“but in any case, you know, it needed to be done and so... And so they were injected with GLP-1 and they tracked them for 14 months. So what happened? So the study... The group... The group that basically was given the placebo lost about 3% of weight.”
“Their self-reported activity profile increased by about half of the placebo group. So the idea was that the GLP-1 was almost twice as effective at weight loss and knee score pain and activity profile. So that problem was a lot better. Now, the problem with that is”
“Now, the problem with that is that, you know, we don't know the long-term effects of some of these peptides like GLP-1s 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. So that study really is a great way of structuring.”
“of sports medicine doctors because in my view, five years from now, sports medicine doctors are gonna be prescribing GLP-1s 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.”
“oh man, I look like a mess when I get over here. What I love is you're practicing what you preach. Absolutely. But during my house tour, we're sitting in the hyperbaric chamber and you said something that really sparked my interest. You said that I've been writing people prescriptions for the medicine of exercise for years.”
“Yeah. The exact opposite of what we should be doing to our doctors. I used to bring a jump rope to the on-call and jump rope in the stairwell. People thought I was nuts, which maybe I was. But I really was recognized early on. In fact, even in med school, I recognized that my brain absorbed knowledge much better after I was working out throughout med school to study.”
“Like, I wore one of those rings for a couple of weeks. It's like, you gotta sleep more. I'm like, yeah, dude, tell me something I don't know.”

“And then when you look at some of the work done in Blue Zones, people are not necessarily wealthy, but they live to 90 years plus routinely.”
“And so there was an interesting study done in Germany where they took two groups of people over. It was only an eight-week study, but I use it in a lot of my talks looking at exercise compliance.”
“There was a really interesting study that came out of the European Heart Journal about a month ago looking at what's called VPA or vigorous physical activity”
“There was just a 10-year study published looking at the outcomes of those and they did less well than the people treated non-surgically”
“I have a great example of a recent study that was published actually last year in the New England Journal of Medicine. It was one of the 10 best studies in our society last year”
