Johann: Hey, Mike. I used to be warning you off digicam that I’ve had an insane quantity of caffeine as we speak. I’ve principally 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 should reduce that clip and make that the one you’ll perceive.
You’ll perceive.
Johann: It’s true. It’s what I’d 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 might 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 possibly can reside eternally.
It’s a really 2024 solution to go. How a lot caffeine are you as much as, by the way in which?
Johann: I believe that my blood, in case you did gave me a blood take a look at, I’m extra caffeine at this level, nevertheless it’s all high quality. I’ve had a little bit of a mad day.
Mike: One of many, one of many guys who works with me once we have been all within the workplace collectively earlier than COVID, we went distant at that time, however he would frequently devour in all probability a gram to a gram and a half per day.
That was only a, [00:05:00] that was only a regular cruising altitude for his caffeine consumption.
Johann: Within the final yr of his life, Elvis had a physician who would come and inject caffeine instantly into his veins each morning. And I used to be like, I want that physician. And my good friend was like, yeah, what occurred to Elvis subsequent? I used to be like, yeah, good level.
Didn’t work out that properly.
Mike: Oh yeah. I didn’t consider that. You would possibly as properly skip that. Simply go to the Hitler part. You need meth? You need, skip the caffeine. For those who’re going to go intravenous, come on. Talking of injecting medication we’re. That’s an excellent pivot. I prefer it.
That’s what we’re right here to speak about. Is is injecting medication. We’re right here to speak about some glutide or ozempic as many individuals understand it. And that is one thing that I’ve spoken a bit about it. I’ve written a bit about it, however I 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 would possibly go and the way it the way it would possibly impression society. Additionally taking a look at a number of the security issues which were introduced up. However I feel the place I wished to start out was a quote with of yours the place you stated the concept that weight problems is nearly willpower is scientifically absurd.
Are you able to clarify what you imply by that?
Johann: I don’t assume I did say that. I do assume that, however I’m undecided that’s anyway. Willpower is actual and willpower performs a major 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 identify of the closest seaside to the place you reside. So I’m guessing for you, Mike, it’s Tampa and simply Google pictures of that seaside. Within the yr that I used to be born, 1979, and simply have a look at them for a minute after which come again to us, proper? For those who’ve performed that, you’ll discover one thing actually bizarre.
These folks don’t look [00:07:00] like us. For those who have a look at pictures of seashores within the yr I used to be born, just about everybody, just about all over the place on the planet, appears 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 Seaside that day? The place was everybody else?
Was it like a thin particular person conference? What was happening? And then you definately have a look at the figures. That’s what folks appear like within the yr that I used to be born. So between the yr I used to be born and the yr I turned 21, weight problems doubled in america. After which within the subsequent 20 years, extreme weight problems doubled once more, proper?
That is weird. You might have 300, 000 years the place human beings exist and there’s some weight problems. However it’s exceptionally uncommon. After which actually in my lifetime, weight problems blows up. Why? Why would that occur? Now, you possibly can say everybody simply had a mass failure of willpower. There’s only a breakdown in willpower.
That doesn’t appear very [00:08:00] believable. And now we have superb analysis on this. And now we have analysis on willpower. and each its actuality and its limits. In actual fact, we all know why this occurred, as a result of it occurs, we all know why this bodily transformation in folks’s our bodies occur. It occurs all over the place the place one change takes place.
It’s the place folks transfer from principally consuming a weight-reduction plan primarily based on contemporary complete meals they ready on the day, to principally consuming a weight-reduction plan of processed and extremely processed meals, which implies meals which are constructed in factories out of chemical compounds in a course of that isn’t even 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 completely different solution to the previous form of meals, proper? And there’s a number of proof for this, and we are able to undergo a variety of it intimately if you would like, and I am going by means of a variety of it within the ebook, however if you wish to perceive the guts of it, I feel you’ve received 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 received a load of rats and he raised them in a cage.
And all they needed to eat was the form of pure, complete meals that rats developed to eat over hundreds of years. And when that’s all they needed to eat, the rats would eat once they have been hungry. And they’d cease once they have been full. So that they had some form of pure sign that simply stated, Hey guys, you’ve had sufficient, cease now.
So that they by no means turned fats or chubby when that was the one meals supply that they had. Then Dr. Kenny launched them to the fashionable American weight-reduction 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-reduction plan.
They might actually dive into the cheesecake and eat their approach 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 form [00:10:00] of meals simply disappeared and so they all turned severely overweight.
Then Dr. Kenny tweaked the experiment once more in a approach that feels to me a bit merciless as a former KFC addict. He took away all this American weight-reduction plan And left them with nothing however the wholesome meals and he was certain he knew what would occur. He thought they might eat extra of the wholesome meals than that they had firstly and this could show that publicity to the American weight-reduction 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 that they had the American weight-reduction plan and it was taken away, they refused to eat something in any respect. It was like they now not acknowledged the wholesome meals as meals. They solely went again to consuming it once they have been actually ravenous to demise. Now, I’d argue we’re all dwelling in a model of that Cheesecake Park experiment.
The meals we’re consuming is undermining our capability to ever really feel full and get the sign from our physique saying, hey, cease consuming now, proper? Now, we didn’t select that, proper? Extra three yr previous American kids know what the McDonald’s M means than know their very own final identify. They didn’t select that. I didn’t select that.
You didn’t select that. [00:11:00] 65 % of the energy the common American baby eats in a day are from extremely processed meals. That’s not by selection. That’s undermining our capability to really feel full from the second we’re born. And now you can willpower can play a job in correcting that. Like I say, it’s actual.
Everybody listening may have had the expertise of exercising willpower over one thing, proper? I almost had one other glass of espresso earlier than I did this podcast. I get it. I’ll really, I’ll simply, I’ll sound like a coke addict. I’ll be like Al Pacino on the finish of Scarface if I begin doing that. That was willpower, proper?
Willpower is actual. However you train willpower in a wider context and we’re current in a wider meals setting that’s systematically undermining our willpower.
Mike: And within the ebook, Magic Capsule, you determined to attempt Ozempic. And the way did that have go? And notably, have been there any shocking unwanted side effects that you simply didn’t count on?
How did that have examine to what you have been anticipating?
Johann: [00:12:00] Getting into, I felt actually conflicted. I bear in mind so vividly the second I realized concerning the existence of those medication. It was the winter of 2022. And it was that second on the finish of the pandemic when the world was opening up once more. And I received 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 immediately felt this type of wave of dread is just too sturdy a phrase, however like self consciousness.
As a result of I assumed, I used to be fairly fats firstly of the pandemic and I gained various weight throughout it. And I assumed, oh, it is a bit embarrassing. However then I immediately thought, wait a minute, the general public I do know gained weight throughout the pandemic. This social gathering goes to be actually fascinating.
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 good friend of mine on the dance flooring and I stated to her. Wow, it appears 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 he or she pulled up on her telephone and a picture of an Ozempic pen. And that was after I realized, 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 frightened about, however this isn’t a fad.
We now have a brand new drug. That provides folks a staggering quantity of weight reduction. The typical one who makes use of Ozempic Wigobi loses 15 % of their physique weight. The typical one who makes use of Menjaro, which is the following on this new class of revolutionary weight reduction medication, loses [00:14:00] 21 % of their physique weight.
And the following one that can come on-line in all probability early subsequent yr, Triple G, the common particular person loses 25 % of their physique weight, solely a bit of bit under bariatric surgical procedure, staggering. And as quickly as I realized this. I had two very sturdy 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 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.
Truly, makes worse or causes over 200 identified medical situations. 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 approach 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 medication, the most important defenders of the medication, the most important critics of the medication, and actually do a deep dive into what are the advantages and dangers right here.
And what’s this extraordinary. Revolution. This medical breakthrough going to imply for all of us. And naturally, as you stated, I took the drug myself, however I can’t actually analysis this with out taking it myself. So I took it as properly.
Mike: And the way was that have if you took it and the way did it examine 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 hearken to specialists and even to know the mechanisms of motion and so forth. And it’s one other factor to essentially expertise it. And I’ve not skilled it. Most of the folks listening haven’t many individuals probably have, however for the various who haven’t, there in all probability are many who’ve thought 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 folks I’d advocate it to, however
Johann: yeah, it’s a very vital query. 47 % of People now wish to take these medication partly as a result of everybody who takes them then turns into a form of strolling as commercial for the medication.
Persons are like, whoa, what occurred to Bob? It’s half. It’s half of Bob. The place did he go? He stole the opposite half. It’s, how does it really feel? There have been a number of ups and downs. The preliminary impact is. It was weird. So I bear in mind the second day after I’d taken Ozempe, I awoke and after 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 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 medication make you are feeling very full, very quick. So it’s not, take into consideration typical 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 medication is we don’t completely know the way 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 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 medication do is that they inject you, or within the tablet kind they provide 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 a complete week, which implies after I begin to eat that rooster sandwich, [00:18:00] I’m already fairly near full.
So fairly rapidly, the sign of, Hey, Johan, cease, you’ve had sufficient kicks in. So it produces, as I stated, dramatic quantity of weight reduction for me. I misplaced only a staggering quantity of slight, almost 20 % 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 unwanted side effects. I am going by means of within the ebook 12 vital dangers related to these medication, so long as enormous, alongside enormous advantages. I’m certain we’re going to unpick each, however the, by way of the dangers that I’m describing are completely different to the unwanted side effects, proper?
So the commonest facet impact by far is nausea. That most individuals. Nearly everybody, once they begin taking these medication, 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 light nausea, if I had randomly felt nauseous like that someday, 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 a bit of bit tough. From then on, each week after I injected myself, I felt mildly nauseous the following day and regularly 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 speak about, however I by no means get nauseous.
The nausea now. In order that’s commonest unwanted side effects together with a burping constipation. However I used to be separate that from the advantages of dangers.
Mike: Yeah. So minor unwanted side effects by way of 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 know that’s what drives weight reduction.
And that’s actually the good thing about it. And coming again to the willpower level that you simply spoke about simply so as to add a remark to that, For folks listening who’ve by no means actually struggled to drop some weight, as a result of in my expertise interacting with these folks, they don’t fairly perceive what it’s [00:20:00] prefer to, for instance, we are able to begin with simply being hungry on a regular basis.
And that could be a widespread expertise for individuals who have struggled with their weight for a very long time. Lots of these individuals are simply hungry on a regular basis. And for any person who has not skilled that, or doesn’t typically expertise that, They don’t perceive simply how troublesome that may be to take care of. And for folks 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-reduction plan, you in all probability have been hungry.
Lots, and also you have been experiencing cravings rather a lot. So now think about that was simply your default urge for food on a regular basis, no matter physique composition. And so the issue of willpower, even you’ll hear folks, even skilled bodybuilders speak about this, that when you get deep sufficient right into a weight-reduction plan and your urge for food reaches a sure, it crosses a sure threshold, it’s solely a [00:21:00] matter of time.
Till you lose the battle that you would be able to solely apply willpower irrespective of who you’re for therefore lengthy till your urge for food wins. And so once more, individuals who play with their physique composition for a dwelling, they know that and so they plan for that of their weight-reduction plan and so forth.

Johann: Now, that’s such an vital level. There have been a number of issues I realized within the analysis of the ebook 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 performed the very best analysis on the, when do diets work and when do they not work? And it’s fascinating, When she began researching this across the yr 2000, the proof was completely unambiguous on diets, diets work.
Enormous, many hundreds of research demonstrating that diets work for the plain cause that in case you, such as you stated, in case you burn extra energy than you devour, you drop some weight, that you simply’d need to deny the legal guidelines of physics to disclaim that, proper? When she checked out this in additional element, she seen nearly all of the analysis on the efficacy of diets checked out it.
Individuals who weight-reduction plan for 3 months, a few of them checked out six months. So principally you lose a variety of weight after which the folks doing the examine simply assume and then you definately stay fortunately ever after at that decrease [00:23:00] weight till you die, proper? Everybody listening will know individuals who dieted and can discover that’s not the fact of it.
Actually that’s what Professor Mann seen. I do know tons of people that You recognize, it is a bizarre time-frame to take a look at. So she then gathered all of the proof that had solely been about, I feel it was 24 research on the time that checked out dieters over two years, slightly than three months to 6 months.
And over the 2 yr timeframe, what you discover could be very completely different. The overwhelming majority of individuals regain the load they’ve misplaced. Not everybody, and it’s vital to notice, it’s not everybody. There’s a major minority, it’s about 15 to twenty % who don’t, however most individuals do. It’s fascinating, what’s, why would that be?
What’s happening there? And this pertains to a very fascinating debate concerning the new, revolutionary new weight reduction medication. We’ve talked about how they’ve this impact, GLP 1, that has this impact in your pancreas and your intestine. So it was initially thought, what these medication do is that they simulate GLP 1 is a intestine hormone, so the impact of those medication should be totally on the intestine.
They need to decelerate intestine motility, issues like that should be how they work. [00:24:00] And so they do have that impact. However it’s more and more clear, and I interviewed the innovative neuroscientists on this, it’s more and more clear really these medication don’t work totally on the intestine, they work totally on the mind.
They modify what you need. There’s an enormous debate about how they modify the mind, and it’s frankly disconcerting to go and interview a number of actually good neuroscientists and go, what’s it doing to my mind? And so they go, yeah, we’re probably not certain. However one key concept, which I discovered fairly persuasive, though it’s contested, and there are different theories.
Compelling theories. One concept pertains to this query about weight-reduction plan failure. There’s some stuff we learn about weight-reduction plan that’s actually fascinating. For those who return to the 60s, there was a concept that was developed about weight-reduction plan and simply physique weight extra typically, which was, it was often known as set level concept.
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 if you’re born as a human being, you could have a set level in your physique temperature, proper? [00:25:00] For those who go above your physique needs to maintain you inside a really slim vary across the physique temperature that’s wholesome in 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 under 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’ll’t actually go outdoors that vary for very lengthy with out your physique combating again actually arduous. So within the 60s, they thought, by analogy, if you’re born, You’ve received a sure set level in your physique weight that’s simply mounted from if you’re, from start, proper?
And, it or a bit of 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 must throw out set level concept when it applies to weight, [00:26:00] proper? It simply doesn’t work as a result of in case your physique weight was set, how might it enhance a lot?
However then a very fascinating adjustment to the science occurred for folks like Professor Michael Lowe at Drexel College, who I interviewed. What they, from trying on the proof, what they started to appreciate is your physique does have a set level in your weight, however as your weight rises, your physique takes that larger set level as its new set level.
So let’s think about two equivalent twins, proper? You don’t need to think about, a British author referred to as Chris Von Tullochan, who’s a scientist who’s one in every of equivalent twins within the second tip. Image two equivalent twins, one in every of them beneficial properties, 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 larger weight. It slows down your metabolism. It makes you crave extra fatty meals. For those who have been ready by means of drive of willpower by means of a hardcore weight-reduction plan and train program to come back down, you’ll really, as a result of your physique [00:27:00] is making an attempt to drive you again up, you’d need to eat considerably fewer energy than your equivalent twin to stay in even the identical weight, proper?
And I bear in mind after I first realized this about set level concept. Pondering I simply don’t see how that may be true, as a result of on condition that weight problems is so dangerous in 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 scenario we reside in now, the place you could have surplus energy in your complete life, extra energy than you possibly can ever devour throughout you eternally 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 completely different menace, which is famine.
It was fairly seemingly within the circumstances the place people developed that you simply 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? For those who image, if a famine comes alongside tomorrow, [00:28:00] me at my fattest would survive and timothy chalamet would die in week one proper and kate moss and i might cry over their our bodies bury them in all probability eat them to be sincere and you realize i might nonetheless be standing proper so really within the circumstances the place we developed it made sense For those who 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 isn’t going to occur, proper? So we’ve ended up maladapted to the environment. And the rationale this pertains to the medication, other than clearly explaining why diets fail normally, is one concept about what these medication 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 girls all over the place. 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 medication could also be doing is definitely reducing your set level.
This can be a extra crude analogy than any of the scientists would use. However the way in which I started to think about it, it’s nearly like taking your iPhone again to the manufacturing facility settings, proper? It’s like reducing your set level. In order that’s one concept about what’s happening right here. That’s actually true about why diets fail.
And it’s a believable concept, however I wouldn’t take it additional than that for why the medication could have a few of that dramatic
Mike: impact. And simply to touch upon the purpose of diets that fail versus diets that don’t primarily based on not simply my understanding of related literature, but additionally what I’ve seen now, and lots of people through the years is there.
There are some commonalities among the many individuals who do efficiently get there by means of. I assume you possibly can say willpower, however additionally they, they create their routine in order that it requires as little willpower as doable with being particular about the kind of meals that you simply’re consuming and the macronutrient breakdown web macronutrient [00:30:00] composition of your weight-reduction plan, for instance, totally dropping extremely processed meals out of the weight-reduction plan, consuming a excessive protein weight-reduction plan being Conscientious about vegetable consumption and fruit consumption and in consuming much more servings, like getting as much as 68 servings of fruit and veggies per day, even as far as, creating zucchini soup is a tip that I’ve shared that.
For some cause, zucchini, simply in my expertise with folks, 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 might speak about analysis by way of how excessive depth versus low depth tends to have an effect on urge for food, however it may differ particular person by particular person. And so discovering out what kind of train for you tends to show your urge for food off, however a variety of these methods once more, come again to the guts of the matter, which is urge for food.
Loads 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 stored it off is that they used a variety of these techniques to create once more, a routine that not solely permits them to persistently drop some weight, however permits them to only preserve urge for food.
Low and preserve 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, possibly there are particular treats which are allowed and different treats that aren’t allowed as a result of for no matter cause, 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 cause, they will have 100 energy of darkish chocolate and so they really feel satiated. Once more, the purpose that only for folks listening is when you’ve got been battling Reducing weight and maintaining it off merely by means of weight-reduction plan and [00:32:00] train, and if it’s been notably a matter of urge for food and cravings, it might be that you want to get extra specific concerning the particulars, and also you might need to micromanage the method a bit of bit greater than another person who possibly it’s for purely simply physiological causes.
There might 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 stage and so they eat sufficient protein. They don’t actually take note of the remaining and so they simply keep their calorie deficit and transfer on once more, bringing it again to those medication from what I’ve gathered is that they’re serving to many individuals expertise.
It’s a bit greater than you possibly can obtain by means of simply weight-reduction 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 end result that’s all it required.
Johann: Yeah, I [00:33:00] assume that’s a very vital level. And I’d positively say in case you’re chubby and overweight or chubby or overweight, and also you’re listening to this, attempt to drop some weight by means of weight-reduction plan and train first. I doubt that there’s a single chubby or overweight particular person listening. I’ve not tried that, however like it’s best to positively.
Mike: Positive. Nonetheless, the way you go about it issues although that’s simply all I would like folks to know is that there are a variety of dangerous diets on the market, sadly, that attempt with the sledgehammer and that’s all they’ve,
Johann: no, that’s a very vital level. I’d additionally say in case you’ve tried weight-reduction plan and train and so they haven’t labored, what you now need to do.
A, there’s excellent news, which is there’s a staggering new software, which works rather well at sure issues in these medication. But additionally I’d say what you now need to do. is approach too competing units of dangers if diets haven’t labored for you. The primary threat is the danger of constant to be chubby or overweight.
And by the way in which, you don’t need to be massively fats for well being threat to kick in. Even simply at being barely chubby, the well being dangers begin to kick in. I’m [00:34:00] embarrassed to say this as a result of this can be gained’t be information to you, Mike, in any respect, however of all of the issues I realized for the ebook, the factor that the majority shocked me was actually trying with a transparent eye at how unbelievably dangerous in your weight problems really is.
Weight problems makes principally all the pieces we concern medically. considerably extra seemingly. It makes you considerably extra prone to get dementia, makes you considerably extra prone to get most cancers, makes you considerably extra prone to have a stroke, which is the factor medical doctors most concern getting, makes you considerably extra prone to have a coronary heart assault, makes you considerably extra seemingly you’ll have a horrible previous age the place you possibly can’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 if you reverse weight problems, you massively enhance well being outcomes. You probably have bariatric surgical procedure within the seven years that observe, you’re 56 % much less prone to die of a coronary heart assault. You might be 60 % much less prone to die of most cancers. [00:35:00] You’re 92 % much less prone to die of diabetes associated causes.
In actual fact, it’s so good in your well being. You’re 40 % much less prone to die in any respect in these seven years, proper? So there’s that set of dangers. You’ve received to weigh them towards the dangers of those medication. that are vital. And I am going by means of within the ebook 12 vital dangers, which I wish to clarify are completely different from the unwanted side effects, vital dangers which are related to these medication.
And Totally different folks will make completely different calculations. Like I say, I’ve a protracted historical past of coronary heart illness in my household. The boys die younger. So for me, the truth that these medication scale back your threat of coronary heart assault or stroke by 20%, in case you take them and also you began with a BMI larger than 27 was completely decisive for me, proper?
I used to be identical to, okay, I’m in. For different folks. That won’t be the suitable calculation. I don’t assume there’s a one measurement matches all steerage on this. I feel folks, I hope, what I hope my ebook Magic Capsule helps folks to do, in addition to, serving to to know how these medication 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 received right here, how we are able to get out of this dilemma of tourism being fats or being drugged.
I hope folks, provides me an opportunity to go down the record of, okay, what are the advantages, What are the dangers? What applies to me? Ought to I make this resolution for myself or not?
Mike: Are you able to converse to a number of the extra vital of the 12 dangers? As a result of, that is, as the truth that there are dangers, there’s a little bit of controversy over, some folks roughly dismiss any such issues and attempt to promote the medication 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 medication stated to me, there are two varieties of medication. There are medication with unwanted side effects and there are medication that don’t work. You don’t get the advantages of medication with out dangers, proper?
There’s no such factor. It’s, it might be a infantile mind-set. So by way of the dangers, it’s vital to emphasize. For those who ask scientists who’ve studied this intimately concerning the dangers, [00:37:00] typically what they are saying is definitely we all know rather a lot about these medication as a result of diabetics have now been taking them for almost 20 years, proper?
For individuals who don’t know, along with having this impact on urge for food, these medication additionally deal with kind 2 diabetes as a result of they stimulate the creation of insulin. So they are saying, look, diabetics have been taking them for 20 years. We’ve received various knowledge on diabetics. It’s a very vital 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 protection of those medication.
So he went away, he seemed on the proof, and he began to take a look at the proof from kind 2 diabetics. It’s very primary. They’ve superb medical databases in France as a result of you possibly can’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 medication.
with teams of diabetics who have been comparable in each different approach, however had not taken these semaglutides. And what his analysis appeared to point is that in case you took these medication, you have been considerably extra prone to develop thyroid most cancers. In actual fact you have been, the rise within the threat was actually, it was 50%, which after I heard that, I used to be like, whoa.
And he stated no, you’ve received to know that doesn’t imply in case you take the drug, you could have a 50 % 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 threat was firstly, it goes up by 50%.
Proper now, thyroid most cancers is a uncommon type of most cancers. 1. 2 % of individuals get it of their lifetime. 80 % of individuals survive it. Nonetheless, If he’s proper, once more, stress is contested, that’s a major enhance in a comparatively small threat. 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 issues, and that doesn’t fear for me, fear me for myself, as a result of I’m not going to develop an consuming dysfunction, I’m extremely assured with that, however that worries me for lots of younger 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 side 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 medication 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 medication 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 medication outweighed the dangers.
And that was the very best judgment name that they had primarily based on the proof that they had on the time. It was solely, what, 40, 45 years down the road that it was found For those who take these medication for a very very long time, you’re far more prone to get [00:40:00] dementia. Now, it’s not that the scientists within the 50s and 60s have been being negligent.
There was simply no approach you possibly can know that, proper? You needed to have folks take it for a very lengthy time frame. It’s doable, now I’m not suggesting medication will trigger dementia, there’s no cause to consider that, nevertheless it’s simply doable that there’ll be one thing that these medication do, particularly when you think about they primarily work by activating core elements of the mind, it’s doable that additional down the road these medication may have some disastrous unwanted side effects and somebody will discover this podcast to go what for he was to take these medication.
Now, towards that, I’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 medication, however we do know the long run dangers of weight problems. And successfully, the long run results of medication must be horrific to outweigh the long run dangers of weight problems.
Now, that 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 properly, however that’s, yeah, and there’s different issues I’m frightened about for different folks that I’m not as frightened about for myself.
Mike: You talked about [00:41:00] consuming issues and notably, I feel you stated in youthful ladies.
Johann: This can be a enormous downside. So everybody, I’m guessing just about everybody listening has identified somebody with, to call one of many larger consuming issues, anorexia, one of many extra widespread consuming issues.
Mike: Or a point of orthorexia, fairly widespread within the health world specifically.
Johann: For those who 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 reside and desires to eat. After which there’s the psychological a part of them that for sophisticated causes needs to starve themselves. And what these medication do in case 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 wishes to eat.
And for this reason Dr. Kimberly Dennis is without doubt one of the main consuming issues specialists in america. You need to have her on as properly. Nice particular person. It says, these medication are rocket gasoline for consuming issues. I’m actually frightened along with extraordinary advantages for folks like me, if we don’t tighten the regulation round these medication.
We’re going to [00:42:00] have an opioid like wave of demise toll, of deaths, of younger women, and consuming issues just do, are overwhelming the younger women. Clearly you get some boys, some older ladies, nevertheless it’s overwhelming the younger women, who’re capable of starve themselves to demise, who wouldn’t have been ready to do this had they not, had entry to those medication.
And the entry subject is a very massive deal in the meanwhile as a result of look, I can see you, Mike, proper? You don’t qualify for these medication. You need to, until you’re diabetic, kind 2 diabetes. For those who went to a physician for these medication, you shouldn’t be given them in response to the medical pointers. I assure you, you possibly can hold up on me now.
And inside an hour, have a zoom name the place you’ll get given these medication.
Mike: No, you’re not clearly not a threat supervisor. Just like TRT now exploding, you possibly can 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 issues specialists like Dr. Dennis say, and I strongly agree with them, [00:43:00] is we have to urgently tighten the regulation. Firstly, you shouldn’t be capable of get these medication on Zoom, as a result of how are you measuring folks’s BMI on Zoom, proper?
It’s meaningless. A, it’s best to get on Zoom. You need to need to go in particular person to see a physician. That physician ought to weigh you and examine you. If you don’t meet the standards, you shouldn’t be given them. So in case you’re not diabetic or chubby or overweight, you shouldn’t be given them. And they need to be educated in recognizing folks with consuming issues and they need to refer you.
Now, that’s not excellent. You may get a good friend to go and get it for you. There are leaky, there are holes in that, however that may save lots of people. So the way in which I take into consideration these medication, it is a barely excessive approach of placing it, however solely barely. These medication are such a strong software.
They’re like the invention of fireplace, proper? Fireplace is a good software. If I exploit it to warmth up my home, it’s a very awful software. If I exploit it to burn down your home in the identical approach, this breakthrough is so staggering. It may be used for nice good and nice hurt, and it may and can be used for each. So [00:44:00] we have to.
One of many issues I hope my ebook is a form of likelihood for us to, we’re actually dwelling by means of a staggering scientific revolution. We’ve cracked the code of what controls human urge for food as one of many scientists who developed these medication. Put it to me, we actually must pause and take into consideration what that’s going to imply for our financial system, our society, our our bodies, ourselves, how we really feel about ourselves.
The ebook known as Magic Capsule as a result of there’s 3 ways these medication might be magic, proper? The primary approach is the obvious. It might simply remedy the issue of weight problems. I received to let you know, Mike, there are days it looks like that. My complete 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 approach it might be magic is way more disturbing. It might be like a magic trick. It might be just like the magician who reveals you a card trick whereas he picks your pocket. It might be that over time, 12 dangers related to these medication outweigh the advantages.
I don’t assume that’s the more than likely situation for most individuals, however you actually can’t rule it out. The third approach it [00:45:00] might be magic is definitely what I feel is the more than likely. Take into consideration the tales of magic that you simply and me grew up with. Take into consideration Aladdin, proper? You discover the lamp, you rub it, the genie seems, Robin Williams grants your needs, and so they come true, however by no means fairly in the way in which you anticipated.
There’s all the time cascading, unpredictable results to the magic, proper? Take into consideration Fantasia, take into consideration all these tales. We’re already seeing that. I take into consideration the results on the financial system, proper? Krispy Kreme shares are tanking. All of the quick meals corporations are already freaking out. Eating places commerce is basically worrying.
In LA, there’s been an enormous run on jewelers as a result of so many individuals’s fingers have shrunk that their wedding ceremony rings don’t match them anymore. There’s gonna be all types of big, Jeffrey’s Monetary simply did a report for the American airways. a couple of yr and a half in the past exhibiting, saying to them, you’re going to have to spend so much much less cash on jet gasoline fairly quickly as a result of the inhabitants is about to get rather a lot 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 have to be warned about and ready for. So yeah, I feel we actually want To consider it is a nice second. This can be 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 way more fascinating story that’s unfolding throughout us.
Mike: You talked about earlier that one thing else you mentioned within the ebook. And I wished to observe up with a query on is let’s assume that there could also be commerce offs, nevertheless it’s principally.
The magic is usually optimistic and now we have lots of people who’ve misplaced a variety of weight and to some extent we’ve solved weight problems, not less than sufficient to, let’s say reverse the alarming pattern that the trajectory really it really begins to downtrend simply of simply BMI. And the place although, do you see.
The place issues might go [00:47:00] from there, the place now we have lots of people now who’re utilizing these medication and my understanding of primarily based on a few earlier interviews that I did is one of the best ways for folks to succeed long run with these medication is to whereas utilizing them, use that as a possibility to begin to ingrain the habits that assist with pure weight upkeep and that may, that Embody a number of the stuff I discussed beforehand, the identical varieties of profitable little strategies and techniques that folks use to weight-reduction plan efficiently with out the usage of any medication, or possibly the worst, they’re the, they use caffeine or one thing, or possibly it’s a Fedrin, proper?
And so whereas they’re utilizing. Was that Baker or Govey or a few of these different two others that you simply talked about, they use that to now begin to simply get within the behavior of. Consuming in a sure approach exercising in a sure approach on a sure schedule. So then as soon as they attain their goal physique [00:48:00] composition, they’re capable of wean off the drug and keep a wholesome physique weight, a wholesome physique composition.
And that’s a variety. And in order that’s the perfect situation so far as I perceive it. Nonetheless, there are various folks and also you talked about that you simply’re nonetheless taking the drug and I wished to ask about that as properly. 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 keep a wholesome physique weight or a wholesome physique composition. And so trying 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 now we 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 presently utilizing the drug and is there any conceivable approach that we are able to get it? To cross that part and to the place now we don’t have 50 to, who is aware of, 70 % of our inhabitants having used or utilizing the drug and now have not less than capable of keep a big diploma of the well being advantages that we’ve skilled by means of that closely drugged face, however.
Johann: So partly the reply to your query is unknown as a result of there’s a giant debate about do these medication work after you cease taking them. So what the drug corporations say is completely not. They’re like statins or blood strain meds, whilst you take them they work, and if you cease, your ldl cholesterol or your blood strain return to what they have been earlier than.
So they are saying these medication imply you drop some weight whilst you take them, after which if you cease, your weight will return to what it was earlier than. And the drug [00:50:00] corporations have to date one examine which does exhibit 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 bit of bit skeptical of that as a result of the drug corporations clearly have a vested curiosity in us shopping for it from them eternally. Nonetheless, these have been severe scientists who produced this examine and it does appear fairly respected. That’s the one proof now we have in the meanwhile. 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 simply 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 isn’t the selection that now we have to reside with. And if you wish to perceive why it’s not the selection now we have to reside with, I went to Japan for the ebook.
Japan is the third richest nation on the planet, and it has nearly no weight problems in any respect. There are, greater than 40 % of People are overweight, lower than 4 % of individuals in Japan are overweight. It has. actually nearly no childhood weight problems. It’s a bizarre factor. I went to Japanese faculties, you stroll round a college of a thousand kids and there’s not one single fats baby in that college.
It’s bizarre. And also you hear that and also you assume it should be that the Japanese folks gained the genetic lottery, proper? They need to simply genetically be much less prone to develop into fats. However we all know that’s not true as a result of within the late nineteenth century, a great deal of Japanese folks moved to Hawaii the place I used to be lately. And Japanese Hawaiians.
having been there now for 5 generations, are nearly as fats as everybody else in Hawaii, proper? So you progress, Japanese folks transfer to America and keep lengthy sufficient, they get as fats as different People, proper? In order that’s not what’s taking place. It’s not, their genes can’t probably have developed that quickly in such a [00:52:00] brief time frame.
So there’s one thing in the way in which Japanese folks reside. 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 youngsters. They do all types of issues to do some issues that we completely wouldn’t do.
They’re unthinkable in our societies, however when you’re over the age of 40 in Japan, everybody will get weighed by their boss annually. And in case you’re chubby, you must 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. And so they’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 elements of Japanese tradition that we are able to’t assimilate, however many who we are able to, and [00:53:00] we completely ought to. Trigger this variation. Your grandparents weren’t overweight. My grandparents weren’t overweight, proper? Truly, two of mine have been, however they have been outliers of their era.
And, it is a very latest change. We eat in a approach that may have been unrecognizable to our nice grandparents. Unattainable, really.
Mike: Yeah,
Johann: actually unimaginable. You’re precisely proper. We don’t have to only financial institution that. That we’ve been screwed over by the meals business as if that’s only a given, proper?
Japan is an actual place. It will possibly really feel a bit sci fi generally, however it’s a actual place. They didn’t enable it to be performed to them and their youngsters, proper? We will make that selection, too. And I speak very clearly within the ebook about how we are able to do it and the way we get there. Within the meantime, for somebody like me, Look, I’m the place I’m.
I’m gonna make the selection I’ve gotta make. However we must always change the tradition within the society and the meals provide system such that not everyone seems to be trapped into making this considerably dangerous selection that I’ve needed to make.
Mike: Completely. And I completely agree and I’d advocate that [00:54:00] folks get the ebook and browse it and notably this a part of it, as a result of anyone, I’ve two youngsters and so this dialogue.
Personally, it’s a bit extra private for me. I’m not involved about myself however precisely. So the purpose that you simply’re making is I’ve been fairly conscientious about exposing my youngsters to what it means to eat comparatively unprocessed. What, how ought to we really be consuming and limiting their publicity to those different meals and so forth for all the explanations that you simply’ve talked about.
Johann: It’s humorous you say that as a result of I grew up in so the alternative setting. My mom is Scottish and it’s the nation that invented the deep fried Mars bar. If anybody has by no means had one, don’t do it. And it’s not a well being obsessed tradition. There’s {a photograph} of me and my mom after I’m six months previous, the place she’s breastfeeding me, smoking and resting the ashtray on my abdomen.
And when I discovered this photograph a couple 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 utterly [00:55:00] unrepentant. So yeah, she was not occupied with how will 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 incredible image. That one ought to be in a body.
Johann: I wished to place it within the ebook. And he or she stated you’re not placing my tits in a ebook. She stated, I’m very offended about that as properly.
Mike: That’s nice. That’s an incredible story. We’re developing on time. And and naturally the ebook is magic tablet.
Individuals can get it to wherever they prefer to get books. And is there the rest that you simply want to inform them about anyplace, social media or any, anyplace the place you’re lively?
Johann: For those who go to magic tablet ebook. com, you possibly can see the place to get the audio ebook, the e-book or the bodily ebook. You possibly can see the place to observe me on social media.
I received in bother 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 chuckle. And I’ve this very dangerous behavior. If. If I inform a joke and somebody doesn’t chuckle, I double down on the joke. And I stated, that present to catch a predator the place they catfish pedophiles. I stated, the following season of to catch a predator ought to simply be, they go as much as grownup males on the street and say, what’s your Snapchat profile?
And in the event that they’ve received one, simply instantly arrest them, throw them within the van. And he didn’t chuckle. I later seemed him up and he’s he’s a 50 yr previous man with an lively presence on Snapchat.
