What this video covers
So, hello and welcome to the Downsize Store, Downsize Life here in New York City. From the heart of New York City, Midtown Manhattan. There’s actually a couple of theaters a few blocks from us. So, between the two of us we’ve lost 150 lbs using GLP-1s.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- People are like, well, my doctor doesn’t know anything about it or my doctor doesn’t want to talk about it.
- I’m so excited to have her here because she is one of the first doctors I saw online talking about GLP-1s.
- She’s the author of The BioZempic Revolution, which is a practical guide to GLP-1 medications, nutrition, and long-term success.
- She’s the founder of So Well, a whole-person approach to metabolic health, and she is a clinical instructor in medicine at NYU.
- And there’s some good longevity evidence for it, but where it doesn’t work is for people on GLP-1s.
- It’s good for your natural GLP-1 production and it is good for all of the side effects that come GI wise, the constipation, the diarrhea, the everything in between.
