1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: A zimpic is changing the world, of course, but this

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: country has the opportunity that flows from it, so we

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: grow as it turns out a key ingredient. It's a

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: natural alternative adam amata site. It's extracted from hops and

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: sales have doubled every quarter. Is a zimpic. Shortages create

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: a sort of a perfect storm for a natural alternative.

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: Now the whole category is expected to be worth they say,

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: about one hundred billion dollars by twenty thirty. Leading international

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: obesity expert doctor Ben Gonzalez is with us on this

10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: has been very good morning to you.

11
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: Well, good morning to you mate.

12
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: What's your view on this whole GLP revolution.

13
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting.

14
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 3: I've been using this medication for over seven years, and

15
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 3: of course celebrity attention just kind of shoots up, you know,

16
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 3: he shoots up the attention a couple of years ago,

17
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: and now it's become It wasn't even on the on

18
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 3: the radars less than three years ago, and now it's

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: one of the top five drugs prescribed. So I think

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: it's a very useful, powerful, safe drug, but it needs

21
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: to be used appropriately, with appropriate you know, doctor intervention.

22
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: But the problem is it isn't, is it.

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: No, it isn't. And I've been watching especially over the

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: last year and a half and watching these pop up

25
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: kind of weight loss spas. These weight losses are just

26
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: kind of selling the.

27
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 3: Drug and doctors not being fully trained on how to

28
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 3: manage the medication, just kind of writing the prescriptions willy nilly,

29
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: and and.

30
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: Then there you have it. So we've got like I said,

31
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: it's relatively safe, but but it's not being used appropriately.

32
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: This natural side of the equation, this is amarasite. Given

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: it comes from hops, presumably it was there all along.

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: Did we just not know about it or we didn't

35
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: know what it could do?

36
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: Oh? Well, definitely, we know about what bidders do for

37
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: human physiology. We know it's a protective. It's very protective

38
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: for human physiology for safety reasons, you know, all right,

39
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: especially for women, especially for pregnant women. Right. So we've

40
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: known ab out the bitter receptors, but we haven't known

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: is the usefulness of these types of things for helping

42
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: with hunger, weight loss, and blood sugger management. So yes,

43
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: we've known for a while. We've been studying it for

44
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: a while. The bottom line is that now it's coming

45
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: to fruition. The studies have been going on over the

46
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: last seven to ten years, and we're seeing the benefits

47
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: of that, this natural substance doing good.

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: Things pound for pound, as you would say in America,

49
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: if I take a zimpic versus the bitters, does it

50
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: work the same way with the same of fake do

51
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: or not?

52
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: Oh? Very good question, because that is the question that

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: time will give us some more answers. Right. That's a

54
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 2: little early because there's no studies that look at ocempic

55
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: against the emeristate or you know, comparing those two products together.

56
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: There's no studies that do that. However, we do know

57
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: with human studies that it does similar effect to a sempeic.

58
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: I've been finding in my practice that same effect of

59
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: triggering those hormones in the gut to allow for satiety,

60
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: for managing hunger and for managing blood sugar. So yes,

61
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: you do get in those days, you do get similar response.

62
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: Now we're looking for a clinical response, right, and I've

63
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: been seeing in my practice pound four pound, as you said,

64
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: I have been seeing it work very very well, similar

65
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: to the Osempics.

66
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,720
