Johann: [00:00:00] These medication are rocket gasoline for consuming problems. I’m actually apprehensive. Along with extraordinary advantages for folks like me, if we don’t tighten the regulation round these medication, we’re going to have an opioid like wave of dying toll of deaths of younger ladies and consuming problems do exactly overwhelming the younger ladies.
Clearly you get some boys, some older ladies, but it surely’s overwhelming the younger ladies who’re capable of starve themselves to dying who wouldn’t have been ready to do this had they not had entry to those medication.

Johann: Hey, Mike. I used to be warning you off digital camera that I’ve had an insane quantity of caffeine right now. I’ve mainly been [00:04:00] freebasing caffeine. So there’s a not insignificant probability that I’ll die throughout this interview. So I’m glad my final phrases are going to be recorded for posterity.
Mike: I should minimize that clip and make that the one you’d perceive.
You’ll perceive.
Johann: It’s true. It’s what I might have needed. I as soon as noticed Joan Rivers on stage. She mentioned that, she’d be like, when she was actually previous, she’d be like, I may die at any second. And also you’ll be like, I used to be there. I used to be there. The bitch was strolling round and he or she was simply lifeless.
Mike: And now with social media and cell telephones, you may stay endlessly.
It’s a really 2024 solution to go. How a lot caffeine are you as much as, by the way in which?
Johann: I believe that my blood, when you did gave me a blood check, I’m extra caffeine at this level, but it surely’s all effective. I’ve had a little bit of a mad day.
Mike: One of many, one of many guys who works with me after we have been all within the workplace collectively earlier than COVID, we went distant at that time, however he would frequently devour in all probability a gram to a gram and a half per day.
That was only a, [00:05:00] that was only a regular cruising altitude for his caffeine consumption.
Johann: Within the final 12 months of his life, Elvis had a physician who would come and inject caffeine straight into his veins each morning. And I used to be like, I want that physician. And my pal was like, yeah, what occurred to Elvis subsequent? I used to be like, yeah, good level.
Didn’t work out that nicely.
Mike: Oh yeah. I didn’t consider that. You would possibly as nicely skip that. Simply go to the Hitler section. You need meth? You need, skip the caffeine. If you happen to’re going to go intravenous, come on. Talking of injecting medication we’re. That’s an excellent pivot. I prefer it.
That’s what we’re right here to speak about. Is is injecting medication. We’re right here to speak about some glutide or ozempic as many individuals understand it. And that is one thing that I’ve spoken a bit about it. I’ve written a bit about it, however I needed to have a little bit of a special dialogue and extra, as they prefer to say, nuanced dialogue with you about, about the place the.
Analysis is at with this drug. And seeking to the long run [00:06:00] of the place this would possibly go and the way it the way it would possibly influence society. Additionally taking a look at a number of the security issues which were introduced up. However I believe the place I needed to begin was a quote with of yours the place you mentioned the concept weight problems is nearly willpower is scientifically absurd.
Are you able to clarify what you imply by that?
Johann: I don’t assume I did say that. I do assume that, however I’m unsure that’s anyway. Willpower is actual and willpower performs a big function on this, however willpower is one a part of a a lot greater image. And if you wish to take into consideration that, I might simply say everybody listening, pause this podcast and do one thing for me.
Simply take the title of the closest seaside to the place you reside. So I’m guessing for you, Mike, it’s Tampa and simply Google images of that seaside. Within the 12 months that I used to be born, 1979, and simply have a look at them for a minute after which come again to us, proper? If you happen to’ve performed that, you’ll discover one thing actually bizarre.
These folks don’t look [00:07:00] like us. If you happen to have a look at images of seashores within the 12 months I used to be born, just about everybody, just about in all places on the planet, appears what we’d name both skinny or fairly jacked, really. You have a look at it and go the place was everybody else on Tampa Seaside that day? The place was everybody else?
Was it like a thin particular person conference? What was occurring? And you then have a look at the figures. That’s what folks appear like within the 12 months that I used to be born. So between the 12 months I used to be born and the 12 months I turned 21, weight problems doubled in america. After which within the subsequent 20 years, extreme weight problems doubled once more, proper?
That is weird. You may have 300, 000 years the place human beings exist and there’s some weight problems. However it’s exceptionally uncommon. After which actually in my lifetime, weight problems blows up. Why? Why would that occur? Now, you may say everybody simply had a mass failure of willpower. There’s only a breakdown in willpower.
That doesn’t appear very [00:08:00] believable. And we now have superb analysis on this. And we now have analysis on willpower. and each its actuality and its limits. In actual fact, we all know why this occurred, as a result of it occurs, we all know why this bodily transformation in folks’s our bodies occur. It occurs in all places the place one change takes place.
It’s the place folks transfer from largely consuming a weight-reduction plan primarily based on contemporary entire meals they ready on the day, to largely consuming a weight-reduction plan of processed and extremely processed meals, which implies meals which are constructed in factories out of chemical compounds in a course of that isn’t even known as cooking, it’s known as manufacturing meals.
And it seems these processed and extremely processed meals have an effect on our our bodies in a extremely completely different solution to the previous form of meals, proper? And there’s a number of proof for this, and we are able to undergo numerous it intimately if you would like, and I am going by means of numerous it within the e book, however if you wish to perceive the guts of it, I believe you’ve obtained to know an experiment that to me simply nails it.
It was carried out by a scientist I interviewed known as Dr. Paul Kenny, and I’ve [00:09:00] nicknamed this experiment Cheesecake Park. That’s not the official title, proper? It’s a quite simple experiment. He’s the pinnacle of neuroscience at Mount Sinai in New York, and he obtained a load of rats and he raised them in a cage.
And all they needed to eat was the form of pure, entire meals that rats developed to eat over 1000’s of years. And when that’s all they needed to eat, the rats would eat after they have been hungry. And they’d cease after they have been full. So they’d some form of pure sign that simply mentioned, Hey guys, you’ve had sufficient, cease now.
In order that they by no means turned fats or chubby when that was the one meals supply they’d. Then Dr. Kenny launched them to the trendy American weight-reduction plan, get able to salivate. He fried up some bacon. He purchased some Snickers bars. Crucially, he purchased numerous cheesecake and the rats went loopy. for the American weight-reduction plan.
They might actually dive into the cheesecake and eat their means out and simply emerge simply fully slicked with cheesecake they usually ate and ate and ate and all this pure dietary knowledge that they’d had after they ate the previous type [00:10:00] of meals simply disappeared they usually all turned severely overweight.
Then Dr. Kenny tweaked the experiment once more in a means that feels to me a bit merciless as a former KFC addict. He took away all this American weight-reduction plan And left them with nothing however the wholesome meals and he was certain he knew what would occur. He thought they might eat extra of the wholesome meals than they’d firstly and this may show that publicity to the American weight-reduction plan will increase the variety of energy you eat in a day.
That’s not what occurred, Mike. What occurred is far weirder. As soon as they’d the American weight-reduction plan and it was taken away, they refused to eat something in any respect. It was like they now not acknowledged the wholesome meals as meals. They solely went again to consuming it after they have been actually ravenous to dying. Now, I might argue we’re all residing in a model of that Cheesecake Park experiment.
The meals we’re consuming is undermining our capacity to ever really feel full and get the sign from our physique saying, hey, cease consuming now, proper? Now, we didn’t select that, proper? Extra three 12 months previous American youngsters know what the McDonald’s M means than know their very own final title. They didn’t select that. I didn’t select that.
You didn’t select that. [00:11:00] 65 p.c of the energy the common American youngster eats in a day are from extremely processed meals. That’s not by selection. That’s undermining our capacity to really feel full from the second we’re born. And now you can willpower can play a job in correcting that. Like I say, it’s actual.
Everybody listening may have had the expertise of exercising willpower over one thing, proper? I almost had one other glass of espresso earlier than I did this podcast. I get it. I’ll really, I’ll simply, I’ll sound like a coke addict. I’ll be like Al Pacino on the finish of Scarface if I begin doing that. That was willpower, proper?
Willpower is actual. However you train willpower in a wider context and we’re current in a wider meals setting that’s systematically undermining our willpower.
Mike: And within the e book, Magic Tablet, you determined to attempt Ozempic. And the way did that have go? And notably, have been there any stunning unwanted side effects that you simply didn’t anticipate?
How did that have examine to what you have been anticipating?
Johann: [00:12:00] Getting in, I felt actually conflicted. I keep in mind so vividly the second I discovered concerning the existence of those medication. It was the winter of 2022. And it was that second on the finish of the pandemic when the world was opening up once more. And I obtained invited to a celebration and I used to be like, Oh, I keep in mind them.
Okay, let’s go. And I used to be in an Uber going to the get together. This get together was thrown by an Oscar profitable actor. I’m not saying that simply to call drop. It’s related to what occurred subsequent. I used to be sitting there and I out of the blue felt this type of wave of dread is simply too sturdy a phrase, however like self consciousness.
As a result of I believed, I used to be fairly fats firstly of the pandemic and I gained various weight throughout it. And I believed, oh, this can be a bit embarrassing. However then I out of the blue thought, wait a minute, the general public I do know gained weight through the pandemic. This get together goes to be actually attention-grabbing.
We’re simply going to all fake
Mike: prefer it didn’t occur.
Johann: I’m identical to Hollywood stars with a little bit of like flat on them. That is going to be fascinating. And I arrived and I walked round and it was the weirdest factor. [00:13:00] Not solely had none of them gained weight, they have been gone. Everybody was like a lot thinner than they’d been firstly of the pandemic.
And never simply the actors, just like the brokers, the screenwriters as companions, like I used to be like. Whoa. And I bumped right into a pal of mine on the dance ground and I mentioned to her. Wow, it appears like everybody actually did take up Pilates throughout lockdown and he or she laughed in my face and I used to be like, why are you laughing at?
And she or he pulled up on her cellphone and a picture of an Ozempic pen. And that was once I discovered, clearly I learn much more about it later, however that we, there’s been a staggering medical breakthrough. A few of these folks have described this as like a fad or a craze. It’s actually necessary folks perceive that is, there’s loads of issues we’re apprehensive about, however this isn’t a fad.
We now have a brand new drug. That offers folks a staggering quantity of weight reduction. The typical one who makes use of Ozempic Wigobi loses 15 p.c of their physique weight. The typical one who makes use of Menjaro, which is the following on this new class of revolutionary weight reduction medication, loses [00:14:00] 21 p.c of their physique weight.
And the following one that may come on-line in all probability early subsequent 12 months, Triple G, the common particular person loses 25 p.c of their physique weight, solely just a little bit beneath bariatric surgical procedure, staggering. And as quickly as I discovered this. I had two very sturdy contradictory ideas. The very first thing I believed was this might save my life.
As a result of, I used to be about to show 45, which is the age my grandfather was when he died of a coronary heart assault. A great deal of the lads in my household get coronary heart illness. My dad had horrible coronary heart issues, although he survived them. My uncle died of a coronary heart assault. As I say, my granddad died of them. And I knew then that weight problems makes coronary heart illness more likely.
Truly, makes worse or causes over 200 recognized medical circumstances. So I believed, whoa, there’s a drug that reverses or massively reduces weight problems. That’s a giant deal, however I additionally thought, wait a minute, this sounds means too good to be true. This simply can’t be [00:15:00] proper. So I ended up occurring a extremely huge journey all around the world from Iceland to Minneapolis to Japan to interview the main specialists on these medication, the most important defenders of the medication, the most important critics of the medication, and actually do a deep dive into what are the advantages and dangers right here.
And what’s this extraordinary. Revolution. This medical breakthrough going to imply for all of us. And naturally, as you mentioned, I took the drug myself, however I can’t actually analysis this with out taking it myself. So I took it as nicely.
Mike: And the way was that have once you took it and the way did it examine to expectations?
And what did you conclude or what did you study by means of that section of doing it? It’s 1 factor to examine analysis and to hearken to specialists and even to know the mechanisms of motion and so forth. And it’s one other factor to actually expertise it. And I’ve not skilled it. Most of the folks listening haven’t many individuals probably have, however for the various who haven’t, there in all probability are many who’ve thought-about or are contemplating.
Utilizing it and [00:16:00] I’ve in, in my expertise and what I’ve seen, there are lots of people who I might not suggest it to who’re utilizing it and a few folks I might suggest it to, however
Johann: yeah, it’s a extremely necessary query. 47 p.c of Individuals now need to take these medication partly as a result of everybody who takes them then turns into a form of strolling as commercial for the medication.
Persons are like, whoa, what occurred to Bob? It’s half. It’s half of Bob. The place did he go? He stole the opposite half. It’s, how does it really feel? There have been a number of ups and downs. The preliminary impact is. It was weird. So I keep in mind the second day after I’d taken Ozempe, I awakened and once I’m, I stay half the 12 months right here in London and I went to this diner up the road from the place I stay and I ordered what I used to order each morning for breakfast, which I’m embarrassed to say to somebody who’s as glowingly wholesome as you, however I, it was an enormous rooster sandwich with a great deal of rooster and mayo in it.
And usually I would love inhale that and nonetheless need some chips. And that [00:17:00] morning I had three mouthfuls. And I simply felt full. I didn’t need any extra. I believed that is bizarre. And that’s actually the way it was from then on. These medication make you’re feeling very full, very quick. So it’s not, take into consideration standard weight-reduction plan the place you’re hungry however you learn to deny your self this longing.
It’s not like that. It modifications what you need. Now, we all know a few of what’s occurring there. One of many bizarre issues about these medication is we don’t fully know the way they work, however there’s some issues we do know. So when you ate one thing now, Mike, doesn’t matter what it’s. After a short time, your pancreas will produce a hormone known as GLP 1.
GLP 1 is simply a part of your physique’s pure alerts going, Hey, Mike, you had sufficient. Cease consuming. It’s the breaks, mainly. However pure GLP 1 solely stays round in your system for a couple of minutes after which it’s washed away. What these medication do is that they inject you, or within the tablet kind they provide you, a synthetic type of GLP 1 that as a substitute of sticking round in your system for a couple of minutes, stays round in your system For a complete week, which implies once I begin to eat that rooster sandwich, [00:18:00] I’m already fairly near full.
So fairly shortly, the sign of, Hey, Johan, cease, you’ve had sufficient kicks in. So it produces, as I mentioned, dramatic quantity of weight reduction for me. I misplaced only a staggering quantity of slight, almost 20 p.c of my physique weight. I went from a BMI of, I believe it was 31 to BMI. 24, 23, one thing like that now. So a extremely dramatic shift.
In order that’s the primary and fast impact. You requested earlier than about unwanted side effects. I am going by means of within the e book 12 important dangers related to these medication, so long as large, alongside large advantages. I’m certain we’re going to unpick each, however the, when it comes to the dangers that I’m describing are completely different to the unwanted side effects, proper?
So the commonest facet impact by far is nausea. That most individuals. Virtually everybody, after they begin taking these medication, feels nauseous. For most individuals, it goes away fairly shortly. For me the very first day I used to be nauseous, it was like a gentle nausea, if I had randomly felt nauseous like that in the future, I wouldn’t have gone house and gone to mattress.
I might have simply carried on about my [00:19:00] day, however I might have felt just a little bit tough. From then on, each week once I injected myself, I felt mildly nauseous the following day and progressively that went away. And right here I’m, greater than a 12 months and a half later and I don’t, I’m nonetheless taking it for causes I can discuss, however I by no means get nauseous.
The nausea now. In order that’s commonest unwanted side effects together with a burping constipation. However I used to be separate that from the advantages of dangers.
Mike: Yeah. So minor unwanted side effects when it comes to brief time period. What you skilled then clearly. Tremendously offset by the manufacturing urge for food that then made it rather a lot simpler to take care of a calorie deficit, which most individuals listening are going to know that’s what drives weight reduction.
And that’s actually the good thing about it. And coming again to the willpower level that you simply spoke about simply so as to add a remark to that, For folks listening who’ve by no means actually struggled to drop some weight, as a result of in my expertise interacting with these folks, they don’t fairly perceive what it’s [00:20:00] prefer to, for instance, we are able to begin with simply being hungry on a regular basis.
And that may be a frequent expertise for individuals who have struggled with their weight for a very long time. Lots of these individuals are simply hungry on a regular basis. And for any person who has not skilled that, or doesn’t usually expertise that, They don’t perceive simply how tough that may be to take care of. And for folks listening who don’t usually expertise that, when you’ve ever dieted to get very lean, when you assume to that interval, particularly towards the top of that weight-reduction plan, you in all probability have been hungry.
So much, and also you have been experiencing cravings rather a lot. So now think about that was simply your default urge for food on a regular basis, no matter physique composition. And so the issue of willpower, even you’ll hear folks, even skilled bodybuilders discuss this, that when you get deep sufficient right into a weight-reduction plan and your urge for food reaches a sure, it crosses a sure threshold, it’s solely a [00:21:00] matter of time.
Till you lose the battle you could solely apply willpower irrespective of who you might be for thus lengthy till your urge for food wins. And so once more, individuals who play with their physique composition for a residing, they know that they usually plan for that of their weight-reduction plan and so forth.

Johann: Now, that’s such an necessary level. There have been a number of issues I discovered within the analysis of the e book that shocked me.
There’s an excellent professor it’s best to have on the podcast known as Professor Tracy Mann. I interviewed her in Minneapolis. Who’s been researching, she’s performed the perfect analysis on the, when do diets work and when do they not work? And it’s attention-grabbing, When she began researching this across the 12 months 2000, the proof was completely unambiguous on diets, diets work.
Enormous, many 1000’s of research demonstrating that diets work for the apparent motive that when you, such as you mentioned, when you burn extra energy than you devour, you drop some weight, that you simply’d need to deny the legal guidelines of physics to disclaim that, proper? When she checked out this in additional element, she seen virtually all of the analysis on the efficacy of diets checked out it.
Individuals who weight-reduction plan for 3 months, a few of them checked out six months. So mainly you lose numerous weight after which the folks doing the examine simply assume and you then stay fortunately ever after at that decrease [00:23:00] weight till you die, proper? Everybody listening will know individuals who dieted and can discover that’s not the fact of it.
Actually that’s what Professor Mann seen. I do know heaps of people that You recognize, this can be a bizarre timeframe to have a look at. So she then gathered all of the proof that had solely been about, I believe it was 24 research on the time that checked out dieters over two years, relatively than three months to 6 months.
And over the 2 12 months timeframe, what you discover may be very completely different. The overwhelming majority of individuals regain the load they’ve misplaced. Not everybody, and it’s necessary to notice, it’s not everybody. There’s a big minority, it’s about 15 to twenty p.c who don’t, however most individuals do. It’s attention-grabbing, what’s, why would that be?
What’s occurring there? And this pertains to a extremely attention-grabbing debate concerning the new, revolutionary new weight reduction medication. We’ve talked about how they’ve this impact, GLP 1, that has this impact in your pancreas and your intestine. So it was initially thought, what these medication do is that they simulate GLP 1 is a intestine hormone, so the impact of those medication have to be totally on the intestine.
They have to decelerate intestine motility, issues like that have to be how they work. [00:24:00] And so they do have that impact. However it’s more and more clear, and I interviewed the innovative neuroscientists on this, it’s more and more clear really these medication don’t work totally on the intestine, they work totally on the mind.
They alter what you need. There’s an enormous debate about how they alter the mind, and it’s frankly disconcerting to go and interview a number of actually good neuroscientists and go, what’s it doing to my mind? And so they go, yeah, we’re not likely certain. However one key concept, which I discovered fairly persuasive, though it’s contested, and there are different theories.
Compelling theories. One concept pertains to this query about weight-reduction plan failure. There’s some stuff we learn about weight-reduction plan that’s actually attention-grabbing. If you happen to return to the 60s, there was a concept that was developed about weight-reduction plan and simply physique weight extra usually, which was, it was generally known as set level concept.
So it comes out of your physique temperature. So if you consider physique temperature, it’s by an analogy along with your physique temperature, take into consideration your physique temperature. From once you’re born as a human being, you’ve got a set level to your physique temperature, proper? [00:25:00] If you happen to go above your physique needs to maintain you inside a really slender vary across the physique temperature that’s wholesome to your physique.
And we may have all had the expertise when you get above that physique temperature, your physique works actually arduous to carry you down. You begin sweating, you desperately need shade. And equally, in case your physique goes finally ends up beneath that physique temperature, your physique works very arduous to carry you again up, you shiver, you desperately need heat.
So your physique has a pure set level, it retains your temperature at a specific degree, and you may’t actually go exterior that vary for very lengthy with out your physique preventing again actually arduous. So within the 60s, they thought, by analogy, once you’re born, You’ve obtained a sure set level to your physique weight that’s simply mounted from once you’re, from beginning, proper?
And, it or just a little bit beneath it, however mainly you’re mounted. Then the weight problems disaster occurred starting within the late Seventies. And at first they thought, oh, we simply must throw out set level concept when it applies to weight, [00:26:00] proper? It simply doesn’t work as a result of in case your physique weight was set, how may it enhance a lot?
However then a extremely attention-grabbing adjustment to the science occurred for folks like Professor Michael Lowe at Drexel College, who I interviewed. What they, from wanting on the proof, what they started to understand is your physique does have a set level to your weight, however as your weight rises, your physique takes that larger set level as its new set level.
So let’s think about two equivalent twins, proper? You don’t need to think about, a British author known as Chris Von Tullochan, who’s a scientist who’s one in all equivalent twins within the second tip. Image two equivalent twins, one in all them positive aspects, 40 kilos. after which loses it. So once more, they give the impression of being the identical, proper?
However as you acquire weight, your physique fights to carry that larger weight. It slows down your metabolism. It makes you crave extra fatty meals. If you happen to have been ready by means of drive of willpower by means of a hardcore weight-reduction plan and train program to come back down, you’d really, as a result of your physique [00:27:00] is attempting to drive you again up, you’d need to eat considerably fewer energy than your equivalent twin to stay in even the identical weight, proper?
And I keep in mind once I first discovered this about set level concept. Considering I simply don’t see how that may be true, as a result of provided that weight problems is so unhealthy to your well being, why would nature endow us with one thing that was so dysfunctional, proper? Why wouldn’t it make us need to be overweight? But when you consider the circumstances the place human beings developed, it is sensible.
Within the circumstances the place human beings developed, the scenario we stay in now, the place you’ve got surplus energy to your entire life, extra energy than you may ever devour throughout you endlessly That by no means occurred, proper? Our evolution didn’t put together us for that situation. What did occur quite a bit within the circumstances the place human beings developed was a really completely different menace, which is famine.
It was fairly seemingly within the circumstances the place people developed that you simply have been in the end going to expire of meals. And if you consider weight problems in relation to that, it begins to make sense, proper? If you happen to image, if a famine comes alongside tomorrow, [00:28:00] me at my fattest would survive and timothy chalamet would die in week one proper and kate moss and i’d cry over their our bodies bury them in all probability eat them to be trustworthy and you recognize i’d nonetheless be standing proper so really within the circumstances the place we developed it made sense If you happen to discover surplus energy, devour them as a result of they ain’t going to final for lengthy.
And build up shops of fats will shield you for the famine that’s coming alongside. However our evolution is now getting ready us to guard us towards a famine that isn’t going to occur, proper? So we’ve ended up maladapted to the environment. And the explanation this pertains to the medication, aside from clearly explaining why diets fail typically, is one concept about what these medication do to your mind is that they reset your set level.
They decrease your set level. So when you now gained a load of weight please don’t, it will be a tragedy for gays and girls in all places. However when you did you’d discover it arduous to return, proper? Due to that adjustment in your set level and that change in [00:29:00] your metabolism, However one argument is what these medication could also be doing is definitely reducing your set level.
This can be a extra crude analogy than any of the scientists would use. However the way in which I started to think about it, it’s virtually like taking your iPhone again to the manufacturing facility settings, proper? It’s like reducing your set level. In order that’s one concept about what’s occurring right here. That’s definitely true about why diets fail.
And it’s a believable concept, however I wouldn’t take it additional than that for why the medication could have a few of that dramatic
Mike: impact. And simply to touch upon the purpose of diets that fail versus diets that don’t primarily based on not simply my understanding of related literature, but additionally what I’ve seen now, and lots of people through the years is there.
There are some commonalities among the many individuals who do efficiently get there by means of. I assume you may say willpower, however additionally they, they create their routine in order that it requires as little willpower as attainable with being particular about the kind of meals that you simply’re consuming and the macronutrient breakdown web macronutrient [00:30:00] composition of your weight-reduction plan, for instance, totally dropping extremely processed meals out of the weight-reduction plan, consuming a excessive protein weight-reduction plan being Conscientious about vegetable consumption and fruit consumption and in consuming much more servings, like getting as much as 68 servings of vegatables and fruits per day, even as far as, creating zucchini soup is a tip that I’ve shared that.
For some motive, zucchini, simply in my expertise with folks, appears to be notably filling. There’s simply numerous quantity to it, low calorie, turning that right into a soup. And after which on the train facet of issues, understanding how your physique responds to excessive depth versus low depth train.
And we may discuss analysis when it comes to how excessive depth versus low depth tends to have an effect on urge for food, however it may possibly fluctuate particular person by particular person. And so discovering out what kind of train for you tends to show your urge for food off, however numerous these methods once more, come again to the guts of the matter, which is urge for food.
A whole lot of these methods [00:31:00] are geared towards. Minimizing urge for food and what I’ve seen in individuals who have efficiently misplaced numerous weight and saved it off is that they used numerous these ways to create once more, a routine that not solely permits them to persistently drop some weight, however permits them to only hold urge for food.
Low and hold cravings low. So for some folks which means having small quantities of issues that they like simply giving themselves sufficient frequently for different folks. It’s having, perhaps there are particular treats which are allowed and different treats that aren’t allowed as a result of for no matter motive, it simply triggers one thing in the event that they go to get the ice cream, they’ll’t simply eat.
100 and fifty energy of ice cream as a result of it’s 4 spoons or no matter. So the, so ice cream is out, however darkish chocolate, for no matter motive, they’ll have 100 energy of darkish chocolate they usually really feel satiated. Once more, the purpose that only for folks listening is when you’ve got been scuffling with Shedding pounds and holding it off merely by means of weight-reduction plan and [00:32:00] train, and if it’s been notably a matter of urge for food and cravings, it might be that it’s worthwhile to get extra explicit concerning the particulars, and also you may need to micromanage the method just a little bit greater than another person who perhaps it’s for purely simply physiological causes.
There may very well be some genetic components in play, no matter. They don’t want to concentrate an excessive amount of to the small print. They’re simply extra excessive degree they usually eat sufficient protein. They don’t actually take note of the remaining they usually simply keep their calorie deficit and transfer on once more, bringing it again to those medication from what I’ve gathered is that they’re serving to many individuals expertise.
It’s a bit greater than you may obtain by means of simply weight-reduction plan and train, however expertise a bit extra of the method. That it could be a minority of individuals, however the individuals who would say, how arduous is it? It’s simply willpower. Simply cease consuming. It doesn’t matter as a result of once more, for them to realize the specified consequence that’s all it required.
Johann: Yeah, I [00:33:00] assume that’s a extremely necessary level. And I might undoubtedly say when you’re chubby and overweight or chubby or overweight, and also you’re listening to this, attempt to drop some weight by means of weight-reduction plan and train first. I doubt that there’s a single chubby or overweight particular person listening. I’ve not tried that, however like it’s best to undoubtedly.
Mike: Certain. Nonetheless, the way you go about it issues although that’s simply all I need folks to know is that there are numerous unhealthy diets on the market, sadly, that attempt with the sledgehammer and that’s all they’ve,
Johann: no, that’s a extremely necessary level. I might additionally say when you’ve tried weight-reduction plan and train they usually haven’t labored, what you now need to do.
A, there’s excellent news, which is there’s a staggering new software, which works very well at sure issues in these medication. But in addition I might say what you now need to do. is means too competing units of dangers if diets haven’t labored for you. The primary danger is the chance of continuous to be chubby or overweight.
And by the way in which, you don’t need to be massively fats for well being danger to kick in. Even simply at being barely chubby, the well being dangers begin to kick in. I’m [00:34:00] embarrassed to say this as a result of this will likely be gained’t be information to you, Mike, in any respect, however of all of the issues I discovered for the e book, the factor that the majority shocked me was actually wanting with a transparent eye at how unbelievably unhealthy to your weight problems really is.
Weight problems makes mainly all the things we worry medically. considerably extra seemingly. It makes you considerably extra prone to get dementia, makes you considerably extra prone to get most cancers, makes you considerably extra prone to have a stroke, which is the factor medical doctors most worry getting, makes you considerably extra prone to have a coronary heart assault, makes you considerably extra seemingly you’ll have a horrible previous age the place you may’t stroll, the place you’re in agony along with your knees, along with your hips simply throughout the board, it’s disastrous.
And we all know that once you reverse weight problems, you massively enhance well being outcomes. In case you have bariatric surgical procedure within the seven years that observe, you might be 56 p.c much less prone to die of a coronary heart assault. You might be 60 p.c much less prone to die of most cancers. [00:35:00] You’re 92 p.c much less prone to die of diabetes associated causes.
In actual fact, it’s so good to your well being. You’re 40 p.c much less prone to die in any respect in these seven years, proper? So there’s that set of dangers. You’ve obtained to weigh them towards the dangers of those medication. that are important. And I am going by means of within the e book 12 important dangers, which I need to clarify are completely different from the unwanted side effects, important dangers which are related to these medication.
And Totally different folks will make completely different calculations. Like I say, I’ve a protracted historical past of coronary heart illness in my household. The boys die younger. So for me, the truth that these medication cut back your danger of coronary heart assault or stroke by 20%, when you take them and also you began with a BMI larger than 27 was completely decisive for me, proper?
I used to be identical to, okay, I’m in. For different folks. That won’t be the best calculation. I don’t assume there’s a one measurement matches all steering on this. I believe folks, I hope, what I hope my e book Magic Tablet helps folks to do, in addition to, serving to to know how these medication make you’re feeling and all types of [00:36:00] issues, is, and the way they’re going to have an effect on the financial system, how they’re going to have an effect on the society, how we obtained right here, how we are able to get out of this dilemma of tourism being fats or being drugged.
I hope folks, offers me an opportunity to go down the record of, okay, what are the advantages, What are the dangers? What applies to me? Ought to I make this choice for myself or not?
Mike: Are you able to communicate to a number of the extra important of the 12 dangers? As a result of, that is, as the truth that there are dangers, there’s a little bit of controversy over, some folks roughly dismiss any such issues and attempt to promote the medication as, Principally all upside, no draw back.
Johann: I believe that’s very irresponsible. As Professor Karel Le Roux, who’s one of many scientists who labored on these medication mentioned to me, there are two varieties of medication. There are medication with unwanted side effects and there are medication that don’t work. You don’t get the advantages of medication with out dangers, proper?
There’s no such factor. It’s, it will be a infantile mind-set. So when it comes to the dangers, it’s necessary to emphasize. If you happen to ask scientists who’ve studied this intimately concerning the dangers, [00:37:00] usually what they are saying is definitely we all know quite a bit about these medication as a result of diabetics have now been taking them for almost 20 years, proper?
For individuals who don’t know, along with having this impact on urge for food, these medication additionally deal with kind 2 diabetes as a result of they stimulate the creation of insulin. So they are saying, look, diabetics have been taking them for 20 years. We’ve obtained various knowledge on diabetics. It’s a extremely necessary level and it ought to give us some degree of consolation that.
However another scientists mentioned, okay, if we’re going to base our confidence largely on the diabetics, let’s do a little bit of digging on the diabetics. So for instance, there’s a number one French scientist known as Professor Jean Luc Fayy on the College Hospital in Montpellier in France, who was commissioned by the French Medicines Company to look into the security of those medication.
So he went away, he appeared on the proof, and he began to have a look at the proof from kind 2 diabetics. It’s very primary. They’ve superb medical databases in France as a result of you may’t choose out of them. They don’t actually have the equal of HIPAA. He was actually [00:38:00] alarmed by one thing. So he in contrast utilizing these databases, teams of diabetics who soak up these medication.
with teams of diabetics who have been related in each different means, however had not taken these semaglutides. And what his analysis appeared to point is that when you took these medication, you have been considerably extra prone to develop thyroid most cancers. In actual fact you have been, the rise within the danger was actually, it was 50%, which once I heard that, I used to be like, whoa.
And he mentioned no, you’ve obtained to know that doesn’t imply when you take the drug, you’ve got a 50 p.c probability of getting thyroid most cancers. If that was the case, there’d be bonfires of ozempic all around the world. What it means is what, If he’s proper, and that is extremely contested, no matter your thyroid most cancers danger was firstly, it goes up by 50%.
Proper now, thyroid most cancers is a uncommon type of most cancers. 1. 2 p.c of individuals get it of their lifetime. 80 p.c of individuals survive it. Nonetheless, If he’s proper, once more, stress is contested, that’s a big enhance in a comparatively small danger. And there’s a [00:39:00] broader vary of dangers which are rising like this.
The most important factor that worries me is, pertains to consuming problems, and that doesn’t fear for me, fear me for myself, as a result of I’m not going to develop an consuming dysfunction, I’m extremely assured with that, however that worries me for lots of younger ladies, I can come again to that. However for me personally, the one which worries me most.
It’s that we simply don’t know the long run unwanted side effects, proper? We don’t know, nobody’s been taking them for greater than 20 years. And there’s an analogy that I need to stress. I’m not suggesting these medication may have this impact, however the analogy ought to assist us to consider a number of the dangers right here. So when you return to when anti psychotic medication have been first being given to folks within the late Nineteen Fifties, the early Nineteen Sixties, scientists on the time judged that the advantages of those medication outweighed the dangers.
And that was the perfect judgment name they’d primarily based on the proof they’d on the time. It was solely, what, 40, 45 years down the road that it was found If you happen to take these medication for a extremely very long time, you might be far more prone to get [00:40:00] dementia. Now, it’s not that the scientists within the 50s and 60s have been being negligent.
There was simply no means you may know that, proper? You needed to have folks take it for a extremely lengthy time frame. It’s attainable, now I’m not suggesting medication will trigger dementia, there’s no motive to consider that, but it surely’s simply attainable that there’ll be one thing that these medication do, particularly when you think about they primarily work by activating core elements of the mind, it’s attainable that additional down the road these medication may have some disastrous unwanted side effects and somebody will discover this podcast to go what for he was to take these medication.
Now, towards that, I might say, I believe rather a lot about one thing that Dr. Shauna Levy, who’s an weight problems specialist at Tulane College Faculty of Drugs in New Orleans mentioned to me, we don’t know the long run dangers of those medication, however we do know the long run dangers of weight problems. And successfully, the long run results of medication must be horrific to outweigh the long run dangers of weight problems.
Now, that could be the case, proper? However in order that for me was the, that’s the factor that the majority offers me pause. There’s been another stuff as nicely, however that’s, yeah, and there’s different issues I’m apprehensive about for different folks that I’m not as apprehensive about for myself.
Mike: You talked about [00:41:00] consuming problems and notably, I believe you mentioned in youthful ladies.
Johann: This can be a large drawback. So everybody, I’m guessing just about everybody listening has recognized somebody with, to call one of many greater consuming problems, anorexia, one of many extra frequent consuming problems.
Mike: Or some extent of orthorexia, fairly frequent within the health world particularly.
Johann: If you happen to have a look at somebody with anorexia, for instance, there’s a wrestle occurring inside them.
The organic a part of them that desires to stay and desires to eat. After which there’s the psychological a part of them that for sophisticated causes needs to starve themselves. And what these medication do when you take them at a excessive sufficient dose is they’ll simply amputate that organic a part of your self. They’ll simply minimize off the a part of you that desires to eat.
And for this reason Dr. Kimberly Dennis is likely one of the main consuming problems specialists in america. It is best to have her on as nicely. Nice particular person. It says, these medication are rocket gasoline for consuming problems. I’m actually apprehensive along with extraordinary advantages for folks like me, if we don’t tighten the regulation round these medication.
We’re going to [00:42:00] have an opioid like wave of dying toll, of deaths, of younger ladies, and consuming problems do exactly, are overwhelming the younger ladies. Clearly you get some boys, some older ladies, but it surely’s overwhelming the younger ladies, who’re capable of starve themselves to dying, who wouldn’t have been ready to do this had they not, had entry to those medication.
And the entry concern is a extremely huge deal for the time being as a result of look, I can see you, Mike, proper? You don’t qualify for these medication. It is best to, except you’re diabetic, kind 2 diabetes. If you happen to went to a physician for these medication, you shouldn’t be given them in response to the medical pointers. I assure you, you may cling up on me now.
And inside an hour, have a zoom name the place you’d get given these medication.
Mike: No, you’re not clearly not a danger supervisor. Just like TRT now exploding, you may simply say, I believe I’ve low testosterone up. Right here’s your script. Precisely.
Johann: Precisely. And that brings with it a complete different set of potential dangers.
So together with potential advantages. So you consider that, proper? So what Consuming problems specialists like Dr. Dennis say, and I strongly agree with them, [00:43:00] is we have to urgently tighten the regulation. Firstly, you shouldn’t be capable of get these medication on Zoom, as a result of how are you measuring folks’s BMI on Zoom, proper?
It’s meaningless. A, it’s best to get on Zoom. It is best to need to go in particular person to see a physician. That physician ought to weigh you and examine you. If you don’t meet the standards, you shouldn’t be given them. So when you’re not diabetic or chubby or overweight, you shouldn’t be given them. And they need to be skilled in recognizing folks with consuming problems and they need to refer you.
Now, that’s not excellent. You can get a pal to go and get it for you. There are leaky, there are holes in that, however that might save lots of people. So the way in which I take into consideration these medication, this can be a barely excessive means of placing it, however solely barely. These medication are such a robust software.
They’re like the invention of fireside, proper? Hearth is a superb software. If I take advantage of it to warmth up my home, it’s a extremely awful software. If I take advantage of it to burn down your own home in the identical means, this breakthrough is so staggering. It may be used for nice good and nice hurt, and it may possibly and will likely be used for each. So [00:44:00] we have to.
One of many issues I hope my e book is a form of probability for us to, we’re actually residing by means of a staggering scientific revolution. We’ve cracked the code of what controls human urge for food as one of many scientists who developed these medication. Put it to me, we actually must pause and take into consideration what that’s going to imply for our financial system, our society, our our bodies, ourselves, how we really feel about ourselves.
The e book known as Magic Tablet as a result of there’s 3 ways these medication may very well be magic, proper? The primary means is the obvious. It may simply clear up the issue of weight problems. I obtained to let you know, Mike, there are days it looks like that. My entire life I’ve overeaten. Now, as soon as per week I do a tiny little scratch in my leg.
I barely really feel it. I don’t overeat. I misplaced a shit load of weight. It’s thoughts blowing, proper? The second means it may very well be magic is far more disturbing. It may very well be like a magic trick. It may very well be just like the magician who reveals you a card trick whereas he picks your pocket. It may very well be that over time, 12 dangers related to these medication outweigh the advantages.
I don’t assume that’s the most definitely situation for most individuals, however you definitely can’t rule it out. The third means it [00:45:00] may very well be magic is definitely what I believe is the most definitely. Take into consideration the tales of magic that you simply and me grew up with. Take into consideration Aladdin, proper? You discover the lamp, you rub it, the genie seems, Robin Williams grants your needs, they usually come true, however by no means fairly in the way in which you anticipated.
There’s at all times cascading, unpredictable results to the magic, proper? Take into consideration Fantasia, take into consideration all these tales. We’re already seeing that. I take into consideration the results on the financial system, proper? Krispy Kreme shares are tanking. All of the quick meals corporations are already freaking out. Eating places commerce is de facto worrying.
In LA, there’s been an enormous run on jewelers as a result of so many individuals’s fingers have shrunk that their marriage ceremony rings don’t match them anymore. There’s gonna be all types of giant, Jeffrey’s Monetary simply did a report for the American airways. a couple of 12 months and a half in the past displaying, saying to them, you’re going to have to spend so much much less cash on jet gasoline fairly quickly as a result of the inhabitants is about to get rather a lot thinner and it takes, the heavier you might be, the more cash prices to extra jet gasoline you want.
So there’s going to be large implications to this that we have to actually deeply assume [00:46:00] by means of. There’s lots of people must be warned about and ready for. So yeah, I believe we actually want To consider this can be a nice second. This can be a scary second. That is all of these issues. And we have to honor the complexity of this.
Anybody who’s coming into this, simply going, yay, Ozempik or boo Ozempik is, I believe, lacking the far more attention-grabbing story that’s unfolding throughout us.
Mike: You talked about earlier that one thing else you mentioned within the e book. And I needed to observe up with a query on is let’s assume that there could also be commerce offs, but it surely’s largely.
The magic is usually constructive and we now have lots of people who’ve misplaced numerous weight and to some extent we’ve solved weight problems, at the least sufficient to, let’s say reverse the alarming pattern that the trajectory really it really begins to downtrend simply of simply BMI. And the place although, do you see.
The place issues may go [00:47:00] from there, the place we now have lots of people now who’re utilizing these medication and my understanding of primarily based on a few earlier interviews that I did is one of the simplest ways for folks to succeed long run with these medication is to whereas utilizing them, use that as a chance to begin to ingrain the habits that assist with pure weight upkeep and that might, that Embrace a number of the stuff I discussed beforehand, the identical forms of profitable little methods and ways that individuals use to weight-reduction plan efficiently with out using any medication, or perhaps the worst, they’re the, they use caffeine or one thing, or perhaps it’s a Fedrin, proper?
And so whereas they’re utilizing. Was that Baker or Govey or a few of these different two others that you simply talked about, they use that to now begin to simply get within the behavior of. Consuming in a sure means exercising in a sure means on a sure schedule. So then as soon as they attain their goal physique [00:48:00] composition, they’re capable of wean off the drug and keep a wholesome physique weight, a wholesome physique composition.
And that’s a variety. And in order that’s the perfect situation so far as I perceive it. Nonetheless, there are lots of folks and also you talked about that you simply’re nonetheless taking the drug and I needed to ask about that as nicely. And that is related to the earlier query. Many individuals who lose numerous weight after which they proceed taking the drug and are planning on taking it.
Kind of indefinitely or they’re they don’t they haven’t actually formalized a plan but of how they’re gonna get off the drug and keep a wholesome physique weight or a wholesome physique composition. And so wanting ahead to the long run. Let’s say we do have lots of people who. Have used it or utilizing the drug, have misplaced numerous weight, nice advantages, such as you talked about, however now we now have, how many individuals are even being projected?
I don’t even know what the numbers are we speaking? I’m guessing it’s projections into the [00:49:00] 9 figures of people who find themselves going to both have used or are at present utilizing the drug and is there any conceivable means that we are able to get it? To go that section and to the place now we don’t have 50 to, who is aware of, 70 p.c of our inhabitants having used or utilizing the drug and now have at the least capable of keep a big diploma of the well being advantages that we’ve skilled by means of that closely drugged face, however.
Johann: So partly the reply to your query is unknown as a result of there’s a giant debate about do these medication work after you cease taking them. So what the drug corporations say is completely not. They’re like statins or blood stress meds, when you take them they work, and once you cease, your ldl cholesterol or your blood stress return to what they have been earlier than.
So they are saying these medication imply you drop some weight when you take them, after which once you cease, your weight will return to what it was earlier than. And the drug [00:50:00] corporations have thus far one examine which does display this. The overwhelming majority of people that cease taking, I used to be then picked. WorkOV regained the overwhelming majority of their weight inside a 12 months.
Now, you need to be just a little bit skeptical of that as a result of the drug corporations clearly have a vested curiosity in us shopping for it from them endlessly. Nonetheless, these have been critical scientists who produced this examine and it does appear fairly respected. That’s the one proof we now have for the time being. We’ll have much more proof within the subsequent few years as a result of there’ll simply be heaps of people that take it after which cease both as a result of they get thrown off their insurance coverage or as a result of they’ll’t get it or as a result of they only cease for the explanations you give.
Anecdotally, I do know some individuals who took it. Misplaced a load of weight, modified their habits, and now appear to be sustaining a decrease weight, however they do appear to be a minority of the folks concerned. So we have to know extra about that. However I believe there’s a deeper layer at which we have to reply your query, since you’re completely proper.
To me, it comes proper again to the place we began with Cheesecake Park. We completely shouldn’t tolerate that our kids and grandchildren face a selection between a dangerous medical situation and taking a [00:51:00] dangerous set of medication. That’s not the selection that we now have to stay with. And if you wish to perceive why it’s not the selection we now have to stay with, I went to Japan for the e book.
Japan is the third richest nation on the planet, and it has virtually no weight problems in any respect. There are, greater than 40 p.c of Individuals are overweight, lower than 4 p.c of individuals in Japan are overweight. It has. actually virtually no childhood weight problems. It’s a bizarre factor. I went to Japanese faculties, you stroll round a college of a thousand youngsters and there’s not one single fats youngster in that faculty.
It’s bizarre. And also you hear that and also you assume it have to be that the Japanese folks gained the genetic lottery, proper? They have to simply genetically be much less prone to turn into fats. However we all know that’s not true as a result of within the late nineteenth century, a great deal of Japanese folks moved to Hawaii the place I used to be lately. And Japanese Hawaiians.
having been there now for 5 generations, are virtually as fats as everybody else in Hawaii, proper? So you progress, Japanese folks transfer to America and keep lengthy sufficient, they get as fats as different Individuals, proper? In order that’s not what’s taking place. It’s not, their genes can’t probably have developed that quickly in such a [00:52:00] brief time frame.
So there’s one thing in the way in which Japanese folks stay. And I went to see what it’s. They’ve concerted insurance policies of their faculties to show youngsters to solely eat and love wholesome meals. They don’t permit shitty processed meals to hijack their youngsters. They do all types of issues to do some issues that we completely wouldn’t do.
They’re unthinkable in our societies, however when you’re over the age of 40 in Japan, everybody will get weighed by their boss every year. And when you’re chubby, it’s a must to give you a plan along with your boss to carry your weight down. And as an organization, when you’ve got. fattening workforce. You get fined by the federal government.
So I went to see this. It was like, Whoa, it’s wild. And I used to be like so I used to be with all these Japanese individuals who have been like, Oh, we love this coverage of this firm. And I’m like, so when you did this within the U S we’d burn the workplace down. And so they’re going, however why being fats’s actually unhealthy. I’m identical to, it was like such a cultural hole.
It was fascinating. However yeah, so there’s some elements of Japanese tradition that we are able to’t assimilate, however many who we are able to, and [00:53:00] we completely ought to. Trigger this modification. Your grandparents weren’t overweight. My grandparents weren’t overweight, proper? Truly, two of mine have been, however they have been outliers of their technology.
And, this can be a very current change. We eat in a means that might have been unrecognizable to our nice grandparents. Inconceivable, really.
Mike: Yeah,
Johann: actually not possible. You’re precisely proper. We don’t have to only financial institution that. That we’ve been screwed over by the meals business as if that’s only a given, proper?
Japan is an actual place. It may well really feel a bit sci fi typically, however it’s a actual place. They didn’t permit it to be performed to them and their youngsters, proper? We are able to make that selection, too. And I speak very clearly within the e book about how we are able to do it and the way we get there. Within the meantime, for somebody like me, Look, I’m the place I’m.
I’m gonna make the selection I’ve gotta make. However we should always change the tradition within the society and the meals provide system such that not everyone seems to be trapped into making this considerably dangerous selection that I’ve needed to make.
Mike: Completely. And I completely agree and I might suggest that [00:54:00] folks get the e book and browse it and notably this a part of it, as a result of anyone, I’ve two youngsters and so this dialogue.
Personally, it’s a bit extra private for me. I’m not involved about myself however precisely. So the purpose that you simply’re making is I’ve been fairly conscientious about exposing my youngsters to what it means to eat comparatively unprocessed. What, how ought to we really be consuming and limiting their publicity to those different meals and so forth for all the explanations that you simply’ve talked about.
Johann: It’s humorous you say that as a result of I grew up in so the alternative setting. My mom is Scottish and it’s the nation that invented the deep fried Mars bar. If anybody has by no means had one, don’t do it. And it’s not a well being obsessed tradition. There’s {a photograph} of me and my mom once I’m six months previous, the place she’s breastfeeding me, smoking and resting the ashtray on my abdomen.
And when I discovered this picture just a few years in the past, I believed I ought to really feel responsible. I present it to her. She mentioned, You have been a tough child. I wanted that cigarette. So fully [00:55:00] unrepentant. So yeah, she was not eager about how will we get into zucchini soup? I believe if I gave zucchini soup to my mom, I believe she would punch me within the face.
Yeah,
Mike: that’s a, that’s really an amazing image. That one needs to be in a body.
Johann: I needed to place it within the e book. And she or he mentioned you’re not placing my tits in a e book. She mentioned, I’m very indignant about that as nicely.
Mike: That’s nice. That’s an amazing story. We’re arising on time. And and naturally the e book is magic tablet.
Folks can get it to wherever they prefer to get books. And is there anything that you simply want to inform them about wherever, social media or any, wherever the place you’re energetic?
Johann: If you happen to go to magic tablet e book. com, you may see the place to get the audio e book, the e book or the bodily e book. You’ll be able to see the place to observe me on social media.
I obtained in bother on the finish of a podcast some time again as a result of it was just a few years in the past. I used to be interviewed by a man who was about 50. And on the finish, he mentioned to me, what’s your Instagram? And I mentioned, he mentioned, what’s your Fb? And I mentioned, it, he mentioned they usually mentioned, what’s your Snapchat? And I mentioned, I’m a forty five [00:56:00] 12 months previous man.
