Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Fitsy and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
This was always going to happen because the popularity of
ozeen Pick has taken off.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
We know that.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I mean when sixty minutes are doing stories on it.
I think Channel seven even did a whole special on
it as well, and Hollywood stars.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Are coming out endorsing a zen pick.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It takes off, not not cheap, a lot of people
using it.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Now, this is what happens when something.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Is popular like that, but people come become addicted to
it and then you have problems. So they're talking at
the moment Scott Dizzick, who which kardash In was?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
He married to.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Courtney and I'm not Courtney Courtney Courtney.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
So he has finally sidled. He's handed himself in.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
He is seeking help for his ozempic use after he
has left his friends and.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Family shocked by his appearance.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
He looks gaunt, He has large black bags under his eyes.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
He doesn't look healthy.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Because that's sunk sunken eye, look, doesn't he because faces
at school?
Speaker 4 (01:04):
I think that photo we're looking at is a bit doctor.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
I would assume it was is the perfect photo for
the story. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Thirteen twenty fourteen. Do you know something? Do you know
someone that this is happening to a made of mine?
His wife.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
He was actually really down talking to me about this
the other day, but he said it fits to the
point now where she will not come to the restaurant
with me because she doesn't eat anything. And the worst
thing about it is, I'm glad that now that she's
got control of her eating, but.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
It's she's she's sick, she's.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Nauseous, and she has that feeling and then that affects
her mood.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
But she's now become addicted to it.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Now, are you addicted to the drug itself or are
you addicted to the effects.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Of the drug.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Like skinny you look, yeah, the feeling skinny. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
In a similar way to perhaps you're you're addicted to
going to the human working out and you see some
results and then you cannot not go to the gym,
progress or the solarium. In the old days, it couldn't
get keep people out of the solarium.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
The thing that the thing that gets me down about
it is that we remember we've always reacted to our
body in the way that we feel, so whenever you
feel nauseous or you feel sick in the stomach, you
instantly know there's something wrong.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
It's trying to tell you something.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
My body's trying to tell me something, and it's the
worst feeling ever. Well, you know, then you sit down
and you try to you know, you drink water and
you try to get through that.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
But to feel like that all the time. I think
you're right, Kate.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
People are becoming addicted or acclimatizing to that feeling of
nausea nausea and they can get their body through it.
And now that's become the norm for them. They're they're
looking better.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
In the mirror, but now it's going on their eyes.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
They're looking better in the mirror.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Do you know. It's kind of the conversation when thozepics
sort have changed, hasn't it, Because it's gone from hey,
how good is this wonder drug apparently diabetics had it,
to oh my god, this has actually filtered its way
into general society, and then there was chat about yes,
the side effects where you feel nauseous, and also it's
coming out at the other end, and now it's like
we don't know much about this long term, no, well.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Anything that you take that is going to affect your metabolism.
If you're not fueling your body correctly, there are long
term effects not only on your physical health, but your
mental health.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Well, remember I told you the other day. I went
to the doctor and I said I want to have
a heart check up, and he gave me a referral
to the cardiologist. And on the referral it said his
weight remains an issue talking about me. What then followed
in that conversation the doctor was they recommended a possible
drug to help with weight loss. Don't give me that crap.
(03:50):
I don't need that.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, I agree, some.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
People you do need it. I don't think I need it.
You just jump in and go.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You're not that big, still carry a few extra but
also have a very healthy lifestyle and still feel great
about yourself.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
That's the thing. And if I was ever lost in
the humalayas these stores of fat around my.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Midwhile, mate, there'd be some great rum steaks coming off
your clacke.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
And so you can come in handy. I don't think wherever.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
You are in your life and well, whatever age you are,
if you if you are having if you're kind of
consistent around health, and exercise, and you everything is about moderation.
Then I think your body naturally will find where it
sits in its most healthy state.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Okay, can we please?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I want to ask, are you worried about a friend?
Are you someone who's using a zempig and you're feeling
that you have? You are becoming addicted to it, you
need it all the time. Do you think you can
wean yourself off it? Cloudy has given us a girl
from Riveston. Tell us about your experience with it, Cloudier.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I think it's a bit of both positive and negative.
I can see why people get addicted to it because
when you do go on, you can lose weight so quickly.
But also I've seen the scariest side of the side
effect as well, because I go on it now I
get offered because I do think from it, and I
do feel quite sick feet.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Claudia, you've been on it, you had rapid weight lost.
How many kilos did you lose?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I'm twenty five kilos?
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Wow? Over watched what time period?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Nearly a year? But listened a year?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Okay, and you went off for a while, did you yep?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
And now I went back on it again.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
And why did you go back on did the weight,
did the weight come back?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
The weight didn't come back on, but you weren't losing
as quickly as you like. So you go and you think,
oh gosh, I can't do without Othmpics on and get
back on it again because I want that look like,
oh wow, I am losing right quite quickly.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So you've fainted a couple of times, Claire, you are
you worried?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Do you feel healthy? Or are there moments where the
nausey is just too much for you?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
It?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Sometimes it does get scary because you do get quite
nauseous and quite you feel quite ill, and then you go,
why are you doing this to yourself? And then you think, oh,
because there is somewhat health ben as you are losing weight.
You can get upload my blood pressure medication because of it,
and you think of the positive and then you go,
but it's it really worth long term?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
What does your day on a plate look like? Are
you eating much at all?
Speaker 6 (06:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I'll have a morning like a meal placement shake for breakfast,
some grapes at lunch, and then a bit of steak
and dinner. That's about all.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Really not much.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
I'm hungry.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Sarah and Willoughby.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
All right, tell us about h you're a pet, so
can you tell us about some of your clients?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
How's that going? Sair?
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Yeah, so I think, but it's a bit, it's a
bit up and down. So I've got clients who have
used it because it's been advised by their medical team.
And I'll speak of one client specifically because I'm know
that she doesn't mind me sharing her story. She is
pcos she's insulin resistance and not diabetic. But also I
(07:08):
can like when you think about our health as an overall,
I guess in the whole approach is you know, diet, exercise,
all those sort of things, and so her body was
basically resisting against all those things. So that she's tried
the ozepic And I watched her literally call because my
gym that I own is upstairs, so she would literally
(07:32):
call her way up the stairs with little energy to
try to get through a training session. She'd ignauseous, she'd
be unwell, she wasn't able to eat, and just like
the girl just spoke, then, is that she's not eating
much at all. And then if you're trying to think about,
you know, back to basics, energy in versus energy out.
You can't output energy and look after your health if
(07:54):
you're not eating. So nothing that happened for her was
she was barely eating four hundred calories a day, but
she wasn't losing the weight either because her body just
wasn't accepting it. So she I think persisted for about
eleven weeks, and in that eleven weeks, her determination to
still try and do what she was trying to do
(08:15):
because she was trying to lose weight because she wants
to have a baby because of PCOS, and it ended
up having a really bad negative effect on her because
now that she's not on it, it's taken a probably
it's been about six months maybe since she's been offered,
and it's taken her body so long to bounce back
from her.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Thank you for your story, Sarah. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
That's on Denise in Newport. You had some drastic side
effects with the zimpeik. Is that getting on it or
getting off at Denise?
Speaker 7 (08:41):
It was while I was it was actually while I
was on it, I ended up having I ended up
losing about eight kilos, which was great, but I ended
up dying to the doctor and having a blood test
and it actually affected my liver yea so well I
end up having from the sunction and function. Yeah, so
my doctor recommends go off and as soon as I
(09:04):
went off it, I actually ballooned right, came back and
came back with a vengeance. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Right.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Over what period of time did you stack it rapidly?
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Probably for about six months afterwards and it was Yeah,
and then I've been on another diet which has worked amazingly.
It's kept the weight off, but it's.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Just that a healthy diet or is that a drug, Denise, No.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Healthy, very healthy diet. It's time today, small meals, but yeah,
basically it just feeds your metabolism up, which is amazing.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Well, I mean if you had to go through that
to find something that works, that's awesome. Well done, Well
done to those out there fighting the bold.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Well, look, it's been negative towards it. Sue's actually was
she she recommends that She's on the line now. So
what are your experiences with a zimpig Sue?
Speaker 8 (09:54):
Yeah, I had really high blood pressure, was passing out
at work all the time, and so my doctor said
to me, and I was a bit overweight, not massively,
but if I'm going to try you on a ZAMPI
can see if we can get some weight off and
lower your boat pressure. My bood pressure's gone down. I'm
not having any more gidea attacks. I was on the
four dose of a zampick, which I last nineteen kilos
(10:16):
since January, and now I'm back to having just half
a dose and I feel fantastic. My appetite is a
bit suppressed, but I only eat what I feel like eating.
I don't push myself to eat. I still eat healthy
and I feel great.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
That's been really good.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
If there's education around it, I think it can work,
can't it, Because if you need weight loss to lower
other levels within your body, did you know it's a
temporary fix which is going to be part of an
educational program.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Yeah, But I look, I think, like with most drugs,
there are parts of the community that are going to
misuse it, and I think.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, I just I'm a little bit worried about doctors
prescribing it. This is the thing now, look for diabetics
and for people that need in their life. Obviously that's
what it was prescribed for. But if you like, if
you were prescribed it, whip.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I just don't know. I don't understand that that that
just I don't know. It gets me down.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I feel like it's a quick fix for a doctor,
but you trust that profession. That's that's something that I
don't think that needs to be prescribed.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Just need to think it is something foreign and if
there's other ways of doing it as a healthy option
then maybe so, depending on your size. It's in Whipper

Is popular like that, but people come become addicted to
it and then you have problems. So they're talking at

Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (01:51):

Well, I mean if you had to go through that
to find something that works, that's awesome. Well done, Well
done to those out there fighting the bold.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Well, look, it's been negative towards it. Sue's actually was
she she recommends that She's on the line now. So
what are your experiences with a zimpig Sue?
Speaker 8 (09:54):
Yeah, I had really high blood pressure, was passing out
at work all the time, and so my doctor said
to me, and I was a bit overweight, not massively,
but if I'm going to try you on a ZAMPI
can see if we can get some weight off and
lower your boat pressure. My bood pressure's gone down. I'm
not having any more gidea attacks. I was on the
four dose of a zampick, which I last nineteen kilos
(10:16):
since January, and now I'm back to having just half
a dose and I feel fantastic. My appetite is a
bit suppressed, but I only eat what I feel like eating.
I don't push myself to eat. I still eat healthy
and I feel great.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
That's been really good.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
If there's education around it, I think it can work,
can't it, Because if you need weight loss to lower
other levels within your body, did you know it's a
temporary fix which is going to be part of an
educational program.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Yeah, But I look, I think, like with most drugs,
there are parts of the community that are going to
misuse it, and I think.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, I just I'm a little bit worried about doctors
prescribing it. This is the thing now, look for diabetics
and for people that need in their life. Obviously that's
what it was prescribed for. But if you like, if
you were prescribed it, whip.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I just don't know. I don't understand that that that
just I don't know. It gets me down.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I feel like it's a quick fix for a doctor,
but you trust that profession. That's that's something that I
don't think that needs to be prescribed.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Just need to think it is something foreign and if
there's other ways of doing it as a healthy option
then maybe so, depending on your size. It's in Whipper

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
