Johann: [00:00:00] These medicine are rocket gasoline for consuming issues. I’m actually nervous.

Johann: Hey, Mike. I used to be warning you off digicam that I’ve had an insane quantity of caffeine at the moment. 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 must minimize that clip and make that the one you’d perceive.
You’ll perceive.
Johann: It’s true. It’s what I’d have needed. I as soon as noticed Joan Rivers on stage. She stated 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 she or he was simply useless.
Mike: And now with social media and cell telephones, you may stay eternally.
It’s a really 2024 approach to go. How a lot caffeine are you as much as, by the way in which?
Johann: I think that my blood, should you did gave me a blood take a look at, I’m extra caffeine at this level, nevertheless it’s all high-quality. I’ve had a little bit of a mad day.
Mike: One of many, one of many guys who works with me once we had 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 yr of his life, Elvis had a health care provider who would come and inject caffeine straight into his veins each morning. And I used to be like, I would like 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 effectively.
Mike: Oh yeah. I didn’t consider that. You would possibly as effectively skip that. Simply go to the Hitler section. You need meth? You need, skip the caffeine. In the event you’re going to go intravenous, come on. Talking of injecting medicine we’re. That’s an excellent pivot. I prefer it.
That’s what we’re right here to speak about. Is is injecting medicine. We’re right here to speak about some glutide or ozempic as many individuals comprehend 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 wish to say, nuanced dialogue with you about, about the place the.
Analysis is at with this drug. And seeking to the longer term [00:06:00] of the place this would possibly go and the way it the way it would possibly affect society. Additionally a number of the security issues which have been introduced up. However I believe the place I needed to begin was a quote with of yours the place you stated the concept that 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 undecided that’s anyway. Willpower is actual and willpower performs a major position on this, however willpower is one a part of a a lot larger image. And if you wish to take into consideration that, I’d simply say everybody listening, pause this podcast and do one thing for me.
Simply take the identify of the closest seashore to the place you reside. So I’m guessing for you, Mike, it’s Tampa and simply Google pictures of that seashore. Within the yr that I used to be born, 1979, and simply take a look at them for a minute after which come again to us, proper? In the event you’ve finished that, you’ll discover one thing actually bizarre.
These folks don’t look [00:07:00] like us. In the event you take a look at pictures of seashores within the yr I used to be born, just about everybody, just about in all places on the earth, appears to be like what we might name both skinny or fairly jacked, really. You take 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 individual conference? What was occurring? And you then take a look at the figures. That’s what folks appear like within the yr that I used to be born. So between the yr I used to be born and the yr I turned 21, weight problems doubled in the US. After which within the subsequent 20 years, extreme weight problems doubled once more, proper?
That is weird. You’ve got 300, 000 years the place human beings exist and there’s some weight problems. But it surely’s exceptionally uncommon. After which actually in my lifetime, weight problems blows up. Why? Why would that occur? Now, you possibly can 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 have now superb analysis on this. And we have now analysis on willpower. and each its actuality and its limits. In truth, 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 principally consuming a weight loss plan primarily based on recent complete meals they ready on the day, to principally consuming a weight loss plan of processed and extremely processed meals, which implies meals which might be 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 approach to the previous form of meals, proper? And there’s plenty of proof for this, and we are able to undergo quite a lot of it intimately if you need, and I’m going via quite a lot of it within the e-book, however if you wish to perceive the center of it, I believe you’ve received to grasp 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 top of neuroscience at Mount Sinai in New York, and he received a load of rats and he raised them in a cage.
And all they needed to eat was the form of pure, complete meals that rats developed to eat over hundreds of years. And when that’s all they needed to eat, the rats would eat once they had been hungry. And they’d cease once they had been full. So that they had some form of pure sign that simply stated, Hey guys, you’ve had sufficient, cease now.
So that they by no means grew to become fats or obese when that was the one meals supply that they had. Then Dr. Kenny launched them to the trendy American weight loss plan, get able to salivate. He fried up some bacon. He purchased some Snickers bars. Crucially, he purchased quite a lot of cheesecake and the rats went loopy. for the American weight loss plan.
They’d actually dive into the cheesecake and eat their manner out and simply emerge simply fully slicked with cheesecake and so they ate and ate and ate and all this pure dietary knowledge that they’d had once they ate the previous variety [00:10:00] of meals simply disappeared and so they all grew to become severely overweight.
Then Dr. Kenny tweaked the experiment once more in a manner that feels to me a bit merciless as a former KFC addict. He took away all this American weight loss 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 that they had in the beginning and this may show that publicity to the American weight loss 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 that they had the American weight loss plan and it was taken away, they refused to eat something in any respect. It was like they not acknowledged the wholesome meals as meals. They solely went again to consuming it once they had been actually ravenous to loss of life. Now, I’d argue we’re all dwelling in a model of that Cheesecake Park experiment.
The meals we’re consuming is undermining our capability 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 yr previous American kids know what the McDonald’s M means than know their very own final identify. 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 typical American baby eats in a day are from extremely processed meals. That’s not by alternative. That’s undermining our capability to really feel full from the second we’re born. And now you can willpower can play a task in correcting that. Like I say, it’s actual.
Everybody listening can have had the expertise of exercising willpower over one thing, proper? I practically 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 atmosphere that’s systematically undermining our willpower.
Mike: And within the e-book, Magic Tablet, you determined to strive Ozempic. And the way did that have go? And significantly, had been there any shocking negative effects that you simply didn’t count on?
How did that have examine to what you had been anticipating?
Johann: [00:12:00] Stepping into, I felt actually conflicted. I keep in mind so vividly the second I discovered in regards to the existence of those medicine. 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 received 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 successful 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 instantly felt this sort of wave of dread is just too sturdy a phrase, however like self consciousness.
As a result of I believed, I used to be fairly fats in the beginning of the pandemic and I gained various weight throughout it. And I believed, oh, it is a bit embarrassing. However then I instantly thought, wait a minute, most people I do know gained weight throughout the pandemic. This get together goes to be actually fascinating.
We’re simply going to all faux
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 had been gone. Everybody was like a lot thinner than they’d been in the beginning 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 stated to her. Wow, it appears to be like like everybody actually did take up Pilates throughout lockdown and she or he 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 after 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 essential folks perceive that is, there’s loads of issues we’re nervous about, however this isn’t a fad.
We now have a brand new drug. That offers folks a staggering quantity of weight reduction. The common one who makes use of Ozempic Wigobi loses 15 p.c of their physique weight. The common one who makes use of Menjaro, which is the subsequent on this new class of revolutionary weight reduction medicine, loses [00:14:00] 21 p.c of their physique weight.
And the subsequent one that can come on-line in all probability early subsequent yr, Triple G, the typical individual loses 25 p.c of their physique weight, solely somewhat 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 identified medical circumstances. So I believed, whoa, there’s a drug that reverses or massively reduces weight problems. That’s an enormous deal, however I additionally thought, wait a minute, this sounds manner too good to be true. This simply can’t be [00:15:00] proper. So I ended up occurring a extremely large journey all around the world from Iceland to Minneapolis to Japan to interview the main specialists on these medicine, the largest defenders of the medicine, the largest critics of the medicine, 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 stated, I took the drug myself, however I can’t actually analysis this with out taking it myself. So I took it as effectively.
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 be taught via that section of doing it? It’s 1 factor to examine analysis and to take heed to specialists and even to grasp 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’d not suggest it to who’re utilizing it and a few folks I’d suggest it to, however
Johann: yeah, it’s a extremely essential query. 47 p.c of Individuals now wish to take these medicine partly as a result of everybody who takes them then turns into a form of strolling as commercial for the medicine.
Individuals 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 plenty 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 wakened and after I’m, I stay half the yr 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 medicine 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 discover ways 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 medicine is we don’t totally know the way they work, however there’s some issues we do know. So should you ate one thing now, Mike, doesn’t matter what it’s. After a short while, your pancreas will produce a hormone known as GLP 1.
GLP 1 is simply a part of your physique’s pure indicators 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 medicine do is that they inject you, or within the tablet type they provide you, a man-made 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 after I begin to eat that rooster sandwich, [00:18:00] I’m already fairly near full.
So fairly rapidly, the sign of, Hey, Johan, cease, you’ve had sufficient kicks in. So it produces, as I stated, dramatic quantity of weight reduction for me. I misplaced only a staggering quantity of slight, practically 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 negative effects. I’m going via within the e-book 12 vital dangers related to these medicine, 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 negative effects, proper?
So the commonest aspect impact by far is nausea. That most individuals. Virtually everybody, once they begin taking these medicine, feels nauseous. For most individuals, it goes away fairly rapidly. 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 dwelling and gone to mattress.
I’d have simply carried on about my [00:19:00] day, however I’d have felt somewhat bit tough. From then on, each week after I injected myself, I felt mildly nauseous the subsequent day and progressively that went away. And right here I’m, greater than a yr 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 negative effects together with a burping constipation. However I used to be separate that from the advantages of dangers.
Mike: Yeah. So minor negative effects when it comes to brief time period. What you skilled then clearly. Drastically offset by the manufacturing urge for food that then made it loads simpler to keep up a calorie deficit, which most individuals listening are going to grasp that’s what drives weight reduction.
And that’s actually the advantage of 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 shed pounds, as a result of in my expertise interacting with these folks, they don’t fairly perceive what it’s [00:20:00] wish to, for instance, we are able to begin with simply being hungry on a regular basis.
And that could be a frequent expertise for individuals who have struggled with their weight for a very long time. A lot of these persons are simply hungry on a regular basis. And for anyone who has not skilled that, or doesn’t usually expertise that, They don’t perceive simply how tough that may be to cope with. And for folks listening who don’t usually expertise that, should you’ve ever dieted to get very lean, should you assume to that interval, particularly towards the top of that weight loss plan, you in all probability had been hungry.
Lots, and also you had been experiencing cravings loads. 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 after you get deep sufficient right into a weight loss 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 can solely apply willpower irrespective of who you’re for therefore lengthy till your urge for food wins. And so once more, individuals who play with their physique composition for a dwelling, they know that and so they plan for that of their weight-reduction plan and so forth.

Johann: Now, that’s such an essential level. There have been plenty of issues I discovered within the analysis of the e-book that shocked me.
There’s an excellent professor you need to have on the podcast known as Professor Tracy Mann. I interviewed her in Minneapolis. Who’s been researching, she’s finished the very best analysis on the, when do diets work and when do they not work? And it’s fascinating, When she began researching this across the yr 2000, the proof was completely unambiguous on diets, diets work.
Large, many hundreds of research demonstrating that diets work for the plain purpose that should you, such as you stated, should you burn extra energy than you devour, you shed pounds, 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 observed nearly all of the analysis on the efficacy of diets checked out it.
Individuals who weight loss plan for 3 months, a few of them checked out six months. So mainly you lose quite a lot of weight after which the folks doing the research 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.
Definitely that’s what Professor Mann observed. I do know heaps of people that , it is a bizarre time-frame to take 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, moderately than three months to 6 months.
And over the 2 yr timeframe, what you discover could be very completely different. The overwhelming majority of individuals regain the load they’ve misplaced. Not everybody, and it’s essential to notice, it’s not everybody. There’s a major minority, it’s about 15 to twenty p.c who don’t, however most individuals do. It’s fascinating, what’s, why would that be?
What’s occurring there? And this pertains to a extremely fascinating debate in regards to the new, revolutionary new weight reduction medicine. 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 medicine do is that they simulate GLP 1 is a intestine hormone, so the impact of those medicine should be totally on the intestine.
They need to decelerate intestine motility, issues like that should be how they work. [00:24:00] They usually do have that impact. But it surely’s more and more clear, and I interviewed the innovative neuroscientists on this, it’s more and more clear really these medicine don’t work totally on the intestine, they work totally on the mind.
They modify what you need. There’s an enormous debate about how they modify the mind, and it’s frankly disconcerting to go and interview plenty of actually good neuroscientists and go, what’s it doing to my mind? They usually go, yeah, we’re probably not certain. However one key idea, which I discovered fairly persuasive, though it’s contested, and there are different theories.
Compelling theories. One idea pertains to this query about weight loss plan failure. There’s some stuff we learn about weight-reduction plan that’s actually fascinating. In the event you return to the 60s, there was a idea that was developed about weight-reduction plan and simply physique weight extra usually, which was, it was often known as set level idea.
So it comes out of your physique temperature. So if you consider physique temperature, it’s by an analogy together with your physique temperature, take into consideration your physique temperature. From once you’re born as a human being, you might have a set level to your physique temperature, proper? [00:25:00] In the event you go above your physique desires to maintain you inside a really slim vary across the physique temperature that’s wholesome to your physique.
And we can have all had the expertise should you get above that physique temperature, your physique works actually exhausting 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 exhausting 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 selected degree, and you’ll’t actually go outdoors that vary for very lengthy with out your physique combating again actually exhausting. So within the 60s, they thought, by analogy, once you’re born, You’ve received a sure set level to your physique weight that’s simply fastened from once you’re, from beginning, proper?
And, it or somewhat bit beneath it, however mainly you’re fastened. Then the weight problems disaster occurred starting within the late Nineteen Seventies. And at first they thought, oh, we simply have to throw out set level idea 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 fascinating 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 comprehend is your physique does have a set level to your weight, however as your weight rises, your physique takes that increased set level as its new set level.
So let’s think about two similar twins, proper? You don’t need to think about, a British author known as Chris Von Tullochan, who’s a scientist who’s certainly one of similar twins within the second tip. Image two similar twins, certainly one of them positive aspects, 40 kilos. after which loses it. So once more, they appear the identical, proper?
However as you acquire weight, your physique fights to carry that increased weight. It slows down your metabolism. It makes you crave extra fatty meals. In the event you had been ready via pressure of willpower via a hardcore weight loss 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 similar twin to stay in even the identical weight, proper?
And I keep in mind after I first discovered this about set level idea. Pondering I simply don’t see how that may be true, as a result of provided that weight problems is so dangerous to your well being, why would nature endow us with one thing that was so dysfunctional, proper? Why wouldn’t it make us wish 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 might have surplus energy to your complete life, extra energy than you may ever devour throughout you eternally That by no means occurred, proper? Our evolution didn’t put together us for that state of affairs. What did occur rather a lot within the circumstances the place human beings developed was a really completely different risk, which is famine.
It was fairly possible within the circumstances the place people developed that you simply had been eventually going to expire of meals. And if you consider weight problems in relation to that, it begins to make sense, proper? In the event you 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 might cry over their our bodies bury them in all probability eat them to be sincere and you recognize i might nonetheless be standing proper so really within the circumstances the place we developed it made sense In the event you 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 making ready us to guard us in opposition to 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 medicine, other than clearly explaining why diets fail typically, is one idea about what these medicine do to your mind is that they reset your set level.
They decrease your set level. So should you now gained a load of weight please don’t, it will be a tragedy for gays and ladies in all places. However should you did you’d discover it exhausting 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 medicine could also be doing is definitely decreasing your set level.
It is a extra crude analogy than any of the scientists would use. However the way in which I started to consider it, it’s nearly like taking your iPhone again to the manufacturing facility settings, proper? It’s like decreasing your set level. In order that’s one idea about what’s occurring right here. That’s actually true about why diets fail.
And it’s a believable idea, however I wouldn’t take it additional than that for why the medicine 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 via. I assume you possibly can say willpower, however in addition they, they create their routine in order that it requires as little willpower as doable with being particular about the kind of meals that you simply’re consuming and the macronutrient breakdown internet macronutrient [00:30:00] composition of your weight loss plan, for instance, totally dropping extremely processed meals out of the weight loss plan, consuming a excessive protein weight loss plan being Conscientious about vegetable consumption and fruit consumption and in consuming much more servings, like getting as much as 68 servings of fruit and veggies per day, even as far as, creating zucchini soup is a tip that I’ve shared that.
For some purpose, zucchini, simply in my expertise with folks, appears to be significantly filling. There’s simply quite a lot of quantity to it, low calorie, turning that right into a soup. And after which on the train aspect 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 well differ particular person by particular person. And so discovering out what kind of train for you tends to show your urge for food off, however quite a lot of these methods once more, come again to the center 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 quite a lot of weight and stored it off is that they used quite a lot of these techniques to create once more, a routine that not solely permits them to persistently shed pounds, however permits them to only maintain urge for food.
Low and maintain 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, possibly there are particular treats which might be allowed and different treats that aren’t allowed as a result of for no matter purpose, it simply triggers one thing in the event that they go to get the ice cream, they will’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 purpose, they will have 100 energy of darkish chocolate and so they really feel satiated. Once more, the purpose that only for folks listening is in case you have been scuffling with Losing a few pounds and holding it off merely via weight loss plan and [00:32:00] train, and if it’s been significantly a matter of urge for food and cravings, it could be that it’s essential to get extra explicit in regards to the particulars, and also you might need to micromanage the method somewhat bit greater than another person who possibly it’s for purely simply physiological causes.
There could possibly be some genetic components in play, no matter. They don’t want to concentrate an excessive amount of to the main points. They’re simply extra excessive degree and so they eat sufficient protein. They don’t actually take note of the remaining and so they simply keep their calorie deficit and transfer on once more, bringing it again to those medicine from what I’ve gathered is that they’re serving to many individuals expertise.
It’s a bit greater than you possibly can obtain via simply weight loss 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 exhausting 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 essential level. And I’d positively say should you’re obese and overweight or obese or overweight, and also you’re listening to this, attempt to shed pounds via weight loss plan and train first. I doubt that there’s a single obese or overweight individual listening. I’ve not tried that, however like you need to positively.
Mike: Positive. Nevertheless, the way you go about it issues although that’s simply all I would like folks to know is that there are quite a lot of dangerous diets on the market, sadly, that strive with the sledgehammer and that’s all they’ve,
Johann: no, that’s a extremely essential level. I’d additionally say should you’ve tried weight loss plan and train and so they haven’t labored, what you now need to do.
A, there’s excellent news, which is there’s a staggering new instrument, which works rather well at sure issues in these medicine. But additionally I’d say what you now need to do. is manner too competing units of dangers if diets haven’t labored for you. The primary danger is the danger of continuous to be obese 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 obese, the well being dangers begin to kick in. I’m [00:34:00] embarrassed to say this as a result of this shall 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 almost all shocked me was actually wanting with a transparent eye at how unbelievably dangerous to your weight problems really is.
Weight problems makes mainly every part we concern medically. considerably extra possible. It makes you considerably extra more likely to get dementia, makes you considerably extra more likely to get most cancers, makes you considerably extra more likely to have a stroke, which is the factor docs most concern getting, makes you considerably extra more likely to have a coronary heart assault, makes you considerably extra possible you’ll have a horrible previous age the place you may’t stroll, the place you’re in agony together with your knees, together 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. When you have bariatric surgical procedure within the seven years that comply with, you’re 56 p.c much less more likely to die of a coronary heart assault. You might be 60 p.c much less more likely to die of most cancers. [00:35:00] You’re 92 p.c much less more likely to die of diabetes associated causes.
In truth, it’s so good to your well being. You’re 40 p.c much less more likely to die in any respect in these seven years, proper? So there’s that set of dangers. You’ve received to weigh them in opposition to the dangers of those medicine. that are vital. And I’m going via within the e-book 12 vital dangers, which I wish to clarify are completely different from the negative effects, vital dangers which might be related to these medicine.
And Completely different folks will make completely different calculations. Like I say, I’ve an extended historical past of coronary heart illness in my household. The lads die younger. So for me, the truth that these medicine scale back your danger of coronary heart assault or stroke by 20%, should you take them and also you began with a BMI increased 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 appropriate 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 grasp how these medicine 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 received right here, how we are able to get out of this dilemma of tourism being fats or being drugged.
I hope folks, provides 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 converse to a number of the extra vital 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 kind of dismiss any such issues and attempt to promote the medicine as, Mainly 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 medicine stated to me, there are two sorts of medication. There are medicine with negative effects and there are medicine 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 essential to emphasize. In the event you ask scientists who’ve studied this intimately in regards to the dangers, [00:37:00] usually what they are saying is definitely we all know rather a lot about these medicine as a result of diabetics have now been taking them for practically 20 years, proper?
For individuals who don’t know, along with having this impact on urge for food, these medicine 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 received various information on diabetics. It’s a extremely essential level and it ought to give us some degree of consolation that.
However another scientists stated, 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 medicine.
So he went away, he appeared on the proof, and he began to take 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 decide 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 medicine.
with teams of diabetics who had been comparable in each different manner, however had not taken these semaglutides. And what his analysis appeared to point is that should you took these medicine, you had been considerably extra more likely to develop thyroid most cancers. In truth you had been, the rise within the danger was actually, it was 50%, which after I heard that, I used to be like, whoa.
And he stated no, you’ve received to grasp that doesn’t imply should you take the drug, you might have 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 in the beginning, 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 major enhance in a comparatively small danger. And there’s a [00:39:00] broader vary of dangers which might be rising like this.
The largest factor that worries me is, pertains to consuming issues, 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 negative effects, proper? We don’t know, nobody’s been taking them for greater than 20 years. And there’s an analogy that I wish to stress. I’m not suggesting these medicine can have this impact, however the analogy ought to assist us to consider a number of the dangers right here. So should you return to when anti psychotic medicine had been first being given to folks within the late Fifties, the early Sixties, scientists on the time judged that the advantages of those medicine outweighed the dangers.
And that was the very best judgment name that they had primarily based on the proof that they had on the time. It was solely, what, 40, 45 years down the road that it was found In the event you take these medicine for a extremely very long time, you’re far more more likely to get [00:40:00] dementia. Now, it’s not that the scientists within the 50s and 60s had been being negligent.
There was simply no manner you possibly can know that, proper? You needed to have folks take it for a extremely lengthy time period. It’s doable, now I’m not suggesting medicine will trigger dementia, there’s no purpose to consider that, nevertheless it’s simply doable that there’ll be one thing that these medicine do, particularly when you think about they primarily work by activating core facets of the mind, it’s doable that additional down the road these medicine can have some disastrous negative effects and somebody will discover this podcast to go what for he was to take these medicine.
Now, in opposition to that, I’d say, I believe loads about one thing that Dr. Shauna Levy, who’s an weight problems specialist at Tulane College Faculty of Medication in New Orleans stated to me, we don’t know the long run dangers of those medicine, 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 almost all provides me pause. There’s been another stuff as effectively, however that’s, yeah, and there’s different issues I’m nervous about for different people who I’m not as nervous about for myself.
Mike: You talked about [00:41:00] consuming issues and significantly, I believe you stated in youthful girls.
Johann: It is a large downside. So everybody, I’m guessing just about everybody listening has identified somebody with, to call one of many larger consuming issues, anorexia, one of many extra frequent consuming issues.
Mike: Or some extent of orthorexia, fairly frequent within the health world specifically.
Johann: In the event you take a look at somebody with anorexia, for instance, there’s a wrestle occurring inside them.
The organic a part of them that wishes to stay and desires to eat. After which there’s the psychological a part of them that for classy causes desires to starve themselves. And what these medicine do should you take them at a excessive sufficient dose is they will simply amputate that organic a part of your self. They’ll simply minimize off the a part of you that wishes to eat.
And for this reason Dr. Kimberly Dennis is without doubt one of the main consuming issues specialists in the US. You must have her on as effectively. Nice individual. It says, these medicine are rocket gasoline for consuming issues. I’m actually nervous along with extraordinary advantages for folks like me, if we don’t tighten the regulation round these medicine.
We’re going to [00:42:00] have an opioid like wave of loss of life toll, of deaths, of younger ladies, and consuming issues just do, are overwhelming the younger ladies. Clearly you get some boys, some older girls, nevertheless it’s overwhelming the younger ladies, who’re in a position to starve themselves to loss of life, who wouldn’t have been ready to try this had they not, had entry to those medicine.
And the entry subject is a extremely large deal in the intervening time as a result of look, I can see you, Mike, proper? You don’t qualify for these medicine. You must, except you’re diabetic, kind 2 diabetes. In the event you went to a health care provider for these medicine, you shouldn’t be given them based on the medical pointers. I assure you, you possibly can cling up on me now.
And inside an hour, have a zoom name the place you’d get given these medicine.
Mike: No, you’re not clearly not a danger supervisor. Much 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 issues 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 in a position to get these medicine on Zoom, as a result of how are you measuring folks’s BMI on Zoom, proper?
It’s meaningless. A, you need to get on Zoom. You must need to go in individual to see a health care provider. That physician ought to weigh you and verify you. If you don’t meet the standards, you shouldn’t be given them. So should you’re not diabetic or obese or overweight, you shouldn’t be given them. And they need to be educated in recognizing folks with consuming issues 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 medicine, it is a barely excessive manner of placing it, however solely barely. These medicine are such a robust instrument.
They’re like the invention of fireside, proper? Fireplace is a superb instrument. If I take advantage of it to warmth up my home, it’s a extremely awful instrument. If I take advantage of it to burn down your own home in the identical manner, this breakthrough is so staggering. It may be used for nice good and nice hurt, and it may well and shall 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 dwelling via a staggering scientific revolution. We’ve cracked the code of what controls human urge for food as one of many scientists who developed these medicine. Put it to me, we actually have to 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 is named Magic Tablet as a result of there’s 3 ways these medicine could possibly be magic, proper? The primary manner is the obvious. It may simply clear up the issue of weight problems. I received to let you know, Mike, there are days it appears like that. My complete 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 manner it could possibly be magic is way more disturbing. It could possibly be like a magic trick. It could possibly be just like the magician who reveals you a card trick whereas he picks your pocket. It could possibly be that over time, 12 dangers related to these medicine outweigh the advantages.
I don’t assume that’s the most definitely state of affairs for most individuals, however you actually can’t rule it out. The third manner it [00:45:00] could possibly 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, and so they come true, however by no means fairly in the way in which you anticipated.
There’s all the time 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 basically worrying.
In LA, there’s been an enormous run on jewelers as a result of so many individuals’s fingers have shrunk that their wedding ceremony rings don’t match them anymore. There’s gonna be all types of big, Jeffrey’s Monetary simply did a report for the American airways. a couple of yr and a half in the past exhibiting, 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 loads thinner and it takes, the heavier you’re, the extra money 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] via. There’s lots of people should be warned about and ready for. So yeah, I believe we actually want To consider it is a nice second. It is 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 way more fascinating 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 comply with up with a query on is let’s assume that there could also be commerce offs, nevertheless it’s principally.
The magic is usually constructive and we have now lots of people who’ve misplaced quite a lot of weight and to a point we’ve solved weight problems, a minimum of sufficient to, let’s say reverse the alarming development 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 have now lots of people now who’re utilizing these medicine and my understanding of primarily based on a few earlier interviews that I did is one of the best ways for folks to succeed long run with these medicine is to whereas utilizing them, use that as a possibility to begin to ingrain the habits that assist with pure weight upkeep and that might, that Embody a number of the stuff I discussed beforehand, the identical kinds of profitable little methods and techniques that individuals use to weight loss plan efficiently with out using any medicine, or possibly the worst, they’re the, they use caffeine or one thing, or possibly 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 manner exercising in a sure manner on a sure schedule. So then as soon as they attain their goal physique [00:48:00] composition, they’re in a position to wean off the drug and keep a wholesome physique weight, a wholesome physique composition.
And that’s a spread. And in order that’s the best state of affairs so far as I perceive it. Nevertheless, 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 effectively. And that is related to the earlier query. Many individuals who lose quite a lot of 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 longer term. Let’s say we do have lots of people who. Have used it or utilizing the drug, have misplaced quite a lot of weight, nice advantages, such as you talked about, however now we have now, 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 the moment utilizing the drug and is there any conceivable manner 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 still have a minimum of in a position to keep a big diploma of the well being advantages that we’ve skilled via that closely drugged face, however.
Johann: So partly the reply to your query is unknown as a result of there’s an enormous debate about do these medicine work after you cease taking them. So what the drug corporations say is totally not. They’re like statins or blood strain meds, whilst you take them they work, and once you cease, your ldl cholesterol or your blood strain return to what they had been earlier than.
So they are saying these medicine imply you shed pounds whilst 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 to this point one research 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 yr.
Now, you wish to be somewhat bit skeptical of that as a result of the drug corporations clearly have a vested curiosity in us shopping for it from them eternally. Nonetheless, these had been critical scientists who produced this research and it does appear fairly respected. That’s the one proof we have now in the intervening time. 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 will’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 mustn’t tolerate that our kids and grandchildren face a alternative between a dangerous medical situation and taking a [00:51:00] dangerous set of medication. That’s not the selection that we have now to stay with. And if you wish to perceive why it’s not the selection we have now to stay with, I went to Japan for the e-book.
Japan is the third richest nation on the earth, and it has nearly 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 nearly no childhood weight problems. It’s a bizarre factor. I went to Japanese faculties, you stroll round a college of a thousand kids and there’s not one single fats baby in that faculty.
It’s bizarre. And also you hear that and also you assume it should be that the Japanese folks gained the genetic lottery, proper? They need to simply genetically be much less more likely to change 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 nearly 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 occurring. It’s not, their genes can’t probably have developed that quickly in such a [00:52:00] brief time period.
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 kids 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 should you’re obese, you need to provide you with a plan together with your boss to carry your weight down. And as an organization, in case you have. 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 had been like, Oh, we love this coverage of this firm. And I’m like, so should you did this within the U S we might burn the workplace down. They usually’re going, however why being fats’s actually dangerous. I’m identical to, it was like such a cultural hole.
It was fascinating. However yeah, so there’s some facets 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 transformation. Your grandparents weren’t overweight. My grandparents weren’t overweight, proper? Truly, two of mine had been, however they had been outliers of their era.
And, it is a very latest change. We eat in a manner that might have been unrecognizable to our nice grandparents. Unimaginable, really.
Mike: Yeah,
Johann: actually inconceivable. 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 will probably really feel a bit sci fi generally, however it’s a actual place. They didn’t permit it to be finished to them and their youngsters, proper? We are able to make that alternative, too. And I discuss 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 must 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 alternative that I’ve needed to make.
Mike: Completely. And I completely agree and I’d suggest that [00:54:00] folks get the e-book and skim it and significantly 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 other atmosphere. 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 after 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 stated, You had been a tough child. I wanted that cigarette. So fully [00:55:00] unrepentant. So yeah, she was not occupied with 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 ideal image. That one ought to be in a body.
Johann: I needed to place it within the e-book. And she or he stated you’re not placing my tits in a e-book. She stated, I’m very offended about that as effectively.
Mike: That’s nice. That’s an ideal story. We’re arising on time. And and naturally the e-book is magic tablet.
Folks can get it to wherever they wish to get books. And is there the rest that you simply wish to inform them about anyplace, social media or any, anyplace the place you’re lively?
Johann: In the event you 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 possibly can see the place to comply with me on social media.
I received 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 stated to me, what’s your Instagram? And I stated, he stated, what’s your Fb? And I stated, it, he stated and so they stated, what’s your Snapchat? And I stated, I’m a forty five [00:56:00] yr previous man.
The one 45 yr previous males on Snapchat are positively pedophiles. Why else are they there? And he didn’t chortle. And I’ve this very dangerous behavior. If. If I inform a joke and somebody doesn’t chortle, I double down on the joke. And I stated, that present to catch a predator the place they catfish pedophiles. I stated, the subsequent season of to catch a predator ought to simply be, they go as much as grownup males on the street and say, what’s your Snapchat profile?
