9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: What do you do at an ozempic conference? Do they

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: feed you?

11
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: Well, it's not actually an o Zimpic conference. It's the

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: largest esthetic show in America, so out there they have

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: everything there, but weight management is a key part of it.

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: They have a lot of medi spars that go so yeah,

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: we're part of that.

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: Right. Is there much demand? Do you think there's going

17
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: to be a lot of demand for waygov in New Zealand?

18
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: Well, if it follows the US, yes, over twelve percent,

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: over twelve percent of the Marria can have either been

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: on or are on. We're go v now. So it's

21
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: massive growth here and yeah, it's a household name.

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,919
Speaker 1: Cost is also massive though apparently four hundred and forty

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: dollars and six hundred dollars for a pack of five pens. Apparently,

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: is this going to be a p Is it going

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: to be in reach for the people who might need

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: it most?

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: Well, it is expensive and in fact in the US

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: for that pack it's about a thousand US dollars, so

29
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: not quite as much in New Zealand, but yes, it

30
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: will be between five or six hundred sALS. I'm sorry,

31
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: five hundred to six hundred dollars. I think people have

32
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: to be aware of, you know, first of all, the cost,

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: it is very expensive. I think secondly, the side effects.

34
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: Over seventy percent of people will have gastro intestinal problems

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: and that really can go from nausea to constipation to

36
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: even diary. But you know, so there are signal and

37
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: when you're taking any drug there are side effects and

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: these have significant gashtro and testinal effects. And the third

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: thing I think people have to be aware of is

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: that over two thirds, so over seventy percent of people

41
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: regain the weight in a year. So without lifestyle changes,

42
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: that weight's just going to come straight back on. And

43
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: it's not great weight when it comes on because you

44
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: also on wed go, you lose a lot of muscle,

45
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: so you leave both fat and muscle. So when the

46
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: weight comes back on, you're going to get more fat.

47
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: So you know, you've got to remember that. So the

48
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: lifestyle changes are important.

49
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: You've be skinny fat when you come back from it,

50
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: which is not it will be.

51
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: It's just a longer, longer for me yo yo darting

52
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 2: while we're here.

53
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're I mean, this is what I'm about

54
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: to say as you would say this, wouldn't you because

55
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: you're not you know, obviously going to go to your

56
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: GP to get way over. But you're doing more natural stuff,

57
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: aren't you. So that's what you're kind of trying to

58
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: get people on, is it.

59
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: Well, it's a combination, you see. So CALICLEB does so

60
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 2: we understand was developed by the New Zealand government. This

61
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: is over fifteen years of research and thirty million dollars.

62
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 2: So we actually discovered this and I'm selling it here

63
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 2: in the years. So how practitioners, so the conference we're

64
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: going to as all doctors, they call them practitioners, and

65
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 2: how they're using it as they're using it as an alternative.

66
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: You know, that's just what you said. The Secondly, they're

67
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: using it in combination so they can do what they

68
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: can lower the dose of we're go v right down

69
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: to its lowest level, which lowers its cost and lowers

70
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: its lowers its cost and lowers its side effects. And

71
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: the third way they're using it, which is an absolute must,

72
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: is when people are coming off the drug right because

73
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: when you tie trait off, you're natural. Because what we're

74
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: going it's a synthetic version of our appetite suppressing fill.

75
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: Mode, which is what stops you wanting to step stuff

76
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: food down your mouth, isn't it, Sarah. We have to

77
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: leave it there and we will let you get back
