Yes. Like here's a really good example. I currently have an addiction to Sprite which is terrible. I have not like since my diagnosis. I probably had like two regular soda pops in that entire or like sodas in that entire seven years. When I started Mounjaro I like had some belly upset and like all I wanted was Sprite and I was able to dose for it and not go into the three 50s which that's never happened to me in my life. And it, it's like something is totally different. Like I can manage this with insulin and it's not going to put me over the edge, which to me is like, mind blowing.

Do you know, I just was actually working on something this morning before you and I jumped on. And I didn't realize we'd be talking about this, but I'm pulling together a list of current trials or ideas for trials that are going on right now for GLP, beyond weight and type 2 diabetes and pre diabetes. It's also being looked at for cardiovascular disease, heart failure with preserved EF, chronic kidney disease, peripheral artery disease, general CV risk, reduction in obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, MASH NASH. I don't even know what this means. MASH NASH and NAFLD Essence Phase 3 and other programs, Alcohol associated liver disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, alcohol use disorder, knee osteoarthritis with obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, acute ischemic stroke. They are looking into it for. Let's see, what else? Anemia. Let's see. There are no anemia treatments right now. In a large cohort, inhibitors were associated with lower incidence of anemia with glps. Dermatology? Not definitive, but they're starting to talk about it as possible eczema treatment. There's strong evidence for joint pain, osteoarthritis, and there are active trials right now about long Covid recovery. Yeah, like, so it takes people like you who sit around and think, what else do I. Like, what do I not know right now? What should I be looking into? And what things are, you know, maybe sound crazy, but aren't. Aren't maybe not worth a shot. I'm not particularly ready to talk about this yet. I went to my wife two weeks ago. She was what I will call seven weeks deep into a long Covid flare. She was melting. Like, I don't know how she was alive, even. And I said, kelly, listen. I said, there's some people online, and I shudder to tell you this because I. I think first glance, these are not people who I'd listen to and go, all right, let's try it. I was like, but this thing that they're talking about, it's very low impact. It takes a month to figure out if it's going to work. Why don't you try a 7 milligram nicotine patch daily and see if it will help with your long Covid. There are people saying that it's helping with long Covid. And I said, I don't have all the details, but something about the spike proteins and how they grab onto the nicotine receptors, blah, blah, blah, like, I don't know. I'm just telling you, like, that's it. My wife looks at me. She's like, you're an idiot. Blah, blah, blah. And I was like, all right, fine. Like, whatever. Maybe a week later, I'm interviewing somebody, and she says, I have long Covid but it's getting a lot better. I said, oh, no kidding. What are you doing for it? She said, oh, I've been wearing nicotine patches.

Wow.

A
So I went back downstairs and I said to Kelly, I'm like, listen, it is not going to hurt you to wear a nicotine patch every day for 30 days. Like, it just isn't. And I ordered them and they're coming. And here, slap this on. And it's been two weeks, and you should see how much better she is.

B
Wow.

Really kind of crazy, right? And so then I dug around in it a little more, and, you know, there are peop. Again, this is. This isn't studied. This isn't. I'm not telling you. I mean, there are studies about nicotine, and you can go find them for yourself, but, like. But this isn't widely studied. There's no doctor running around telling you to try a nicotine. I'm not telling you to try it. Like, right. But there are people who say that they use it locally on joints to alleviate, like, RA symptoms and blah, blah. And I'm like, this is like. I don't know if that's true or not. I want to be completely clear. But that's what you need. You need people to say, like, here's the whole toolbox. I wonder what this would do. And not just randomly. I don't want you hitting a nail.
