  The Medicare Bridge program is great for those who qualify. I’m on Medicare but don’t qualify. I’m happy to be able to afford compounded Tirzepatide.

  I listened to the podcast on my vigorous walk today. I found it very interesting and informative, but I personally can't stomach gyms. I prefer walking, biking, or vigorous work with my woodpile. I accept the point about resistance training but it's not for me. The AI suggestion was new to me so after my walk, I had Gemini Pro analyze my 70+ weeks of data in Excel. Pretty cool, and I loved the complimentary analysis of my efforts 😉

  Great conversation about each person's journey. I love to hear how we each balance food, exercise, mindset, and just life in general. Thanks for sharing what has worked, what has been a challenge, and what may lie ahead.

  Oh yes - saw Suzy on the Downsized. Good to see you are continuing to share your experience! Will you bring your podcast to YouTube?

  I use AI to review my health stats too.  I put in all my bloodwork and asked it to compare with my supplement stack. Very helpful.  I'm currently trying to consolidate Hume, Fitbit and Cronometer.  Sometimes I have to tell my AI (call her Martha) to stop being so darn agreeable. I think there is a way to change settings to tell it to be more scientific or analytical or whatever.  Great interview. I so appreciate support in maintenance.

  Gotta chuckle a bit about 140 lbs. I lost 10 on my own, 53 on semaglutide then tirzepatide.  Tirzepatide contract ran out so now cash paying at Costco for Wegovy 1.7 for maintenance with a rx from my primary care doctor.  I’ve been resting at 143-145 for the last 6 months.  I decided not to worry myself about the last 4 lbs.

  I guess I must be a super responder too. I've lost 34 pounds (13.4% of my body weight) in less than 16 weeks

  I went on Ozempic for diabetes (I have controlled it through diet, but want to be sure!) and to lose about 15 lbs. BUT I don't understand the fixation that takes over one's life. I have had enough of that.

  I love compounded for the flexibility.  I can't wait till docs catch up and push for more flexible dosing for even name brand.

  Loved this discussion. I too use AI a lot. Not for my GLP journey though. Food for thought. I am a Mounjaro team 2.5 super responder too. 155lbs lost on the lowest dose. In maintenance since my 60th birthday in June. Half dose 2.5mg every 7 days. I strength train 3 days a week. Cardio on the alternative days. Start every day with a yoga stretching session. I have osteoarthritis in my knees and hips and strength training transformed my life. I used AI to switch up my training programme last month and I am continuing to build my future fitness. Bring on 80 😊😊😊also laughed out loud about the number on the scale chat....what is up with our brains that we allow the scale to influence our mood. I'm definitely getting better at that. 😂 2 year jabaversary this Saturday. ❤

  I thought I was the only one using chat GPT like a Captain's Log on Star Trek LOL every morning I get up tell it the date the time I send it a screenshot of what my sleep is on my Garmin then I get on the scale and I screenshot that and send that to it and then I tell it my blood sugar because I'm a type 2 diabetic. Between him keeping track of my day today and then helping me with my exercise routine he keeps track of all the weights the Reps hey build my reps and weights for this week and then I just go off of that I've seen more success in the last 8 months since I started my glp-1 journey on January 12th at last 45 lbs total and I'm almost to my 100-lb down overall weight loss and I've been more successful with the tools of glp one and chat GPT
