Frankly, the idea of a once-yearly GLP-1 TERRIFIES me. 😱 🙀 “So Bob, how are those really terrible side-effects going?” “Doc says I should start feeling better by next spring.” 🤦🏼♂️
Did you catch Trumps press conference today where he specifically addressed the cost of medications and that the PBMs are a problem. Also met with head of Pfizer and Eli Lilly over the weekend and had discussions about why we pay more for drugs than other countries. I’m hopeful Elon will be a good influence too.
@@ARCServicesLLCI appreciate your optimism. I did not vote for Trump, but I hope for the sake of everyone taking this medication, he moves the needle (pun intended) in our favor. 🙏
Christopher! I laughed so much at your Twinkie comment. In my early 20s I worked at a Twinkie factory…. It’s ALL corn syrup… the cake the filling ! They were all powders into which we mixed giant barrels of corn syrup… oh boy I was young and not obese yet.. and poor. I ate so much of that crap for free there.
I believe that Vital Pursuit is actually Life Cuisine repackaged. It does beg the question re.: processed foods and the role they play in our overall health equation. I am a big fan of these quick meals, however, the amount of sodium and chemicals they contain surely play a part in inflammatory processes and the weight issue in the U.S. vs. abroad. Just my observations…as a frozen food junkie 😬
I know salt has been the demon for the last 30 years bit the thinking has shifted and now the rage is expensive electrolytes - which is most often salty kool aid with small amounts of other minerals
Honestly I think one is fine every once in awhile. I don’t eat perfectly all the time. Having one of these frozen meals is better than fast food or a candy bar.
@ better than a candy bar yes. As in 1 spoon of rat poison is better than two. But in no way are they healthy. That’s not even delving into the ingredient panel. True, no eats perfect nor should they. That is set up for failure. But these things should be acknowledged as a “cheat” meal, to satisfy a junk food craving. Rarely. Not as any sort of actual meal to seek out.
Mochi sent me an email about making a med request today. I just got a delivery last week. I think they are trying to get rid of inventory by the 19th before they are shut down. I hope not, but if they are allowed to stay in business any longer the price may go back up. I’m tempted to order but man it’s Christmas and I’m getting low on funds 🙁 I have a couple days to think about it.
LD : no, that is an automatic message after your membership fee processes (I think). That has happened to me before. I don’t think Mochi is too worried.

CD: they believe they can dramatically increase the tolerability - it will be interesting to see how it evolves and changes
@@cloakster not for the very few that are having terrible side effects. But for someone on maintenance with no side effects…perfect

Nope - but I will go back and watch it
You really think Elon care about y'all 😂😂😂😂
@@Lowcarbkimmynope not even a little bit
@@LowcarbkimmyI think so, I’m willing to be positive and have faith that things will go our way.

Great advice, Kennedy!! And Arthritis patients should try to stay away from getting old. 🙄🙄🙄
😅
He should have stayed away from brain worms…and eating gravel.
💜I appreciate all these news updates along with other content! 😊
Glad you like them!
Please remember that the Eli vials are a less expensive brand name option for those of us on Medicare.
Yes we know - we pay out of pocket for our meds as well
Love the quick bite news updates. Sometimes I don’t have time for lots of articles and long videos to stay on top of news.
Thanks!!!!

Lean Cuisines are my favorite. I wish all of these had less salt in them. That’s my only negative on frozen meals but I love the convenience of them.

Thank you for a great video. ❤️
I am on my second week on this treatment.Looking forward to the results.
Best of luck!
Thank you for the great suggestions 🎉
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the informative video.❤
You are so welcome!
That is quite possibly the first thing Elon Musk has said with which I wholeheartedly agree!!
Do you know if healthy choice makes vegetarian meals?
According to their website they do.
Healthy choice has over 20% of daily sodium. Over 40%…40%!! of daily sugar. Big nope.
was going to respond with the same. Have used Healthy Choice in the past but the sodium and sugar content showed me they were not very healthy!

@@thedownsizedI agree!

They are not sitting around with extra inventory piled to the ceiling
@@thedownsizedI would hope not. But they sure are trying to sell as much as they can. Makes me worry. I love that company.

Considering that there is a shortage in many places even if it gets cheaper it will be even more unavailable. Just my opinion.
That’s why they are spending billions to build new factories. My guess would be they will never catch up with demand
It took you guys 15 minutes to get to the point (around 15:18). And then you discussed it for maybe 22 seconds (up to 15:40).
It’s part of the news - thanks for watching
