Gastroenteritis and Mounjaro
Hello, We have heard of recent news articles about the people getting Gastroenteritis from taking Ozempic and Wegovy. Is there the same risk with Mounjaro ? If so, due to the severity of Gastroenteritis, is it worth it to avoid these drops and find other ways to lose the weight if one is obese? My BMI is 30.
Fatty15 (aka C15:0)
There is a relatively new essential fatty acid supplement called Fatty15 (aka FA15™). Their site makes some bold claims such as having 3x more cellular benefits than omega-3, and that it "targets and reverses the core of how we age." What does Peter think of these claims and the research behind this supplement?
Low-dose colchicine reducing cardiovascular risk
The FDA recently approved low-dose colchicine as a tool for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Any views on that drug and potential limitations? Could it curb beneficial processes that require some inflammation (e.g. hypertrophy)? Side note: I think it would be great to have an episode on inflammation in general. It comes up in so many topics, but I think it's hard for us lay people to grasp what exactly it is and how it impacts physiology (good and bad).
