a friend of the show talking about GLP's, ones and twos, as well as just staying healthy, getting a good diet, and yeah, having, you know, I don't know, being healthy.

That's all I got to say about that one.

Sorry about that, Pete.

I kind of just stopped right there.

It just kind of happened.

You're also muted, Pete.

I am

having all kinds of technologies.

Oh, man, we are a professional radio show where I stopped talking to him.

Pete is muted.

But yeah, that's gonna, I'm, I'm going to have a great time with that conversation coming up in just a little bit.

But before we go any further, guys, what do you say we restate the question of the night?

Love it.

What is your favorite athlete name?

Pro athlete, college athlete, whatever?

Give us a fun athlete name, folks.

There's so many good ones out there,

and

we're about to read some of them.

We got some great responses.

Some of them a little on the blue side, which is okay, and some of them actually serious.

855-7524-842-85575 Civic.

You can text us the old-fashioned way on the text line, or you could go to the app.

which is outstanding and very easy to use the Civic Media app.

And if you're watching the radio on YouTube, Facebook, or ex Twitter, you can drop us a stream comment and let us know the name of your, or a really cool athlete name.

It could be in, I picked Lawyer Malloy.

I think that's a great name.

He was a safety for years for the New England Patriots.

I just think it's a cool name, Lawyer

Malloy.

I think that's, I mean, I was always a fan of Ha Ha Clinton Dicks, but that was one.

I will say, okay, so what I'm gonna do right now,

Uh, we got, he's kind of like, you know, there's always the most popular answer to the question.

So I'm just going to say John from Madison listening to WMDX Brett from round here listening to WA UK J on the Facebook page.

So far they have all said the same name.

I haven't seen anybody else say it.

Dick trickle.

That's within context.

That is FCC

compliant.

He was a person.

He still is a person.

Um,

But they picked Dick Trickle as the best name.

We saw a lot of names based in fallacy.

Or yeah, but that's, that's accurate.

I think that was the most popular one.

Yep.

Yeah.

We got a lot of, uh, and we got a lot of references to the Key and Peel sketch.

Got Hingle McCringleberry, which is fantastic.

Uh, I said, of course, Le Carpetron, Duke Marriott.

So those were great picks there.

So that's just sort of to kick things off.

So Dick Trickle is taken care of.

Have fun with it, folks.

And look, if

you still think Dick Trickle is your favorite, you could share that too.

We'll add it to the list.

And a reminder, folks, tomorrow night is our first ever Night Light Movie Club.

And we encourage you to be part of it.

We sort of retooled the popcorn pick of the week.

We're still doing it, but it's in the form of the Night Light Movie Club.

And tomorrow night's movie,

if you want to play along is the Sandlot.

Perfect choice for the start of the baseball season here.

So that's our, in the second hour tomorrow, we're going to talk about the Sandlot and we welcome you.

We encourage you to be part of the conversation either via phone or text and tell us your thoughts on the Sandlot and, you know, be part of our Nightlight Movie Club.

First ever, tomorrow night.

That's pretty cool,

Greg.

I am very much looking forward to it.

Cause it's again, I rewatched the movie between yesterday and today.

And I think I might even watch some of it again tomorrow, just to like notes or whatnot.

But I forgot how much I, I forgot how much I love that movie.

And I forgot how much it's just like, it touches your inner soul.

It just feels really good.

We'll talk more about that tomorrow.

Looking forward to that very much.

So the premiere of the nightlight movie club.

Be part of the club folks.

Be part of the club.

It doesn't cost anything to join.

Just.

Hang out and have a good time.

So talk about our favorite scenes, favorite lines, all kinds of stuff.

It's going to be fun.

So on the Facebook page, I don't know.

Okay.

So here's the thing is I do not know the most about sports ever.

So I don't know.

I know which ones are keen peal sketches.

Like, like, uh, what was it?

Uh, Trumpeter Joe on the live stream, DeBricka Shaw Ferguson or Zayfrost Moss.

That is Nick on Facebook says Koolaid McKinstry.

I don't know if that's real.

That's what I was going to say.

And he is real.

He is real.

He's real.

Amazing.

I think University of Alabama.

Tim on the, Tim on the Facebook also says, and there's, so there's a bunch here.

Marvelous Marv Thrawnberry, Merv Rettenmond.

I feel like some of these are tricks for me to say dirty things on the air.

Wayne Van Dorp.

And I won't say the last one.

I won't, it's in context.

I don't care.

I'm not saying this last one.

You can look it up on Facebook.

What he put, I'm not saying this word live.

Which one, Greg?

No, no.

If you're just going to say Dizzy B word, that's what I'm going to say.

Dizzy B word.

So that's all I'm going to say.

Tiff, this is a rodeo professional bull rider.

I like that one.

Ryan Dirt Eater.

Did you read Tim Bakers yet?

Pete LaCook.

I know, I know I read it incorrectly right there.

I'm not saying it.

I'm okay.

I'm not gonna say the way

to the guy's name.

We can

say that.

It's not his name.

That's not a real name.

Is that really a

name?

That is a real name.

Pete La Croque.

It is.

He was in the 70s.

He was a pitcher and we would always giggle when the announcers had to say his name, as I'm sure the announcers did when he said

it.

JB, I love this.

Carl Davis.

Oh my God, that's funny.

Let's see here.

We got a on the on this on the text line Eric listening in Madison on WMDX as Harlan Huckleby old Green Bay Packers And then let's see who else here.

What it's are we done with are we not reading any more of the Facebook ones?

I was I was switching I was going back.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, I was I was Variety is the spice of life Wow I

want to repeat any

Oh, no, it's, uh, let's see.

Uh, no name here on, but they're listening on WMDX, peekaboo street for skiing, coolest professional name.

Someone also on the text line said that as well, peekaboo street.

That's a trig V. Trig V said that.

Trig V. Yeah.

Trig V. I'm, I'm really happy.

I nailed that first name on the first try.

I only know that because of Trig V Olson, but thank you, Trig V for reaching out to us.

Trig V Root.

Yeah.

Trig V Root

is a pretty

cool name too, by the way.

I mean, that's an amazing name.

I would, I would, I would, I would, they would say, how do you pronounce your first name?

I would always say,

guess.

Because there, there are no real discernible.

I mean, there's a, there's a, there's a vowel at the end.

And I know, but the Y doesn't qualify as a vowel because it doesn't qualify in the English language, but this is a stunning lack of vowels in this name.

But he

should have gone into sports with a name like that.

That's all I'm saying.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Batting first, playing trigger, trigger, trigger, root, root, root.

Monica in mount, horrible listening on WMDX says boxer Kevin Kelly, AKA the flushing flash.

I know he was from flushing New York, but he had to have had taken a lot of hits to the head to settle on that name.

Sounds more like an intestinal condition after a late night Taco bell run.

Ouch.

Dang.

That could have happened.

Carmella in the 4-1-4 says,

hey guys, the

coolest, pardon?

I was gonna say, hey, hey, come on.

Coolest name sports, Sterling Sharp.

That is a good sports name.

Thank you, Carmella.

Worst

name, Shannon Sharp.

I'll go with Sterling any day of the week.

Tyler from Wisconsin Rapids says Grim Nat Wick.

Bad boy for

the Boston Betty Boops.

Oh my God.

Hey, Grim, are you in a band?

Of course I'm in a band!

Oh, God, I love that.

You

got Monica,

let's say, oh, Chris Casper gave you a shout out, Dom.

He loves the Beatles, the tax man.

Thank you, Casper.

Thank you.

Again, a song about rock stars who don't want to pay their fair share.

Let's see here, Bridget on the text line.

I thought it was my wife at first, but it's not.

It's just the person named Bridget.

Thank you so much for listening, Babe Ruth.

That's a fun name.

And that's a funny thing about, we'll talk about more about this on a tomorrow's show with the Sandlot.

They're references to Babe Ruth, but that's...

It's a, that was a fun name as well.

We got, I want to see here.

We got another, I got another Dick trickle.

Another, thank you, Chris Casper.

And he, okay.

He, Chris, Chris, uh, poses this question.

Also our race car drivers, actually athletes.

I think the cars are the athletes there to be an athlete.

You need to be athletic billboards is an activity.

Bill billions is

activity.

I think you're just trying to rouse up some fights here, man, because I'm sorry, but I think they are sports.

I've seen, I've seen race car drivers have to train what they do in the gym to make their bodies like, you know, first of all, stay in shape.

They have to make sure that their athletes, I'm not, I'm not going to say they are, you know what

mean?

Their

heartbeat, their heartbeats get, I would say, I know where Casper's going with this.

I would disagree.

I would say race car drivers are athletes.

more so than golfers or billiards players i would say curling people that do curling that's you

have to be physically i bet their thighs burn

He takes after curling too.

He says, not a sport.

Same thing with curling.

I absolutely disagree.

I don't think you can play curling right now.

If you tried to curl at the level of those athletes in the Olympics, you would want to go and dive into a frozen lake.

So for me personally, I think that like they are athletes, they are world-class athletes and they are getting paid lots of money or getting gold medals or you know, medals of certain of alloys to

to perform their sports.

So I'm not getting, I'm not waiting in that other than saying their athletes, I'm not, I'm fine.

There we go.

Eric in the

Madison says, Harlan Huckleby, old green Bay Packers.

I remember that name.

And did you read Brett's text, Greg from Brown to your

though?

The one that just came in.

No, again, we got another DeBrick, a Shaw Ferguson wasn't.

That's such a good name.

Is that really, I thought de Brickshaw Ferguson was a, was an actual, was from the key and peel thing.

Is that really a sports?

Yeah,

he played for the Jets.

Wow.

Oh, he says it

wasn't a key and peel name.

He played.

Yeah.

Okay.

Tell me that doesn't sound like one of the vast amounts of names de Brickshaw.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Um,

Boris on the Facebook says Dick pole.

He played, he was a pitcher for the Red Sox.

Got another name there.

Mike Desital.

This might be my favorite one.

Buzz Nutter.

What?

That sounds obscene, but it's not.

Yep.

And, and, and we got proof here that Kool-Aid McKinstry was a football player.

I mean, he still might be, he played for the saints.

So it's just a lot of very interesting Dave Roller.

I mean, that's fun.

Robert Bro, Dave Roller.

Yeah.

That's, that's a good net.

You know,

Those are some great names in there.

Love that.

Love the outreach here.

I'm loving what I'm hearing from people.

I think there were some more on the text lines, but I think we, no, I think we got them all there.

So here's

another one on the text line from John.

He put a key and peel.

It's key.

Key?

It's key.

He says JR Jr.

Jr.

Oh, and Sidney politics sent us some messages here.

First of all, happy new year.

And he said UFC fighter, Andre touchy feely, name touchy.

Last name is feely.

I mean, I'm not going to say anything.

You want to, you want to tell a guy his name isn't his name.

He works for UFC.

I ain't saying I don't even mess

with Sidney politics.

Good job, Mr. Feely.

Love what you're doing.

Love the work you do.

I'm not, please don't punch me in the head.

And then finally, uh, Roger on the live stream says oil can void.

Just sounds like

guy who makes chewing tobacco while playing baseball.

I mean, just, that's just names.

Sounds amazing.

So all right.

When we come back from the break, we'll be speaking to Sherry Stoka from the owner and founder of weightless MD about GLPs, keeping a healthy diet, keeping a healthy nutrition, uh, uh, plan, but that's all to me here.

And Dom Lee, Dom Lee, as he is affectionately called, is Lake Michigan adjacent in Madison in the studio.

You can still get in on the fun.

Your favorite athlete name, that's our question tonight.

What is your favorite athlete name?

You can go phallic like most of our immature listeners, or you can give an actual mature name like I did, Lawyer Malloy.

Greg, I don't think you answered the question.

Yeah, I think I did.

I think I did.

I said, uh, um, uh, ha ha, Clinton Dix,

ha ha, Clinton Dix, of course.

All right.

So I'm one of the immature.

Or if you're watching the radio on the stream on YouTube, Facebook or X Twitter, you can send us a stream comment.

But right now we're going to keep the show rolling and bring along one of our

Nightlight Besties, she joins us periodically to talk about nutrition and diet and all kinds of fun, healthy stuff.

She is the founder of Wayless MD and Wellness, and she joins us now over the stream.

Sherry Stoka.

Hi, Sherry.

Hi.

It's great to have you.

How are you tonight?

I'm doing well.

Great to be here.

Good.

All right.

So I'm just trying to figure out, I feel like GLPs we want to get into, but maybe we'll save that for after the news break.

In the meantime, I have to ask you in your email earlier, you talked about the Jell-O trick.

What is the Jell-O trick?

I kind of read about it, but I would love to hear it from you.

mean, I knew you were gonna ask me that because it's like, there is enough people that have asked me about that, including my family members.

So I'm like, you know what?

I think I'm just gonna look into it a little bit.

And it is the epitome of like the dumbing down of America, I swear.

You know, it's like taking down, it's like, you know, like monopoly or taking advantage of the whole like everyone that's on GLPs.

So, you know, they try to twist it in a way that like, oh, it's a zero calorie sweet, you still get the dessert, it's not going to fill you up because you're never hungry on GLPs.

It has protein, which it really doesn't and has

like one amino acid.

So it doesn't really, it's not like a protein, you know, dessert.

So, you know, it fills the stomach.

So all of this non nonsense, I mean, it's absolute nonsense.

And then you get like, celebrities that like back it up, right?

So then it goes like viral, and then like everyone's trying it.

That's okay.

So I guess, you know, there's a I mean there's a whole host of things I could talk about when it comes to this topic because I said earlier I used to I used to do a pot like a not a comedy podcast but a podcast that was comedic and value about weight loss with the weight loss system Everything that goes into this I'm sure a lot of things you already know about because you are an expert in this field But we are just seeing ad upon ad upon ad now in social media that is not only selling these products that seem to be straight-up snake oil, but they are AI ing

celebrities to

indoors I saw

one the other day that had Melissa McCarthy and I'm like wow this who is she suing right now because it has her and folks listening on the radio I'm doing some pretty heavy-duty air quotes here it had Melissa McCarthy plugging a weight loss system that

I don't think she has anything to do with.

And I'm like, oh, if this is AI, I can believe in it less and it's validity.

But like, how do folks even start to wade through all of the stuff out there?

You can't.

You literally can't.

I mean, I just had my sister send me this product and I like immediately looked into it.

It was terrible.

It had like 17 celebrities that backed it up, which was like you said, I never even thought about AI, but it was probably AI

because it

had like

random scientific like PhD years to like, you know, real celebrities.

So it was like a like a hodgepodge of like people backing it up.

You know, you you just see you have to find your trusted sources.

mean, that's what it comes down to because it's a mess out there right now.

Yeah, just going back to the Jell-O trick for a moment, you know,

Is this just a way of, I remember like in the 90s, you know, my wife and I would eat pasta.

Oh, no fat, you know, like we can still gorge ourselves and not have any of the horrible.

Is that what people are doing with the Jell-O trick?

Is it a way of just to say, eventually you just have to say, I can't eat something or I can't eat that and I don't have to substitute it.

I just have to learn to live without it.

Well, okay.

So no, the Jell-O is a little bit different because it's food without calories.

You know and and people so there's like two kind of like pieces to it You know you can you can eat something that's somewhat sweet.

It's kind of a dessert and It gelatin like you know, it's kind of like spongy So I'd like when it goes in the stomach it expands so it does it will I mean, I don't remember ever it make me feel full But that's kind of like their sales pitch to it so that it may it helps you feel full you get a treat

when rather than having some dessert from Dairy Queen.

And again, they're looking at the market today.

The market is different.

The majority of people are on GLPs, and they don't want high-dense foods anymore.

They're looking for something sweet that's lighter, and so they're like, okay, yeah, do this.

If you're on a GLP, you can do it, but you can actually lose weight even if you're not on a GLP.

So it's all marketing.

And the thing too, like I have to imagine that if it starts with a simple thing of, Hey, you can have Jell-O and it can help you lose weight.

And there you go.

And then what happens in six weeks to, you know, a few months is someone comes up with a $50 Jell-O thing that says, you got to try this because on top of the Jell-O, you're also going to get this.

And people are going to say, well, I got to pay $50 for this high price Jell-O because I want to lose.

honestly, I can't believe what has happened with this Jell-O.

I I really can't

what a sentence what a sentence

I really it really but it literally did it is the dummy down of America right there yeah I mean it just is

that's crazy uh sherry stoker is our guest she is the founder of whaless md and wellness and a dietitian and nutritionist and she joins us here periodically to talk about all things health

And we're going to continue that conversation after the news.

And a reminder, folks, tomorrow night's movie for our first ever Night Light Movie Club, it's the popcorn pick of the week, is the Sandlot.

It's going to be a lot of fun.

So you guys have time to watch the film and be part of the conversation tomorrow night in hour number two.

We are coming right back with Sherry Stoka.

This is Pete Schwabba and Greg Bach on Night Light on the Civic Media Network.

Welcome back to Night Lights.

I am Pete Schwabba sitting downstate for me as Greg Vok.

Tom, sometimes I think you point when your favorite part of the song is over.

Like, we could come back a little earlier.

You just wanted to hear that next verse.

That's pretty true, you know?

And when I saw Jason Sheff up here singing all those Chicago tunes, he didn't sing that one, and that was what I was kind of hoping from his Chicago days.

Anyway, folks, we are back.

This is Night Light, and we are in the middle of this...

insightful and really cool talk about diet and nutrition with our friend and founder of Wayless MD and Wellness, Sherry Stoka, who joins us over the stream.

Sherry, all right, let's get into GLPs.

We were talking a little bit about them at the break.

You described it.

You said we could talk about this GLP industry takeover.

That's how you described it.

Are they safe?

And what did you mean by that?

Did you mean that in a positive way or a negative way?

In negative way, everyone is adjusting their business around the GLPs.

You have GLP supplements that signal GLPs.

You have food that hits the GLP receptors.

Everything is catered now around the key words.

And it's not just weight loss anymore.

They've been approved for...

you know, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease.

Now they're looking into GLPs for addiction.

So they're, I mean, it's a complete takeover.

Is, okay, forgive the cynicism of this question and please as an expert tell me that I'm wrong.

And you mentioned the new FDA.

are these things being approved so people can just lose weight and say like god that could totally help with this the GLPs can help with that like it can help with brain fog or do they have legitimate uh applications to those ailments and problems or is it just the you know you know like I'll I'll say you have this wink wink so I can get you a GLP

yeah it's a great question because um what what we ignore from a healthcare

American national perspective is root cause disease.

Every disease, I mean, not every, right?

There's genetic and there's like some one-offs and nuances, but every single, most, and again, I said every, but it's not every, starts with metabolic dysfunction, which is, which basically is like insulin resistance.

So like Alzheimer's,

insulin resistance, kidney disease, insulin resistance, diabetes, insulin resistance, high blood pressure.

Like everything comes from the root cause.

That is the root cause.

So of course it's going to help everything because it does address the root cause.

I mean, it improves insulin sensitivity.

Over 90% of people are insulin resistant.

So you're addressing the root cause and then

That's where it gets a little sketchy because it's like, okay, what are you doing with that information in that medication?

Previously on one of your appearances here, Sherry, I asked you how you go low carb and still get enough fiber in your diet.

And when we spoke or swapped emails earlier, you mentioned managing proteins while on GLPs.

Is that a challenge for people on GLPs to get enough protein or do they get too much?

I know I know I wanted to say I wanted to bring that up too because I think it's so funny again It's just funny because you know like it's all around the GLPs now everyone is awakened to the fact that like we need to eat protein because The because the madness out there is that GLPs cause muscle mass.

I mean you've heard it.

I'm sure you've heard it GLPs cause muscle mass you look at the studies

40% muscle loss versus fat.

So now people are like, oh my gosh, since the majority of the population are on it, they're like, I need to eat more protein.

When the fact of the matter is that, are we protein deficient?

I think the balance is just off.

I think we eat enough protein.

I just think we eat too many carbs as it relates to protein.

When it comes to the GLPs, GLPs innately absolutely do not cause muscle loss.

That is not what they are there to do.

There is not one study shows that GLP peptides cause muscle loss.

It is what people do when they go on a GLP.

They stop eating.

They eat crap.

They still eat a, you know, they go to McDonald's and have 400 calories a day and they're not getting any nutrition, but they're losing weight because they're losing muscle mass because they're not, they're not.

Doing all the other stuff.

So that's where that's where again, it's like it's it's this massive Conundrum of like information going out there that is just confusing people

Well, I think too, I mean and again, please anything.

I'm saying correct me if I'm wrong.

I've done my I've done my research good.

I hated saying that out loud, but you know, I feel like and

Correct me if I'm wrong people just see these as the the the silver bullet the magic pill They see like well if I just start whether it's taking a pill or taking a shot I'm gonna start losing weight, and it's gonna be great.

I don't have to do anything else done

Yes, that is our mentality in the United

States of America.

Yes, how many people Sherry walk into your building like a new client and just say I want to GLP or I want Osempic because they Yeah

because they think that's going to fix, again, air quotes, fix them.

When we can talk about the root cause as far as disease, I personally feel like when it comes to this topic, the root cause is looking at what are your habits throughout the day as far as eating goes?

What are you eating?

How are you eating?

And something you said, Pete, earlier in the previous segment, I personally don't agree with that.

I don't think if you have a sense of mind to want to change your, at least your diet,

and you want to lose some weight, and that's great.

You shouldn't have to restrict yourself from any food.

It's always about your portions.

It's always about, like, I can have pizza tonight.

I'll have two pieces of pizza, but I won't eat an entire pizza driving home.

That's

no fun.

I mean, and that's something I used to do.

I would eat an entire pizza from Milwaukee to Kenosha in my car, and oh, guess what?

I gained weight.

But I learned that I can eat pizza.

But I just can't eat as much as I want.

I mean, of course, if you have, if there's an allergy or something, there's certain things you probably need to say goodbye to.

But again, that thing of like, people want to restrict themselves from certain foods when it's more about like, hey, man, have ice cream once a week, have a scoop or two, and then be good.

You don't have to eat the whole thing.

Yeah, no, I mean, 100%.

I mean, what I would tell you is the majority of people

don't want my nutrition help.

I mean, unfortunately, they don't like, and I have conversations because I have like health coaches, I have nutrition, like, that's what we want to help with.

And

we're not going to waste our time if people aren't you like, you have to be ready for that.

So the majority are 100% looking at it as this is going to help me lose weight.

And I'm going to I'm going to maybe make some changes, but I'm going to continue the majority of what I've been doing.

Yeah.

Wow.

Go ahead, Sherry.

Sorry.

No, no, no.

Go ahead.

I was just going to reintroduce you, you're our nutritionist and dietitian expert, and you are the founder of Wayless MD, which leads me to a question that might contradict a little bit what Greg said.

I agree it's about portions to some extent, but to me, I feel best when I do low carb.

I don't feel inflamed.

My whole goal now is to not have inflammation in my body.

And for me, it's carbs that do that.

that normal?

And if you do, like Greg said, if you do eat small portions, will you still experience inflammation even if you're eating carbs or bed carbs?

Should I say the pizza or pasta?

You have to meet

people where they're at, you know?

You have to meet people where they're at.

So like, if Greg's...

you know, like you said, if he's eating, you know, three, I don't remember exactly what you said, but it's just an example.

If you're eating three pizzas a day and you go down to one, that's a huge change.

You know, so you have to meet people where they're at.

And, and my goal is to get people on low car because one day we're all going to realize that we don't need them.

You

know, I

mean, it's just, you know, and, and it's actually the most easiest fix.

to fix all these diseases.

But we're so far removed because of because of the food, the poison, the poison that is out there, that you have to like you have to like tip toe into it with people because they're addicted to food.

This isn't even about it's not even about Oh, okay.

Yeah, let's just eat real food.

There's that's nowhere to be found.

And then yet they put these chemicals in the food to make you addicted.

So we have to wean people off of the crack cocaine.

Like it's it's a mess.

And I think also the thing too is that when you come to and my first thought is, you know, Michelle Obama, when she just said, hey, kids, try a vegetable.

And you say to anyone, hey, maybe take down your carbs, maybe less sugar, maybe less, maybe less red meat, something that will like coming from an expert or just someone of concern with just a small piece of advice.

Especially in America, they can go off the rails and say, well, you know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna eat a cow while it's still alive, while I'm making, they take it as such a challenge to their individualism or their patriotism or just everything about them when I'm just trying to say, hey, eat less bread.

I'm not saying don't eat bread at all.

I'm just saying maybe don't eat a sandwich at every single meal.

Just like take it down low.

And as you said, meet yourself with set small goals.

I feel like the other thing too is

We live in the society that we can see someone on television lose 200 pounds in a few weeks on a program that would cost any one of us.

Tens of thousands of dollars to do, plus not mention, in fact, losing that much weight that quickly, I think is very unhealthy.

But people do not want to, they want to set these really extreme goals.

And when they don't meet them, they feel like failures.

And then they go back and that's the problem.

You can't save them.

Hey, man, just take, make a small goal this week.

Go for one walk this week.

That's very true, because I don't have a lot of them, but I have a handful of people that I'm starting to worry about their weight, because now they're underweight.

It is all about managing and talking through these things, but I can't now, someone came in the other day and I was like, whoa.

I mean, do you like, should we start weaning you off?

Absolutely not.

We're not, no, we're not weaning off of it.

So now you get the extreme.

Yeah.

Sherry, before we let you go, tell us a little bit about like, if somebody comes into Wayless MD and wellness, how do you get them like, you know, you're very attentive to your patients, but how do you get them to keep the weight off?

What is your number one goal if you're not using a GLP or if you are using a

GLP?

No matter what, I mean, most people have to go through some type of program to get to a healthier state.

You know, I think metabolic health, I know that means like who knows what to anyone, but we assess metabolic health.

And if you start a program and lose 50 pounds and you're still incredibly metabolically unhealthy, you're not going to keep the weight off.

So we're recommending programs that we feel

People need to get them into that healthier state in order you you build that resilience You know like like I don't like I'm metabolically healthy.

I don't when I go on vacation and overeat I don't gain weight because I'm metabolically healthy So we we that's what we our goal is.

Yeah, that's great

If I could ask you one more question, I'm kind of doing this low carb thing at the moment.

What about quest bars?

We've got about a minute left.

Are those, I know they're, oh no, okay, never mind.

You just answer.

You mean,

you mean, you mean a fancy Snickers bar, Pete?

A chemically induced treat.

Okay.

Oh, we got a wrap.

We have about 30 seconds.

Okay.

I'm just saying xylitol.

I don't know how you are not crawled over and dying in pain from all the xylitol that is in those products.

Wouldn't

that be a rock?

stomach aches when you eat those.

Well, you know, I'm so darn muscular.

It's tough for those chemical.

No, I don't know.

But I'm not

gonna

eat

him anymore.

Thanks to you.

Sherry, as always, thank you so much.

I am here to help you reach out to me.

I honestly, I'm here to help you.

You're awesome.

And thank you as always for your insights.

Thank you.

Yeah, we'll do it again soon.

I hope.
