Speaker 3 (00:39):
You're listening to Michael Patrick Shields and I am very
glad you are welcome to the program. Pleased to be
with you. And doctor John Wycoff is settling in here
by the fire. He's going to spend some time with us, uh,
talking about your health during the holidays. Because even when
I was a young person, it was all the excuse
(01:00):
you could say, well, it's the holidays. Should we have
another drink? Yeah, it's the holidays. What about a second
helping a you know, it's the holidays. You want dessert? Yeah, well,
of course it's the holidays. And so we rationalize and
we justify, and he's here to help us with that.
(01:21):
And he is a doctor who if you go and
see him at the Wycoff Wellness Center, he's going to
take some time with you. He's going to get at
the root causes of the things that might be hampering
you from having a quality lifestyle. And the bottom line is,
doctor Wycoff, when you overeat or overdrink, pretty much overdo anything,
(01:42):
even exercise. There are side effects that come with that.
You're going to feel a hangover, you're going to feel sluggish,
you're going to feel full, all that kind of thing.
But hey, it's the holidays, right.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Well, Michael, You're right, that does happen, and human nature
being what it is, has the way of justifying a
lot of activities that probably is not healthy.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It just seems right, holidays and we should just indulge more.
But you know, our metabolism and our body is not
geared that way. And really, if our goal is to
live healthier and live longer and maybe add life to
our years, we do it to need more cognizant of
(02:30):
what we eat and drink on a day to day basis,
because there are ramifications of those choices we make that
don't always help improve our ability to live longer and
to live better.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
There's a movie out right now about Paul Anka, who
I can say is a friend of this program. He's
been on the radio and I've met him a bunch
of times, and nice fella, and he says the reason
he can still perform in his mid eighties and he
has a very aggressive concert tour, a very energetic one too,
is that he respects his body and he fasts one
(03:08):
day a week, he doesn't drink, eats the right things.
Can it really be that simple?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Well, there is a whole science to just eating less,
and however you achieve that, whether it's with fasting or
chlorate control, that that will lead to a longer life
and a healthier life, and I mean significantly less. There's
a group of people that really do a spouse the
(03:35):
idea that you know, sixty eight hundred calories per day
is really all you need to sustain yourself, and there's
more and more evidence that seems to be supporting that.
But I think it's hard for a lot of people.
There's a lot of cards that are dealt against us
with the American food system, foods that are high in
sugar and carbohydrates and chemicals and hormones that tend to
(03:58):
promote you wanted to eat more. So one of the
things that we found that wycoff wellness a very powerful
tool is to use the prescription GLP one drugs. Those
are like those Zempi, zepp bound Manjaro Wagovi and structure
those in a way even with low dose. We call
(04:18):
it microdosing of those medications to really reduce the cravings
and reduce the amount of food that you're eating in
order to help you lose weight and get better metabolic
control of your life. So that's something we do a
lot of at Wycoff Wellness.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Have you seen a picture of Amy Schumer lately, the actress?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You know, I'm not, but is she done on the gun?
On the shot?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I don't know if she's on the jab or not,
but she's about a third of her previous size. And
you know, part of her bit was, you know that
she was the train wreck. She was kind of, you know,
a curvy girl, but now skin and bones.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I would almost guarantee she's on the job. And really
almost anyone that you see today that has had you know,
modesty significant weight loss is on the job. And the
medications can be used very safely. There are some side
effects nausioviolity, diarrhea, constipation, reflux, but astute clinician can help
(05:24):
you get through those. And this is really where patients
need someone like me at White Off Wellness, and it's
got the experience to help them through this. These mail
order systems and sense that are available may initially be
somewhat cost effective, but I don't think you're able to
get the support that you need, the one on one
(05:45):
help to guide you through the myriad of problems that
you almost always experience and help you get to the
optimal dose to achieve your results. But they are an
amazing medication. You know, I'm a pro. You know, not
use medications if we want, That's my whole mantra. But
this is one amazing class of drugs that I fully
(06:08):
support for many, many people because they not only reduce
weight and blood sugar, they're improving your cardiovascular health. Published
reports reducing risk of heart attack are struck by thirty percent,
maybe reducing your risk of Alzheimer's, dementia, your risk of addictions.
(06:29):
All these things are being studied, and more and more
positive long term results are coming out. If you can
get to some of the short term side effects, you
may be doing your life a lot of benefit long term.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Is it basically an appetite suppressant?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You know, it's absolutely not. I think it's a common
mis understanding, So thank you for the question. The medication
works on every cell in your body, and your brain
and your gut and your pancreas, and your muscle. Ever,
what it does in terms of appetite is slows the
emptying of your stomaching the first part of your intestinal track,
(07:08):
so you'd feel full sooner. But it really is not
an appetite suppressant in the classic sense of the older
class of medications. It does that by normal metabolic changes,
and it also may have an effect on some of
the chemicals in your brain that control appetite. So I
(07:30):
think there are multiple ways why you want ease less,
but the appetite suppression, even from the first dose is
really significant for many many patients.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
With a minute and a half left of somebody's listening
right now during the holidays, and they say, all right,
come January first, I'm doing it. How much is it
going to cost?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
You know, they can come in and see me, and
we will. If they mentioned they heard this ad or
heard this talk, I'll give them twenty percent off their visit.
I will get them the first six to eight weeks
of therapy free. We're able to do that through the
companies we work with, and then the pricing of the
medication has dropped significantly since the President puts some pressure
(08:16):
on these companies. We can get the first two months
of prescription with GOVY for just one forty nine a month,
and then it goes up to three forty nine a month,
so it's become much more price competitive and your insurance
may cover it. We are empowered to help you get
that insurance reimbursement. It sometimes happens, it sometimes doesn't, but
(08:39):
let us help you through that process and try to
make that happen. So it may cost you actually almost
nothing per month to find that new you and to
do it with the professional guidance that you need.
