Speaker 1 (00:00):
If there was some news from Eli Lilly. They said
(00:02):
that they have an obesity pill that has led to
more than a twelve percent weight loss. This has been
a closely watched late stage trial and they're paving their
way now for approval of this GLP one receptor.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
It's always some name that no one can comprehend. I can't.
I was just looking at it.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
It's or for or for glillpron.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's what or for glillpron. You know, if you tried
a third time, you might get closer.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
If they get approval for it. Uh huh, they're going
to change the name.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Oh totally.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
I mean they would have to.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I would love to know.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Imagine right at the jingle for that, there's.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Some I mean, there's what it's got to be. This
is my medical degree coming out here. There's got to
be some sort of uh, what it's compounded with or
whatever goes into making it.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
That's when they come up with the.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Bizarro name that you're doing a very good job trying
to pronounce.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
But they say that on average, the test subjects lose
about twelve percent of their body weight, or roughly twenty
seven pounds, and they see results at seventy two weeks.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
So the great conversation right now with this stuff in
this country, because obviously there's a variety of drugs that
are geared towards this is what's the long term ramifications
going to be. Because there are many people who struggle biologically, genetically,
whatever with weight issues, and there are some people who
(01:31):
struggle in the sense of, hey, you're genetically inclined to put.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
On a weight, you really gotta watch what you eat.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Like I've said, I've been as high as one hundred
and eighty and I've been as low as one hundred
and forty five.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
And right now I'm at my driver's.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
License weight, oh, which is one fifty five ish de
What I had for dinner last night my mother made
chicken fingers and brought them over, So I'm probably above
the driver's license weight.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
This morning.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I'll make up for starving myself the rest of the day.
But the point is, like, there's some people who, hey,
you better be careful about that, right, and then there's
some people who have serious health ramifications because of it,
And so what will be fascinating is how do they
square long term the immediate benefits of hate.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Short term benefits do they outweigh any long term consequence?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Right, They're like, hey, you're losing all this weight, which
is great, and not even is it like some people
want to because oh it's gonna make.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Me look better. A lot of people there's a real.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Legitimate health benefit of it in the in the immediate,
But the body I don't think is design in a
rapid fashion. You know, they always talk about, hey, if
you're going to diet, if you're going to get on
a plan, you don't want to try to lose twenty
pounds in a month. For most people, you want to try,
you know, like Hammer when he does his weight loss thing,
he lost fifty pounds, but it was over the course
(02:45):
of a year, and he was trying to lose all.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Amounts incrementally a healthy way rather than a crash.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
So you do wonder, hey, five years from now or
ten years from now, is there's some sort of long
term ramification on the human body that we don't know
about yet.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Okay, now they're saying that this drug or for gore,
for love.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
You're trying. I know, I've got to bless you for
putting the comfort in.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Orpho that it also will lead to reductions in cholesterol
and triglycerides and also help with blood pressure. Now they're
planning to submit it for regulatory review by the end
of this year. The trial began in twenty three. They
had over three thousand adults with obesity and weight related
(03:31):
medical problems who did not have diabetes as test subjects
for this.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Okay, I learned something yesterday, since we're talking about medical stuff. Yeah,
someone I know shared this with me a friend and
they said you should mention this on your show, and
I said, okay, will. They were amazed that they could
get an online doctor's appointment at four in the morning,
(03:56):
like they had some low level cold or flu or whatever,
and whatever their pharmacy is, you know, you can get
the what do they call it, the minute clinic where
you can go in if you got some like I'm
not trying to disiss anybody's illnesses or whatever, but low
hanging fruit, like somebody could provide some and you know,
subscribe to prescribe some antibiotics or whatever and go on
your merry way. Well, the minute clinic, all the minute
(04:20):
clinics in this person's area were booked. But then there
was an online version of this and at four in
the morning, this person was able to see. I guess
they got on their cellular telephone.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Or whatever with the doctor.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yes, and they said the person asked them all the questions,
they went through the whole rigmarole. They said, I'm going
to provide this for you. I guess they have some
sort of safeguard around it, like they try to expedite
the process, like if in a couple of days you're
not feeling better than you have to go in person
to the actual clinic. But I didn't even know. I
knew the minute clinic was a thing. I didn't know
the virtual thing was a thing. Oh and by the way,
(04:56):
it's open, I guess twenty four hours a day, which
I didn't know that either.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I didn't and they it blew me away.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
You're giving me news because typically it takes forever to
get into a doctor's office.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah,
