we've done this before we're effectively running ourselves as the uncontrolled experiment in some of this.

[00:22:22]So for me that is an ethical concern especially when it comes to the children. As I said before, if you're an adult and you're like, "Hey, I don't care about bone and muscle and I just want to look good in a size eight," it's okay. You know, we get to make those decisions. We get to make those decisions for oursel. So, um, let's see.

[00:22:49]Yeah. So, I'm going back over this is a still this is another snippet of theirs talked about the weight loss and it says faster scale loss 40% lean mass some uh bone density up to 40% loss fat loss 20 to 25%. So, I guess you can get up to 25. It did say that in people who were in the study that if they did one hour heavy lifting extreme high protein that they did see down to 25% muscle loss. So some of the muscle was preserved. Um but the fat loss didn't change. The fat loss stayed at that 20 to 25%. So, um, but like if I was going to take one of these, I would not do it long term anyway, but if I was going to, I would absolutely increase my protein to crazy high levels and I would do every kind of weightlifting that there is out there. I would do whatever it took. Um, I would do, yeah, a lot of the stuff that I already do, but I would really be doing it. I don't I couldn't find where higher levels of vitamin D or K2 D3 seem to counteract these. And I think that is because of that enzyme action at the small intestine that then doesn't matter that you have the vitamin D and the K2. It didn't seem like it's going where it needs to go. Uh because those enzymes are not getting in there and doing what they're supposed to do.

[00:24:32]Um so let's see.

[00:24:36]And this is still a little bit more.

[00:24:38]There was a lot of stuff on the kids. It just said that it can uh disrupt the leptin which then block their sex hormones which they've already had enough stuff given to them and sprayed on them and deodorants and all the rest of it and shampoos that's already going to do that. So there is delayed puberty in children, menstrual irregularities.

[00:25:02]um when you can try to do foodbased way of doing this and I know I'm going to have people go I tried everything food but and maybe you did and that's fine but that when you're doing it more naturally versus pharmaceutical uh ways of doing it, you're going to get better leptin signaling. You're going to get normal puberty. You're going to have better fertility markers on people. your brain is going to be better and you're going to have less of those eating disorders that I think a lot of these kids are going to end up having. So, time will tell on some of this. Um, which is sad. Like I said, I do think there needs to be a lot more studies on this. Um, another thing is with the food base, yes, we all fall off that wagon and go back to eating something stupid or bad for us for a while, but most of us come back to like, hey, this is what worked. I think the reason that I push more for that way even I mean, yeah, is because it's without medication. I hate to be on something that I have to go to my doctor. I've got to go to the pharmacy. I've got to get a petroleumbased product through the pharmacy cuz they all are. I don't want to be stuck on that. Not at 55, not at 12, not at 70 if I can possibly help it.

[00:26:29]So, to me, I'm willing to work diligently, a lot harder, whatever it takes in order to to uh get this taken care of without doing this. Um, and like I said, I've had some people who who use this, but I've never had anybody that didn't have side effects. I didn't have anybody that um some of the surprising things that I saw here in my research of this but also in some of the patients I've worked with which was kind of I don't know why it surprised me but it did was that some of their medications that they were taking their daily medications um like furosomide was one core egg carvdalol it's a beta blocker um the Um, like all of the diabetic meds all seem to really change how those worked in the body, which is kind of scary. Um, a lot of them they had to go up on stuff. Some things they had to go down. Um, and the doctors weren't really sure how to work with them. So, it's just scary. So, I'm not saying don't absolutely do it. I'm going to say it the same way I did in 2021.

[00:27:41]You just have to know and look up and be diligent of looking at what is in these things. What do they do? Maybe look at why does a company who produces this send it here, but it's not allowed to be used in their country, but they're making billions off of us. That always makes me kind of go, hm, something seems fishy there. So, that's just my two cents on that. So, let me see if anybody had questions on here.

[00:28:19]Uh, Lorraine, the vitamin C serum that I use it. Yes, it it's a serum and so I just put it some drops in the facial serum along with the vitamin E.

[00:28:31]Hey, Lambs.

[00:28:33]Let's see. Karen, hello Lorraine. Hi. My daughter is 36. She's 8 weeks pregnant. Doctor wants her to take children's Tylenol from the 10 to 30 to prevent 3:00.

[00:28:49]What?

[00:28:50]What the What?

[00:28:53]She her doctor wants her to take acetaminophen, which is Tylenol from 10 to 36 weeks of pregnancy to prevent preeacclampsia.

[00:29:10]If I was your daughter, I would ask the doctor if he can explain what the mechanism of action is that that is going to do that. I I would not be doing that. I would not be doing that to my baby's brain, especially at that stage.

[00:29:39]Did she have preeacclampsia before?

[00:29:42]Because really what she needs to be worrying about is like carbohydrates, things that are going to cause inflammation.

[00:29:50]Um, there's natural things like Hawthorne berry and magnesium glycinate that help keeps blood pressure naturally low. things that she can do to bring up her nitric oxide that are natural. I would have her look into that.

[00:30:07]I I have no idea what he's she whoever the doctor is is talking about.

[00:30:17]I have no idea. I'm very not often speechless, but I'm kind of speechless there. That's crazy. So, Jiffy says, "Hello. I worry about bone loss without any GLP." Yeah. Um that and that's just it. We already have so much bone loss now that I'm just like h and you know I have been in a size 26 and all I wanted to be was in you know a size 10 to size 12 and then when I got to a 12 I was like oo I'm going to shoot for an eight and then I got to an eight and then I was like I could be in a four. Um because that's part of the disorder. You know, you have that body dysmorphia where you don't see yourself where you truly are. Um so I've been there, but even at 313 pounds, I would not have done I would not. So, no thank you.

[00:31:12]Darlene, hello. Don is here. Hello.

[00:31:18]Let's see. Jiffy says, "They tried to put me on one six years ago and I declined. I'd rather be hefty than on that drug. Also, one of my aunts was big, ate real food, and died at 99. I'm carnivore. I'd like to follow her path."

[00:31:35]That's the thing. That's what I was talking with a patient today. Um, they were saying how, and this is before I was talking with them. They this had nothing to do with me, but I was very proud of them that they had stopped their statin. There was some stuff other things that they had stopped. They did a lot of their own looking up of what these things do, what cholesterol does in the body. Had families members who had made it to 100, all had very high cholesterol, very high LDL, very high vitamin D, and their hormones worked because they had cholesterol in the body. And they were like, I told my doctor that to get an additional 4.5 days with a cholesterol medicine, which is what they say you might, which also means you may not get.

[00:32:23]And half the time you ain't going to know who the hell you are, and you ain't going to know that you had four extra days because brain is cholesterol. So, you're going to have a lot of these other side effects. I've I have never met anybody that said, "I've been taking this for 40 years and have no side effects."

[00:32:40]Every one of them, especially the men, I'm like, "How's your testosterone level?"

[00:32:45]H And they're like, "Well, it's really low." And I'm like, "Yeah, sex hormones come off of cholesterol." So, anyway, see, I can get on my soap box. Jeffy, you get me in trouble.

[00:32:59]Uh, Don says hello to everybody. Danny says, "I have a 50-year-old friend who has been on GLP1 for a year and a half so far. I wonder if she will be on it for long haul." So, yeah, it'll depend. I mean, if somebody can afford to pay for that outright when the insurance quits paying for it, maybe.

[00:33:23]The sad thing is is you see a lot of these people who get emaciated looking and feel like, "Yay, I got to where I wanted to get." And then they their hemoglobin A1C stabilizes, normalizes, and the insurance is like, "Yep, we quit paying for it." Um, and then they're at the mercy of they don't have that stuff to take anymore. So, yeah.

[00:33:51]Yeah, Danny. And the the trouble is, and this is the other thing I tell people, if you're going to get on one of these, I really really really really recommend that you get a DEXA scan beforehand and you see what are your percentages of visceral, you know, your bones, your muscle so that you have a starting point so that you if you're going to do these things and then 3 months I would be doing another one of those and just see where you kind of sit so that you're informed. Okay, that's the main thing too. You need to be informed.

[00:34:25]It does work. Lamb says it does work for weight loss shortterm. I guess yeah, I have to think what it does on long term along with the weight loss and the weight coming back up again. And that's the thing. Don says, "My 57year-old sister was on it for 6 months and it is down 60 lb and has stopped months ago and still down." That's good.

[00:34:48]That is very very rare, but good for her.

[00:34:52]I do like to hear when people have had good outcomes. I would like to see what somebody's bone density is though, especially being 57. Um because if they didn't do a bone density in the beginning, we wouldn't know really if they had bone loss, but I haven't seen anybody that did not. Um let's see.

[00:35:12]Yeah, if the diet doesn't change, then the weight will definitely rebound back up, which it will. And yeah, so and you know there are a few people like I said we had some when we first came out with that Betta in 2005 that really went into it headlong did it for 3 to 6 months changed this change their mindset changed what they were putting in their body have kept up on that that we did see some good outcome but with that being said every one of them had pancreatitis gallbladder issues and ended up most of them losing their gallbladder and they had gastroparesis on and off multiple times and even complete bowel blockages were seen on not only in the studies but a lot of the people that I've taken care of over the years and that's that doesn't sound fun to me. I would rather just eat my meat, my fat, my salt and my water personally for myself. Um what do you think about the fact that a lot of people on social media want to be a cowboy?

[00:36:16]uh buy cowboy hats and boots and they want t-shirts from Cat or Ford. Don't know. Uh I don't think I follow anybody that does that.

[00:36:27]So, I'm really not sure.

[00:36:30]The people I follow wear hats, but they're not cowboy hats, and I will not say what their hats say, but I do like their hats. Don says she's very little. Oh, yeah. So, she's she's maintaining her weight loss by being in a calorie deficit, which everybody here knows, you don't have to be a nurse to know that that has some pretty serious risk of bone loss and muscle loss. That's not not great. So hopefully she's doing strengthening exercises, um balancing exercises, things to keep her gate strong and steady so that she doesn't have falls because she will be at a higher risk for sure of having um bones fractures. So her readings um her reading has changed, but it doesn't eat good food just small portions. Yeah, that's too bad. My friend who is on one says um she doesn't want to be on medication.

[00:37:40]Okay. Well, she is. Some of the people, and I'm going to bring something up that'll probably make some people mad, but some of the people in 21 who are in the camp that I was in who didn't really want to take something experimental that didn't have several years of evidence were the first ones to run out when this came to market, which I was like, really? Okay. All righty then. Okay. So, uh let's see. My sister-in-law was having a lot of issues with GLOP ones. So tiny now. I'm sure a lot of bone loss and muscle loss. Yeah, Karen.

[00:38:21]That's sad. Um, yeah, most of them, like I said, you get pancreatitis, gallbladder issues, liver. I've seen some liver issues uh where people had to have stances put in um to keep things flowing, which is scary. Uh Jiffy says, "My eldest cousin is 76. She is hefty but has absolutely no medic good. No medical condition. She is not carnivore but eats whole foods." Wonderful. Good for her. Um yeah, my mother eats whole foods and if she would just stay away from the uh scotch every night, I think she would have good joints. But you know, let's see. Laura, have you heard of alostatic overload?

[00:39:13]Partially. That is my reason for starting with goi. Alostatic overload. I have not. I have not. I'm going to write that down though because I want to see what that is.

[00:39:27]Static overload.

[00:39:34]I'm not. Yeah, of course I don't know what that is, but I'm not sure the mechanism of this GLP1 what it does to do that uh to do whatever to stop that or help decrease that load. Um I'm not sure.

[00:39:52]And 75. Yes, definitely definitely be careful for one. Dan says looks like you are set up for success, Jippy. I agree.

[00:40:02]I like it. Danny says in Bos. Yes. By the grace of God and my diet, I'm doing all I can. That's all we all can do. Not trying to get you in trouble.

[00:40:16]I can get myself in enough trouble anyway that I have to take my tinfoil hat off and put it back on, then take it off when it comes true. And you know, which happens a lot. So um if you want darlene if you can put in there what that is for you um then I can go back over that and maybe there that will make sense then what the mechanism of action might be to help with that. Um otherwise I am going to go ahead and go over next Monday's talk. So next Monday's talk is going to be over heart failure and congestive heart failure.

[00:40:51]Different things can be the same thing can be caused from the same thing. one leads to the other. Um, so I'm going to go over some of that. Boy, do I see a lot a lot a lot of that in in this area and very young seeing uh CHF in people in their early 30s now. And that I never really saw that much before. I didn't see a lot of AIB, which is just irregular heartbeat.

[00:41:19]I didn't see a lot of that stuff, but we do have a lot of that. So, I was going to bring up something else about something that was on a ship, but I'm not going to. But save that for a different video. Anyway, so I um let's see if I have anything else. Florine says, "Thanks.

[00:41:42]Make sure." Oh, let's see. Friend is on Goi and nearly everyone she works with.

[00:41:49]Sad. Oh, yeah. It is kind of sad. Thank you, Laura, for all of the valuable information. You're welcome. Um, if you did find anything valuable in this, please hit the like button, subscribe.

[00:42:01]Sometimes if you hit the notification bell, it'll tell you when I come live.

[00:42:05]Sometimes it does not. Who knows how this thing works. I don't know. Um, and then if there's somebody that you know that is possibly thinking about this, and like I said, I'm not going to tell them not to do this, but maybe there's some other things that they could do, or at least they need to have all the information. A lot of the people I worked with who did this early on were literally eating a ice cream Snicker bar that's like that long in this like this while giving themselves an injection.

[00:42:34]And I'm just like, mind is blown.

[00:42:38]What? Um, yeah, very young, too. Very young. Um, so I don't I don't know the I mean, if our doctors are not educating us on food as fuel, I can't believe for a minute that they're going, "Oh, by the way, not only do you need to eat more protein, you need to lift heavy, you need to be doing this, and you need to do this 7 days a week, not three days a week, 7 days a week in order to kind of stave off some of these side effects."

[00:43:07]So, yeah. Anyway, all right. Well, I am going to get off of here for this evening. I've got a crocheting um another blanket for another patient. I got to remember to take two with me cuz I have discharges tomorrow. So, they all get a blanket unless they're young cuz young people are like, "Oh, a blanket."

[00:43:28]People over 50 are like, "Man, that took like, you know, 3 weeks of your time to uh crochet." So, let's see. Jiffy says, "Good night, Laura. Get ready. I am looking forward to next week. Got a lot of experience. Have a great week.

[00:43:43]You are welcome. Thank you guys. As I always say, meet, heat, eat, and repeat.

[00:43:49]See you.
