Jeremy (00:00):
Okay, let's get into it.
Jeremy (00:17):
Welcome to the Inspire Weight Loss Davy podcast.
Drug free, sustainable, lifechanging weight loss.
Here's your host, marthaSavloff.
Jeremy (00:32):
Hello, hello everyone, and welcome back to another
episode of the Inspire WeightLoss podcast.
I'm your co-host, jeremy Wolf,joined by your host, martha
Savloff.
Martha, good to see you again.
Martha (00:41):
Good to see you.
Jeremy (00:44):
Yeah, it's been a minute , as they like to say, since
we've gotten together and I knowI've been hearing a lot about.
I thought a good topic fortoday is something I've been
hearing about diabetic drugs ordiabetic injections that are now
being used by people off-labelfor weight loss.
Martha (01:04):
Yes.
Jeremy (01:05):
And I know that that's really near and dear to your
heart, because what you do isyou focus on a completely
holistic approach to gettinghealthy and transforming your
life through the variousprograms you offer at Inspire.
So I thought you could talk alittle bit about what's going on
there and just throw out somewarning signs and explain why
people shouldn't should gowithout saying, right, shouldn't
(01:26):
be using a diabetic injectionto curb their weight loss, right
.
Martha (01:31):
Yes, oh man, that's the question of the year.
You don't know how many times Iget this question.
Knowing people, knowing that Iam an advocate for weight loss
and I'm an advocate for naturalweight loss, and they're asking
me about these drugs, I gottatell you, first and foremost, I
want to say that I am notanti-antimetrical.
(01:52):
I come from the medical field.
I was a healthcareadministrator for over 15 years,
so I have doctors in my family.
So I am not anti-medical, but Ido believe that there's a place
for everything, right.
And so these diabetic injectionsare being used off-label for
(02:15):
weight loss, you know, like theold Zephyx and the Manjaros and
the Wigobis and the Zepham now,and there's a couple of
different ones, and people areusing them no matter what their
BMI is, no matter how much fatmass they have to lose, and
that's the issue here is thatpeople are using them to lose
(02:37):
weight when they don't even havea chronic disease that is
directly correlated with thesedrugs.
So what I mean by that isinitially, these drugs are
produced to help diabetics,right?
These drugs help your bodyproduce insulin and, as a result
(02:58):
, your glucose levels come down.
So what they find is that ithelps the diabetics with their
glucose levels, but it alsohelps them lose weight, right?
So when they when all that cameout, it's like, hey, wait a
second, now we can use thesedrugs off-label to lose weight.
The problem with this is thatit not only does that to your
(03:25):
glucose levels with the insulin,but it also slows down your
digestive system.
So these drugs are not a weightloss program, these.
They're basically an appetitesuppressant.
Jeremy (03:38):
Yeah, not not that similar to taking some kind of a
, a in fetamine base or speedbased medication for diet loss,
right?
I think I took something many,many years ago.
I forgot what it was called itwas.
I went to Hi thank you, dean,exactly it was one of those and
again it had like the sketchiestfeeling ever, like yeah, it
made you not eat, but man did Ifeel like horrible when I took
(03:59):
that medicine.
Martha (03:59):
And that's a good point.
These drugs have been aroundfor a long, long time.
Jeremy (04:03):
There's always a new one, over and over and over
again, right.
Martha (04:05):
The next best thing, but the problem is that at the end
of the day, it's an appetitesuppressant.
Jeremy (04:11):
It's a band-aid.
Martha (04:12):
Yeah, it's a band-aid.
So what's happening?
No-transcript People that again, are not diabetic for taking
these medications and and that'sa problem you know they can be
a long-term clinical risk tothat.
Why are you messing with yourbody and your organs?
Number two, talking about organ,your gut is your second brain
(04:33):
of your body.
You don't want to mess withthat.
You do not want to slow downDigestion just because you want
to lose weight.
Number three when it doesSuppress your appetite, then
guess what people are not doing?
They're not eating, and that'sa problem in itself for two
different reasons.
Number one your bike can go instarvation mode.
Jeremy (04:55):
So now, instead of losing weight or gaining weight,
yeah, we did an episode on thatbefore the counterintuitive yes
, not eating and actuallygetting weight due to it a
hundred percent.
Martha (05:05):
That's what happened to me.
I gained 60 pounds from noteating because I was so busy.
Number two, the issue that we'reseeing and guys, I am so
passionate about this because wesee this every single day in my
office One failure after theother after the other that come
to us afterwards and say and sayyou know, I tried the injection
(05:26):
and this, what?
This is what happened.
They lose weight, but what areyou losing?
Your weight consists ofdifferent components.
You have fat, you have muscle,you have water.
Right, there's certain thingsthat you want to protect in your
body.
Muscle is one of them.
You do not want to lose musclemass, especially if you're like
in your 30s and 40s and 50s,definitely not 60s and 70s,
(05:50):
because naturally we lose musclemass.
So what's happening is when youdo not feed your body, your body
needs to burn something andneeds to eat off something to
give you energy.
So if it doesn't have thenutrients that it needs and the
food that it needs to providethat to you, it is going to eat
up your muscle mass.
(06:11):
And that is what's happeningwith these people that are
taking these injections and noteating Only not eating.
You have to feed your body.
So what's happening is thatpeople are losing muscle mass
and that's why you'll see peoplethat their cheeks are going in
the color fields epic face.
They're they.
They.
(06:31):
They end up really flabby andand they're just losing muscle
mass.
And why is it losing musclemass such a problem?
It's because it's really badfor your metabolism.
It's so bad there's metabolicdamage.
That happens when you losemuscle mass and then also, as we
age, like I mentioned, we losemuscle mass naturally.
Jeremy (06:53):
So don't remind me.
Martha (06:56):
Why is it important to protect?
that because when we're older,we want to stay limber, we want
to stay flexible, we don't wantto get rigid In our retirement
year if we want to try to enjoylife.
So what's happening is thatpeople are coming to us because
if you go go on these drugs, youhave to go stay on them forever
(07:18):
.
Stay on them forever and that'sanother problem.
The minute that that appetiteso present is not in your system
anymore, people get angry andthey start eating.
And when they start eating,what happens?
They gave the weight back,especially for people that they
(07:39):
don't change their eating habits, so they're not hungry, and
then when they actually eat,they still eat what they've been
eating, right, so there's nohabit change in there.
So then they get it backquickly and it's not.
It's not sustainable and that'swhy I'm so passionate about
this.
On spreading the word out thatNumber one, I'm not anti, anti
(08:03):
medical, believe me, I'm not.
But there is a place for thesedrugs, these injections, and if
you need to lose back, if youneed to lose back right, there's
a way to do it that you don'thave to pump your body with
these drugs and you can feedyour body.
You want to eat like you wantto eat, feed your body and you
(08:28):
can lose fat in a health,natural way, with no long-term
risk and sustainable, and that'sthe message that I want to send
out out there.
The second thing to that,jeremy I'm gonna let you talk,
but I'm so passionate about this.
Jeremy (08:42):
I do have keep going, keep going.
Martha (08:49):
The study show, then, on these drugs, people lose 10 to
15% of their body weight withina year.
Right like in a year.
Not within, but in a year.
So, for example, I had a clientthe other day.
She lost 30 pounds on Monjaroand they asked her how long did
it take you?
(09:09):
It took her seven months.
So she lost 30 pounds in sevenmonths and and you know that's a
long time for us.
30 pounds for his fire.
Weight loss is about eight toten weeks, I Okay.
So it's not quick weight losswith these injections, but what
is quick is when they rebound.
(09:30):
She had to get off of themedication because she was tired
of being feeling nauseous allday.
She was tired of just notfeeling right.
You know, how you said earlier,you had like an icky, weird
feeling.
People are living their life ona daily basis with this icky,
weird feeling.
Just to lose weight.
(09:50):
You don't have to do that.
You don't have to do that.
So she got off of it.
Within like two months, all her30 pounds came back, plus, plus
, because you get hangry.
So you're like the food noisecomes back.
You didn't change your habitsand now you're eating, eating,
(10:11):
and now it just comes right back.
Jeremy (10:13):
It's a downward spiral.
Martha (10:16):
It is.
It is Jeremy.
So you've got to protect yourmuscle mass.
You have to feed your body.
You can get support, like weall need support in our bodies.
Supplements is not a bad thing,but just be careful what you
put in your bodies because youwant it to provide life to you,
not long term clinical risk orlive your life nauseous.
(10:38):
Who wants to walk aroundnauseous all day long?
You know, if you don't have toright, and they're not cheap.
The injections are not cheap.
They're off label.
You know they can be veryexpensive.
Jeremy (10:52):
That's what I wanted to ask about and there is a big
echo coming through.
I'm not sure if you hear that.
Oh, it went away.
Okay, cool, maybe.
Maybe I'm just hearing voicesin my my own head.
So it's off label.
How are folks accessingmedications like OZEMPEC and
these other diabetic injectionsfor weight loss?
Is that something that they'regoing to a doctor, like a weight
(11:13):
loss doctor, for and the doctoris actively prescribing them
these drugs?
And is that even safe?
I mean, if it's not intendedfor that?
Martha (11:21):
that is also another concern, jeremy.
So what's going on is doctorsprescribe the medications.
If they qualify, someinsurances will pay for it.
They have to, really, you knowit's it's not that easy, but
some will.
If not, they have to pay out ofpocket.
That's why it's so expensive,right?
(11:41):
But then there are med spas andother providers that what
they're doing is they're they'reproviding their patients with
compounded semi-duty, so it'scoming from a compounding
pharmacy and not from atraditional pharmacy.
So then they they're selling itthat way.
(12:02):
It's still prescription drivenand everything, but it's coming
from a compounded pharmacy.
So we don't know what's going tohappen with that, because I'm
sure big pharma is not going tobe happy about that or is not
happy about that.
So so the point is it's likewhat do you do when you no
longer can access theseinjections Like they're?
You know, either they'rethey're not going to be covered
(12:24):
anymore by insurance, or they'reso expensive that you can't
afford it anymore, or big pharmashuts down the compounding
pharmacy to tell them hey, youcan't produce these anymore.
What are people going to dowhen they can't access
injections because you've got totake it for life in order to
sustain that weight loss?
What are they going to do?
Jeremy (12:45):
I mean it goes back to everybody wants a quick fix.
We've talked about this before.
I'm talking gratification, I'mguilty myself.
Right, I suffer from.
All my life I've suffered fromanxiety and all this kind of
stuff, and it's it's so easy totake a pill, to take something,
because they have this, theyhave amazing medicines out there
(13:06):
that will serve the purpose inthat moment.
But again, it's just a bandit.
It doesn't fix the underlyingissue, the root problem, and it
always ends up making you worseon the other side of it.
So again, in any givensituation, sure it'll make you
feel better, maybe even for acouple of weeks or months, but
long term it's not sustainable.
Same as the case with you knowyour diet and your health, and
(13:28):
what you guys offer and inspireis really an avenue to change
your habitual lifestyle, yourhabits, your things that are
causing you to be overweight inthe first place, causing you to
feel unhealthy.
And of course, this doesn'thappen overnight, right, we're
wired running on decades longprograms in my mind, and if you
want to change habits of eatingpoorly and not exercising, you
(13:50):
have to work at it.
And when you do the work on theother side of it, the reward is
so much better than just takinga pill.
And I know it's hard for peoplebecause in any given moment
when you're dealing with ityou're like I could just take
this, I don't have to go throughall that, right.
But the other message to getout there is just to put the
work into it and know that thereis support out there for you
and know that there are placesyou can go that can help you
(14:12):
through all this stuff.
Martha (14:13):
Yeah, and I'll be.
I'll give you some history ofInspire.
When I started Inspire WeightLoss in 2017, I actually started
with ACG, which was aprescription hormone, and so I
actually started that way and acouple of years in, I'm like
what is that?
You know what?
What am I out to accomplish atInspire?
(14:34):
And it's really because I wasthe client like I was that
person that was 60 poundsoverweight and I was that person
that kept the oiling and thatkept doing the rebound thing
over and over and over again.
I'm like that's not what I'mset out to do.
I want our clients toexperience sustainable weight
loss and that's what I'moffering myself personally too.
(14:54):
So that's when I decided to gonatural and we and as Inspire
Weight Loss, we developed ourown proprietary blend of
supplements.
So I understand that we do needour bodies, do need supplements
to help us with weight loss,but it doesn't have to be some
that can be potentially riskyfor you.
It could be natural.
We have a metabolic booster inour, in our program that helps
(15:19):
gently stimulate your metabolism.
That's how people lose half apound to a pound per day of
weight and we and we alsoprotect the muscle, muscle mass.
So I get all of the above, butat the end of the day, at
Inspire, not only that, wegently stimulate your metabolism
so you can lose the fat, but atthe same time we're teaching
(15:40):
you how to eat.
And then, when you're donelosing the weight, we're
teaching you how to maintain.
So our clients have an over 89%maintenance rates or percentage
, because they're doing the work, their body is getting what
they need to stimulate themetabolism, but at the same time
(16:01):
they're learning how to eat,they're learning how to get an
awareness of their body and howdifferent foods you know their
body, how it responds todifferent foods, and all of that
information they take with themand they can keep their weight
off.
And so that guys like Jeremysaid there's.
(16:21):
There's really no miracle pillout there.
Injection I don't give,whatever it may be.
At the end of the day,everything under the sun
requires maintenance.
And when that injection is notavailable for you, or that
tablet because they're comingout with different forms of it
is no longer available to you,you're going to find yourself
(16:41):
yoyoing back and you're going tofind yourself with so much less
muscle mass and when youstarted, then you're going to
have to work so hard to buildthat backup.
It is not easy, to build musclemass, it isn't, and so that is,
that is the message out therewith this.
And last thing I'll say toJeremy, because I can go on and
(17:02):
on, we may have to do a part twoon this, but I have a dear
friend of mine that her wholeentire life she has struggled
with uncontrolled blood sugar.
She hurt she's, she's obese, shein in part of this because they
cannot her doctors and herself,they can't figure out how to
(17:25):
control this thing, and so sheis the perfect candidate for
this injection.
So that's why I say there's,there's a place for everything,
right, she is the perfectcandidate for this injection
because she needs it.
She is.
She needs to be able to controlher insulin levels and her
(17:45):
glucose levels, her, her sugarlevels.
That her and her doctor haven'tbeen able to do that and she
has a diagnosis.
And if she doesn't, she's gonnabe enough.
She's gonna be in trouble lateron.
And you know what the sad partof it is, jeremy, that that her
doctor prescribed this to herand she can't source it because
(18:07):
they're on a stock she yes, sothe people that actually need it
can't get it, and then you havepeople that are just trying to
Utilize a shortcut.
Somebody like me that I'm inthis industry and I see it every
single day of my life.
Jeremy (18:24):
Yeah.
Martha (18:27):
That's the message.
You know.
We can do it in a natural,healthy way and we can do it
more effective.
30 pounds for entire weightloss is eight weeks.
30 pounds for these injectionsare Major year.
Jeremy (18:41):
Yeah.
Martha (18:42):
You know so so worth it.
Jeremy (18:45):
I think it's all it all goes back to and I can't preach
this enough Just developing, andI say this that I kind of roll
my eyes because I have my kidsthat are, you know, 12, gonna be
12 next month and 9, and I'mwatching them grow up and inform
their own Patterns, their ownnegative patterns and things
that I look at and I think howmuch easier life is when you
(19:07):
start off from an early age Withthe right eating habits, with
the right health, exercise orthe right routines, because if
you start off that way, you'reso much less likely to get
Illnesses and diseases andthings like that that come from
a lot of these bad habits and alot of these stress factors we
have in our life.
And now, at 44.
I'm trying to unwind all theseprograms and it is Painful, yeah
(19:29):
, and I struggle with it dailymyself, and that's why it's so
important to talk about thisstuff and and realize that
Everybody has issues like this.
Martha (19:37):
Right this is part of being human right can have the
light without the dark Withoutthe light every single person,
absolutely absolutely, andthat's what that's why inspire
weight loss exists To helppeople just like myself and you
and everybody else, becausewe're really in this all
together.

Jeremy (00:17):
Welcome to the Inspire Weight Loss Davy podcast.
Drug free, sustainable, lifechanging weight loss.
Here's your host, marthaSavloff.
Jeremy (00:32):
Hello, hello everyone, and welcome back to another
episode of the Inspire WeightLoss podcast.
I'm your co-host, jeremy Wolf,joined by your host, martha
Savloff.
Martha, good to see you again.
Martha (00:41):
Good to see you.
Jeremy (00:44):
Yeah, it's been a minute , as they like to say, since
we've gotten together and I knowI've been hearing a lot about.
I thought a good topic fortoday is something I've been
hearing about diabetic drugs ordiabetic injections that are now
being used by people off-labelfor weight loss.
Martha (01:04):
Yes.
Jeremy (01:05):
And I know that that's really near and dear to your
heart, because what you do isyou focus on a completely
holistic approach to gettinghealthy and transforming your
life through the variousprograms you offer at Inspire.
So I thought you could talk alittle bit about what's going on
there and just throw out somewarning signs and explain why
people shouldn't should gowithout saying, right, shouldn't
(01:26):
be using a diabetic injectionto curb their weight loss, right
.
Martha (01:31):
Yes, oh man, that's the question of the year.
You don't know how many times Iget this question.
Knowing people, knowing that Iam an advocate for weight loss
and I'm an advocate for naturalweight loss, and they're asking
me about these drugs, I gottatell you, first and foremost, I
want to say that I am notanti-antimetrical.
(01:52):
I come from the medical field.
I was a healthcareadministrator for over 15 years,
so I have doctors in my family.
So I am not anti-medical, but Ido believe that there's a place
for everything, right.
And so these diabetic injectionsare being used off-label for
(02:15):
weight loss, you know, like theold Zephyx and the Manjaros and
the Wigobis and the Zepham now,and there's a couple of
different ones, and people areusing them no matter what their
BMI is, no matter how much fatmass they have to lose, and
that's the issue here is thatpeople are using them to lose
(02:37):
weight when they don't even havea chronic disease that is
directly correlated with thesedrugs.
So what I mean by that isinitially, these drugs are
produced to help diabetics,right?
These drugs help your bodyproduce insulin and, as a result
(02:58):
, your glucose levels come down.
So what they find is that ithelps the diabetics with their
glucose levels, but it alsohelps them lose weight, right?
So when they when all that cameout, it's like, hey, wait a
second, now we can use thesedrugs off-label to lose weight.
The problem with this is thatit not only does that to your
(03:25):
glucose levels with the insulin,but it also slows down your
digestive system.
So these drugs are not a weightloss program, these.
They're basically an appetitesuppressant.
Jeremy (03:38):
Yeah, not not that similar to taking some kind of a
, a in fetamine base or speedbased medication for diet loss,
right?
I think I took something many,many years ago.
I forgot what it was called itwas.
I went to Hi thank you, dean,exactly it was one of those and
again it had like the sketchiestfeeling ever, like yeah, it
made you not eat, but man did Ifeel like horrible when I took
(03:59):
that medicine.
Martha (03:59):
And that's a good point.
These drugs have been aroundfor a long, long time.
Jeremy (04:03):
There's always a new one, over and over and over
again, right.
Martha (04:05):
The next best thing, but the problem is that at the end
of the day, it's an appetitesuppressant.
Jeremy (04:11):
It's a band-aid.
Martha (04:12):
Yeah, it's a band-aid.
So what's happening?
No-transcript People that again, are not diabetic for taking
these medications and and that'sa problem you know they can be
a long-term clinical risk tothat.
Why are you messing with yourbody and your organs?
Number two, talking about organ,your gut is your second brain
(04:33):
of your body.
You don't want to mess withthat.
You do not want to slow downDigestion just because you want
to lose weight.
Number three when it doesSuppress your appetite, then
guess what people are not doing?
They're not eating, and that'sa problem in itself for two
different reasons.
Number one your bike can go instarvation mode.
Jeremy (04:55):
So now, instead of losing weight or gaining weight,
yeah, we did an episode on thatbefore the counterintuitive yes
, not eating and actuallygetting weight due to it a
hundred percent.
Martha (05:05):
That's what happened to me.
I gained 60 pounds from noteating because I was so busy.
Number two, the issue that we'reseeing and guys, I am so
passionate about this because wesee this every single day in my
office One failure after theother after the other that come
to us afterwards and say and sayyou know, I tried the injection
(05:26):
and this, what?
This is what happened.
They lose weight, but what areyou losing?
Your weight consists ofdifferent components.
You have fat, you have muscle,you have water.
Right, there's certain thingsthat you want to protect in your
body.
Muscle is one of them.
You do not want to lose musclemass, especially if you're like
in your 30s and 40s and 50s,definitely not 60s and 70s,
(05:50):
because naturally we lose musclemass.
So what's happening is when youdo not feed your body, your body
needs to burn something andneeds to eat off something to
give you energy.
So if it doesn't have thenutrients that it needs and the
food that it needs to providethat to you, it is going to eat
up your muscle mass.
(06:11):
And that is what's happeningwith these people that are
taking these injections and noteating Only not eating.
You have to feed your body.
So what's happening is thatpeople are losing muscle mass
and that's why you'll see peoplethat their cheeks are going in
the color fields epic face.
They're they.
They.
(06:31):
They end up really flabby andand they're just losing muscle
mass.
And why is it losing musclemass such a problem?
It's because it's really badfor your metabolism.
It's so bad there's metabolicdamage.
That happens when you losemuscle mass and then also, as we
age, like I mentioned, we losemuscle mass naturally.
Jeremy (06:53):
So don't remind me.
Martha (06:56):
Why is it important to protect?
that because when we're older,we want to stay limber, we want
to stay flexible, we don't wantto get rigid In our retirement
year if we want to try to enjoylife.
So what's happening is thatpeople are coming to us because
if you go go on these drugs, youhave to go stay on them forever
(07:18):
.
Stay on them forever and that'sanother problem.
The minute that that appetiteso present is not in your system
anymore, people get angry andthey start eating.
And when they start eating,what happens?
They gave the weight back,especially for people that they
(07:39):
don't change their eating habits, so they're not hungry, and
then when they actually eat,they still eat what they've been
eating, right, so there's nohabit change in there.
So then they get it backquickly and it's not.
It's not sustainable and that'swhy I'm so passionate about
this.
On spreading the word out thatNumber one, I'm not anti, anti
(08:03):
medical, believe me, I'm not.
But there is a place for thesedrugs, these injections, and if
you need to lose back, if youneed to lose back right, there's
a way to do it that you don'thave to pump your body with
these drugs and you can feedyour body.
You want to eat like you wantto eat, feed your body and you
(08:28):
can lose fat in a health,natural way, with no long-term
risk and sustainable, and that'sthe message that I want to send
out out there.
The second thing to that,jeremy I'm gonna let you talk,
but I'm so passionate about this.
Jeremy (08:42):
I do have keep going, keep going.
Martha (08:49):
The study show, then, on these drugs, people lose 10 to
15% of their body weight withina year.
Right like in a year.
Not within, but in a year.
So, for example, I had a clientthe other day.
She lost 30 pounds on Monjaroand they asked her how long did
it take you?
(09:09):
It took her seven months.
So she lost 30 pounds in sevenmonths and and you know that's a
long time for us.
30 pounds for his fire.
Weight loss is about eight toten weeks, I Okay.
So it's not quick weight losswith these injections, but what
is quick is when they rebound.
(09:30):
She had to get off of themedication because she was tired
of being feeling nauseous allday.
She was tired of just notfeeling right.
You know, how you said earlier,you had like an icky, weird
feeling.
People are living their life ona daily basis with this icky,
weird feeling.
Just to lose weight.
(09:50):
You don't have to do that.
You don't have to do that.
So she got off of it.
Within like two months, all her30 pounds came back, plus, plus
, because you get hangry.
So you're like the food noisecomes back.
You didn't change your habitsand now you're eating, eating,
(10:11):
and now it just comes right back.
Jeremy (10:13):
It's a downward spiral.
Martha (10:16):
It is.
It is Jeremy.
So you've got to protect yourmuscle mass.
You have to feed your body.
You can get support, like weall need support in our bodies.
Supplements is not a bad thing,but just be careful what you
put in your bodies because youwant it to provide life to you,
not long term clinical risk orlive your life nauseous.
(10:38):
Who wants to walk aroundnauseous all day long?
You know, if you don't have toright, and they're not cheap.
The injections are not cheap.
They're off label.
You know they can be veryexpensive.
Jeremy (10:52):
That's what I wanted to ask about and there is a big
echo coming through.
I'm not sure if you hear that.
Oh, it went away.
Okay, cool, maybe.
Maybe I'm just hearing voicesin my my own head.
So it's off label.
How are folks accessingmedications like OZEMPEC and
these other diabetic injectionsfor weight loss?
Is that something that they'regoing to a doctor, like a weight
(11:13):
loss doctor, for and the doctoris actively prescribing them
these drugs?
And is that even safe?
I mean, if it's not intendedfor that?
Martha (11:21):
that is also another concern, jeremy.
So what's going on is doctorsprescribe the medications.
If they qualify, someinsurances will pay for it.
They have to, really, you knowit's it's not that easy, but
some will.
If not, they have to pay out ofpocket.
That's why it's so expensive,right?
(11:41):
But then there are med spas andother providers that what
they're doing is they're they'reproviding their patients with
compounded semi-duty, so it'scoming from a compounding
pharmacy and not from atraditional pharmacy.
So then they they're selling itthat way.
(12:02):
It's still prescription drivenand everything, but it's coming
from a compounded pharmacy.
So we don't know what's going tohappen with that, because I'm
sure big pharma is not going tobe happy about that or is not
happy about that.
So so the point is it's likewhat do you do when you no
longer can access theseinjections Like they're?
You know, either they'rethey're not going to be covered
(12:24):
anymore by insurance, or they'reso expensive that you can't
afford it anymore, or big pharmashuts down the compounding
pharmacy to tell them hey, youcan't produce these anymore.
What are people going to dowhen they can't access
injections because you've got totake it for life in order to
sustain that weight loss?
What are they going to do?
Jeremy (12:45):
I mean it goes back to everybody wants a quick fix.
We've talked about this before.
I'm talking gratification, I'mguilty myself.
Right, I suffer from.
All my life I've suffered fromanxiety and all this kind of
stuff, and it's it's so easy totake a pill, to take something,
because they have this, theyhave amazing medicines out there
(13:06):
that will serve the purpose inthat moment.
But again, it's just a bandit.
It doesn't fix the underlyingissue, the root problem, and it
always ends up making you worseon the other side of it.
So again, in any givensituation, sure it'll make you
feel better, maybe even for acouple of weeks or months, but
long term it's not sustainable.
Same as the case with you knowyour diet and your health, and
(13:28):
what you guys offer and inspireis really an avenue to change
your habitual lifestyle, yourhabits, your things that are
causing you to be overweight inthe first place, causing you to
feel unhealthy.
And of course, this doesn'thappen overnight, right, we're
wired running on decades longprograms in my mind, and if you
want to change habits of eatingpoorly and not exercising, you
(13:50):
have to work at it.
And when you do the work on theother side of it, the reward is
so much better than just takinga pill.
And I know it's hard for peoplebecause in any given moment
when you're dealing with ityou're like I could just take
this, I don't have to go throughall that, right.
But the other message to getout there is just to put the
work into it and know that thereis support out there for you
and know that there are placesyou can go that can help you
(14:12):
through all this stuff.
Martha (14:13):
Yeah, and I'll be.
I'll give you some history ofInspire.
When I started Inspire WeightLoss in 2017, I actually started
with ACG, which was aprescription hormone, and so I
actually started that way and acouple of years in, I'm like
what is that?
You know what?
What am I out to accomplish atInspire?
(14:34):
And it's really because I wasthe client like I was that
person that was 60 poundsoverweight and I was that person
that kept the oiling and thatkept doing the rebound thing
over and over and over again.
I'm like that's not what I'mset out to do.
I want our clients toexperience sustainable weight
loss and that's what I'moffering myself personally too.
(14:54):
So that's when I decided to gonatural and we and as Inspire
Weight Loss, we developed ourown proprietary blend of
supplements.
So I understand that we do needour bodies, do need supplements
to help us with weight loss,but it doesn't have to be some
that can be potentially riskyfor you.
It could be natural.
We have a metabolic booster inour, in our program that helps
(15:19):
gently stimulate your metabolism.
That's how people lose half apound to a pound per day of
weight and we and we alsoprotect the muscle, muscle mass.
So I get all of the above, butat the end of the day, at
Inspire, not only that, wegently stimulate your metabolism
so you can lose the fat, but atthe same time we're teaching
(15:40):
you how to eat.
And then, when you're donelosing the weight, we're
teaching you how to maintain.
So our clients have an over 89%maintenance rates or percentage
, because they're doing the work, their body is getting what
they need to stimulate themetabolism, but at the same time
(16:01):
they're learning how to eat,they're learning how to get an
awareness of their body and howdifferent foods you know their
body, how it responds todifferent foods, and all of that
information they take with themand they can keep their weight
off.
And so that guys like Jeremysaid there's.
(16:21):
There's really no miracle pillout there.
Injection I don't give,whatever it may be.
At the end of the day,everything under the sun
requires maintenance.
And when that injection is notavailable for you, or that
tablet because they're comingout with different forms of it
is no longer available to you,you're going to find yourself
(16:41):
yoyoing back and you're going tofind yourself with so much less
muscle mass and when youstarted, then you're going to
have to work so hard to buildthat backup.
It is not easy, to build musclemass, it isn't, and so that is,
that is the message out therewith this.
And last thing I'll say toJeremy, because I can go on and
(17:02):
on, we may have to do a part twoon this, but I have a dear
friend of mine that her wholeentire life she has struggled
with uncontrolled blood sugar.
She hurt she's, she's obese, shein in part of this because they
cannot her doctors and herself,they can't figure out how to
(17:25):
control this thing, and so sheis the perfect candidate for
this injection.
So that's why I say there's,there's a place for everything,
right, she is the perfectcandidate for this injection
because she needs it.
She is.
She needs to be able to controlher insulin levels and her
(17:45):
glucose levels, her, her sugarlevels.
That her and her doctor haven'tbeen able to do that and she
has a diagnosis.
And if she doesn't, she's gonnabe enough.
She's gonna be in trouble lateron.
And you know what the sad partof it is, jeremy, that that her
doctor prescribed this to herand she can't source it because
(18:07):
they're on a stock she yes, sothe people that actually need it
can't get it, and then you havepeople that are just trying to
Utilize a shortcut.
Somebody like me that I'm inthis industry and I see it every
single day of my life.
Jeremy (18:24):
Yeah.
Martha (18:27):
That's the message.
You know.
We can do it in a natural,healthy way and we can do it
more effective.
30 pounds for entire weightloss is eight weeks.
30 pounds for these injectionsare Major year.
Jeremy (18:41):
Yeah.
Martha (18:42):
You know so so worth it.
Jeremy (18:45):
I think it's all it all goes back to and I can't preach
this enough Just developing, andI say this that I kind of roll
my eyes because I have my kidsthat are, you know, 12, gonna be
12 next month and 9, and I'mwatching them grow up and inform
their own Patterns, their ownnegative patterns and things
that I look at and I think howmuch easier life is when you
(19:07):
start off from an early age Withthe right eating habits, with
the right health, exercise orthe right routines, because if
you start off that way, you'reso much less likely to get
Illnesses and diseases andthings like that that come from
a lot of these bad habits and alot of these stress factors we
have in our life.
And now, at 44.
I'm trying to unwind all theseprograms and it is Painful, yeah
(19:29):
, and I struggle with it dailymyself, and that's why it's so
important to talk about thisstuff and and realize that
Everybody has issues like this.
Martha (19:37):
Right this is part of being human right can have the
light without the dark Withoutthe light every single person,
absolutely absolutely, andthat's what that's why inspire
weight loss exists To helppeople just like myself and you
and everybody else, becausewe're really in this all
