[00:05:44]Nope, that's not it. There it is.

[00:05:48]>> Y we're consistent. That's what people say.

[00:05:54]>> What? I I forgot which button was the hand. I listen, I'm my own engineer. I figure all this stuff out myself. I think at the age of 63 that I do a pretty good dog on job of figuring this all out. You do. You do.

[00:06:08]>> We got Listen, we have people on. I'm looking at each one of the channels. I got the uh the the the comments here for Facebook right in front of me. I got the comments over here for Instagram to my right. And I also have the comments to my right for uh Facebook. I'm not Facebook for for uh the YouTube channel right here to my right. And we've got people watching right now. It's it's awesome. I think this is the first time I did this. So, I'm like having having a good time. I'm like a mad scientist doing all this stuff in the studio. This is crazy. And I did it by myself, Donna.

[00:06:40]I figured it out by myself. They they incorporated this new software to be able to >> to uh to broadcast, go live on multiple platforms. But understand this, different platforms have different formats. Meaning, we can be uh horizontal on Facebook and on YouTube, but guess what? Instagram is vertical.

[00:07:00]So, I I'm I'm looking at the vertical on Instagram right now. You got to set it all up and stuff, but man, this is I'm having a good time. I don't care if the show is good or not.

[00:07:09]>> For those of you who are interested in starting your own podcast, call Irving.

[00:07:15]>> I'm Listen, I don't care if we have a good show or not. I'm just happy that I was able to pull this off.

[00:07:21]And people are watching on Facebook, people are watching on YouTube, and people are watching on Instagram. Good God from Zion.

[00:07:28]>> That's great. Boy, >> modern technology is a booger. Good gracious.

[00:07:37]>> Okay.

[00:07:38]>> So, so listen y'all. Donna says she's not playing no more. Meaning, you know, she she she done got serious. She done found she done cracked the code. She cracked the code when it comes to GLP-1 drugs. GLP-1 drugs. I'm going I'm going to say these words and hopefully I don't mess it up too much. I'm I know she's going to come behind me and say them again. So GLP-1 drugs are glucagon glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists drug. It's a drug that treats type 2 diabetes and obesity by mimicking a natural gut hormone to regulate blood sugar. It regulates slow digestion and significantly it regulates or reduces your appetite. It's primarily delivered via an injection shot. So and and and the primary culprits I should say uh you probably recognize some of these names. Well, you'll recognize the first one. Ompic with Goi, right? Maro, Mangaro, and Zep Pound or Zep, I'm sorry. Zepbound.

[00:08:54]Zepbound.

[00:08:56]That's spelled Z E B O U N D. So, it's Ompic Wii. If y'all got a problem with my podcast, it's okay cuz you can't take me down. Ompici Monaro and Zepbound.

[00:09:13]I don't know if you if you any of you are watching right now. See, Mario Henry said, "Wow, interesting. You need to watch this, Mario." Um, I'm sure you know somebody that may be on some of these GLP1-1 drugs. So, watch this because >> Donna Donna's got it going on. She does, y'all. She works very, very hard and she's serious about what she does. And not only that, when you're a hard worker like that and you're serious and you're focused and you're determined and then you have the Lord on your side, good God from Zion, you you can be a problem for some for some some evil.

[00:09:49]>> You can be problem for some problems.

[00:09:51]You can be a problem for some problems.

[00:09:53]You can. And uh she is just that. She's a good problem to have. Why? Because she solves the problems. She's not a good problem for those doctors who are trying to keep people on drugs and don't tell them the truth about what's going on and don't try to get them into a position to where, you know, they can participate in their own health and well-being. They want people to be patients to to depend on the doctors. So, whatever the doctor says, that's what I know I got to do.

[00:10:22]No, that's not the truth. Not in totality. Yes, we do need to go to the doctor and get our blood work because the blood still works. You know, the blood will tell you what's going on. So, you need Oh, I'm preaching. The blood still works. You got to go get your blood work done because the blood still works. It will tell you what's going on inside. You love that, huh? Yeah. You like that? That just that just came up.

[00:10:44]I just I don't know. I just do it. The blood still works. So, get your blood work done so you can find out what's going on. But then there are also alternatives other than taking some of these prescription drugs. Now, some people do need to take prescription drugs. I'm not >> right >> I'm not saying don't take prescription drugs. What I am saying is there's an alternative if if it if it and and some of these alternatives that Donna presents, most of the ones she presents, they work.

[00:11:10]>> They work.

[00:11:11]>> Yeah. In in most cases, they're alternatives. And one of the reasons why I'm so passionate cuz remember I used to work in big pharma for almost 10 years.

[00:11:22]you know, I was one of the people that helped build that industry by the work that I did. And so, knowing the backside of that and knowing what patients are not told, >> that's why I am so passionate because I've seen it up close. And this whole GLP1 thing, I wasn't even going to touch it. I wasn't even going to touch it. And basically, >> you can't help it though. You can't help it. You know, when you know when you know people are being in not intentionally, I'm not going to say doctors are intentionally hurting people, but when you know people are hurting themselves and there's an alternative to it that they don't have to, you know, they don't have to actually use these drugs in some of these cases, you you can't sit by the sidelines and say nothing. You just can't. That's not in you.

[00:12:12]>> Right. And and that's true. And it actually started through this podcast.

[00:12:16]It was somebody that was watching the podcast and I don't remember which one but they sent me an email after the podcast and basically they said Donna you know I was on these GLP1 drugs do you know anything about it? I stopped taking it and all my hair fell out. And I was like, "What?"

[00:12:36]>> You know, I was like, I was totally I'm like, "Wait a minute. All your hair fell out." And they're like, "All my hair fell out? I don't know what to do." And they naming other side effects. And then I started talking to more and more people with all of these side effects when either they stopped or while they were taking them. And it just got to the point where I couldn't look the other way. I'm like, "People are suffering. I need to find out what's going on. We need to talk about this. Because then I also had clients that would come to me and say, you know, my doctor prescribed this for something else. Like I had one client who came to me and said, my doctor prescribed this because my cholesterol was too high. And I'm like, wait a minute, that doesn't even make sense.

[00:13:18]>> Right?

[00:13:19]>> And then and then as I did more research then but her cholesterol kept going up.

[00:13:25]And when I dug and dug and dug because a lot of times, you know, it's great to do research, but sometimes what's on the surface, you're not getting down to the real truth. But just because of my background, I know how to dig deep. I found out that that particular GLP-1 drug was actually causing her cholesterol to go up.

[00:13:45]>> Go up.

[00:13:47]>> And I'm like, and >> I'm like, this is so crazy. So crazy. Do you think I I hate to think this, but do you think doctors do things like that purposefully?

[00:14:01]>> No. Well, put it this way. Yes. Doctors, what people don't know is that doctors, and this is no slight against doctors.

[00:14:11]We need doctors. Okay.

[00:14:13]>> Yeah, we need doctors. but they don't know as much as you think they do.

[00:14:18]Particularly when it comes to drugs.

[00:14:21]When it comes to drugs, you're better off contacting somebody from a pharmaceutical company to find out more information about the drugs because the doctors only learn what their reps tell them >> and then what they decide to research on their own. So like for instance, one of the things that I had to do in my previous job when I was working with big pharma is travel all over the country all over Europe and actually interviewing and testing doctors on their knowledge and on and basically what they did in their practice and doing studies to help pharmaceutical companies market their drugs. So one of the things that we found is that depending on where you live the the level of knowledge that the doctor has can vary greatly greatly. I mean, I remember going to different areas, and I won't name those areas, so don't ask me, but going to different areas, and I'm like, "Okay, I got to tell all my friends that live here, >> don't like if you get sick, come come to the Northeast where some of the best doctors are with their knowledge because they're areas of the country that there there are regional differences in their knowledge and they don't know everything." And then also, but when you think about it, there's a lot out there to learn. I mean, there's new drugs coming out all the time, new clinical trials all the time.

[00:15:46]>> But listen, and and I I want you to get to what what you want to tell the people, but in in regards to what you just said about all, you know, this there's so much for them to learn. When I was a kid, Dr. Bradley lived across the street and there was one doctor. You didn't have to go to a specialist if you had something wrong with your foot or if you had something wrong with your hand or you had something wrong with your knee. Went to we went to Dr. Bradley and Dr. Bradley was the one who prescribed or took care of us or did what was needed to mend us. It was one doctor that knew everything.

[00:16:19]>> Now you have all these specialists and they don't know anything.

[00:16:26]>> I mean, seriously.

[00:16:29]Well, it's >> Wait, there weren't all these specialists when I was a kid.

[00:16:34]>> Well, here's here's the thing. I think specialists are good. I actually think they're good because it divides the information up. It divides the information up.

[00:16:44]>> But the problem is is the education that doctors are getting. Their education is they study anatomy really well, physiology really well. nutrition, it's almost none.

[00:16:59]>> Okay?

[00:17:00]>> Almost none. So, how nutrition impacts the body and how the body was designed to function, their knowledge is lacking there because it's not it's taught very little in medical school. So, that's a huge problem. And there are so many drugs and so many clinical trials coming out all the time. I think it's overwhelming for them. Specialists or or generalists, doesn't matter.

[00:17:24]>> Right. So tell so so tell us about these what what you have discovered because there's there is something better is what you're saying there's something better that you've you've you've jumped on.

[00:17:38]>> Yes. Yes. Well tonight I really I am going to talk >> I'm going to talk about Okay. I'm going to talk about yes, there is something better, but I really in for most of the time I want to focus on what's out there and what it really means and how it relates to other alternatives because a lot of people don't know what GLP1 drugs are. They don't know what they do. Most importantly, they don't know the side effects. And I think it's really important and it's and over the last several months when I've been working with people who are who want the GL uh P1 uh benefits but not the side effects.

[00:18:19]And a lot of these people started out because their doctors were recommending it. And they weren't told a lot of information. And I think that that that's where the crime is for me because some of this information when I get to you're going to be like the doctor didn't tell him that. And some of this I some of this to be honest and I I say this lightly, but to be honest, some of this I feel like how can they not know, right?

[00:18:46]>> Like some of this how can they not know?

[00:18:48]And we're going to go over that. But the first thing I want to make sure that people understand is what GLP1 actually is. is now Irving when you were reading the description in the beginning and that's a basic description that's out there and basically what it says is that the GLP1 mimics a hormone that's in our bodies and that's actually not true.

[00:19:16]>> What most people don't understand >> but but that's the information that's being put out there.

[00:19:22]>> That's the information that's being put out there. But it's but it's not it's partially true but technically it's not true. This is the reason why. So in our bodies we have a natural glp1 hormone. Okay? It's a peptide hormone that is God-given and it it functions in our body the way that it's that God designed it to function. And it has like three main organs that it that it reacts with is our pancreas and stimulating the pancreas to produce insulin. And that has to do with our blood sugar management. That and to be honest, the GLP-1 drugs when they first came out and I think that was back actually as early as 2005. It was first only indicated for type 2 diabetes. Now, it has a bunch of indications, but it signals the pancreas to release more insulin so that the insulin can get the uh blood or get the glucose out of the bloodstream into our muscles. Okay? That's the main thing that it does. And it does other things as well. And this is our natural hormone I'm talking about now, not the drugs, okay? It slows down our digestion. Okay?

[00:20:31]To give our bodies time to digest. And also in that same uh moment, it's signaling the brain, okay, you're getting full now. You can slow down. You don't have to keep eating like you're starving. And that's basically to keep people from overeating. Um it also affects the brain, our reward pathways in the brain, which govern our cravings.

[00:20:56]A lot of people have sugar cravings and salt cravings and you know, all kinds of food cravings. So, our natural GLP1 hormone, which is in our body, does all of these things to keep us healthy, to help us manage our blood sugar, and to help us manage our weight. And that is a godgiven hormone that is within us. Now, here's where the difference is.

[00:21:24]So, our natural GLP-1 hormone has a very short uh lifespan. It's called a halflife. I don't won't go into the technicalities of all that, but basically once it's released in the body, and it's released about 10 or 15 minutes after we finish eating, our body releases GL1 GLP1. All right? And it's only active for one to three minutes.

[00:21:50]That's it. And then it is swiftly cleared out of the body via our kidneys.

[00:21:57]All right? And then there's a we get a second surge of GLP-1 basically between 30 and 60 minute minutes after we eat.

[00:22:06]Now, here's the big difference with the drugs. So GLP-1 is an actual hormone.

[00:22:13]The GLP-1 drugs, you would think because there's a lot of drugs that big pharma makes that mimics something that's already working in the body. This one actually doesn't. So the GLP1 hormone in our body attaches to certain receptors that we have that basically starts this whole process.

[00:22:34]>> Okay, >> the GLP1 is a 100% synthetic chemical. It does not mimic the GLP1 hormone in our body but what it does is that it stimulates the receptor and that's why it's called a receptor agonist. So if you think of let me pick something up. So if you think of this as a receptor what the drug does it doesn't look anything let me give you an example. So let's say here we go. So let's say this is our GLP1 natural hormone. All right, that attaches to this receptor receptor and all these wonderful thing happens. The drug looks completely different. Doesn't look anything like the natural hormone, but it starts doing this and it starts stimulating the receptor for things to happen in our body that are good. Mhm.

[00:23:34]>> But the big difference is that it does this >> for about 2 weeks.

[00:23:42]>> Two weeks straight >> as opposed to Wow.

[00:23:45]>> God designed this to be cleared in 3 minutes.

[00:23:49]>> That's the big difference. Now, if God designed this to happen for three minutes and now we have something that doesn't look anything like this and we're doing this for two weeks, >> for two weeks, >> that's a problem. That's a problem. So, here's the thing. So, there are natural alternatives out there that can help boost this natural process, help boost this. Okay? And basically it may happen instead of being cleared in 3 minutes, maybe it'll clear in 5 minutes or whatever. But again, that's like putting that's like giving you uh like a birthday candle boost or a match boost.

[00:24:29]Okay. This is like putting a blowtorrch boost. Okay.

[00:24:36]>> So So it's it's twice as bad.

[00:24:39]>> It's Yeah, it's twice as bad.

[00:24:41]>> A catillion times bad.

[00:24:43]>> Wow. I mean, it's like, oh my goodness.

[00:24:49]>> No, it's like, oh, Zic.

[00:24:54]>> That's what it's like. Oh, Zepic.

[00:24:58]>> Exactly.

[00:24:59]>> Wow.

[00:25:00]>> And that's that's the part that's really really bad. Now, again, the GLP one that it does wonderful things. It also helps our body burn fat. That's why people are losing so much weight. So, our natural GLP one, it's happening every time we eat, you know, for just a few minutes and then it's clear. This one, it there's no off switch. It just keeps happening. That's why people are losing so much weight. Now, here's the other thing that literally blew my mind.

[00:25:33]>> So, and again, all this has to do with digestion of food and how food is metabolized, right? So, it slows down digestion. And again, if you use something natural, it's going to boost our natural GLP. So, it's going to slow down digestion a little bit further, but it still should help the body with its elimination and detoxification pathways. Now, this is for you, Irvin, because I know sometimes you go here and you're going to be really surprised that I'm gonna go here first this time.

[00:26:05]>> Okay. When you're on when people are doing this, some people don't go to the bathroom for one to two weeks at a time.

[00:26:14]>> Oh no.

[00:26:16]>> Oh no.

[00:26:20]>> Whoa. I don't normally bring this up.

[00:26:22]Yes.

[00:26:22]>> What?

[00:26:24]>> Yes. This >> So they don't think that's a problem?

[00:26:29]>> Here's the thing. when they look in the mirror and they see that they have never been this small in their entire life.

[00:26:36]>> Yeah, but you ain't been to the bathroom the last two weeks. That's a problem.

[00:26:41]>> But but here's the thing and that's and that's why I am so like crazy about this cuz I'm like we really got to sit back and think about what we think about ourselves, our body. We have to prioritize how we feel over how we look sometimes. But the way our society is, the way this world is is there's so much focus on, you know, being thin and looking this way and and all the all the things, okay, that it's like whatever it takes. They're like, you know what? It's working for me. And I'm going to go over some other side effects that will lit literally make some people, most people hopefully run, particularly since we have alternatives. But yeah, this this is a blow torch. Our body was not designed for a blowtorrch put to our uh GLP-1 receptors. And that's what the drugs do.

[00:27:39]>> And you know what? Some we Yeah, we do.

[00:27:41]We pay so we put so much weight >> uh on the external what we look like >> and what people think what we think people think we look like. Um but you know what? Some people aren't going to be you're not going to be skinny. You're not Some people aren't going to be thin.

[00:28:00]You were made >> the size you were made cuz that's the way God made you and God didn't make a mistake.

[00:28:07]>> So, you're trying to do all of this artificial stuff >> to to to recreate something that God created.

[00:28:15]>> You're you're what was it? We have perfect imperfections. Boy, I just said something right there.

[00:28:21]>> Write that down. We Yeah, we have we do we have perfect >> imperfections.

[00:28:27]>> We're not perfect, but we are perfect.

[00:28:30]Why? Because we're the way God made us >> and God didn't make a mistake. So all of our imperfections are still perfect.

[00:28:37]Because God made us that way and he made us to depend on him. Not not to look at ourselves and not like the way we look because I'm too big or I'm too dark, I'm too thin, I'm too heavy. No. If you if you eat right, eat good. Okay, let me not say eat right. If you eat foods that don't have pesticides and preservatives and all these other things, if you eat try to eat right, drink water. I'm I'm a water man now. You made me a water man.

[00:29:10]I'm not You made me a water. All I drink is water now. I don't drink anything else.

[00:29:16]>> It's crazy. It's I'm Yeah, but it's not I want to I want to enjoy orange juice and apple juice and things like that.

[00:29:22]>> You can't. You can still enjoy.

[00:29:24]>> I know I can. I know I can, but all I drink is water. I found >> But that's that's fine.

[00:29:29]>> I found water that tastes good now. And that's all I drink is water. That's crazy. But you'll you'll be healthy.

[00:29:36]Healthy is what's most important. And health doesn't necessarily show on the outside. It's on the inside. What's going on inside you? Um, so don't put so much dog on weight on into what you look like because you know what? You can be pretty on the outside but ugly on the inside. Now you're just pretty ugly.

[00:29:58]>> That's right. That's right.

[00:30:01]>> You're just pretty ugly. The and the thing is and it really goes back to the spiritual which even what we talked about last month because when you think about it like you said talking about eating right, making the right choices and this is the thing that blows my mind about mankind because the fall of man started with food.

[00:30:22]>> The very first sin food.

[00:30:26]>> You know what I'm saying? And it hasn't changed. And that's that's the thing that blows my mind. And I'm just like, and particularly for those of you who are believers, particularly for you, it's kind of like um we we read what has happened in the Bible in the beginning.

[00:30:42]So, we know the story, but we still struggle with the same thing. And that's why what we talked about last month, what I'm talking about like crazy now is making a covenant decision and living a covenant lifestyle and living according to covenant wellness. When you do that, >> you will be fine. And it doesn't mean that you have to be perfect. Like you said, there's going to be imperfections.

[00:31:08]It doesn't mean that everybody's going to eat exactly the same way. But it means that you are going to be eating in a way that honors your body, but most of all honors God.

[00:31:21]>> Now, when we get to the end and I start talking about an alternative, I'm going to show you how you can do that cuz some people do need help. I mean, sometimes no matter what you do, people seem to be falling off the bandwagon. And that's why I came up with this came up with this whole thing with regarding covenant wellness. But I'm also going to give you an additional tool for those that are interested that if you want a little boost, there's there are boosts out there. And they come directly from God, not synthetic chemicals. Cuz whenever you put a synthetic chemical in your body, I don't care how good it is. And I don't care why you need it. And you may actually need some of them to live to sustain life, but it's going to have side effects every single time. There's not one drug that has side effects. What gets me upset is when there are drugs out there that are unnecessary >> that are unnecessary. When we have alternatives.

[00:32:18]>> Well, before you give us the alternative, I got to do something.

[00:32:21]Okay.

[00:32:22]>> Okay.

[00:32:22]>> I got to I got to promote something real quick here. Uh tomorrow for all all of you who are watching right now, I'm getting ready to throw something uh a link in the chat.

[00:35:29]So, it's on YouTube and we're on Instagram. All right. I appreciate y'all. Thanks.

[00:35:35]So, go ahead, Don. What is it that uh what is the Well, let me see. Al Allan Daniels, he says, "In my opinion, it's all about the dollars. The pharmaceutical companies are the biggest drug dealers in the world. So, some medications are not good for all people." Yeah, you're right, bro. You're right. He's on Facebook. Stro Crawley.

[00:35:56]Go ahead.

[00:35:57]>> Can I comment on that a minute? Yes. And I think that is a very very true statement. And what I tell people is that you have to remember yes there are drugs that we absolutely that some people ab absolutely need but you have to remember when it comes to drugs when it comes to conventional medicine just do not forget that it is a business. It's a business. So just keep that in mind. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't take it all the time. Just keep in mind that it's a business and if they were not making money, they would not be making it for you.

[00:36:38]>> That's right. And health and healthcare is supposed to be about helping people, but healthcare is about getting money.

[00:36:46]That's what healthcare is about. It's a business.

[00:36:47]>> It's a business.

[00:36:48]>> It's a business. And keep that in mind.

[00:36:50]Keep that in mind. It's a business.

[00:36:51]Everybody's out to make money. And the doctors, the pharmaceutical companies, they are not gods. Okay? You need to take charge of your own health and you need to be an active participant in the decision. And in order for you to be an active participant in a decision, particularly in this world, in this society, you got to ask questions. And before we get to an alternative, I want to go through some of these side effects because people don't know what they are.

[00:37:22]And you and if you are taking any type of GLP-1 drug, you need to be asking your doctor about this. Even if you don't experience any side effects because there are some people are like, you know, I've been taking this drug and I feel fine. Here's the thing about conventional medicine. You can feel fine for years and the side effect that's taking place is taking place in the body as a very slow process because what it's doing it's actually causing your body systems to go offbalance in various areas that you may not feel until years later when something finally breaks down. And that's what people have to understand. I don't care what the drug is. And so and again, and I'm going to keep saying this, it doesn't mean that we should never take drugs. But what it means is that you need to know what you're taking. You need to know the side effects. And most of all, you need to know if it's absolutely necessary or if there's some other way that you can do it because if there is, I would definitely take a look at that. Consider that, >> right?

[00:38:29]>> You know.

[00:38:29]>> Yeah.

[00:38:30]>> And so I want to talk about some of these side effects.

[00:38:33]>> Go right ahead. Give you the screen.

[00:38:35]Okay.

[00:38:36]>> Try to stay right to where you are for for the Instagram people. Stay right where you are. That's great for Instagram right there. Yep.

[00:38:42]>> Okay. Um for uh one of the main side effects is gastrointestinal uh side effects, you know, like vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, uh bloating, you know, that's the main main side effect. And also when it comes to gastrointestinal symptoms, sometimes I've heard some people and I've talked to some people where the appetite suppression is so great that they don't eat and then they end up not getting enough nutrition. That's a problem.

[00:39:17]Okay. Another side effect is inflammation of the pancreas. Something that you probably won't feel right away.

[00:39:24]Another side effect is gallbladder disease. All right. Now, I'm going to talk about two side effects that worry me or I'll say bother me the most. Okay.

[00:39:36]The first one is muscle and bone loss.

[00:39:42]This is huge. Okay. Particularly if you are over 40, over 50, over 60 and on up, okay? Because as we age, we are already tend to lose muscle mass. All right? But when you are on a GLP1 drug and you are losing weight and you think you're you're losing just fat, you are losing a huge amount of muscle mass. Up to 40% of your weight loss, you're losing muscle mass. And that is dangerous for your health. And that muscle mass that you are losing, you're not gonna get it back. You are not going to get it back.

[00:40:27]And I know you've probably heard and some of you may know people, you know, that have had, you know, cancer. And sometimes when they they're in their last stages, they go through something that's called muscle wasting. And that's when they're losing muscle mass at a very high rate and at a very high speed.

[00:40:46]So when you are losing muscle mass, your body is deteriorating. I mean because our muscle mass has so much to do with our metabolism, our metabolic health.

[00:40:57]When you start losing that, that is critical. That's critical. Now, here's the thing. I'm going to give you an example. So let's say you um lose 100 pounds on a GLP-1 drug. Let's say you lose 100 pounds and you're just like, and this is just an example. this is just great. I feel so good. You know, I look good. And let's say you go off of it and you start to for whatever reason, and here's another thing, because the person that came to me, it's not that they wanted to be off the drug, cuz here's another thing that's going to start happening more and more. The insurance stopped covering it.

[00:41:36]>> The insurance stop co stopped covering it. So, it was so expensive, they could no longer afford it. Okay? then they start experiencing all of these side effects. Now, so when you do that, you're going to start gaining the weight back. So, let's say, well, I I'll say 50 lbs. Let's say you lose 50 pounds. So, when you start and say 50% of it was uh fat and 50% of it was muscle muscle >> and you lose 50 lbs. When you gain 50 lbs back, you're not going to gain 50 lbs of muscle and 50 lbs of fat. You're going to gainif uh 50 lbs of fat. I mean, you're not going to gain 25 of each. You're going to gain 50 lbs of fat.

[00:42:21]>> That's a problem.

[00:42:22]>> Yeah, >> that's a problem. Because what happens is when you start adding all of that fat and more than you had before back into your body, that puts you at an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, for cancer, and for many other serious illnesses. So that's huge. Now, here's the other thing. So again, I I basically I brought together I've kind of put it out there. I'm gonna do an experiment. I'm going to do an experiment and anybody that wants to participate, you can participate and I'm going to give you an alternative and actually I had a control group and I had an experimental group. All right. Now, when I was talking to the people as they were joining how they however they were going to join the experiment, some of the people had been on GLP-1 drugs before, some of them had not. And the people that had actually said when they started gaining their weight back, it felt different. They were like, "It feels completely different." When their cravings started coming back, it was worse than before. So, they ended up being in a worse state than what they actually started out.

[00:43:38]>> That's That's huge. That's huge. and they had no idea that this was going to happen. Now, here's the thing that was like when I read this, I'm like, "Oh my goodness." And everybody that participated in the experiment that had been on a GLP-1 drug, I asked every single one of them, "Did your doctor tell you this?"

[00:44:04]>> That was going to be my question. Yeah.

[00:44:06]My question. Did they I mean, did they know? I mean, are the are these people taking are these people are people taking these GLP1 drugs because they want to or because they have to? I'm talking about the ones who are like taking ompic to lose weight. Is that because they want to because they want to lose weight or because the doctor's prescribing it to them so they can lose weight?

[00:44:33]>> Both.

[00:44:34]>> Both.

[00:44:34]>> It's both. So, let's think about it.

[00:44:36]Let's think about >> so people can just go take exemp they have to get a prescription from their doctor don't they >> correct?

[00:44:42]>> Yes.

[00:44:43]>> Correct. So I mean you think about it from a human perspective. You have a person who's been struggling with their weight their entire life. Okay. And in struggling with their weight it has affected their health as well. They they maybe got type two diabetes um you know high blood pressure.

[00:45:02]>> Yeah. But often times that's because people are not taking care of their bodies. You know, it's it's some of the bad habits that they have that have brought them to that place of of of not being healthy.

[00:45:15]>> It's a it's a choice. It's a choice.

[00:45:19]>> Yeah. It's the choices they made. Yes.

[00:45:21]>> It's the choic in most cases, I would say.

[00:45:24]>> Yes. In most cases. But my mom, she has a saying. She was like, "Some people just have the can't help it.

[00:45:33]And that is that is somewhat true, but it's it's still a choice. Okay? It's still a choice. And that's why, like we talked about last month, the the key here, this is where I really cracked the code, is making a covenant decision.

[00:45:49]When you make a covenant decision, it changes your entire behavior. But there's so much what what it um Oh gosh, I forget the name. Food Babylon is what I call it. Food Babylon is out there. Is it food? I mean, with all we are just like flooded. We're flooded with all of these commercials about eat this, eat that, this. I mean, we're flooded with that.

[00:46:16]And it looks good. And here's the thing.

[00:46:19]When we see food, before we put one thing in our mouth, the digestive process starts just by seeing the food.

[00:46:26]Just by seeing it. Okay? it does something to the brain. You know what I mean? So people want it and for some people that is very hard to overcome. So if the doctor who they think is God says, "Well, you can take this and this is going to help you." And no, there aren't really any side effects that I know of or they don't even say anything.

[00:46:48]They say, "You know what? This is going to help you. It's it's FDA approved. We assume that it's safe." Right.

[00:46:54]>> We assume that it's safe >> and because their doctor's telling them they trust the doctor >> and Yeah. they put their trust in the doctor rather than like you say doing your research, you know.

[00:47:04]>> That's right. So now I'm going to tell you something that's going to blow your mind. All right. So I already talked about losing muscle mass, which is enough in itself. Mhm.

[00:47:14]>> The every single GLP1 drug on the market and everybody that I've talked to, the doctors never told them this. The FDA has a blackbox warning for all GLP1 drugs. And blackbox, what that means, it's the FDA's strongest safety warning. And they have their strongest safety warning for GLP1 drugs for thyroid cancer.

[00:47:46]>> Whoa.

[00:47:47]>> Everybody, I'm like, "Okay, let's go home."

[00:47:51]>> What?

[00:47:51]>> Let's go home. Yes. Yes.

[00:47:55]It can cause tumors in your thyroid, which puts you at a high risk for thyroid cancer. A blackbox warning.

[00:48:05]That's its highest safety warning. Every person that was on it that participated in in this experiment, I said, "Did your doctor tell you?" I mean, even if the doctor didn't tell them anything else, nothing.

[00:48:16]>> They should tell them that at least, but they're not they're not telling them that.

[00:48:20]>> They're not telling them that >> because if they if they would tell them that, you know what? Probably half the people wouldn't take it.

[00:48:27]>> Exactly.

[00:48:28]>> At least half the people wouldn't take it. Yeah.

[00:48:30]>> When you talk about it can cause cancer in my thyroid. Come on. What? No. Oh, no.

[00:48:35]>> Exactly. Exactly. Now, here's here's the thing. Here's the thing. So, and as I'm doing my research now, the in terms of this risk for thyroid cancer, the studies were done, most of the studies were done in animal studies, which is not unusual because most of the drugs that we have out the experiment with animals. Yeah. But there's also in the literature it says that endocrinologists and diabetes specialists who are the most that recommend or prescribe these drugs >> be they're basically saying well it's it really didn't show it in a human yet. So you really can't say that.

[00:49:21]And I'm like do you really care about your patients? Like would you say that to your mother?

[00:49:27]>> Right? You know, and see this is this this is the kind of thing that gets me upset. That >> that was that that that just confirms that that it's about money.

[00:49:34]>> Yes, it's got to be. It's got to be. I'm like, if there's a blackbox warning, I cannot believe that a doctor doesn't know that, right?

[00:49:43]>> And doesn't tell their patient that that I mean, that one thing al I mean, we could literally have I we could have come on this show and given that one side effect, potential side effect, and then we could have just gone home as far as I'm concerned.

[00:49:56]>> Right. Yeah, cuz it's over. That's the end of the story. No more ex >> I don't need to know.

[00:50:02]>> No more anything else.

[00:50:04]>> Oh no.

[00:50:08]>> Wow.

[00:50:08]>> When I saw that, I was like, I have to do this. I have to tell people it's not just about hair loss. I mean, women were freaking out because their hair was falling out, but my goodness, thyroid cancer.

[00:50:21]>> Yeah.

[00:50:22]That's Yeah.

[00:50:23]>> I mean, that >> that sounds painful. That sounds painful.

[00:50:27]>> Yes. And that's the other thing. I mean like cancer in itself is horrible no matter where it was. But here >> Yeah. Yeah. That sounds painful.

[00:50:36]>> It sounds very painful. Sounds very painful. So that's where I really get upset when I see things like that and the doctor is not telling people. And this is something that I think everybody should know. And again, the drug is on the market. It's a choice. But you need to be an important participant in that decision. The doctor needs to give you all of the information so that you can decide, am I going to take am I going to take the risk >> and use the GLP-1 drug or am I going to try to do it another way?

[00:51:13]>> I feel like >> Go ahead. No, go ahead. No, go ahead.

[00:51:16]>> I So I feel like when you don't tell someone, you are robbing them of that decision. You're robbing them of that decision.

[00:51:23]>> Yeah. And and if anybody who is watching right now or who will watch this, if you know someone who is taking either ompic or wii or mangaro or zepbound, if you know someone who's taking these uh GLP1 drugs, tell them to come back and watch this this uh broadcast. tell them to come back and watch this video here at the frier place on wellness week with Donna's information because here in a minute she's going to give uh us the information that we need >> for the antidote for the alternative. Um I want to just say thanks Hope uh my sister Hope uh the link that I could not get in Facebook on the Facebook page uh for the watchers viewers tonight is right there. Hope Wy uh just throw it up there if you guys can see that that link for the Autism Foundation walk uh to donate. Please uh check it out. Those of you who are on Facebook right now, some of you gave uh put in one comment, two comments, and you haven't commented uh as of late, but Hope just put that in. So, right there next to Hope Wley's name is the link for you to donate. Please help a brother out. Donate to the Autism uh Eagles Autism Foundation. tomorrow as we walk.

[00:52:42]It's a 5K. I would try to run, but I haven't been running lately. So, maybe next year I'll run.

[00:52:50]>> Maybe next year. I I'mma raise a whole lot of money if I run. Y'all, if I run, y'all, please, y'all better give them out there killing myself.

[00:53:02]>> So, so what is the alternative here?

[00:53:05]Here it comes. should give a drum roll.

[00:53:07]But what is the uh what is the alternative to to this? I mean other than is it any is it something other than hard work?

[00:53:16]>> Oh yeah. I mean here so here's the thing. I'm not going to give the name of it because I don't want this to come I don't want this to be about a certain product. Okay? But I chose a certain natural product or product system that incorporates herbs. It incorporates plant extracts. It incorporates minerals, prebiotics, postbiotics, antioxidants. I mean, all of these things that come from plants that God has given us to help our bodies. Cuz that's the other thing. See, the other thing about drugs is that they try to mimic, >> right?

[00:53:57]>> Plants. Okay? Cuz plants are what God gave us to heal these bodies. With the GLP1, they didn't even try to mimic it.

[00:54:03]They were just like, "Let's just bang on the receptor, you know, but there are things that can actually help boost our GLP1 production." All right? And there is a product out there, and I'm not going to name it because again, I don't want this to become because again, some people can watch videos and it can become a battle of the products, but for various reasons, I chose a particular product. I put it out there. for anybody who wants to participate in an experiment, you're welcome. I had about a little over 40ome people sign up for it. Wow.

[00:54:38]>> And I would say between 20 and 30 chose to be in the experimental group versus the control group, which basically means they decided to try the product that I chose. And the results that we got were off the charts. I mean, everything that the GLP1 says that they do, this product in all of its natural, 100% natural ingredients, everybody that participated, they lost weight, >> they lost inches, they had a good enough appetite suppression. So now when they make their covenant decision, because that's the other thing I was on every week with this with these women talking about this is a tool. This is not what you bank your life on, but this is a tool that we can use to help strengthen you as you are trying to operate in covenant wellness. But everybody still needs to make a covenant decision. This made it so much easier. Yeah. Because their cravings Yeah. Their cravings were gone, right?

[00:55:46]>> Yes. Like the sugar cravings went out the window. The salt cravings went out the window. The the the junk food cravings >> went out the window. appetite suppression was down. So, they didn't feel like eating all day. They just ate at the appropriate times where they knew that their body needed it. It also gave people energy. I mean, people were talking about something I didn't expect.

[00:56:08]It gave me energy. I was able to focus better. It also helped with people's digestion, their gut health. That it was like, I'm going to the bath. I have better elimination. They just felt better. I'm going to the bathroom >> because again you'd be surprised that you know people have issues with digestion and it was like it was hitting everything. Everything. And what really blew my mind >> is that people were seeing results within the first week.

[00:56:44]>> Get out of here. Is that how fast is that how fast they see results with these these uh GLP1 drugs?

[00:56:51]>> You know what? That's a good question. I don't know.

[00:56:54]>> I know it's pretty fast.

[00:56:56]>> Those are pretty fast.

[00:56:57]>> I know it's pretty fast. And the fact that they it stays in your system so long, like one to two weeks, I would imagine that they do see them that fast.

[00:57:06]>> But um these are I mean, it was totally amazing. And I just want to say to all my people out there, if there's any women watching right now and you were in this experiment, please put it in the comments. Don't put the product name.

[00:57:19]Don't put the product name in the comments, but please put it in there how much it helped you. And if there's anybody that is interested in what it is there, okay? Contact me. Okay? My website is donna21.com.

[00:57:34]You can go to my website and send me a message or you can email me at hello damarie21.com.

[00:57:43]Contact me directly and I will get you the information. But I'm telling you, it worked. And here's the thing. So, I did not have a reason. I don't have a reason to need a GLP1 boost, but I wanted to try it anyway because I was like, you know what? It's all natural. It shouldn't hurt me. All right. No side effects. And I wanted to see how it made me feel. Now, particularly now, I don't know if it's the same for men. you can let me know if it is. But for women, most women that are over 40 or 50 or 60 and above, you know, as we get older, it's it takes a little bit more effort with this belly fat. And even though I still consider myself a thin person, I still got to look, you know, sometimes I'm like, "Okay, you know, I got to switch this up or switch that up."

[00:58:32]>> Well, promoting health, you better you got to look healthy.

[00:58:35]>> That's right. That's right.

[00:58:37]you're promoting health and wellness, you better look healthy.

[00:58:40]>> That's right. But so, but anyway, I took it anyway just to see how it would make me feel. I'm like, "Okay, it has all of these, you know, gut health ingredients." To be honest, I felt great on it. And even with me, like sometimes because of my schedule and sometimes the way that I work, there are some times where I'm like, I just feel like snacking. And sometimes I snack when I don't necessarily need to snack, but it's because I'm just like, "Okay, I'm working on this. I need a snack. I'm driving. I need a snack." But when I was doing this program, and I'm actually still doing it because we we set up a 60-day challenge. We're on we're still on that second cycle of 30 days.

[00:59:18]>> Okay.

[00:59:18]>> The appetite suppression is real. It is absolutely real. I mean, sometimes I would see something and I'm like, I want to eat that cuz I like that snack or I like those, you know, ciiete chips or the huge chocolate, but my body was like, you don't need that. You're not even >> You didn't eat any Chipotle barbecue chips.

[00:59:37]>> You didn't eat Tell me you didn't eat any of those.

[00:59:40]>> I won't say that I didn't eat anyway.

[00:59:43]>> Stay away from them.

[00:59:46]>> Like whenever I'm driving, I have to have like my crunchy snacks. Chipotle a lot less. Chipotle barbecue chips.

[00:59:54]>> Yes. I a lot The thing is I can actually go into Wegman's or Whole Foods or Mom's and not think about the chips.

[01:00:02]Seriously, like before I'm just like I want the chips. Now it's just like, you know, I could live with it or live with it. I mean, I literally do not have a craving for the chips or anything else.

[01:00:13]>> No, that's big because I got two bags the other day when I was in Wgman. Two bags. So, Beverly Parker says, "It has helped me and I'm so glad I'm in this challenge over 30 days." And there were a couple of more here. Um, who is this?

[01:00:29]Bishop Karen Rogers says, "I love I love not being hungry." Wow. Um, the appetite suppression is amazing. That's Chef. Is that Mars? Yeah, Mars. Chef Mars Cuisine. CM Rogers says she's telling the truth. There was another one that Rogers had up here uh when she said it works. It definitely works. Uh I am who was that? Lorraine.

[01:00:55]It says it definitely works. CM Rogers.

[01:00:58]Yes, it works. So you got a people some people in here commenting who are in the challenge who are living witnesses >> of uh of the success of this uh >> of this product that you're secretly talking about. She want to get She don't want to get a name on. She don't want to get a name up. She don't want nobody to get it. You just got You got to come to her. That's it. Donna21.com.

[01:01:22]Donna Marie. Is that Did I say that right? Donna21.com.

[01:01:28]Or you can send me an email at hello donnaie21.com. But if you send if you go to the website right at the top, you'll be able to see it says send me a message. Just send me a message. Just put in there GLP1 and I'll know exactly what you want.

[01:01:41]>> Or if you can put a longer message in, it doesn't matter. But yeah, and the thing is and the reason why I'm not mentioning the name because sometimes people will start then making it about the product and it's not about the product. Yes, we have an alternative and there may be other alternatives out there that work. I don't know. I chose this one and I can say that it works. It absolutely works and I love it. I recommend it. And if you are either on a GLP-1 drug or if you were thinking about it and you're like, I don't want the side effects. I don't want to take the chance. This is something to consider.

[01:02:23]Now, I will say this. Here's another thing, and this was actually something that doesn't that happens very rarely.

[01:02:29]There was one woman in a challenge. She said, I'm going to she says, "Should I talk to my doctor?" And if somebody says that to me, I'm always going to say yes, talk to your doctor because I can't take on that liability. So I basically sent her the information about the product that I had chosen cuz she the doctor had just put her on a second brand of GLP1 drugs. And the doctor looked at it. He looked at what I sent her and the doctor said, "You know what? This looks great.

[01:03:01]Why don't we try that instead?" I was completely shocked. So, she was able to come off the GLP1 drug with the permission of her doctor, >> tried this, and it's working perfectly for her.

[01:03:13]>> Now, did any of any of your uh participants in in this this 60-day uh endeavor?

[01:03:22]>> Were any of them on GLP?

[01:03:25]>> Yes.

[01:03:26]>> Oh, they were Were all of them or just some of them?

[01:03:28]>> No, not all. No, there were some of them that were on it but had come off. And then there were some of them that were on it and then when they looked at it, they're like, "You know what? I want to switch." So, they switched. Some of them were already off.

[01:03:42]>> Some and some of them, like I can think of one person in particular where the doctor was trying to get them on a GLP1 and they didn't want to take it, so they decided to do this. So, everybody had their different reasonings for joining.

[01:03:54]>> I see Latana Frasier. She says, "Yes, it works." Robin Wilson is great without side effects and I would recommend it to others. My goodness, she's telling the truth. Yeah, appetite supp. Okay, we real doesn't Yes, the appetite suppression is real and doesn't feel crazy. That's Anette Anetam or Anetam I guess. I don't know.

[01:04:18]I'm sorry for jacking your name up 1189.

[01:04:23]I'm sorry for jacking your name up, but you got a lot of witnesses here.

[01:04:27]testifying about the fact that what you're presenting today, the alternative that you've come up with works and it's natural.

[01:04:36]>> And it's natural.

[01:04:37]>> It's natural.

[01:04:38]>> Which just >> it really works.

[01:04:40]>> Speaks more profoundly to the fact that there are natural alternatives that we can use to live a good healthy life. So much so, and I'm not saying this happens all the time, but when we started coming together on Wellness Week, we had a few people on here, a couple of people who had cancer, and now they don't have cancer after they've made their commitment. They made a covenant commitment and used all health alternative, natural health alternatives, and did away with cancer.

[01:05:14]Beat cancer, shoe cancer away. It's uh y'all, this is real. It's real.

[01:05:19]>> It is. It is. It's real. And it's possible for I'm going to say almost everyone. I'm going to say almost everyone.

[01:05:29]>> It it um what concerns me is the lack of commitment by a lot of people where they're not ready really willing to give up some of the bad habits that we have as humans. the I can't have I can't help it that we have as humans when it comes to food because there's we're used to eating a certain type of food that tastes a certain type of way. It's got sugar in it and it's you know and then they think you know trying to change is going to really not be doable for them. That's not that's not the case. Um I love saying now I'm not eating that.

[01:06:10]>> Yeah.

[01:06:12]>> I'm not eating that. I did that. I don't know how many times I did that on vacation. We on vacation. They bring something to I order something and they bring it to the table. I look at I'm like, I'm not eating that. They need to go get something else. I'm not eating that.

[01:06:27]>> And that's and that's that's the goal.

[01:06:30]That's the goal. And that's what I talk about like when I the book that I wrote uh think like Daniel. It's a boundary.

[01:06:35]These are boundaries that you have set up. And it comes with a covenant decision. I have my boundaries. It's just like, you know what?

[01:06:42]>> No, I'm not. And I do that all the time.

[01:06:44]Nope, not eating that. And end of story.

[01:06:46]End of story. But when it's connected to a covenant with yourself and or with God, you set up your boundaries and it's like, "Nope, I'm not eating that. I don't care how much you put in front of me. I'm not eating it." Right.

[01:06:59]>> I will, like my mom will say a lot of times, she's like, "I I'll fast before I eat that."

[01:07:03]>> Right. Yeah. And fasting is good for you.

[01:07:06]>> Yeah. That's right. you know, I I can understand younger people um not at being not being as concerned with their health because, you know, we don't we when we're younger, we just don't know any better.

[01:07:18]We think we're invincible and, you know, in our 20s and we're ripping and running and going and not sleeping and staying out all night.

[01:07:24]>> We can do that when we're younger. But as I get older, you know, yes, I'm more concerned or not more concerned, I'm I'm more mindful of the fact that I've got more years behind me than I do in front of me. And the years that I have left here while I'm alive, I want to enjoy those years. I I don't want to go through life suffering and being sick and dealing with some of these issues that people start having in their 40s and 50s. That's because of all the stuff we've done in our 20s and 30s and we get in our 40s and we're still doing it.

[01:08:05]Now, like you said, over time, that stuff catches up to us. So, I'm more mindful of being healthy because yeah, I want to enjoy >> however many years I have left.

[01:08:16]Hopefully I got, you know, 25, you know, whatever. Live till I'm 90, whatever.

[01:08:20]That would be great as long as I'm in good health or decent health. But, um, yeah, we we we need to those of us who are, uh, what am I, what am I, baby boomer? Those of us who are baby boomers and a little bit younger >> and older than baby boomers, we need to we need to do a better job of taking care of ourselves. We we really do. We really do. And I know sometimes you don't want to go running or you don't want to go to the gym. But you know what? Eating smarter, eating better, changing your eating habits.

[01:08:52]>> Just you don't it doesn't it's not a physical thing you got to get up and do and it doesn't hurt. You know, you're not sweating. No, that's something that you can do that anybody and everybody can do.

[01:09:03]>> Exactly. And I want to give you just kind of the spiritual support to what you just said in terms of being younger versus being older. See, God knows that too. The Bible says we are fearfully and wonderfully made. And he knows that when we are younger, we're going to make crazy decisions >> with regards to our body and what we eat and we are not going to care.

[01:09:22]>> So he he designed our bodies so that when we're younger, our bodies actually have more protection through our endocrine system. And our endocrine system is the system of our hormones.

[01:09:35]All right? Mhm.

[01:09:36]>> As we get older, our hormones change.

[01:09:41]Our levels of certain hormones begin to decrease. And when that decrease happens, protections, we don't have the same protection. So that's why when we get older, we start feeling it because our hormones are different. God knew that. And also he's going to hold us more accountable when we are older and should be wiser and should be able to make better decisions. But if we don't, we have to deal with the fact that we don't have as much hormonal protection as as during the time when we had when we were younger.

[01:10:16]>> And that's the like spiritual and physical support behind that. And that's what we have to recognize for those of us that are getting older.

[01:10:24]>> Right. Right. Um, but thank God for hormonal protection when we're younger because I did some crazy stuff when I was younger. And uh, >> oh, good God almighty. I wouldn't even dare try to do some of that stuff now.

[01:10:39]Good lord.

[01:10:42]>> Thank God for grace.

[01:10:42]>> Mercul God.

[01:10:43]>> Yeah. Mercy and grace abound.

[01:10:47]>> Abounding.

[01:10:49]>> Yes.

[01:10:49]>> He's a keeper. Oh my gosh. Is he a keeper? I some days I sit and I think stuff will pop up in my mind in my head what some of the things I used to do or some of the things I did in the past and I'm like oh my god what were you doing >> just you're lucky to be alive lucky to be alive just blessed to be alive really just blessed to be alive yeah I was I remember a time when um >> I just let I tried to retire from the Eagles but it didn't work out that way so I ended up with the Washington Redskins and North Turner was the head coach. And the first day of training camp, I'm running around. I'm jumping up and just being real happy. And he's like, "Irvin, what are you doing? What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like that?" I said, "Cuz I ain't supposed to be here, coach.

[01:11:35]>> I ain't supposed to be here. I should have been dead long time ago."

[01:11:39]>> He's like, "He did what you did." He said, "Okay, go ahead."

[01:11:44]I said, "Cuz I'm not supposed to be here. I shouldn't be here. The the what I was doing when I was younger. Yeah, I shouldn't be here. But God is good. God is good.

[01:11:52]>> Amen.

[01:11:54]>> So, um, is that it? You got Do you have something else?

[01:11:57]>> That's all I have.

[01:11:58]>> Really? That's all you have?

[01:11:59]>> That's all I have. I think that was enough. That was 10 people running.

[01:12:04]>> It's it's very informative. And now, if you you've been watching and you've listened to this and you've in taken in this information, now you're responsible for it. Now, you're responsible for it.

[01:12:14]Whether it's for yourself >> or whether it's for someone that you know that may be using these G LP drugs, GLP1 drugs.

[01:12:22]>> Uh let's be mindful of this y'all. This uh you know we Ozepic is very popular.

[01:12:28]They're there stars heroes taking this kind of stuff.

[01:12:32]>> Um >> I don't know if they're aware of it or not. If they were aware of that, the fact that it could cause cancer in your throat, I don't think they would be taking ompic just to lose a few pounds.

[01:12:47]>> I can't I can't imagine. And that's why when I saw that warning, and I also have have to be clear, it's a potential cancer risk because of the tumors in the thyroid. But when it's a black box warning, that is the highest safety warning the FDA puts out. And it also it it it it makes me more forceful with it because I have someone in my life where they were taking a drug that had a blackbox warning. Okay? And I warned them about it >> and they didn't do anything about it and it happened to them. It wasn't the JLP1 drugs. It was another drug, another category, but it happened. And for me to watch that, I'm just like this is absolutely crazy. So whenever I see because when you think about it, there's so many drugs on the market that shouldn't be that don't have an ex FDA blackbox warning.

[01:13:40]>> Right. Right.

[01:13:41]>> You know what I mean?

[01:13:42]>> But when they put a black box warning on it, that to me blackbox warning means it's likely to happen.

[01:13:49]>> That's what it means to me.

[01:13:50]>> Yeah.

[01:13:50]>> When it's a blackbox warning, it's likely going to happen.

[01:13:55]>> And and the problem is cuz then they'll say, "Well, who has it happened to?"

[01:13:59]this drug, these drugs are so new, there are no longterm studies. But it's like, okay, well, let's just watch and wait and see. But who wants to be the guinea pig for that?

[01:14:11]>> Right. Right. Right. OPIC, how how long has OPIC been out? Couple of years.

[01:14:16]>> Um, it's been out, let me see if I have that with me. Like I think the early 2000s that on my slide.

[01:14:25]>> 20 years. Wow.

[01:14:26]>> Yeah. the first one. Okay. Yeah, I don't have it. I don't have that particular note up with me because I do have a a note where it gives the year for all of the drugs, so I don't remember, but it's it's been out a while. And again, when they first came out, it was just for diabetes and then it went to weight loss, and now it's for a whole lot of different things.

[01:14:45]>> Okay. So, I'm thinking, you know, just recently it came out for weight loss, I'm thinking.

[01:14:51]>> So, at first it came out for diabetes.

[01:14:53]Now, we're seeing commercials for weight loss. Okay. Type two. clarify that >> type two, which is completely different than type one.

[01:14:59]>> Wow, man.

[01:15:02]>> But any and also too, I also had one person in the group that actually had type 1 diabetes. And even though the body works a little bit different and the GLP1 will work different whether you're type one or type two, it still gave them better blood sugar control.

[01:15:19]So, just again how the body works and how the the the herbs and things work.

[01:15:24]We got a whole bunch of people watching right now. This is awesome. Just actually awesome. I can't I can't name all of you, but uh listen, thanks for joining us tonight. Uh please >> share, please.
