Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
What's up. It's a us on the side. I'm gandhi
here with my babe, Diamond. How you doing, I'm great?
Are you yeah? Okay? I are you feeling cold?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
But like I was talking to someone earlier about this,
I don't feel bad. My nose is just stuffy and
that's what pisses me.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Okay, maybe it's allergies. It's not cold. I don't know,
but it's it's cold season.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
It is irritating me.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
I'm sorry. You know what I realized yesterday when I
was editing the podcast. I was listening to your voice.
I thought, I really like Diamond's voice. Diamond has a
good voice. You don't use it nearly enough. Well, oh okay, hey,
you don't you have a good voice. What Yeah, my
voice is more high pitched and kind of like. I

(00:48):
can understand why it anyways, people, I totally get it.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
But you have a good voice. No, I hate my voice.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yea, it sounds different in your head, I'm sure, as
it does for all of us.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
When I listen back to the like, I can barely
to the podcast. I scrub through to the parts that
I really want to hear. Oh wow, because I cannot
hear myself.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
First of all, let me thank you for listening to
the podcasts. I like that.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Oh yes, I'm a listener.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
I never go back and listen to it because I
edit it so I know what it sounds like, and
that's it. I'll just let it go there, because I
have really realized that not only do I not specifically
like the sound of my voice, I have a lot
of crutches, and I'm trying to figure out how to
become a better speaker, more streamlined, less fluff, more powerful speaking.
There are a lot of tricks. We were talking about

(01:31):
this actually earlier on the show. So one of the
things is you eliminate the word just, try your hardest
not to say just, because the word just is almost
always unnecessary. So if you were going to say something
like I just don't understand why you would do that,
you take out just I don't understand why you would
do that. It's just a more power huh see. Just

(01:52):
it's a more powerful way to speak. And they say
women do it far more than men do it because
it's almost taking a little step back and trying to
give away a little bit of your power. I just
wish you would do this. I just think that. I
just feel that take out the just it's never important.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Oh m hm, it's.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Gonna be hard.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
I like just I like like like it's a tele Sorry.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Watching I'll tell you what, Watching Love is Blind made
me really try to eliminate the word like as filler
in everything because those people sounded like idiots. No offense
to your cousin. I don't think she did it nearly
as much as everybody else did, but the amount of
and I like, just like, I like, you know, like
I like, I don't like kill me. That was bad.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
I feel like I'm dramatic. I love the drama ad
just in there. I just don't understand, you know.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
I feel like the drama is still there, but I
don't know that the power's there. I want the power
and the drama, both of them. And another thing, instead
of saying and pausing and buying time while you think
of something, you should just pause.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
That was on an episode of The Kardashians a long
time ago. They had a media trainer come in. It's
a very funny episode, but they were basically like, you
all sound dumb. This is what we're gonna do moving forward,
And like Chris Jenner was like implementing stuff. So weeks
later she said, you said, like again it was good.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
And he just said she said like, and she like
said like, yep, it's okay. Everybody does it. Everyone does it.
I just want to I've been doing a lot more
public speaking lately, and I enjoy it, and I hear
other people on the panels with me. Some of the
things I love and I want to take from them.
Other things I think, oh, man, I really don't want
to sound like that, and the likes, the ums, the

(03:41):
literalis basically those are such filler words that don't typically
mean what you want them to mean, and they're just
unnecessary and I want to bam, here's my point. There
you go and move on.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Fine.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
I also read billionaires one of the common threads with them,
aside from the fact that they're typically really intelligent and dark,
dark souled people. If you go through there, and I
just said, if you go through their email, they use
very few words back and forth. I know a lot
of times when we want to reply to an email,

(04:14):
we think of this whole crafted sentence or paragraph of
what you want to say instead of just saying the
thing and moving on. But if you think about our
bosses and the way they email us. It's pretty shortened
to the point, and I've really been trying to do
that too, to just not waste my time and not
waste someone else's time. Yeah, sure, here, let's go things
to think about.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
That is something to think about. What would your reply
to an email be. I'm trying to think of something yes,
not now, later, like something quick like that exactly.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
So a lot of people will ask us about endorsements, Hey,
how do you feel about XYZ? I will ask what's
the fee? What are you expecting me to do? I
wait for that, and then I typically will just say
something just and then I typically will say something like yes, absolutely,
that's it.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
What's your no?

Speaker 1 (05:06):
What would I say no to?

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah? No, no, no, Like how would you say no.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
No, thanks, that's it? Or no, thanks for thinking of me?
Oh yeah, okay cool.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
And a lot of people again, editing these podcasts, you
really hear all of the little crutches and everything that
I do. I say amazing all the time when things
are not in fact amazing, You're like shitting on me.
On you, I'm talking about these not me, timon.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
No, but these are my favorite words amazing.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
You know, do you mean it when you say it? Sometimes?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Okay, most of the time.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
I say it all the time, and I don't mean it.
I'm just saying it to move on to the next thing.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh okay, So if I say it out loud, yes,
I mean it. If I'm saying it, if I'm saying
it via text or something like that, it's probably just
a way to move on to the next topic or
in the conversation. So yeah, I get it.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
I have found so many times in the podcast where
somebody has said something and I say that's amazing and
move on to something else. I did not mean that
was amazing, because it was, in fact not amazing. So
I'm really trying to just be a better speaker. Yeah,
wish me luck on my journey. It ain't easy.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, I'll try with you, but I don't really know.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
No, do what you want to do.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
I'll say, like, like, like, actually, just a.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Little bit, basically, what do you mean? Basically what does
that even mean?

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Just dumping it down?

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, just say the thing. Whatever it makes these words,
use them, then the words. I'm not trying to correct you,
I'm trying to correct me. You should all right, however
you want to operate and don't listen to what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
But I like it.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Thanks. So it's funny we're talking about journeys because that's
what we're going to do this entire podcast on So
I met some people from a company called Your Way Health,
and I say it in the podcast, I'm going to
say it again here. I am partnering with them because
I have a lot of faith in what they're doing
and I'm excited to see what they're doing and the
effects and impacts it has on other people's lives. They

(07:01):
are a health platform that connects you to all kinds
of different things. One of the things is a compound pharmacy,
which are probably gonna hear me mess up in this
a few times, but they are helping people get medicines. Specifically,
what we'll be speaking of is GLP ones, which are
all the weight loss medicines right now to help you

(07:22):
out if your insurance isn't covering it, if you're having
a tough time getting that prescription because of whatever reason,
they're here to help you with that. And this is
not about being skinny, and pretty nobody cares about that.
This is about actual health. I talk about my sister
a little in this episode, and one of the things
I will always say, she's always struggled with her weight,

(07:42):
her numbers. Whenever both of us will go to the doctor,
if it's blood pressure, high cholesterol, whatever it is, hers
are always better than mine. So just because someone looks
one way doesn't necessarily mean that you're all that healthy.
Pay attention to your health. There's a lot happening here, Diamond.
I know you have some questions about this. Oh yeah,
what are your thoughts on the GLP ones? In general?

Speaker 2 (08:03):
They make me nervous as a whole. I see a
lot of people who have been on and off of them.
There are so many different side effects. Everyone is different.
But I think as someone whose weight, whose weight yo Yo's,
I have a lot of questions about how someone can

(08:26):
sustain this weight loss long term. So I think that's
where my questions really stem from.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
I think a lot of people have those questions. I
have those questions. What I find fascinating about all of
this is flash back to twenty twenty COVID took over.
A vaccine came out. People said, I will not take
that vaccine. You will not make me take it. I
don't know what's in that. It's gonna kill us all.

(08:53):
It's gonna make you grow a tail, it's gonna kill
the children, mutate your DNA. And I know this for
a fact because I thowt. Yeah, everybody questioned this thing
that was supposed to be saving our lives. Who's to
say that there haven't been some side effects from it.
I've said this before. I firmly believe some of the
side effects people are experiencing could also be from having
gotten COVID. This weight loss medicine all of a sudden

(09:17):
catches steam. Everybody's talking about it, and people didn't give
two shits about any of the side effects or what
could possibly happen. All of a sudden, it was light
me up like a Christmas tree. Baby, I'm gonna lose
some weight. Don't care. Yeah, it's funny how we all
pick and choose that.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
I love that for them, just no plan, just vibes.
They just they don't care.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
So I'm going to talk to the CEO of your
Way Health. His name's Nicktnapoli. We're going to get to
all of it. We have a lot of questions. We
ask all of our questions and I am encouraging you.
If you have a question, I want to hear from
you about this because this is going to be a journey.
I don't want to lead anybody astray. I want people
to have good results, and I want to get people
the answers that they want and the professionals that they need.

(10:01):
So Diamond, you might need to help me out with this.
How do people leave a talkback for us? Do we
even know?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
So when you listen to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app,
there is a red microphone you just hold down and
ask your question. Wow, I'm so excited.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
I am too. I wonder if we have any we
got sure there's a way to check either way. If
you have questions after all of this, please leave us
a talk back because we want to know. But let's
get right to it. I am here with Nick Napoli,
who is the CEO and founder of a company called
your Way Health and full disclosure before we get into
all of this, I am going to be working with
you guys, So yes, because I'm going to be working

(10:42):
with you. I had a lot of questions about a
lot of things, so I figured let's have you on
my podcast so I can ask you the million questions
are good?

Speaker 3 (10:49):
With that, absolutely, I'm excited.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
So let's start with you. Who are you, how did
you come to do this? And what was your background?

Speaker 3 (10:57):
So when I first started off in college, I thought
I was gonna be an investment banker. I went to
school for finance economics, which is University of Hartford in Connecticut. Okay,
so did it internship my senior year of college with Merrilynch.
I realized absolutely hated it and I wasted the last
four years and then I found medicine. So I found
medicine around two thousand and two. The last twenty two years,

(11:18):
I've been involved in various parts of the medical field,
whether it's sales, distribution, management, training. I really found my
calling with that. I really realized that I liked medicine.
So I decided to start my own company. And that's
when my first company was formed with my partner, Rich Grant,
who was also a partner in Yourbay Health, and we
did medical distribution. So we were just distributing products and

(11:38):
services across different product lines from anywhere from compound pharmacy
products to genetics to basic supplies that you would need.
So we had about six hundred reps nationwide doing that
for us for about ten years.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
That sounds big.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
It worked, It worked well. Yeah, it was very stressful,
especially w everybody's an independent contractor. You cn'tainly know who's
doing what. It was good for a while, but the
one thing that we learned recently is that medical is broken.
So I've seen the front end, the back end. I've
seen insurance, I've seen hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies, and the one
consistent thing we always saw was that it was really

(12:15):
hard for patients to take control of their own medicine.
So in the latter part of twenty twenty three, Rich
myself and other partner Jamie, we're like, all right, how
do we provide a solution to fix some of these problems?
And that's when your Way Help was born. So we
realize that we can't fix medicine, but what we can
do is make it easier for certain things. And you know,

(12:39):
COVID did a lot of things for a lot of people.
One of the things that did for medicine is it
showed that you didn't have to go to the doctor's
office for the majority of dreamings. And I think some
don't quote me in these numbers, but it was something
like seventy percent podcast sweet, seventy percent of routine patient
care does not need to be need to see in person.
Generic stuff like getting a lab test or you know,

(13:00):
if you have a cold, or if you want to
get some kind of medication doesn't require a lab visit.
Like these things don't. They don't need to be seen
by a doctor. You can do it through a zoom,
through a call, or even through an intake form. So
we looked at a lot of the things that we
were trying to develop in the space of bringing back
health care to the individual and giving them back control

(13:20):
how to do things, and we found different scenarios. We
found STDs, We found sexual health, hair loss, anti aging,
and weight loss. Those are the big things surrounding how
to really control your own your own health because you
can take do as you want to do it with
the providers that you're working with. So along the same time,

(13:40):
we were getting phone calls because I also had a
distribution company for a couple of years that we were
selling products everywhere for the brand name products that were
a zempic and zet bound and things like that, and
there was a national shortage and we were getting calls
probably three to four times a day asking for large
quantities of ozebic and we weren't able to get it
because there just wasn't any. But we were realized that
there was a definitive need for people that wanted to

(14:04):
get a weight loss medication that didn't have the ability
to obtain it. So when we've realized that need, we
put together the program that allows patients to go online,
fill it an intake form, meet with the physician, and
have product in their handle less than twenty four hours.
And when we did that, the results were crazy. People
were coming to us left and right because they wanted it,
they needed it, and we were giving them the ability

(14:26):
to take control of themselves.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Okay, so I'm going to have to ask a bunch
of questions about what you've just said. First, explain what
a compound pharmacy is to people who have no idea,
because I honestly didn't really know a lot about compound
pharmacies until I started talking to you guys. So what
is that? How is it different from a regular pharmacy.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
So, a compound pharmacy, what they're designed to do is
to give access to patients that need more flexibility, or
they need a product that's not being able to taint
by the brand names. So a compound pharmacy is able
to make a variation of any FDA approved product that's
either on the shore list or not on the patent list.

(15:02):
What does that mean? Yes, if somebody wants to get
a product like ozepic, ozempic is semi gluetide is the
is the active ingredient in ozempic.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
That's gonna be the main focus of what we're talking
about here today because that is what is hot and
what everyone wants to know about it. Okay, so somebody
wants ocempic, they can't get it from a pharmacy. They
come to you guys, right, say Nick, help me.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
So we're not designed to take people that can get
ozenpic because we always say, if you can get ozempic
three your insurance and you can find a supply for it,
we recommend you always do that because that's what's there for.
But what we realize is that you know, over seventy
percent of patients that one ozempic can't get ozepic because
their insurancey doesn't cover it or the copeys are way
too high. So the compound pharmacy gives a secondary solution

(15:46):
that offers the same active ingredient that's in ozempic called
semi glutide, at a cheaper, more affordable price. And it
gives more flexibility to the patients that we can do
different dosing they can do they can different additives to it,
like editing a B twelve, which helps with some of
the potential side effects that happen. Compound pharmacies exist to

(16:07):
provide access to patients that can't get other products through
normal channels.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Okay, so give me the price differences.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Well, there's a bunch of different levels of co insurances.
Some people pay as little twenty bucks, and we say, listen,
if you can do that all day long, go get
it every day of the week. It's a great off.
We don't want those patients. We want the patients that
can obtain it. So the ones that have no insurance,
they're going to charge over one thousand dollars a month.
Some of the co insurances are in the five hundred
to eight hundred dollars range, and it varies everywhere in between.

(16:34):
Itally it's really insurance specific, okay, but for the most part,
we're looking at the patients that can obtain it because
their insurance will not pay for it. And in those situations,
you know, the patients are gonna be looking at spending
over one thousand dollars out of pocket, where if they
choose to go with a compound version, it's a fraction
of that.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Do you have numbers on that I do for some.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Include specifically it is dose specific, so that the starting
dose is only one nine to nine and it goes
as high as two seventy four per month, depending if
you're at the highest O spots.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Oh, that's the highest is two seventy four.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Yeah, our highest is two seventy four. There is no
added fees, there's no membership fees, there's no doctor fees.
That's all inclusive to everything.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Okay, so let's talk about your doctor.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
We have a cardiologist that's on a medical board. He's
one of our our advisors. Okay, so he advised on
different things. He does not treat patients for us. He
has not see patients and not talked to patients. He's
strictly there from informational point of view for your way
health to make sure that we're out there promoting the
right things and saying the right things and using this
the right way.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
So that was gonna be my question when it comes
to using this the right way, because we know so
many people are kind of abusing these things right now.
So when they get denied by insurance, my first thought is, well,
maybe you don't need it, But then I also know
insurance is kind of really crappy right now, so they
might need it. Are your doctors prescribing this only to
people who are, in their opinion, in need of something
like this, Like it's not just a You're not just

(17:52):
willing nilly giving it to anybody.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Absolutely not. There's a very extensive qualifying protocol that goes
into place. We spent several months working with teams of
physicians to put in a Stanard operating procedure for the
medical Intate form. We partner with a third party tel
Medicine company who has over fifty doctors nationwide license in
forty seven states, so every patient will be paired with

(18:14):
a physician that's licensed in their state. That's the first thing.
The second thing is before a patient even gets to
see a doctor, they have to fill out an extensive
medical history form, just like you would do if you
go to the doctor's office, so it's going to ask
you all kinds of questions about your height, your weight,
what medicines you're currently on, what are your past medical history,
what kind of conditions do you have, and when they
go through that whole checklist is what determines if the

(18:37):
doctor says that you're you're valid or not. For instance,
one of the measures is BMI. If you fill out
our inseake for me your BMI is.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
It a worst It is a terrible It is a
terrible god about it's.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
A terrible guide for how to look at someone's health. Oh,
it doesn't look at height and weight, it doesn't look
at anything else. But it's a measure that the doctors
use to see if you're qualified. So if you come
up with a am I of nineteen, which is like
super skinny, you're not gonna be able to get the
medication there. We're extremely strict about that. If you have
any any kind of contraindication, any kind of of reason

(19:09):
why you shouldn't be getting it, they're not gonna prove
the medication. If you have any kind of situation going
on in your health that requires constant follow up from
a medical doctor, you're not going to get the medication,
So you're only going to get it if you qualify
based on the medical intake form you fill out and
you're able to meet the qualifications followed with the telemesine
doctor as post seeing a doctor in person.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
What if somebody lies on the intake form.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Well, we really can't prevent that. We try to do
everything we can. We have them take selfies, we have
them provide documentation for everything.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
They say, send us a selfie. I love that.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Okay, Well, not only do we do a selfie, we
also do a full body image to back that up. Okay,
Because of someone's lives about their height and the weight,
and they show a picture that doesn't correlate with they're
height in the way, the doctor's gonna have some question.
The doctor will reach out to you and they'll you'll
have a discussion. Okay. I've even seen some as far
as to go, send us the video of you setting
on a scale, show me you with the weight. Because
they want to make.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Sure the newspaper of the day hostage.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Because they want to make sure that everybody is who
they say they are. Everybody their medical history is what
they say it is, and people are only getting the
medication that actually needed.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
So one of the things that I really appreciated when
I was talking to you guys, is you're not in
this to make money, as obviously your prices are indicating.
You guys said you really want to help people who
need help with their health. One of the biggest questions
right now is what are the side effects? So I
know you can't speak to everybody's because you're not a
doctor and you don't have that information, but you what

(20:42):
do we call you? Patient one?

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Client one, patient zero, patient zero, patient zero? With your way?

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Started it with your Way health. You said, I'm gonna
put my money where my mouth is. What did you
take and how has that been going?

Speaker 3 (20:53):
So I started to go on we call it the
weight loss journey. And I started my journey the last
week of March of twenty twenty four, and I started
with some glutide and it was the lowest dose possible,
which is point two five. It's a little tiny amount
in the syringe. And I did that for four weeks.
After about four weeks, I was down about I want
to say, twelve pounds.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
And that's big for me because just kind of going
back into my personal history. I've been struggling with weight
for really my whole life. Not to the sense where
where I was like more bluo obese, but the sense
where I wasn't happy with myself. I was always carrying
extra weight. No matter what I did, I couldn't get
it off. I work out five times a week, I
ate relatively healthy as much as I possibly can, but

(21:34):
no matter what changes I did, I would yo yo.
Nothing was consistent. So for me to lose twelve pounds
in a four week period for me was really really
I was like, oh my god, this is really works.
Then I went on you month two, a month three,
next thing I know, I'm down twenty five pounds. I
was like, holy holy.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
This is crazy.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
That's it. Well, I don't think good for your brain,
I would open that door. So it was it was wild.
And then people were starting to see me. They're like,
I don't understand, what did you do? It was really
like big for me to see this because not only
was I seeing the results, but everything in my closet
was now huge on me. Okay, people are walking up
to me and be like, oh my god, what did
you do? You look so different and I'm like, was
I really that heavy before?

Speaker 1 (22:14):
I was like, oh my.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
God, like it was, but the reality was really working.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
So in what span of time you lost about twenty
five pounds about two months? About two months? Yeah, okay,
people are noticing whole new wardrobe.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Now I get a whole new wardrobe super expensive.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
What were the side effects for you?

Speaker 3 (22:31):
The biggest side effects for me were nausea, a little
bit of constipation in the very beginning.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Only in the beginning, only in the beginning, okay.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
And acid reflux. And for me, there was another side
effect that really only affected me and won't affect other
people too much. It was dizzeyness and the reason why
I was getting business because I have a condition called
manears that also has vertigo attached to it, so it
kind of made that a little bit worse. But what
I realized was that the disneyness was really attributed to
my calorie. I wasn't eating enough food because I was

(23:02):
not hungry at all. It was crazy, Okay, I just
not be hungry. It's it's funny if I backtracked a
little bit before this, my wife and I we walk
our dogs every morning, and before I started this, journey
when we walk the dogs at seven thirty in the morning,
eight o'clock in the morning, I'd be like, hey, yes,
what's her dinner tonight? What's for dinner tomorrow night? You're
like me, I mean, I'm thinking about two, three, four

(23:22):
meals in advance. And she's like, oh my god, already,
Like you're thinking about dinner on Wednesday. It is only Monday.
Food was constantly in my mind all the time since
started taking the shots. Are walksmen really quiet? She's like,
She's like, well, we want to talk about it? Like
why don't want to talk about food anymore? Because I'm
not hungry? So it was just wild how the noise
just got turned off. Okay, it was really was. It
was something that is really hard to explain until you

(23:44):
go through it. But picture someone screaming in your face
all the time about whatever the cod topic is. Then
all of a sudden, you hit a meat button and
it's gone.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
You're going to shut the food voice off that's in
my head constantly telling me to eat food. Yes, I'm
interested in this.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
It is It's wild.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
I actually a few people that I know who are
taking it have said something so m alert to that
that the constant thought of, go get a snack, go
open the fridge of board that goes away, so your
only but but you forgot to eat enough food. So
now how are you making sure that you counter that
with the right amount of calories when you're not that
hungry so you don't want to pass out?

Speaker 3 (24:16):
No, no, no, you have to really listen to your body.
I have to really take a good approach at listening
to what your body is telling you. And in the
very beginning I wasn't doing that. So I was always
like regimended, all right, well at eight o'clock, and mean
to this at twelve o'clock, and meant to this at
five o'clock, I mean to this, And I just ate
something every time because I knew I had to, And
that really helped me because then I was no longer dizzy.

(24:37):
My side effects were decreasing, especially nausea. So when you
start understanding how to play the game with your own body,
that's when it just becomes like natural.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Okay, so you just use a term there that we
should talk about playing a game with your body. That
sounds kind of scary when you think about it, but
you have a team of people who if I have
a question about something, I can reach out to one
hundred of them about whatever it is that's going on
with By the way, I want everyone to know I'm
not telling you to go out and get skinny. This

(25:06):
is about being healthy. One of my former podcast guests,
she's a pathology assistant, and she was telling us how
one of the most damaging things that she sees constantly
when they're doing autopsies is incredibly fatty organs and a
lot of people you don't have to be fat to
have fatty organs. You can be thin and really unhealthy.
This is about taking care of your body. It's not

(25:28):
about just losing weight. It's about a lot more so.
On that note, my sister, which I talk to you
a little bit about this, she has battled her weight
our whole lives, and she works in the medical field.
She's a pediatric nurse practitioner, and one of her biggest
hesitations with all of this was, well, what are the
side effects going to be? And after a while, which
I would like you to tell me also in a minute,
what the side effects are that you have seen other

(25:49):
people sure complaining about for sure? And after we talked
a little she said, you know, the side effects could
be interesting. I will cross that bridge when I come
to it, if I decide to do this. But the
side effects of carrying extra weight your whole life are
actually really damaging and detrimental as well to your organs,
to your skeleton, to your mental health. So it's sort of, well,

(26:10):
what do you want to do? And it is a journey.
It's not just I'm gonna take this injection and that's it.
I'm gonna be fine. You have to keep up with
it on your end as well. It's a change in lifestyle.
But this is going to get you a little bit
of a jump start.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Yes, one hundred percent. Right, If you just inject yourself
with medication once a week and then sit on the
couch for the other twenty three and a half hours
a day.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
You're talking about my life.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
You're not going to have the best results, right. You'll
have some results, but you won't have the best results.
The results really kick in when you change something about
your life. And I'm not saying you need to go
from never go into a gym to go in to
a gym six times a week for an hour a day.
I'm talking about if your exercise level is a two,
make it a three. And also, it's not going to
prevent you from eating bad food. So if you damn it, Nick,

(26:57):
it's gonna make you not eat as much of it. Oh,
I won't prevent you from eating it. It's not like
it's not gonna put up a barrier that won't allow
you to eat cheeseburger. So you get to hear it
just like stops all of a sudden. It's not gonna
do that. It's it's it's not a no. But but
what it does is it makes you fuller faster, and
it slows down your gas trik release so you feel
fuller for longer.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
I tried to eat healthy from Sunday to Thursday every
every week, Like even before this, I always tried Friday
and Saturday was it was the gloves were off. Okay,
So every Friday night we would you know, we'd order
pizza or we get subs, and we'd have drinks and
and I'd find myself just eating from six o'clock until
whatever the night ended. And by the time it was done,

(27:37):
I could have, you know, four piece of pizza, half
a sub, and seven jacks and it was like Okay,
this is normal, right, This is normal, right, normal normal behavior.
After I went on the medicine, I would realize that
after one piece of pizza and maybe like half a
sub and two drinks, I'm like, I'm good. My friend's good.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Like you can feel those two drinks.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
I'm good, as in like I don't want anything else?

Speaker 1 (27:59):
But could what was what was the impact with alcohol
in your medicine, So that that's a whole different thing.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
We can talk about that, because that's actually a really
good conversation to have, and we can parlay into that.
I was just like satisfied, and that was my problem.
Was my brain was never talking to my stomach. So
my eyes would see food and I'd be like, I
want everything. I'm gonna eat my plate. I'm gonna eat
your plate, and by the way, dominic, if you still
aren't even that, I'm gonna eat that too. And I

(28:24):
would just keep eating, and then about an hour later,
I'd feel disgusting. I'd feel like just bloated and just sings.
I'm sure everybody that's listening and in here has felt
that at some point for sure. So what this does
is it cuts that barrier off sooner and That was
the biggest change for me. The second biggest change for

(28:44):
me was the alcohol. I'm not an alcoholic, but I
like to drink. This actually removed a lot of the
want to drink. It was very weird.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
So you know, on like a Saturday or a Sunday
watching football, where I would normally be having drinks, I'd
be like, I'm good, I'll have some water and just
kind of hang out.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Wait, so how do you have fun? Now? Right?

Speaker 3 (29:04):
It's weird?

Speaker 1 (29:05):
My god, this is a fun sucker.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Well, it's funny. You said that because one of our
best friends is on it with us and she calls
it the suck fun out of life shot.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
That's so you should definitely get that as your marketing slogan.
It's like the fun out of life.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yeah, but it just it removes your cravings to do
certain things.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Now, let's say you ignore that. What happens if you
have your seven jacks?

Speaker 3 (29:27):
You no, no, no, it's not It's not like it's
not going to You're not going to feel great. You know,
you'll feel you'll feel more hungover than your experience.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
You have to make sure we clear correct.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
This is what I feel more hungover than normal, I'd
feel more full than normal the next day. You know,
if you eat like McDonald's late at night, how you
feel the next morning, That's how you'd feel. Would you
get drunk or faster? No, because your body tolerance tolerance.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
It's just really hoping we're going to save some money here.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Well you will because once you stop stop drinking as much,
the alcohol will work faster as you move on bene if.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
It's here, Okay, guys, sorry, we have in the waiting room.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Let him and going to admit him now, just letting
you know. Hello, doctor Stable, there is Your senior medical
advisor is a cardiologist named doctor Stable who joined us.
Thank you, by the way. I know you're busy saving
lives right now, so I appreciate your time.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Oh thanks for having us.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
I wanted to ask you some questions that I know
Nick can't answer because he's not a doctor, but you are.
When it comes to some of glue tides and this
compound pharmacy, these medications to lose weight. Can you talk
to us a little bit about some of the benefits
you've seen when it comes to.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Heart health, I think it starts before medicine, recognizing that
obesity having excess fat cells, which are called autipost cells
in your body, contribute to all sorts of bad things
high blood pressure, risk of diabetes, risk of heart attack,
risk of stroke, shortened lifespan. Anything that you can do
to eliminate fat cells and cut body weight has been
shown to cut the risk of all these things. Lower

(30:53):
blood pressure, live longer, better heart health, less arrhythm is,
less heart attacks. And what irule with is taking care
of people who, despite taking their medicine, exercise and eating
right for a variety of either metabolic or genetic reasons,
they just can't. They can't sink it lose the weight.
What I've been most struck by is this class of
medicine's effect at weight loss and people who are already

(31:16):
doing all the right things. And aside from just weight loss,
what we've recently learned from large research trial and then
doing the journal medicine is that patients who have obesity
and heart disease, patients who take some aggucide have less
heart attacks, less strokes, less heart failure. And it has
a lot to do with the loss of the late

(31:37):
and probably a lot to do with the medicine features
of it that we don't quite understand yet, So I've
found it to be very compelling and very beneficial people.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
So when they came to you to be part of this,
was there any hesitation for you since the time that
this has been around, because I know Nick said the
drugs have actually been around for over a decade, but
we're more starting to hear about it right now. Was
there any hesitation to you as a doctor about any
of this?

Speaker 4 (32:01):
So the story started really as a medicine to treat diabetes,
and ultimately this class of medications has been shown to
be beneficial not just for lowering blood sugar, but losing weight,
and the corellary to the weight loss is all the
added benefits to your body. So I anticipate that this
class of medicine is called GLP one therapies or semiglutide,

(32:23):
will get approved by the fd for a broad range
of diseases, not just obesity, not just diabetes in the future,
And that's because of how beneficial is to the heart.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
What about side effects that you've seen negative sideffects, because
I know that's what everybody wants to know about.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
Digestive I've seen in the trials of people who are
on this up to ten to fifteen percent risk of
digestive side effects. They can have gulching, burping, diarrhea, food
and tolerance, and then more rarely there are side effects
of the endocrine system likede effects are digestive. Well, we
generally advise people who have any sort of endocrine diseases

(32:55):
or cancers to not use this class of medications without
real trasition guidance, especially guides on that. But my experience,
the main side effects have been injection site reactions more
commonly digestive.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
And how long do those side effects typically last? As
long as you're on the medicine, is it forever?

Speaker 4 (33:12):
I've seen the vast majority of the side effects result
when the medications have stopped. Seldom situations where people have
long term side effects to digestive motility, but that is
the minority.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
What is digestive motility?

Speaker 4 (33:26):
So basically, when you swallow, okay, when you swallow by
the food, your body will squeeze that food down from
your mouth, down through your throat, down through esophagus into
the stomach, which is where who begins to be broken
down by acids, and all the way out through your
intestines and then it becomes stool. So that process requires
a lot of squeezing, almost like a snake bringing a

(33:49):
piece of food all the way through its body. And
that requires a lot of nerves, a lot of coordinated
from month in the body to achieve that.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Okay, gotcha, you said something about rhythmias. I didn't know
that arrhythmias were something that could actually be controlled by
food and weight loss. That's a thing I had no idea.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Yeah, So I would say one of the most common
arrhythm is, which you could consider to be something called
an irregular heartbeat, is atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is a
disease where someone's heart rate becomes very irregular and erratic
and fast, and they can feel a lot of fluttering
in their chest or palpitations. And we know that in
people who have a lot of extra fat cells are overweight,

(34:29):
those fat cells deposit around the heart muscle and can
be linked and associated with the higher chance of atrial fibrillation.
And in my patients who have that disease, I always
encourage weight loss because it can decrease the frequency of
having that disease.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Let me just tell you I'm sick of every time
you go to the doctor, anything's wrong, They tell you
got to lose weight first, Like, I love that part.
But this is great that this is actually a kickstart
to all of it. As a cardiologist, if you are recommending,
is there one type that you recommend more than the
others or is it individual? You have to go to
your doctor and figure out which one's best.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
Honestly, I think it's a class effect. And the world
I live in right now is very much dictated not
just on my preferences, but the preferences of my patient's
payers or insurance companies. So you have to work with
each patient and each situation. They have to find the
treatment that is most successful to them.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Would you prescribe it to somebody that you love?

Speaker 4 (35:20):
Oh yes, yeah. I believe in these therapies for weight loss,
for sugar, and I anticipate in the coming years more
broader use in my population patients, which is those were practices.
I'll be honest, I'm not someone who reaches for medication
as the first treatment for most people, and I do
want to work to achieve good body mass, good health,

(35:41):
good fitness, good nutrition, and see what benefits patients can
achieve that way first, and then reach for medicine later,
I would reach for nobody until they prove that they
cannot achieve their goals with healthy diet and weight line
and exercise.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
So you're saying, try all the traditional ways first, exercise,
change your diet it. If you cannot achieve what you're
looking for after that, then we turn to these yes.

Speaker 4 (36:05):
Because I really do think that you can achieve so
much with a lot of behavioral changes, diet changes, lifestyle changes.
Those of you who just can't, they can just achieve
a great benefit for medication.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Okay, well, I know you only had a few minutes.
I appreciate your time. Thank you for joining us. I
know you have really important work to do.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
Sor right, have one day, guys.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Thank you, Sarah, go say us some lives.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
Take care, goodbye.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
He's actually in scrubs. He's got it.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Oh he's he's in full case mode right now, had
like ten cases today until I've been around doctors for
twenty years. Yeah, he's also one of the best doctors
I've ever encountered. And I really mean that he is
a He is a very very good doctor.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
So far, all of this seems like a magic pill, right,
I know, it's not a pill. I know it's an injection,
but it does seem very magical, And whenever I see
something that seems magical, I think, hmm, I don't know
if I buy that.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
More like a cheat code. Okay, because that's what it is.
It's it's it's giving you, it's giving your body the
ability to obtain results when everything else is found. So
when the biggest thing for me was when I started
the injections, my mind changed. So when my mind changed,
I was able to now have the willpower to do
things that I wasn't able to do before.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Which one you think came first? Do you think you
lost the weight and then your mind changed because you
were like, oh this feels good, I look good. I'm
gonna keep going. Or do you think your mind changed
first and then it enabled you to lose the weight.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
My mind changed first, okay, because after about a week
and a half of taking the medication, I was like,
I don't understand, I'm not hungry. And then I took
more of a of a disciplined approach to really listen
to my body and have the results I had. Okay,
I mean, here, look, I'm gonna say.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Something and well, we're gonna get before and after pictures.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
Yeah, say all right, hold on, we're phone, we're sliding
a phone.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Let's see this. Get out of here. I know, right,
that's you.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
That is me. It doesn't look like me.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
It doesn't look like you. No, wow, Nick, Yeah, we
should definitely here, Donald look at this.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
So on the website there is a few of them,
so you can scroll through. Oh wow, that was here.
Oh my goodness. So you guys can't see her face,
but Diamond just fell to the floor and dropped the phone.
Oh that is definitely a confidence killer. Holy Corral.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
That should be a confidence booster.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
Yeah, but like that was that was me for so
many years.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
I'm just listen.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
It's a big difference.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Okay, So your total weight losses how much.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
So my heaviest that I've ever been was two thirty
six and I'm one ninety seven right now. Wow, I
can certainly eat better. Like last night, I had ice
cream and I was like, oh, why am I doing this?

Speaker 1 (38:22):
And I thought it's crazy. You don't want to be skinny.
You don't want to be that guy that people off
by and they're like, oh see that guy sick.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
Oh yeah, no, I'm not quite there yet I have another,
like another ten to fifteen pounds ago. Then I'm done. Okay,
but there's there's some other results on here too. If
you look on this thing, I.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Don't want to swipe too far because I want to
be no, no, no, this is this on the website. Okay, quick, wait,
give us the website right now so people can go look.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
It's your Way Health dot com. It's your Way Health
dot com. So click the arrow you can see that.
So those are real people, are real results. We don't
really believe in posting other people's results. We want people
from our website and our program with their own results.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
Oh my goodness, these results are incredible.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
They're they're real. So Diamond again, but she's gonna start
laughing at me. She said, there some more picture of me.
But I was like, I can't take that abuse.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
The one thing we will get from Diamond is the
truth always.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
So yeah, he doesn't say it, you can see it.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
So there's her face, her face, all the things. How
long have you been on it? You said it you
started in March.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
I started March on it now now it forever. I'm
gonna be on it for a while because even when
I even when I reached my optim weight loss, I'm
going to scale back down and a lot of maintenance, okay.
But it's also important to know there are two different
versions of this. There's semi glutide and there's also tepetide
that's a different variation of the same product. I actually
switched midway to see which one worked better.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
For me and which one was better for you.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
For me, it was some glutide, Okay. So when when
people come on their their GLP one journey, they're gonna
they're gonna have a choice. Do you want to go
with epetide, you want to go with something glutide. One
of the most common questions we have is which one
should I do right? And and it's such a loaded
question because the answer is we don't really know. We
can all only say what the studies show, and we
can only say what we've seen with our patients, and

(40:05):
we can offer all the different solutions and let you
make a choice, and that goes into doing healthier way.
We want you to be able to take control of
what you want to do with your own health. But
we have about fifty to fifty people on tranzepetide versus
semi glutide.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Right now, what makes someone switch from one to the other.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
Lack of results, plateauing side effects. So semi glutide is
the active ingredient. It is shown to have weight loss.
It has side effects that are not that we've seen
as nausea diary. It just like everything doctor Sable said.
It works on one GLP one hormone, So there's hormones
that go from your body your brain that say you're hungry,
You're not hungry, eat this, don't eat this. Trans Epatite
works on two, so there's two hormones that it works

(40:54):
on that says, don't eat this, you're full.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Like sound's a little stronger study.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
Show it works a little bit better with waight loss specifically,
and also what we've seen is that there's less side effects.
People aren't getting the GI track scenarios that doctor sab
what was talking about with tepid as frequently. It's more
expensive though, Okay, so the price is about one hundred
dollars more for to zeppatide than it is for some gluetide.
So we have to be conscious of people's wallet as

(41:19):
well as what they want to do.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
And you guys offer both of these.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can make the request to whichever
one you want, and when you have your doctor consultation,
they will say, yeah, you're good to go with this one.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
All right. So my last question to you is we
talked about not calling these the generic version. Why is
that and what is the difference.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
It is the same active ingredient, So the semi gluetide
product that's in the brand name is the same product
that's in the compound. So it's not a generic form.
It's the same form of active ingredient. It just made
it a little differently at a compound pharmacy. So the
brand name ones, they have a certain delivery method. They
are are just the just the product by itself. There's

(41:59):
no other additives to it. It's uh, it's delivered in
a single injection pen. I believe they have to go
through all these different rules to get the everything done
like that. For the compounded versions, you're simply taking the
active ingredient and you're compounding it with a additive. We
use B twelve as the additive because it helps some

(42:19):
of the potential side effects and we're land in the
patient's self administer so you would get a vile with syringes.
You'd have to withdraw from from the vile and self inject,
just like you would like a diabetes medication. So that's
the major difference. It's not a generic, it's the same
active ingredient, just made in a compound pharmacy.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
So you can't just sell the the ingredient without compounding
it with something.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
Else because the ingredient's powder. Oh, so you have to
mix it. So the act of compounding and not object it,
I don't think so that would be weird.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
That would be great, actually, I.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
Mean, if you want to try it, we should video
and see what happens. Probably wouldn't do that.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
I don't mind if somebody else injects me with something,
but doing it to myself, I don't know if I
can ever bring myself.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
To We have several patients that are like, oh, my
husband's injecting me or my wife's injected me, because they
don't want to do it to themselves.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
I wouldn't trust my boyfriend to do it either.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Hell no, you don't.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
I enjoy that a little too much.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
You touch on something before. People are scared of needles
and there is an oral tablet version of these products.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
Really, there is speaking my language here now we're talking.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
No.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
The problem is we've seen that they don't work as well. Oh,
because well, what happens is when you take an oral
version of medication, you lose a certain percent of the
medication in your digestive track. Okay, the acid kills off medication.
When you inject it, you get one hundred percent of
the medication go in your body.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
So can you just make the pill bigger?

Speaker 3 (43:37):
I mean, it's not being bigger, it's it's it's you
have to more more potent that's in your in your
in your in your system.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
I know that I'm going to get a ton of
feedback of people asking what are you doing with them?
So what I'm doing with them is I'm talking about them,
and I'm promoting them, and I am telling you that
if you're on a health journey and you're having a
struggle with it, there are ways that you can go
and take care of it outside of your insurance and
your pharmacy that may turn you down and say sorry,
it's going to cost you a thousand dollars a month.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
Right, this is the way to do it.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
With your Way Health. You are Way Way Health dot
com correct. Okay, correct, So tell me why people would
come to you versus another compound pharmacy.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
So let me let me be clear about something, Verst.
We're not a compound pharmacy.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
You're not.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
We're not a compound but I would call you that
the whole time. I know, well, I I was gonna
let you is self correct, but you didn't do It's okay.
So you are the compound pharmacy that we use out
of Utah. A compound pharmacy. Their only goal is to
is to make the compound ship man to patients.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
So everything that you submit to us is patients specific
mail directly to your house. So what your way health is.
It's an infrastructure that allows a patient to be paired
with a physician and then with a pharmacy to get
their product. So we are not the physicians. We don't
own the physicians. We're not the pharmacy. We don't own
the pharmacy. We are simply the bridge that connects everything together.
And the reason why people utilize us over over other

(44:57):
people in the industry, it's our service. When we start
at this company, we spent about three or four months
looking at all the competitors. We were looking at everything
that they did right and what they did wrong, and
what we said was, we want to do everything they're
doing right, and we want to do nothing that they're
doing wrong. And we put together a program where patients
are getting their their medications fast. So if you were

(45:18):
to order right now, you'd likely get your medicine tomorrow
by ten o'clock.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
But you're not going to order right now because you
have to go through the right steps to be able
to do that.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
Secondly is our service. When you call into our company,
you're going to get somebody that's in our office in
your jersey. They're going to talk with the whole process.
They're going to walk you through any questions you potentially
had you had asked before you on your journey. Do
you have access to people that can help you. That's
what we do. So, whether it's tech's email phone, you
can get access to somebody at all times for any
question you want. Our team can handle just about any

(45:47):
question that's thrown at them with regards to their products,
anything process, company specific. We can answer on the spot.
Anything medical driven. We connect you with the tim Meston
provider again to answer the questions you have full access
to the tele Memesa provider whenever you need it for
as long as you're on the journey with us. It
doesn't matter if it's a hundred questions or one question.
You could ask as many things as you want.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
Well, you're very it's very accessible. Because that's an extremely
accessive right now too. You can't really get ahold of them.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
We do text, and we do email, and we do
phone any way you want to eat, you want to get.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
A hold of us.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Okay, So Diamond, after listening to all of this, yes,
if you come to microphone, hello, oh you guys zapped.
I hope that picked up.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
That was because you laughed at my before picture. You
got you got gotten.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
I'll take it.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
Yeah, I mean I was like shocked, shocked.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yeah, Hey, that's the that's the that's the reaction you want,
isn't it.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Well it is.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
And and my partners always say I'm I'm the best
walking billboard for our company because my transition's pretty good.
So I was at the gym on literally on Saturday morning,
and one of my friends from the gym, who I
haven't seen in a few months, He's like, dude, you
look great. Well, what are you doing? I guess your
company's working that night? Him and a friend ordered hey
because they went home they're like, they're like, I want

(46:59):
that diamond.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
What are your questions?

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Okay, okay, I have a few, but this is my
main one because you pretty much have answered everything else.
I've struggled with my weight too. I yo yo a lot,
but I hate how skinny I look when I lose
a certain amount of weight. And so if I was
doing this right, like, could I just stop cold turkey?

Speaker 4 (47:20):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (47:21):
So there is there is no perfect I'm looking at
you question now.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
So so all right, there's a question that is can
I do it? And there's a question is what will happen?

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Right?

Speaker 3 (47:31):
So that's answer them both. Yes, you can do it.
There's there's no harm to your body to stop taking it.
If you stop the next day, you're not gonna go
with a withdrawl. You're not gonna have any issues. You're
not gonna it'll be a nothing effect. What will happen
is that food noise will start to creep back in.
So there's a very high rate of weight gain after
you drop off, and that's why it's so important to

(47:51):
change your lifestyle as you go on the journey. So
if you're on this journey for four months, you should
really take the time to change your lifestyle, change your
eating habits, to work out more like change the food
that's going in so you have better results. Then when
you stop, hopefully your mind is trained to carry on
the same good effects.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Have you seen people who have had to change the
dosage when they stopped and then restarted.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
Yeah, so when somebody is off it for over sixty days,
there's a lot of buzz right now going on about
how do you restart them? And a lot of times
the doctors will start them back at a lower dose
to prevent a shock of a high dose creating side effects.
It's all about maaging side effects. And we've had people
that have called in that have taken too much in

(48:38):
their first injection just because it's by accident there and
they're The good news is it doesn't do any like
like real harm. The side effects are just amplified, so
you know, you might you might be seriously nauseous, you
might have a lot of diarrhea, you might throw up
because you took too much. So we try at all
costs to prevent that. So when you go off it
and you go back on it, it's important to do
a little bit of a titration back up again.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Okay, just terrified, you're terrified?

Speaker 3 (49:01):
What are you scared of? Just yeah it?

Speaker 2 (49:05):
No no, no, no, no, no, I know, but just
this conversation, like my palms are sweating right. Number one
the needle, like injecting yourself. And I know you said,
you know a lot of people have other people who
do it for them. I have a lot of people
that I know and my family friends who have done this,
and I'm like, how do you guys inject yourself? Is
scares the crap out of me?

Speaker 3 (49:25):
Right, And then just you're not alone about that?

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Yeah, I'm with you if they can inject each other.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
So we have injection parties.

Speaker 4 (49:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
So we had one customer of ours who's also a
friend of mine, and for three months he was like,
oh dude, I can't do needles. I'm scared. I'm a
big baby, And I'm like, just try it. If you
don't like it, just stop. So he did the first one.
He was like, that was nothing.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
How big is his needle? It's a little any bitty
one that I see.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
It's a it's a it's a it's an insult needle.
So it's very small. They changed it's about a quarter
of an inch. It's really really small. It's very thin.
I don't even feel it when it goes in anymore.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
Do you Where do you am?

Speaker 2 (50:03):
I am?

Speaker 3 (50:03):
I belly, my stomach, So you give a little pinch.
When you give a little pinch to your stomach, your
pain steptors are focusing on the pinch, so when it
goes into the middle part, you don't even feel it.

Speaker 4 (50:14):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
Another question, So you said that people who decide to
take the oral like the pill instead. Is there a
different timetable for those people?

Speaker 3 (50:24):
You take that every day, so it would be a
pill every single day.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Is it like birth control you have to take it
at the same time every day or that could be.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
A mon To be honest, we don't. We don't sell
the oral version because it hasn't shown to work as well, okay,
just because of the of the body breaking down the
active ingredient before it gets into the where it needs
to get to.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
So a lot of other companies do do sell it,
but we haven't seen it to be really that beneficial.
So we've kind of been slow playing offering it just
because we don't want people to waste some money. And
if we know it's not going to work, how can
I get behind some of that I know is not
gonna work?

Speaker 2 (51:01):
Okay, last question, when people are getting off of it,
is it normal for you guys to like dose them
out or is it like do you wean them off
of it? Or are they just expected We don't.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
We don't really do anything. We let the patient decide
how they want to continue their journey. So we have
a lot of patients that that are like, all right,
well I'm taking one milligram now, I want to I
want to space out Mine Jackson's, I want to go
to two point five. I'm gonna do it every ten days.
I'm gonna do every every once a month. Because you can,
you have the flexibility to change how you take it.
What I always tell people is do what's working for you,

(51:34):
right if if it's if we don't want everyone to
go to the highest dose, we want you to go
to the dose that works. So if the dose of
one milligram for someone that works for you, stand that
for as long as you want, as long as you're
you're losing weight or maintaining your balance of what you
want to be at. Stay there. If you feel so,
you can go back down, go down. If he feels
you need to go up, then go up. We give
the flexibility every single month to change your dosing, but

(51:57):
before you.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
Do that, you would let you encourage somebody to talk
to one of physicians about it.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
Not only encourage, it's manitoring. Okay, So every every four
weeks you have what's called our follow up questionnaire that's
sent to you. When the followup questionaire goes to you
and asks a bunch of questions, how are you doing?
What was your starting weight? What's your weight now? Are
you seeing any side effects? What do you want to
do for your extra we do you want to go
up and doose down to stay the same? Do you
want to change products? We ask all the questions. Has
anything change in your medical history? Because if you now

(52:22):
have a new condition, we need to know about it.
So once that is all answered, it goes over the
doctor for approval. We will not ship out medication until
that's felt out. Some people stop call Turkey and they
come back three months later. Some people are like, you
know what I'm going to move back down, go for
a couple months, and then go off. And some people
just don't go off.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
You know what I'm looking at the whole time you've
been talking. Because one of the side effects that we
hear about all the time that I think terrifies a
lot of women, specifically a zombic face. You don't have it,
Oh you don't. I'm nervous about that same like I
feel like my saving grace is I have a very
chubby face, so it keeps the wrinkles out because they
chubb in there. Yeah, so then if it goes away,
I'm like, oh my god, am I gonna look old?
Have you a lot of this?

Speaker 3 (53:00):
I don't see every patient, obviously, I haven't anybody complained
about it. Okay, not a single person has called to
complain about that. But it doesn't mean it hasn't happened.
I've seen it happen before, and like other people's results, yeah,
it didn't happen to me, and it hasn't happened to
people that I've seen.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Nothing ever happens to men.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
Man, Oh what happens? Oh what happens? It just didn't
happen to me, Luckily, I think, And again, I'm just
speaking off of my experience. When the weight loss is
gradual as opposed to having like massive weight loss like
thirty pounds and in a week and a half, that's
when those things started to happen.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
When you lose a gradually lost thirty pounds a week
and a half, are they alive?

Speaker 2 (53:38):
No?

Speaker 3 (53:38):
Probably not? Okay, was fair enough, all right, none of
my ovasions. The most we ever had was somebody lost
eleven pounds one week the first week. That's a lot
and that was our my business partner.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Oh Jamie, Yeah, Oh my goodness. Okay, I mean, listen,
that sounds dreaming and everything, But I just I think
the message that we're taking away from all of this
is that it will absolutely help you. It is a journey.
It's not just going to be inject this and bam,
the next day you're skinny and beautiful and healthy. None
of those things. You have to work on it. You're
going to have to work on it for a while.
It's an all encompassing lifestyle change.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
It is it is. You have to take the responsibility
to change other aspects of your life on top of
just injecting yourself. To that point, we realize that as
a company also, so we're in the process of developing
other things that we could offer to patience that can
help them on this journey as well. One of the
things that is going to be called your Coach, So
we're going to give you access to a full health

(54:32):
and wellness coach real time. At any point you need
to discuss a higher level of support outside of just
our team, and it's going to be licensed professionals that
can talk about other things. They can talk about nutrition,
they can talk about exercise, I can talk about a
lot of other factors that go into what you need
to do. We're also going to be launching other product
lines that complement it, such as hair loss, or sexual
health or anti aging. We want to give everybody compliments

(54:55):
to just not not just lose weight. Want to be
an all encompassing company.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
So if people want to get it, tell them how
they can reach out to you guys right now, set
up an appointment with a physician and so get some results.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
It's two is. You can call us at eight eight
eight twenty four your Way okay, or you can go
online to your Way Health dot com. That's your Way
Health dot com.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
I'll post all of this because I'm sure people listening
in the car or whatever are not necessarily going to
be able to write it down. If people are listening
to this podcast and they reach out to you and
they want to do it, can we reward them for
having gotten it from here?

Speaker 3 (55:28):
Yes, and reaching out? Okay, yes, we carry So we're
going to give a special discount to all of your listeners. Okay,
We're gonna give them ten percent off every month for
as long as they're with us, for any product they
ever want.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
Okay, can I can I bargain with you on something here? Sure? Okay.
So one of the things that we have noticed, ten
percent off is great, we love it. We'll take it.
Who's not going to take any discount? Typically, like a
fifteen percent off moves the needle a little bit more.
So how about I already saw maybe I'm overstepping here,
but maybe for the first month if you do it
this month, can you give people like fifteen percent off?

Speaker 3 (56:01):
Yeah? Yeah, we love that, So we'll do We'll do
fifteen percent off first month, ten percent off every month
there after.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
Okay, and how do you know that they came from
this podcast?

Speaker 3 (56:11):
How are we going for We're going to give them
a code specific to you. Okay, So we're going to
generate a code that they can utilize every time they
go in there. They go, they go to the checkout,
they put in the promo code. We're going to call
it join.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
Gandhi Join gandhi.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Okay, and we always have we have to make sure
that we spell that correctly, all right, So join is easy.

Speaker 3 (56:28):
Yep, we'll do all lowercase join gandhi j O I
N gandhi g A n dhi.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
If you spell it incorrectly, you're not going to get
your dy not going to get it.

Speaker 3 (56:38):
But if if you do it it correctly, just reach
out to us and we'll make sure it gets on right.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Okay, great. Well, I know that this is something my
sister has been talking about, and I think she's getting
close to taking that step to do it. I want
to try it with her. Of course, I'm going to
consult a physician and all that before I do it
for this, but I think this will be a good,
a good journey. I know Diamond is kind of interested.
Her cell phonn't know's she's nodding her head.

Speaker 3 (57:03):
So to that point, here's what we want to do.
We I got into this business to help people. That
that's first and foremost. We want people to go on
these journeys that we want them to have positive experience.
We want them to see how good this thing really is.
So if you want this and your sister want this,
you told me your sister's story. Yes, it really resonated
with me. Yes, And when something resonates with me, I

(57:25):
tend to just do more than I probably should. But
what we're going to do is we're going to give
you your product for free. We're going to give your
sister her product for free out of here, and we're
going to give Diamond her product for free.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
Why, oh my god, step into the new year like people.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
Even though Diamond completely pre picture shame made, gonna still
gonna give her this product for free. We want you,
guys to go on this journey. We want you to
see the benefits of it. We want you to because
the best way to really get the word out is
to see how it does for yourself. When when you
see how how how much your body reacts and how
good it does, that's when it really starts to spread

(58:02):
the word. And that's what we want. We want the
word spread. I told people all the time. We're the
best movie never seen. We just want a movie to
be seen.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
First of all, thank you so much, and you did mention.
I talked to you a little bit about my sister,
so I'll say it here and she'll probably not love
that I'm sharing this with everybody. But she has battled
her weight her whole life, and she's probably the best
human being I've ever met in my entire life. Yes,
I'm a little biased, but if you met her, I
promise you would think the same things. She spends her
time just saving the lives of little children and being

(58:31):
a wonderful human being. She's been there for me through everything.
And you know, we see these transformation pictures and we've
seen them forever, whether it's before and after gastric sleeves
or a gastric bypass. For you, the picture that you
showed Diamond, and she was like, what, I'm still I.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
Think I think she has a cut in her head
because she fell over and hit her head on the table.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Was shocking.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
But you know, you know you're gonna get a lot
of ask for that that picture. Want to see there now,
it's like embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
Hey, listen, if you see some of the pictures are
company post of us. Don't worry. That's great, But you know,
we've seen these transformations of people and it's almost like
this one person was living inside this other person. And
my sister has said before, I just sometimes wonder who
is that person living inside me? And it's been a
really tough battle for her her whole life, for a

(59:17):
lot of different reasons, to make this change. And I
would love to achieve what she wants to. Not be
a supermodel, it's never been about that, but just get
a chance to see, like, hey, who are we inside here?
And can I be more healthy? Can I feel better?
Can I be more active and go around and do
things that I wanted to do? That would be amazing.
And I did a really good job. And I didn't

(59:39):
cry because I know when I was talking to you,
I cried.

Speaker 3 (59:41):
You did a little bit. He did a little bit.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
So I mean, and that's the goal, Like as you
to make people cry, yes, hell out of here, that's.

Speaker 3 (59:47):
True, that too, But the goal is to get people
to alter their lifestyle a little bit so they can
do more things. Yeah, as you lose moreway, you're able
to do more things. Even for me when I'm in
the gym. I'm able to do more things now than
I will six months ago because I less, I'm caring
less weight. Yeah, and you said before you want to
see what you know the person living inside of your
old body was well, we learned that my old self

(01:00:08):
ate my new self. So that's how that's how he looked.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
Listen, don't let Diamond get to you. She's just an age.

Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
Oh she's already got to be. That ship sailed about
a half hour ago.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Good John, Diamond, you insulted our guests.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Here we go. That's okay. I like insults.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Nick, thank you so much. I really appreciate you coming
and answering all of these questions. I am excited to
see how this ends.

Speaker 3 (01:00:30):
Up going hit me too.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
And yeah, I mean, if you have any questions, you
can reach out on your way health dot com. Yep,
you are w a y health dot com. You can
slide into my DMS. We will make sure that you
can get a hold of whoever you need to get
a hold of so that you feel confident going forward
with all of this. But other than that, I think
this is great. I think we probably answered every question
that people have about this over the span of this podcast,

(01:00:51):
and if you have more, hit us up and let
us know.

Speaker 3 (01:00:53):
Yeah, listen, I'm happy to do this. Thank you very
much for coming online and the opportunity here. If if
more questions come up and we need to revisit, let's
do it. I'm accessible to you, guys. I want this
to help you, help your listeners and help your sister.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
I love that. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Of course.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
By the way, I'm going to test your accessibility because
if I wanted you to come on the podcast again,
we'll see if you actually come back.

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
Of course I will, okay, as long as we give
Diamond a list of things she can't say.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
Thank you so much, thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
I appreciate time.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
All right, Diamond, what are your thoughts now that before
and after photo.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
You crushed him, You crushed port it And by the way,
he's a good looking guy.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
Yeah, so I feel like you really really.

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
Got on there.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
Sorry Nick, but I shocked. Shocked isn't even the word
to use. I feel like it's more of like befuddled.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
How a whole new man through GLP ones and he
is patience here of his own company. I appreciate that. Actually,
I really like when someone says, hey, Not only am
I trying to sell you this, I am actually doing
it myself. So don't just think this is snake oil stuff,
which is why I think I have to check this
out and give it a try. I certainly could do

(01:02:16):
better with exercising and eating well, so let's give that
a shot. If it doesn't work, this is a kickstart,
so we'll see how it goes.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
I'm excited, but I'm also nervous.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
Okay, you don't have to do anything you don't want it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
I'm just like the whole like pinching my stomach and
doing the need like whoa, babes. I'm nervous about that.
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
I wish it was truly the pill and not Yeah,

But anyway, Okay, leave us a talk back if you
want to. It's a red microphone button if you're listening
in the iHeartRadio app, and if you're not, go get
the iHeartRadio app so that you can leave us a
talk back. And I think we're gonna start weaving these

a little bit on X. I don't do anything on X,
but I saw this video about what a creepy was
just in general, and I just keep reposting it on
X waiting to see when he takes my page down.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Yeah, he's definitely going to take that page.

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
Of course, he's not about free speech there, exactly what
a loser.

Speaker 3 (01:03:25):
So we're doing it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
Baby. You can follow me on X. I'm only retweeting
one video at Baby Hot Sauce and until they say
