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

Johann: Hey, Mike. I used to be warning you off digicam that I’ve had an insane quantity of caffeine right now. I’ve principally 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 reduce that clip and make that the one you’d perceive.
You’d perceive.
Johann: It’s true. It’s what I might have wished. 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 lifeless.
Mike: And now with social media and cell telephones, you’ll be able to reside ceaselessly.
It’s a really 2024 strategy to go. How a lot caffeine are you as much as, by the way in which?
Johann: I believe that my blood, in the event you did gave me a blood take a look at, I’m extra caffeine at this level, nevertheless it’s all advantageous. I’ve had a little bit of a mad day.
Mike: One of many, one of many guys who works with me once we have been all within the workplace collectively earlier than COVID, we went distant at that time, however he would commonly devour most likely 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 immediately into his veins each morning. And I used to be like, I want that physician. And my buddy 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 may as nicely skip that. Simply go to the Hitler part. You need meth? You need, skip the caffeine. In case 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 realize it. And that is one thing that I’ve spoken a bit about it. I’ve written a bit about it, however I wished to have a little bit of a distinct dialogue and extra, as they prefer to say, nuanced dialogue with you about, about the place the.
Analysis is at with this drug. And trying to the longer term [00:06:00] of the place this may go and the way it the way it may impression society. Additionally taking a look at a few of the security considerations which were introduced up. However I feel the place I wished to begin was a quote with of yours the place you stated 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 major 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 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 case you’ve accomplished that, you’ll discover one thing actually bizarre.
These folks don’t look [00:07:00] like us. In case you take a look at images of seashores within the yr I used to be born, just about everybody, just about in every single place on this planet, seems what we’d name both skinny or fairly jacked, really. You take a look at it and go the place was everybody else on Tampa Seashore that day? The place was everybody else?
Was it like a thin particular person conference? What was happening? And you then take a look at the figures. That’s what folks seem 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 USA. 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. Nevertheless 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’ve excellent analysis on this. And we’ve analysis on willpower. and each its actuality and its limits. In reality, 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 every single place the place one change takes place.
It’s the place folks transfer from largely consuming a food plan based mostly on contemporary entire meals they ready on the day, to largely consuming a food plan of processed and extremely processed meals, which suggests meals which might be constructed in factories out of chemical substances in a course of that isn’t even referred to as cooking, it’s referred to as manufacturing meals.
And it seems these processed and extremely processed meals have an effect on our our bodies in a very totally different strategy to the previous type of meals, proper? And there’s plenty of proof for this, and we will undergo a whole lot of it intimately if you’d like, and I’m going by means of a whole lot of it within the e-book, however if you wish to perceive the guts of it, I feel you’ve bought to know an experiment that to me simply nails it.
It was carried out by a scientist I interviewed referred to 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 bought a load of rats and he raised them in a cage.
And all they needed to eat was the type of pure, entire meals that rats advanced to eat over 1000’s of years. And when that’s all they needed to eat, the rats would eat once they have been hungry. And they’d cease once they have been full. So they’d some type of pure sign that simply stated, Hey guys, you’ve had sufficient, cease now.
So that they by no means turned fats or obese when that was the one meals supply they’d. Then Dr. Kenny launched them to the fashionable American food plan, get able to salivate. He fried up some bacon. He purchased some Snickers bars. Crucially, he purchased a whole lot of cheesecake and the rats went loopy. for the American food plan.
They might actually dive into the cheesecake and eat their means out and simply emerge simply utterly 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 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 food plan And left them with nothing however the wholesome meals and he was certain he knew what would occur. He thought they’d eat extra of the wholesome meals than they’d firstly and this may show that publicity to the American food 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 food 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 once 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 yr 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 typical 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 can 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 present in a wider meals surroundings that’s systematically undermining our willpower.
Mike: And within the e-book, Magic Capsule, you determined to strive Ozempic. And the way did that have go? And notably, have been there any shocking unwanted effects that you simply didn’t count on?
How did that have evaluate to what you have been anticipating?
Johann: [00:12:00] Getting in, I felt actually conflicted. I bear in mind so vividly the second I discovered concerning 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 bought invited to a celebration and I used to be like, Oh, I bear in mind them.
Okay, let’s go. And I used to be in an Uber going to the social gathering. This social gathering 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 out of the blue felt this type of wave of dread is just too robust 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 throughout the pandemic. This social gathering 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 buddy of mine on the dance flooring and I stated to her. Wow, it seems 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 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 vital folks perceive that is, there’s loads of issues we’re anxious 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 that makes use of Ozempic Wigobi loses 15 p.c of their physique weight. The typical one that makes use of Menjaro, which is the following on this new class of revolutionary weight reduction medicine, loses [00:14:00] 21 p.c of their physique weight.
And the following one that may come on-line most likely early subsequent yr, Triple G, the typical particular person loses 25 p.c of their physique weight, solely a little bit bit under bariatric surgical procedure, staggering. And as quickly as I discovered this. I had two very robust 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 boys 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.
Really, 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 an enormous 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 happening a very large journey everywhere in the world from Iceland to Minneapolis to Japan to interview the main consultants 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 nicely.
Mike: And the way was that have once you took it and the way did it evaluate to expectations?
And what did you conclude or what did you be taught by means of that part of doing it? It’s 1 factor to examine analysis and to take heed to consultants 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. Lots of the folks listening haven’t many individuals presumably have, however for the numerous who haven’t, there most likely are many who’ve thought of 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 very vital 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 type 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 bear in mind the second day after I’d taken Ozempe, I awakened and once I’m, I reside half the yr right here in London and I went to this diner up the road from the place I reside 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 really like 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 are 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 happening there. One of many bizarre issues about these medicine is we don’t totally understand how they work, however there’s some issues we do know. So in the event you ate one thing now, Mike, doesn’t matter what it’s. After a short time, your pancreas will produce a hormone referred to 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, principally. 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 kind 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 suggests 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 stated, 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 feel it was 31 to BMI. 24, 23, one thing like that now. So a very dramatic shift.
In order that’s the primary and quick impact. You requested earlier than about unwanted effects. I’m going by means of within the e-book 12 vital dangers related to these medicine, so long as enormous, alongside enormous advantages. I’m certain we’re going to unpick each, however the, when it comes to the dangers that I’m describing are totally different to the unwanted effects, proper?
So the commonest facet impact by far is nausea. That most individuals. Nearly everybody, once they begin taking these medicine, 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 a little bit bit tough. From then on, each week once I injected myself, I felt mildly nauseous the following day and step by step 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 unwanted effects together with a burping constipation. However I used to be separate that from the advantages of dangers.
Mike: Yeah. So minor unwanted effects when it comes to quick time period. What you skilled then clearly. Drastically offset by the manufacturing urge for food that then made it lots simpler to keep up a calorie deficit, which most individuals listening are going to know 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 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 will begin with simply being hungry on a regular basis.
And that could be a widespread expertise for individuals who have struggled with their weight for a very long time. A lot of these individuals are simply hungry on a regular basis. And for someone who has not skilled that, or doesn’t typically expertise that, They don’t perceive simply how troublesome that may be to cope with. And for folks listening who don’t typically expertise that, in the event you’ve ever dieted to get very lean, in the event you assume to that interval, particularly towards the tip of that food plan, you most likely have been hungry.
Rather a lot, and also you have been experiencing cravings lots. 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 food 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 that you would be able to solely apply willpower irrespective of who you’re 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 and so they plan for that of their weight-reduction plan and so forth.

Johann: Now, that’s such an vital level. There have been plenty of issues I discovered within the analysis of the e-book that shocked me.
There’s a superb professor you need to have on the podcast referred to as Professor Tracy Mann. I interviewed her in Minneapolis. Who’s been researching, she’s accomplished the very best 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 yr 2000, the proof was completely unambiguous on diets, diets work.
Big, many 1000’s of research demonstrating that diets work for the apparent motive that in the event you, such as you stated, in the event you burn extra energy than you devour, you drop some weight, that you simply’d should 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 food plan for 3 months, a few of them checked out six months. So principally you lose a whole 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.
Actually that’s what Professor Mann observed. I do know heaps of people that You already know, 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 feel 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 may be very totally different. The overwhelming majority of individuals regain the load they’ve misplaced. Not everybody, and it’s vital 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 attention-grabbing, what’s, why would that be?
What’s happening there? And this pertains to a very attention-grabbing debate concerning 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 have to be totally on the intestine.
They need to decelerate intestine motility, issues like that have to be how they work. [00:24:00] They usually do have that impact. Nevertheless it’s more and more clear, and I interviewed the leading edge 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 alter 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 food plan failure. There’s some stuff we find out about weight-reduction plan that’s actually attention-grabbing. In case you return to the 60s, there was a idea that was developed about weight-reduction plan and simply physique weight extra typically, which was, it was referred to as set level idea.
So it comes out of your physique temperature. So if you concentrate on 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 will have a set level to your physique temperature, proper? [00:25:00] In case you 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 can have all had the expertise in the event you get above that physique temperature, your physique works actually laborious to deliver you down. You begin sweating, you desperately need shade. And equally, in case your physique goes finally ends up under that physique temperature, your physique works very laborious to deliver 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 exterior that vary for very lengthy with out your physique preventing again actually laborious. So within the 60s, they thought, by analogy, once you’re born, You’ve bought a sure set level to your physique weight that’s simply mounted from once you’re, from start, proper?
And, it or a little bit bit under it, however principally you’re mounted. Then the weight problems disaster occurred starting within the late 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 improve a lot?
However then a very 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 appreciate 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 should think about, a British author referred to as Chris Von Tullochan, who’s a scientist who’s one among similar twins within the second tip. Image two similar twins, one among 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 case you have been ready by means of pressure of willpower by means of a hardcore food 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 should eat considerably fewer energy than your similar twin to stay in even the identical weight, proper?
And I bear in mind once I first discovered this about set level idea. Pondering I simply don’t see how that may be true, as a result of on condition that weight problems is so unhealthy to your well being, why would nature endow us with one thing that was so dysfunctional, proper? Why would it not make us wish to be overweight? But when you concentrate on the circumstances the place human beings advanced, it is smart.
Within the circumstances the place human beings advanced, the state of affairs we reside in now, the place you will have surplus energy to your entire life, extra energy than you’ll be able to ever devour throughout you ceaselessly 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 advanced was a really totally different risk, which is famine.
It was fairly seemingly within the circumstances the place people advanced that you simply have been ultimately going to expire of meals. And if you concentrate on weight problems in relation to that, it begins to make sense, proper? In case 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 most likely eat them to be trustworthy and you understand i might nonetheless be standing proper so really within the circumstances the place we advanced it made sense In case 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 defend you for the famine that’s coming alongside. However our evolution is now making ready us to guard us towards a famine that’s not 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 in the event you now gained a load of weight please don’t, it will be a tragedy for gays and ladies in every single place. However in the event you did you’d discover it laborious 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 happening right here. That’s definitely 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 based mostly on not simply my understanding of related literature, but additionally what I’ve seen now, and lots of people over time is there.
There are some commonalities among the many individuals who do efficiently get there by means of. I suppose you may say willpower, however additionally they, they create their routine in order that it requires as little willpower as potential 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 food plan, for instance, totally dropping extremely processed meals out of the food plan, consuming a excessive protein food 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 motive, zucchini, simply in my expertise with folks, appears to be notably filling. There’s simply a whole lot of 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 might fluctuate particular person by particular person. And so discovering out what sort of train for you tends to show your urge for food off, however a whole lot of these methods once more, come again to the guts of the matter, which is urge for food.
Quite a 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 a whole lot of weight and stored it off is that they used a whole lot of these techniques to create once more, a routine that not solely permits them to persistently drop some weight, however permits them to simply maintain urge for food.
Low and maintain cravings low. So for some folks meaning having small quantities of issues that they like simply giving themselves sufficient regularly for different folks. It’s having, perhaps there are specific treats which might be 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 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 motive, they will have 100 energy of darkish chocolate and so they really feel satiated. Once more, the purpose that only for folks listening is you probably have been combating Shedding weight and retaining it off merely by means of food 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 is advisable to get extra explicit concerning the particulars, and also you might need to micromanage the method a little bit bit greater than another person who perhaps it’s for purely simply physiological causes.
There could possibly be some genetic elements 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 remainder 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 may obtain by means of simply food plan and train, however expertise a bit extra of the method. That it is perhaps a minority of individuals, however the individuals who would say, how laborious is it? It’s simply willpower. Simply cease consuming. It doesn’t matter as a result of once more, for them to attain the specified consequence that’s all it required.
Johann: Yeah, I [00:33:00] assume that’s a very vital level. And I might positively say in the event you’re obese and overweight or obese or overweight, and also you’re listening to this, attempt to drop some weight by means of food plan and train first. I doubt that there’s a single obese or overweight particular person listening. I’ve not tried that, however like you need to positively.
Mike: Certain. Nevertheless, the way you go about it issues although that’s simply all I need folks to know is that there are a whole lot of unhealthy diets on the market, sadly, that strive with the sledgehammer and that’s all they’ve,
Johann: no, that’s a very vital level. I might additionally say in the event you’ve tried food plan and train and so they haven’t labored, what you now should do.
A, there’s excellent news, which is there’s a staggering new device, which works very well at sure issues in these medicine. But additionally I might say what you now should do. is means too competing units of dangers if diets haven’t labored for you. The primary threat is the chance of constant to be obese or overweight.
And by the way in which, you don’t should be massively fats for well being threat 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 will probably 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 principally all the things we concern medically. considerably extra seemingly. 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 seemingly you’ll have a horrible previous age the place you’ll be able to’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. When you’ve got 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’re 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 reality, 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 bought to weigh them towards the dangers of those medicine. that are vital. And I’m going by means of within the e-book 12 vital dangers, which I wish to clarify are totally different from the unwanted effects, vital dangers which might be related to these medicine.
And Completely different folks will make totally different calculations. Like I say, I’ve a protracted historical past of coronary heart illness in my household. The lads die younger. So for me, the truth that these medicine scale back your threat of coronary heart assault or stroke by 20%, in the event 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 suitable calculation. I don’t assume there’s a one measurement suits all steerage on this. I feel folks, I hope, what I hope my e-book Magic Capsule helps folks to do, in addition to, serving to to know how these medicine make you are feeling and all kinds 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 bought right here, how we will get out of this dilemma of tourism being fats or being drugged.
I hope folks, provides me an opportunity to go down the checklist of, okay, what are the advantages, What are the dangers? What applies to me? Ought to I make this determination for myself or not?
Mike: Are you able to communicate to a few 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 considerations and attempt to promote the medicine as, Principally all upside, no draw back.
Johann: I feel 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 unwanted 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 vital to emphasize. In case you ask scientists who’ve studied this intimately concerning the dangers, [00:37:00] typically what they are saying is definitely we all know quite a bit about these medicine 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 medicine additionally deal with sort 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 bought various information on diabetics. It’s a very vital 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 referred to 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 seemed on the proof, and he began to have a look at the proof from sort 2 diabetics. It’s very fundamental. They’ve excellent medical databases in France as a result of you’ll be able to’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 absorb these medicine.
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 in the event you took these medicine, you have been considerably extra more likely to develop thyroid most cancers. In reality you have been, the rise within the threat was actually, it was 50%, which once I heard that, I used to be like, whoa.
And he stated no, you’ve bought to know that doesn’t imply in the event you take the drug, you will have a 50 p.c probability of getting thyroid most cancers. If that was the case, there’d be bonfires of ozempic everywhere in the world. What it means is what, If he’s proper, and that is extremely contested, no matter your thyroid most cancers threat 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 major improve in a comparatively small threat. 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 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 women, 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 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 few of the dangers right here. So in the event you return to when anti psychotic medicine have been first being given to folks within the late Fifties, the early Nineteen Sixties, scientists on the time judged that the advantages of those medicine outweighed the dangers.
And that was the very best judgment name they’d based mostly on the proof they’d on the time. It was solely, what, 40, 45 years down the road that it was found In case you take these medicine for a very 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 have been being negligent.
There was simply no means you may know that, proper? You needed to have folks take it for a very lengthy time period. It’s potential, now I’m not suggesting medicine will trigger dementia, there’s no motive to consider that, nevertheless it’s simply potential that there’ll be one thing that these medicine do, particularly when you think about they primarily work by activating core features of the mind, it’s potential that additional down the road these medicine can have some disastrous unwanted effects and somebody will discover this podcast to go what for he was to take these medicine.
Now, towards that, I might say, I feel lots about one thing that Dr. Shauna Levy, who’s an weight problems specialist at Tulane College College of Drugs 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 is perhaps the case, proper? However in order that for me was the, that’s the factor that the majority provides me pause. There’s been another stuff as nicely, however that’s, yeah, and there’s different issues I’m anxious about for different folks that I’m not as anxious about for myself.
Mike: You talked about [00:41:00] consuming problems and notably, I feel you stated in youthful ladies.
Johann: It is a enormous downside. 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 widespread consuming problems.
Mike: Or some extent of orthorexia, fairly widespread within the health world specifically.
Johann: In case you take a look at somebody with anorexia, for instance, there’s a battle happening inside them.
The organic a part of them that desires to reside and needs to eat. After which there’s the psychological a part of them that for classy causes needs to starve themselves. And what these medicine do in the event you take them at a excessive sufficient dose is they will simply amputate that organic a part of your self. They will simply reduce off the a part of you that desires to eat.
And that is why Dr. Kimberly Dennis is without doubt one of the main consuming problems consultants in the USA. It’s best to have her on as nicely. Nice particular person. It says, these medicine are rocket gasoline for consuming problems. I’m actually anxious 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 dying toll, of deaths, of younger women, and consuming problems just do, are overwhelming the younger women. Clearly you get some boys, some older ladies, nevertheless it’s overwhelming the younger women, who’re in a position to starve themselves to dying, who wouldn’t have been ready to try this had they not, had entry to those medicine.
And the entry challenge is a very large deal in the meanwhile as a result of look, I can see you, Mike, proper? You don’t qualify for these medicine. It’s best to, until you’re diabetic, sort 2 diabetes. In case you went to a health care provider for these medicine, you shouldn’t be given them in line with the medical pointers. I assure you, you may dangle 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 threat supervisor. Much like TRT now exploding, you’ll be able to simply say, I feel 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 concentrate on that, proper? So what Consuming problems consultants 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. It’s best to should go in particular person to see a health care provider. That physician ought to weigh you and verify you. If you don’t meet the factors, you shouldn’t be given them. So in the event you’re not diabetic or obese 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 could possibly get a buddy 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, this can be a barely excessive means of placing it, however solely barely. These medicine are such a strong device.
They’re like the invention of fireside, proper? Hearth is a superb device. If I take advantage of it to warmth up my home, it’s a very awful device. 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 excellent good and nice hurt, and it might and will probably be used for each. So [00:44:00] we have to.
One of many issues I hope my e-book is a type 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 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 known as Magic Capsule as a result of there’s 3 ways these medicine could possibly be magic, proper? The primary means is the obvious. It may simply clear up the issue of weight problems. I bought to let you know, Mike, there are days it appears 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 could possibly be magic is far 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 almost certainly situation for most individuals, however you definitely can’t rule it out. The third means it [00:45:00] could possibly be magic is definitely what I feel is the almost certainly. 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 admittedly 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 kinds of giant, 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 lots thinner and it takes, the heavier you’re, the extra money prices to extra jet gasoline you want.
So there’s going to be enormous 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 feel we actually want To consider this can be a nice second. It is a horrifying 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 feel, 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 wished to comply with up with a query on is let’s assume that there could also be commerce offs, nevertheless it’s largely.
The magic is usually constructive and we’ve lots of people who’ve misplaced a whole lot of weight and to some extent we’ve solved weight problems, no less than 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’ve lots of people now who’re utilizing these medicine and my understanding of based mostly on a few earlier interviews that I did is one of the simplest ways for folks to succeed long run with these medicine 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 few of the stuff I discussed beforehand, the identical forms of profitable little methods and techniques that folks use to food plan efficiently with out using any medicine, 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 in a position to 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. Nevertheless, there are lots of folks and also you talked about that you simply’re nonetheless taking the drug and I wished to ask about that as nicely. And that is related to the earlier query. Many individuals who lose a whole 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 a whole lot of weight, nice advantages, such as you talked about, however now we’ve, 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 will get it? To move that part 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 no less than in a position to 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 an enormous debate about do these medicine work after you cease taking them. So what the drug corporations say is completely 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 have been earlier than.
So they are saying these medicine imply you drop some weight 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 show 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 a little bit bit skeptical of that as a result of the drug corporations clearly have a vested curiosity in us shopping for it from them ceaselessly. Nonetheless, these have been critical scientists who produced this research and it does appear fairly respected. That’s the one proof we’ve in the meanwhile. 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 feel 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 youngsters 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’ve to reside with. And if you wish to perceive why it’s not the selection we’ve to reside with, I went to Japan for the e-book.
Japan is the third richest nation on this planet, 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 colleges, you stroll round a college of a thousand youngsters and there’s not one single fats youngster in that college.
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 need to simply genetically be much less more likely to turn out to be 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 not too long ago. 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 taking place. It’s not, their genes can’t presumably have advanced that quickly in such a [00:52:00] quick time period.
So there’s one thing in the way in which Japanese folks reside. And I went to see what it’s. They’ve concerted insurance policies of their colleges to show youngsters to solely eat and love wholesome meals. They don’t permit shitty processed meals to hijack their youngsters. They do all kinds 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 in the event you’re obese, you must give you a plan along with your boss to deliver your weight down. And as an organization, you probably 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 have been like, Oh, we love this coverage of this firm. And I’m like, so in the event you did this within the U S we’d burn the workplace down. They usually’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 features of Japanese tradition that we will’t assimilate, however many who we will, and [00:53:00] we completely ought to. Trigger this alteration. Your grandparents weren’t overweight. My grandparents weren’t overweight, proper? Really, two of mine have been, however they have been outliers of their technology.
And, this can be a very latest change. We eat in a means that might have been unrecognizable to our nice grandparents. Unimaginable, really.
Mike: Yeah,
Johann: actually unattainable. You’re precisely proper. We don’t have to simply financial institution that. That we’ve been screwed over by the meals trade as if that’s only a given, proper?
Japan is an actual place. It might probably really feel a bit sci fi generally, however it’s a actual place. They didn’t permit it to be accomplished to them and their youngsters, proper? We will make that selection, too. And I speak very clearly within the e-book about how we will 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 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 skim 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 surroundings. 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 photograph a couple of years in the past, I believed I ought to really feel responsible. I present it to her. She stated, You have been a troublesome child. I wanted that cigarette. So utterly [00:55:00] unrepentant. So yeah, she was not eager about how can we get into zucchini soup? I feel if I gave zucchini soup to my mom, I feel she would punch me within the face.
Yeah,
Mike: that’s a, that’s really an amazing image. That one must be in a body.
Johann: I wished 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 nicely.
Mike: That’s nice. That’s an amazing story. We’re arising on time. And and naturally the e-book is magic tablet.
Individuals can get it to wherever they prefer to get books. And is there anything that you simply wish to inform them about wherever, social media or any, wherever the place you’re energetic?
Johann: In case you go to magic tablet e-book. com, you’ll be able to see the place to get the audio e-book, the e book or the bodily e-book. You may see the place to comply with me on social media.
I bought in hassle on the finish of a podcast some time again as a result of it was a couple of 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 giggle. And I’ve this very unhealthy behavior. If. If I inform a joke and somebody doesn’t giggle, I double down on the joke. And I stated, that present to catch a predator the place they catfish pedophiles.
