Johann: Hey, Mike. I used to be warning you off digicam that I’ve had an insane quantity of caffeine at present. I’ve mainly been [00:04:00] freebasing caffeine. So there’s a not insignificant likelihood 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’ll 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 he or she was simply useless.
Mike: And now with social media and cell telephones, you may stay without end.
It’s a really 2024 approach to go. How a lot caffeine are you as much as, by the way in which?
Johann: I believe that my blood, in case you did gave me a blood take a look at, I’m extra caffeine at this level, but it surely’s all positive. 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 recurrently 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 12 months of his life, Elvis had a health care provider who would come and inject caffeine instantly into his veins each morning. And I used to be like, I want that physician. And my pal was like, yeah, what occurred to Elvis subsequent? I used to be like, yeah, good level.
Didn’t work out that effectively.
Mike: Oh yeah. I didn’t consider that. You may as effectively skip that. Simply go to the Hitler section. You need meth? You need, skip the caffeine. When 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 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 influence society. Additionally taking a look at a number of the security issues which were introduced up. However I feel the place I needed to start out 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 undecided that’s anyway. Willpower is actual and willpower performs a major function 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 title of the closest seashore to the place you reside. So I’m guessing for you, Mike, it’s Tampa and simply Google images of that seashore. Within the 12 months that I used to be born, 1979, and simply have a look at them for a minute after which come again to us, proper? When you’ve executed that, you’ll discover one thing actually bizarre.
These individuals don’t look [00:07:00] like us. When you have a look at images of seashores within the 12 months I used to be born, just about everybody, just about in all places on this planet, seems what we might name both skinny or fairly jacked, really. You have 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 individual conference? What was happening? And then you definitely have a look at the figures. That’s what individuals appear to be within the 12 months that I used to be born. So between the 12 months I used to be born and the 12 months I turned 21, weight problems doubled in the US. After which within the subsequent 20 years, extreme weight problems doubled once more, proper?
That is weird. You will have 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 now have excellent analysis on this. And we now have analysis on willpower. and each its actuality and its limits. Actually, we all know why this occurred, as a result of it occurs, we all know why this bodily transformation in individuals’s our bodies occur. It occurs in all places the place one change takes place.
It’s the place individuals transfer from largely consuming a weight loss plan primarily based on contemporary entire meals they ready on the day, to largely consuming a weight loss plan of processed and extremely processed meals, which implies meals which are constructed in factories out of chemical compounds in a course of that isn’t even 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 approach to the previous sort of meals, proper? And there’s numerous proof for this, and we will undergo a variety of it intimately if you would like, and I’m going by way of a variety of it within the e-book, however if you wish to perceive the guts of it, I feel you’ve bought to grasp 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 sort of pure, entire 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 have been hungry. And they’d cease once they have been full. So they’d some sort 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 they’d. 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 a variety of cheesecake and the rats went loopy. for the American weight loss plan.
They’d actually dive into the cheesecake and eat their method 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 type [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 method 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 positive he knew what would occur. He thought they might eat extra of the wholesome meals than they’d in the beginning and this might show that publicity to the American weight loss plan will increase the variety of energy you eat in a day.
That isn’t what occurred, Mike. What occurred is way weirder. As soon as they’d the American weight loss 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 loss of life. Now, I’d argue we’re all residing in a model of that Cheesecake Park experiment.
The meals we’re consuming is undermining our potential to ever really feel full and get the sign from our physique saying, hey, cease consuming now, proper? Now, we didn’t select that, proper? Extra three 12 months previous American kids 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 potential 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 may 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 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 stunning negative effects that you just didn’t anticipate?
How did that have examine to what you have been anticipating?
Johann: [00:12:00] Entering 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 bought 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 all of a sudden felt this type of wave of dread is just too robust a phrase, however like self consciousness.
As a result of I assumed, I used to be fairly fats in the beginning of the pandemic and I gained numerous weight throughout it. And I assumed, oh, this can be a bit embarrassing. However then I all of a sudden thought, wait a minute, the general public I do know gained weight through the pandemic. This get together goes to be actually attention-grabbing.
We’re simply going to all fake
Mike: prefer it didn’t occur.
Johann: I’m identical to Hollywood stars with a little bit of like flat on them. That is going to be fascinating. And I arrived and I walked round and it was the weirdest factor. [00:13:00] Not solely had none of them gained weight, they have been gone. Everybody was like a lot thinner than they’d been 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 flooring and I stated to her. Wow, it seems like everybody actually did take up Pilates throughout lockdown and he or she laughed in my face and I used to be like, why are you laughing at?
And he or she 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 individuals have described this as like a fad or a craze. It’s actually essential individuals perceive that is, there’s loads of issues we’re frightened about, however this isn’t a fad.
We now have a brand new drug. That provides individuals a staggering quantity of weight reduction. The typical one who makes use of Ozempic Wigobi loses 15 p.c of their physique weight. The typical one who makes use of Menjaro, which is the following on this new class of revolutionary weight reduction 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 12 months, Triple G, the typical individual loses 25 p.c of their physique weight, solely just a little bit beneath bariatric surgical procedure, staggering. And as quickly as I discovered this. I had two very robust contradictory ideas. The very first thing I assumed 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.
Really, makes worse or causes over 200 recognized medical circumstances. So I assumed, whoa, there’s a drug that reverses or massively reduces weight problems. That’s a giant deal, however I additionally thought, wait a minute, this sounds method too good to be true. This simply can’t be [00:15:00] proper. So I ended up happening a very massive journey everywhere in 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 whenever you took it and the way did it examine to expectations?
And what did you conclude or what did you be taught by way of 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 individuals listening haven’t many individuals presumably have, however for the various 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’d not advocate it to who’re utilizing it and a few individuals I’d advocate it to, however
Johann: yeah, it’s a very essential query. 47 p.c of People now wish to take these medicine partly as a result of everybody who takes them then turns into a sort of strolling as commercial for the medicine.
Persons are like, whoa, what occurred to Bob? It’s half. It’s half of Bob. The place did he go? He stole the opposite half. It’s, how does it really feel? There have been numerous 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 once I’m, I stay half the 12 months right here in London and I went to this diner up the road from the place I stay and I ordered what I used to order each morning for breakfast, which I’m embarrassed to say to somebody who’s as glowingly wholesome as you, however I, it was an enormous rooster sandwich with a great deal of rooster and mayo in it.
And usually I would love inhale that and nonetheless need some chips. And that [00:17:00] morning I had three mouthfuls. And I simply felt full. I didn’t need any extra. I assumed 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 adjustments 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 solely understand how they work, however there’s some issues we do know. So in case you ate one thing now, Mike, doesn’t matter what it’s. After a short while, your pancreas will produce a hormone referred to 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 capsule kind they offer you, a man-made type of GLP 1 that as an alternative of sticking round in your system for a couple of minutes, stays round in your system For an entire week, which implies once 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 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 rapid impact. You requested earlier than about negative effects. I’m going by way of within the e-book 12 vital dangers related to these medicine, so long as big, alongside big advantages. I’m positive we’re going to unpick each, however the, when it comes to the dangers that I’m describing are totally different to the negative effects, proper?
So the most typical 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 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 sooner or later, I wouldn’t have gone house and gone to mattress.
I’d have simply carried on about my [00:19:00] day, however I’d have felt just a little bit tough. From then on, each week once I injected myself, I felt mildly nauseous the following day and steadily that went away. And right here I’m, greater than a 12 months and a half later and I don’t, I’m nonetheless taking it for causes I can speak about, 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. Significantly offset by the manufacturing urge for food that then made it rather a lot 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 just spoke about simply so as to add a remark to that, For individuals listening who’ve by no means actually struggled to shed pounds, as a result of in my expertise interacting with these individuals, 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 may be a frequent expertise for individuals who have struggled with their weight for a very long time. Lots of these persons are simply hungry on a regular basis. And for anyone 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 individuals listening who don’t typically expertise that, in case you’ve ever dieted to get very lean, in case you assume to that interval, particularly towards the top of that weight loss plan, you most likely have been hungry.
Loads, and also you have been experiencing cravings rather a lot. So now think about that was simply your default urge for food on a regular basis, no matter physique composition. And so the issue of willpower, even you’ll hear individuals, even skilled bodybuilders speak about 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 could solely apply willpower regardless of who you might be for therefore 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 essential level. There have been numerous issues I discovered within the analysis of the e-book that shocked me.
There’s a superb professor it’s best to have on the podcast referred to as Professor Tracy Mann. I interviewed her in Minneapolis. Who’s been researching, she’s executed 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 12 months 2000, the proof was completely unambiguous on diets, diets work.
Large, many hundreds of research demonstrating that diets work for the plain purpose that in case you, such as you stated, in case you burn extra energy than you devour, you shed pounds, that you just’d must deny the legal guidelines of physics to disclaim that, proper? When she checked out this in additional element, she seen 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 a variety of weight after which the individuals doing the research simply assume and then you definitely 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 truth of it.
Definitely that’s what Professor Mann seen. I do know tons of people that You understand, 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 12 months timeframe, what you discover could be very totally different. The overwhelming majority of individuals regain the burden 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 attention-grabbing, what’s, why would that be?
What’s happening there? And this pertains to a very attention-grabbing 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 have to decelerate intestine motility, issues like that should be how they work. [00:24:00] They usually do have that impact. Nevertheless it’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 alter what you need. There’s an enormous debate about how they alter the mind, and it’s frankly disconcerting to go and interview numerous actually good neuroscientists and go, what’s it doing to my mind? They usually go, yeah, we’re probably not positive. 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 attention-grabbing. When 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 generally known 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 whenever you’re born as a human being, you will have a set level to your physique temperature, proper? [00:25:00] When you go above your physique desires to maintain you inside a really slender vary across the physique temperature that’s wholesome to your physique.
And we may have all had the expertise in case you get above that physique temperature, your physique works actually arduous to carry you down. You begin sweating, you desperately need shade. And equally, in case your physique goes finally ends up beneath that physique temperature, your physique works very arduous to carry you again up, you shiver, you desperately need heat.
So your physique has a pure set level, it retains your temperature at a selected stage, and you may’t actually go outdoors that vary for very lengthy with out your physique preventing again actually arduous. So within the 60s, they thought, by analogy, whenever you’re born, You’ve bought a sure set level to your physique weight that’s simply mounted from whenever you’re, from start, proper?
And, it or just a little bit beneath it, however mainly you’re mounted. Then the weight problems disaster occurred starting within the late Seventies. And at first they thought, oh, we simply 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 very attention-grabbing adjustment to the science occurred for individuals like Professor Michael Lowe at Drexel College, who I interviewed. What they, from wanting on the proof, what they started to understand is your physique does have a set level to your weight, however as your weight rises, your physique takes that increased set level as its new set level.
So let’s think about two an identical twins, proper? You don’t must think about, a British author referred to as Chris Von Tullochan, who’s a scientist who’s one in all an identical twins within the second tip. Image two an identical twins, one in all them positive factors, 40 kilos. after which loses it. So once more, they appear the identical, proper?
However as you achieve weight, your physique fights to carry that increased weight. It slows down your metabolism. It makes you crave extra fatty meals. When you have been in a position by way of drive of willpower by way of a hardcore weight loss plan and train program to return down, you’ll really, as a result of your physique [00:27:00] is making an attempt to drive you again up, you’d must eat considerably fewer energy than your an identical twin to stay in even the identical weight, proper?
And I keep in mind once I first discovered this about set level idea. Considering I simply don’t see how that may be true, as a result of on condition that weight problems is so dangerous 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 developed, it is sensible.
Within the circumstances the place human beings developed, the state of affairs we stay in now, the place you will have surplus energy to your entire life, extra energy than you may ever devour throughout you without end That by no means occurred, proper? Our evolution didn’t put together us for that situation. What did occur rather a lot within the circumstances the place human beings developed was a really totally different risk, which is famine.
It was fairly probably within the circumstances the place people developed that you just have been eventually going to expire of meals. And if you concentrate on weight problems in relation to that, it begins to make sense, proper? When 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’d cry over their our bodies bury them most likely eat them to be trustworthy and you recognize i’d nonetheless be standing proper so really within the circumstances the place we developed it made sense When 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 getting ready us to guard us in opposition to a famine that’s not going to occur, proper? So we’ve ended up maladapted to our surroundings. And the rationale this pertains to the medicine, other than clearly explaining why diets fail most often, 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 case you now gained a load of weight please don’t, it might be a tragedy for gays and ladies in all places. However in case you did you’ll discover it arduous to return, proper? Due to that adjustment in your set level and that change in [00:29:00] your metabolism, However one argument is what these medicine could also be doing is definitely reducing your set level.
This can be a extra crude analogy than any of the scientists would use. However the way in which I started to think about it, it’s nearly like taking your iPhone again to the manufacturing facility settings, proper? It’s like reducing your set level. In order that’s one idea about what’s happening 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 might have a few of that dramatic
Mike: impact. And simply to touch upon the purpose of diets that fail versus diets that don’t primarily based on not simply my understanding of related literature, but additionally what I’ve seen now, and lots of people through the years is there.
There are some commonalities among the many individuals who do efficiently get there by way of. I suppose you may 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 just’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 individuals, appears to be notably filling. There’s simply a variety 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 speak about analysis when it comes to how excessive depth versus low depth tends to have an effect on urge for food, however it may well 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 variety of these methods once more, come again to the guts of the matter, which is urge for food.
Plenty 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 variety of weight and saved it off is that they used a variety of these techniques to create once more, a routine that not solely permits them to persistently shed pounds, however permits them to simply maintain urge for food.
Low and maintain cravings low. So for some individuals which means having small quantities of issues that they like simply giving themselves sufficient frequently for different individuals. It’s having, possibly there are particular treats which are 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 individuals listening is when you’ve got been battling Losing a few pounds and preserving it off merely by way of weight loss plan and [00:32:00] train, and if it’s been notably a matter of urge for food and cravings, it could be that you’ll want to get extra specific in regards to the particulars, and also you may need to micromanage the method just a little bit greater than another person who possibly it’s for purely simply physiological causes.
There may very well be some genetic components in play, no matter. They don’t want to concentrate an excessive amount of to the small print. They’re simply extra excessive stage and so they eat sufficient protein. They don’t actually take note of the remaining and so they simply preserve 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 way of simply weight loss 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 arduous is it? It’s simply willpower. Simply cease consuming. It doesn’t matter as a result of once more, for them to realize the specified consequence that’s all it required.
Johann: Yeah, I [00:33:00] assume that’s a very essential level. And I’d positively say in case you’re obese and overweight or obese or overweight, and also you’re listening to this, attempt to shed pounds by way of 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 it’s best to positively.
Mike: Positive. Nevertheless, the way you go about it issues although that’s simply all I need individuals to know is that there are a variety of dangerous diets on the market, sadly, that strive with the sledgehammer and that’s all they’ve,
Johann: no, that’s a very essential level. I’d additionally say in case you’ve tried weight loss plan and train and so they haven’t labored, what you now must 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’d say what you now must do. is method too competing units of dangers if diets haven’t labored for you. The primary danger is the danger of constant to be obese or overweight.
And by the way in which, you don’t must 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 will probably be received’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 dangerous to your weight problems really is.
Weight problems makes mainly all the things we worry medically. considerably extra probably. 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 medical doctors most worry getting, makes you considerably extra more likely to have a coronary heart assault, makes you considerably extra probably you’ll have a horrible previous age the place you may’t stroll, the place you’re in agony along with your knees, along with your hips simply throughout the board, it’s disastrous.
And we all know that whenever you reverse weight problems, you massively enhance well being outcomes. You probably have bariatric surgical procedure within the seven years that comply with, you might be 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.
Actually, 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 in opposition to the dangers of those medicine. that are vital. And I’m going by way of within the e-book 12 vital dangers, which I wish to clarify are totally different from the negative effects, vital dangers which are related to these medicine.
And Completely different individuals will make totally 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%, in case 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 individuals. That won’t be the proper calculation. I don’t assume there’s a one dimension matches all steering on this. I feel individuals, I hope, what I hope my e-book Magic Capsule helps individuals to do, in addition to, serving to to grasp how these medicine make you are 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 bought right here, how we will get out of this dilemma of tourism being fats or being drugged.
I hope individuals, offers me an opportunity to go down the listing 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 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 individuals roughly dismiss any such issues and attempt to promote the medicine as, Mainly 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 varieties 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 might be a infantile mind-set. So when it comes to the dangers, it’s essential to emphasize. When you ask scientists who’ve studied this intimately in regards to the dangers, [00:37:00] typically 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 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 numerous information on diabetics. It’s a very essential level and it ought to give us some stage 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 regarded 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 may’t choose out of them. They don’t actually have the equal of HIPAA. He was actually [00:38:00] alarmed by one thing. So he in contrast utilizing these databases, teams of diabetics who soak up these medicine.
with teams of diabetics who have been comparable in each different method, however had not taken these semaglutides. And what his analysis appeared to point is that in case you took these medicine, you have been considerably extra more likely to develop thyroid most cancers. Actually you have been, the rise within the danger was actually, it was 50%, which once I heard that, I used to be like, whoa.
And he stated no, you’ve bought to grasp that doesn’t imply in case you take the drug, you will have a 50 p.c likelihood 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 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 are rising like this.
The most important factor that worries me is, pertains to consuming problems, and that doesn’t fear for me, fear me for myself, as a result of I’m not going to develop an consuming dysfunction, I’m extremely assured with that, however that worries me for lots of younger ladies, I can come again to that. However for me personally, the one which worries me most.
It’s that we simply don’t know the long run 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 may have this impact, however the analogy ought to assist us to consider a number of the dangers right here. So in case you return to when anti psychotic medicine have been first being given to individuals 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 they’d primarily based on the proof they’d on the time. It was solely, what, 40, 45 years down the road that it was found When you take these medicine for a very very long time, you might be 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 method you may know that, proper? You needed to have individuals take it for a very lengthy time period. It’s doable, now I’m not suggesting medicine will trigger dementia, there’s no purpose to imagine that, but it surely’s simply doable that there’ll be one thing that these medicine do, particularly when you think about they primarily work by activating core points of the mind, it’s doable that additional down the road these medicine may 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 feel rather a lot 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 is perhaps the case, proper? However in order that for me was the, that’s the factor that the majority offers me pause. There’s been another stuff as effectively, however that’s, yeah, and there’s different issues I’m frightened about for different those who I’m not as frightened about for myself.
Mike: You talked about [00:41:00] consuming problems and notably, I feel you stated in youthful ladies.
Johann: This can be a big drawback. So everybody, I’m guessing just about everybody listening has recognized somebody with, to call one of many larger consuming problems, anorexia, one of many extra frequent consuming problems.
Mike: Or a point of orthorexia, fairly frequent within the health world particularly.
Johann: When you have a look at somebody with anorexia, for instance, there’s a battle happening inside them.
The organic a part of them that wishes to stay and needs 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 in case 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 among the main consuming problems specialists in the US. You need to have her on as effectively. Nice individual. It says, these medicine are rocket gas for consuming problems. I’m actually frightened along with extraordinary advantages for individuals 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 problems do exactly, are overwhelming the younger ladies. Clearly you get some boys, some older ladies, but it surely’s overwhelming the younger ladies, who’re capable of starve themselves to loss of life, who wouldn’t have been in a position to try this had they not, had entry to those medicine.
And the entry difficulty is a very massive deal for the time being as a result of look, I can see you, Mike, proper? You don’t qualify for these medicine. You need to, until you’re diabetic, sort 2 diabetes. When you went to a health care provider for these medicine, you shouldn’t be given them in keeping with the medical pointers. I assure you, you may cling up on me now.
And inside an hour, have a zoom name the place you’ll get given these medicine.
Mike: No, you’re not clearly not a danger supervisor. Just like TRT now exploding, you may simply say, I feel I’ve low testosterone up. Right here’s your script. Precisely.
Johann: Precisely. And that brings with it an entire different set of potential dangers.
So together with potential advantages. So you concentrate on that, proper? So what Consuming problems specialists like Dr. Dennis say, and I strongly agree with them, [00:43:00] is we have to urgently tighten the regulation. Firstly, you shouldn’t be capable of get these medicine on Zoom, as a result of how are you measuring individuals’s BMI on Zoom, proper?
It’s meaningless. A, it’s best to get on Zoom. You need to must go in individual 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 case you’re not diabetic or obese or overweight, you shouldn’t be given them. And they need to be skilled in recognizing individuals with consuming problems and they need to refer you.
Now, that’s not good. You could possibly get a pal to go and get it for you. There are leaky, there are holes in that, however that will save lots of people. So the way in which I take into consideration these medicine, this can be a barely excessive method of placing it, however solely barely. These medicine are such a robust device.
They’re like the invention of fireside, proper? Fireplace is a good device. If I exploit it to warmth up my home, it’s a very awful device. If I exploit it to burn down your own home in the identical method, this breakthrough is so staggering. It may be used for nice good and nice hurt, and it may well 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 sort of likelihood for us to, we’re actually residing by way 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 may very well be magic, proper? The primary method is the obvious. It may simply resolve the issue of weight problems. I bought to inform you, Mike, there are days it seems like that. My entire life I’ve overeaten. Now, as soon as every 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 method it may very well be magic is way more disturbing. It may very well be like a magic trick. It may very well be just like the magician who exhibits you a card trick whereas he picks your pocket. It may very well be that over time, 12 dangers related to these medicine outweigh the advantages.
I don’t assume that’s the almost definitely situation for most individuals, however you actually can’t rule it out. The third method it [00:45:00] may very well be magic is definitely what I feel is the almost definitely. Take into consideration the tales of magic that you just 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 consequences on the financial system, proper? Krispy Kreme shares are tanking. All of the quick meals firms 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 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 few 12 months and a half in the past exhibiting, saying to them, you’re going to have to spend so much much less cash on jet gas fairly quickly as a result of the inhabitants is about to get rather a lot thinner and it takes, the heavier you might be, the more cash prices to extra jet gas you want.
So there’s going to be big implications to this that we have to actually deeply assume [00:46:00] by way of. There’s lots of people have to be warned about and ready for. So yeah, I feel we actually want To consider this can be a nice second. This can be a scary second. That is all of these issues. And we have to honor the complexity of this.
Anybody who’s coming into this, simply going, yay, Ozempik or boo Ozempik is, I feel, lacking the way more attention-grabbing story that’s unfolding throughout us.
Mike: You talked about earlier that one thing else you mentioned within the e-book. And I needed to comply with up with a query on is let’s assume that there could also be commerce offs, but it surely’s largely.
The magic is generally optimistic and we now have lots of people who’ve misplaced a variety of weight and to a point 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 now have 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 individuals 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 will, that Embrace a number of the stuff I discussed beforehand, the identical forms of profitable little methods and techniques that folks 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 just talked about, they use that to now begin to simply get within the behavior of. Consuming in a sure method exercising in a sure method on a sure schedule. So then as soon as they attain their goal physique [00:48:00] composition, they’re capable of wean off the drug and preserve a wholesome physique weight, a wholesome physique composition.
And that’s a spread. And in order that’s the perfect situation so far as I perceive it. Nevertheless, there are numerous individuals and also you talked about that you just’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 a variety of weight after which they proceed taking the drug and are planning on taking it.
Roughly 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 preserve 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 variety of weight, nice advantages, such as you talked about, however now we now have, how many individuals are even being projected?
I don’t even know what the numbers are we speaking? I’m guessing it’s projections into the [00:49:00] 9 figures of people who find themselves going to both have used or are at present utilizing the drug and is there any conceivable method that we will 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 no less than capable of preserve a big diploma of the well being advantages that we’ve skilled by way of that closely drugged face, however.
Johann: So partly the reply to your query is unknown as a result of there’s a giant debate about do these medicine work after you cease taking them. So what the drug firms say is totally not. They’re like statins or blood strain meds, when you take them they work, and whenever 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 shed pounds when you take them, after which whenever you cease, your weight will return to what it was earlier than. And the drug [00:50:00] firms have to date 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 12 months.
Now, you wish to be just a little bit skeptical of that as a result of the drug firms clearly have a vested curiosity in us shopping for it from them without end. Nonetheless, these have been severe scientists who produced this research and it does appear fairly respected. That’s the one proof we now have for the time being. We’ll have much more proof within the subsequent few years as a result of there’ll simply be tons 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 individuals 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 isn’t the selection that we now have to stay with. And if you wish to perceive why it’s not the selection we now have to stay with, I went to Japan for the e-book.
Japan is the third richest nation on this planet, and it has nearly no weight problems in any respect. There are, greater than 40 p.c of People 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 faculty of a thousand kids and there’s not one single fats youngster in that college.
It’s bizarre. And also you hear that and also you assume it should be that the Japanese individuals received the genetic lottery, proper? They have 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 individuals moved to Hawaii the place I used to be just 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 individuals transfer to America and keep lengthy sufficient, they get as fats as different People, proper? In order that’s not what’s taking place. It’s not, their genes can not presumably have developed that quickly in such a [00:52:00] brief time period.
So there’s one thing in the way in which Japanese individuals 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 enable shitty processed meals to hijack their children. 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 annually. And in case you’re obese, it’s a must to provide you with a plan along with your boss to carry your weight down. And as an organization, when you’ve got. fattening workforce. You get fined by the federal government.
So I went to see this. It was like, Whoa, it’s wild. And I used to be like so I used to be with all these Japanese individuals who have been like, Oh, we love this coverage of this firm. And I’m like, so in case 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 points of Japanese tradition that we will’t assimilate, however many who we will, and [00:53:00] we completely ought to. Trigger this transformation. Your grandparents weren’t overweight. My grandparents weren’t overweight, proper? Really, two of mine have been, however they have been outliers of their era.
And, this can be a very current change. We eat in a method that will have been unrecognizable to our nice grandparents. Not possible, 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 business as if that’s only a given, proper?
Japan is an actual place. It might really feel a bit sci fi generally, however it’s a actual place. They didn’t enable it to be executed to them and their children, proper? We are able to 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’d advocate that [00:54:00] individuals get the e-book and skim it and notably this a part of it, as a result of anyone, I’ve two children 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 just’re making is I’ve been fairly conscientious about exposing my children 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 just’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 number of years in the past, I assumed I ought to really feel responsible. I present it to her. She stated, You have been a troublesome child. I wanted that cigarette. So fully [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 awesome image. That one must be in a body.
Johann: I needed to place it within the e-book. And he or she 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 awesome story. We’re arising on time. And and naturally the e-book is magic capsule.
Individuals can get it to wherever they prefer to get books. And is there anything that you just wish to inform them about anyplace, social media or any, anyplace the place you’re energetic?
Johann: When you go to magic capsule e-book. com, you may see the place to get the audio e-book, the book or the bodily e-book. You’ll be able to see the place to comply with me on social media.
I bought in bother on the finish of a podcast some time again as a result of it was a number 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] 12 months previous man.
The one 45 12 months previous males on Snapchat are positively pedophiles. Why else are they there? And he didn’t snicker. And I’ve this very dangerous behavior. If.
