Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, we need your help, and we actually really
do because we don't really know what to say here.
We've got an email from a listener.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
We have opinions, yeah, correct, because I've got stories.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
But I'm not a doctor. So we're about to talk
about weight loss injections a zen pick. So I'm going
to read out a letter that we've got from a
beautiful listener who's happy for us to name her in
this letter.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Please you can email us anytime. You can slide into
our DMS whatever you want anytime. We love it. All right.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
My name is Kelly, and I'm writing in because I
don't really know who else to ask. It's clear you're
always real with your listeners, so here I am being
real with you.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Let's get it cal.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
I'm seriously thinking about starting a zen pick. I've been
struggling with my weight for years. I've tried all the diets,
I've exercised, I've cried in change rooms. I hate this,
and I've skipped events because I couldn't find anything I
felt good in. I'm desperate, but I'm nervous. I hear
all these amazing stories of people dropping weight and feeling better,
(00:56):
and then others saying it made them really sick or
they felt awful on it, they gain weight as soon
as they went off it. I'd love to know, honestly,
what do you guys think, would you do it? Do
you know people that have done it? Is it worth it?
Thanks for reading this and for always being real. Even
if you don't read this out, it's helped just writing it.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Big love, Kelly, Kelly Kell's thank you for stepping into
our office.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
This is actually a debate that I've had with so
many of my girlfriends because I think, I feel I
know it's not a new drug, but it feels like
it's new that everybody's on it.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
My first thought as a realist, and you know, I
just like call a spade a spade, which is not
always the right thing to do is get fit by
going out and doing things, eat healthy, do the exercise.
It will work for you eventually. There's a reason that
people get that way. However, I can see that she's
written she's tried those things, and I want to believe it.
I want to believe Kelly, but it does happen.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I think you get to a certain age and generally
it's over forty where it's hard to do these things
where you can't lose that middleweight. But what I find
weird is that like people who were size twelve that's
not big at all, and they're on it because they
just want to share kilos. People are on it secretly.
I've had a friend that's on it, and she has
been I've been out to dinner with her. We had
(02:12):
she had a glass of wine and literally ran into
the lame way and started spewing all over the lame
ways because I think she she's now offered, but she
she was feeling sick on it.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You're not alcohol or something. I don't know. Yeah, okay,
so this is where we need all of your help, Adelaide,
Please thirty one and two three help us out. I've
had this discussion with my wife. She's a dentist, but
I mean, it's in the medical world, and she said,
think about it in medical terms, like you it's risk reward. Yeah, right,
So if you're that person who is a size ten
(02:43):
or the size twelve, you're not that fat. You're not
that fat at all. It's not like let's insert drugs
to make me skinnier. That's have a crack at the
healthy lifestyle stuff. But if you are one hundred and
eighty kilos, you've tried everything, your risk of getting heart disease,
your risk get diabetes is really high. So if this
was something that was proven to be, let's drop some
(03:05):
wait instantly. Then you are someone that is like, yeah, okay,
maybe ozen pic is for you, even though we don't
know the long term effection.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
That's the thing that scares me is like, in ten
years time, all these people have been on a zen pic,
are they going to get some form of other disease?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I know? And that's a risk you take with any
new one the Drugded.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Comments, Okay, we would love your help. We would absolutely
love the good, the bad, ugly, whatever story you've got
from a zenpig, just so we can start this getting
all this feedback. We'll try and get a doctor on
later in the week so we can tell Kelly.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
What your thoughts are. Thirty one h two three give
us a ring. Even if you're the person that says,
you know what, go for a run, maybe that's all
you need to do. If you're that person, please get
on the line, because I can see your point
All right, we need your help, and we actually really
