“because in my view five years from now sports medicine doctors are are going to be prescribing GLP1s for people in that category of overweight with arthritic knees because they're so challenging and our old paradigm of just lose weight and your knee will feel better. Like, dude, I would if I could, but my knee hurts too much.”

“if we had a drug that was 100% effective for almost every single chronic disease, it was basically 100% efficacious, worked for every single person around the world. rich or poor, young or old, had zero side effects and only positive effects. Everybody should be prescribing this medicine.”

“we don't know the long-term effects of some of these peptides um like GLP1s and so there's some question on that but we do know the long-term effects of chronic obesity which are really dangerous to people.”

“The group that basically was given the placebo uh lost about 3% of weight. The group that that basically was given the GLP1 lost about 20% of their weight.”

“their knee pain reduced by about half and their their self-reported activity profile increased by about half compared to the placebo group.”
