I would love to be interviewed. Just starting my journey. My first appointment with Mochi is Saturday. I have NAFLD, I’m an RN. I am under the care of a NP-Hepatologist. What resonated with me is what the NP said (same as your MD) “Just diet and exercise.” Obviously if I could have done that I would have done it. I’ve been Vegan, tried every diet, work out regularly and am stuck at 170. My PCP prescribed Ozempic but I could not afford it. I found a local compound pharmacy. My PCP agreed to send RX to them but has not. It’s like I’m fighting for my life. Thank goodness I found your channel and Mochi. I can’t wait to start.

Any thoughts on what we’ll do when the shortage is over and we can’t get the compound anymore? Cost wise that would be a problem for many people.

I imagine that won't come this year nor next. I will be flying to Canada to purchase 😅

I want to say that we will still be able to get the compounded even when the shortage ends. Unless Lilly really goes after every compounding pharmacy. Tirzepatide is a peptide; Lilly didn't invent it, it occurs naturally in our body. Best case scenario is that 1. shortage is over, 2. price comes down, 3. everyone in America can afford it.

It would be cheaper to fly to Canada, right??? :)

I love this. I've been on compounded tirzepatide for about a week and I've already felt the difference. Quick question, Is your podcast available on apple podcasts or something similar? I'm trying to add it to my list of podcasts to listen to when I'm driving

We are exclusively available on KZfaq.

Can you do an episode on muscle mass. My scale tracks both skeletal muscle and muscle mass. When j researched the difference, looks like muscle mass includes cardio and smooth muscle. So should we just look at the skeletal muscle trend (up or down)?

@thedownsized Ай бұрын

On my scale, the muscle mass is tracked in pounds. The skeletal muscle is tracked as a %. So when I was looking at how much muscle I've lost, I was looking at the muscle mass reading on my app. From Medical News Today: "Muscle mass refers to the amount of soft muscle tissue in the body. Other major components of the body include fat, bone, and water. Muscles primarily help with movement, maintaining posture, and supporting bodily functions. " You definitely want to keep as much muscle as possible - muscle burns more calories than fat at rest.

@lahall4942 I don't believe in splitting pens. Get the compounded tirz if you want to save money. get $40 using code QIYGO8 joinmochi.com/

The Ro tracker seems one-sided, no one is marking if found.

@thedownsized Ай бұрын

It’s a free tool - interesting but nothing earth shattering

right - good idea, but I found my meds, I wouldn't tell anyone else about where I found them! Cause then everyone would go there and they would be sold out! - Laraine
