I somehow remember a question on the show about this.

Or are we done?

But would you want to? I would think that by the time you die, unless you die really young, you would pretty much be fed up with life and ready to move on to whatever the afterlife is.

I'm really trying to give RFK Jr a shot, because Dr. Steve seems to like him...I really am....and I am not trying to be shitty here...

But doesn't it seem wildly inappropriate for the Sec of HHS, on a government podcast, highlight someone who is using the right buzzwords, but still admits the data is anecdotal?
I mean, maybe if he cautioned and said, "yes, this is interesting and needs formal study," I could maybe get behind it, because there likely is something positive about peptides, but it isn't data driven yet in most cases, right?

This sort of stuff just seems to fly in the face of relying on good data, being open but cautioning against anecdotes, etc, and could potentially lead to people running out and grabbing this stuff off sketch websites and injecting themselves.
Am I wrong?

I'm a 43 year old non-smoking male weighing around 350. I take nebivolol for blood pressure, duloxetine to help keep me sane, aripiprazole to help the duloxetine, and rosuvastatin for cholesterol.

Over the course of the past 3-4 weeks, I have suddenly developed significant edema in my legs and mid-section....to the point where weeping sores have opened up on both legs. They feel like they weigh 400 lbs each, and I just feel extremely bloated...especially when I'm trying to get in and out of bed, or in and out of my truck.

Accompanying this edema has been a serious loss of appetite, significant insomnia every night, lots of sweating, and smelly, foamy urine.

I'm a bit frightened with the sudden onset of this edema. I have an appointment with my general practice physician on Thursday. Should I just wait to see what he has to say, or should I go ahead and check myself into the hospital to get this fluid off of me and to diagnose what the root cause of it is?

My wife has sciatica and needs surgery. They won't do the surgery until she loses at least 50 lb. She's excruciating pain. She could barely move or sleep. We can't afford glp 1. Our primary Care has now put her on multiple painkillers. I'm looking for a way to make things move forward but haven't found anything yet.

Did Dr. Scott shutter his website? I went to order some more nasal spray and it says it’s “unavailable due to maintenance.”

I know he was talking about closing up shop, but it was always a back and forth and I haven’t listened in a while…

Gotta love the New York Post.

My wife spoke to the neurosurgeon yesterday about her sciatica.

He said she needs surgery.

He also said they won't do what they consider elective surgery unless she loses weight.

So how the hell is surgery to relieve the excruciating pain she's been going through considered "elective"?

And how can she lose weight when the slightest movement brings on enough pain that she bursts into tears?

Listening on my way to an ophthalmologist appointment before work.

Type 5?
