The True Cost of Injectable GLP-1 Medications vs Natural Healthy Options:

Your host Scott Mulvaney and Dr. Todd Cevene discuss the benefits of natural weight loss approaches over pharmaceutical solutions. Dr. Cevene, who has helped over 75,000 people and has 74 providers in 38 states, emphasizes the importance of addressing metabolic issues and insulin resistance. He highlights the success of his program, which averages 32+ pounds and 20+ inches of weight loss in 90 days, without exercise. They also touch on the limitations of traditional healthcare, the role of personal accountability, and the potential of compounding pharmacies. Dr. Sabine advocates for a holistic approach to health, focusing on diet and lifestyle changes. Todd Cevene emphasizes that effective health strategies, such as weight loss and blood sugar management, must be consistently applied and monitored for results. He stresses the importance of setting a good example for children, as they learn more from observing actions than from words. Scott agrees, noting the influence of parents’ behaviors on their children’s habits. They both advocate for passing on positive health knowledge to future generations.

Timestamped Show Notes:

05:00 – When you see commercials for semi glutides or GLP-1’s, they’re compounded, the feds have made those against the law out there and now illegal to compound, beginning next month, so you use a name brand prescription. The reason for that is because, when you’re doing the peptides, they aren’t regulated, so you don’t know. It could be a guy in a bathtub in China with his cat, and they’re making them, and you’re pumping that into your body hoping it’s going to make a difference.

28:40 – So without sounding too sarcastic with it, so in that same vein, if you say people want to be healthy, people that we talked about asking like the GLP compound of drugs, or the GLP weight loss drugs, people healthy will also start eating healthy. If you’re taking those medications and you’re just eating one piece of pizza instead of three, that’s not help.

31:20 – The metabolic ones, insulin, blood sugars, leptin, ghrelinn, adeno, pectin, etc. So when you start to control those metabolically, you start to burn more unhealthy fat than sugar, which is what people try to control on the Keto Diet, right? The Keto Diet is not bad as long as you can sustain it. But the average person can’t sustain it, unlike you’d mentioned, you’re able to do that. The average person can’t necessarily sustain that. So the way you keep weight off forever is you find a way for that particular patient so they can have the freedom to eat what they want, “within reason”, and still lose weight. So psychologically, if you feel like you’re not dieting and you’re losing inches of fat and weight, we’re on the home stretch.

52:55 – I was looking at again for a panel of like, 20 med spas that are starting this, and they’re getting rid of GLP1’s, they’re going for a program. The average patient loses 32.8 pounds. This is within a 90 day mark, and they lose up to 20.2 inches within 60 days. The average person loses two clothing sizes, or 10% of your body weight in 60 days is a very safe bet, like bet your house with a kid in it and take it to the bank.

58:45 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

The impact of children seeing mothers inject weight loss drugs to lose weight versus making healthy choices comes to them. Our own girls have told us over and over and over again, I can’t believe how bad everybody else eats, or I went to my friend’s house and the whole family is literally sitting around consuming bags of chips, and I couldn’t believe it. There wasn’t fruit, there wasn’t anything like natural veggies with the meal. They’re just astonished that not everybody does that, who needs that. So it’s, again, it was kind of an aha moment to me that you’re impacting families, and that how far that goes with kids and everything else as well. For all the women out there that have children or men that have children, that can become more aware, this is what they see and what they learn.

Timestamped Show Notes: 

04:15 – Double ribeyes are my dinner every night, and most of the nights it’s a triple ribeye, so I eat more than any person that I sit down with. 

13:00 – I was starting from a very dirty diet, and I saw that quick weight loss as like, oh my gosh, this is the miracle diet, miracle cure. I was so impressed that I told myself, the Vegan Diet is absolutely the best diet. I’m gonna stick to this for as long as I need to…

15:10 – I had my autoimmune psoriasis condition ever since I was a child. So as long as I can remember, and for me to keep it at bay, I had to use topical prescriptions. So for me, the life changing benefit, Veganism didn’t help, but Carnivore helped me get off all prescription topical creams and literally just cure it. I never have flare ups anymore.

23:00 – People who aren’t open minded, when they look at your content, and they automatically assume things because they’re already closed minded to begin with. So they will assume the most extremes. They’re never going to watch your content and be reasonable. So the content that I post, at least, is created for the people who are already informed, already “Carnivore Curious. But somehow a lot of my posts get viral. They blow up overnight or something like that, and then I look at the comments the next day, and most of the comments are all naysayers. They just don’t understand.

29:20 –  The Steak and Butter Gang is just my private community for those who need that extra help and guidance, so I’ve set up the steak and butter gang to be an online community. You basically get to hop on almost daily zoom calls with my team of coaches, moderators, etc. The magic is in the live zoom calls, because you actually get to talk to carnivores of 3, 4, 5, 6+ years of experience. We talked about Dr. Chaffee a lot, I invite carnivore doctors like Dr. Chaffee, Dr. Baker, and others to do monthly Q and A’s.

01:17:30 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show: 

This year, I think the main theme of my life, and I did turn 28 a few months ago, so I feel like I’m still a baby. I get to hang out with so many great carnivores and just this conversation alone, I learned so much from you. I feel like this year, for the theme, it should be, spread kindness, love, and question everything. So these things I find I’ve been doing every single day, spread love and kindness above all, and at the same time question everything. Every single day, I learn something new, but that’s because I keep an open mind. Even carnivore things. There are videos where I’m like, automatically we make all these assumptions, but then I keep the open mind, and I always walk away learning something new. So I hope people who listen to your episode, they question everything, they are okay with unlearning things that they thought were facts, and they spread love and kindness. That’s what I would want to share.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30: Introduction

10:00: I grew up studying nutrition, I never heard of anything in fasting ketogenic diets. They were the things to avoid at all costs, right? So, I went to Rutgers University actually grew up in Allentown, New Jersey.

20:00: It’s really a result of many things going on, but it’s giving the brain an alternative fuel that allows the brain to function under these extreme environments. It also changes some of the neuropharmacologies of the brain in ways that we’re just understanding now.

30:00: My wife is Hungarian and she and I went over there. They’re eating brains, kidneys, and liver. I mean this is what they have every night. So it’s a little strange and it was about the same time I met my wife and actually started doing ketogenic research about the same time. So now she has gotten to incorporate a lot more organ meat into our diets. We grew up hunting, the liver was what we would give to the dogs. We would never think about eating the deer liver, we would just dress the deer when we got home and just keep the neat stuff.

40:00: Kristi Storoschuk helps on so many projects, she’s been like a godsend as our Head Writer. My student Andrew Koutnik is now Dr. Koutnik. He’s type one diabetic and also does nutritional ketosis and gave a TEDx talk on nutritional ketosis. You can look them up, fantastic TEDx talks and is a new writer who’s super educated and passionate about this.

51:00: I would tell people to check out the Metabolic Health Summit. I have a link to that on ketonutrition.org

54:00: Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I’m a scientist, I’m a data-driven person, and I do experiments in the lab. But the thing that I think is really the cornerstone of my health is really good relationships, you know, with my wife, with my friends with my family. It’s really important to prioritize relationships in addition to learning and in addition to nutrition. I think that’s the key.

I think you ave to take a step back and look at what’s important and really put that at the top, Then your passion for everything else will just come through. So I think for me, for my own health, mental health, and just health as a whole person, prioritizing those relationships is key.
