  • SAME EXACT ICKS

    I’ve actually never listened to Berner Phone with Hannah!! I’m a “Silver Giggler” and love Hannah & Paige, but I’m VERY FOND of this Pod with Des & guests!! Perhaps it’s generational, although I’m WAY OLDER than Des, but the “ICK” description of “match book style matches is SPOT ON!!! Grew up in a 3 pack a day, Pall Mall Res household and could never even stand to TOUCH a pack of cigs! Gross!! My Mom kept them in the fridge crisper with her private stash of peanut clusters.

    Touch those clusters ... more

    This has gotten really tone deaf over time. Social queues.. let people speak and share their stories. All roads lead back to Des’ personal, which I appreciate, but it’s so constant.

    Great comedic rants from Des. Love when Katie Boyle co-hosted. Please make her permanent cohost. You guys have a great energy and I love her blunt honesty and her Irish accent.

The Truth About GLP-1s, Peptides, and Fibermaxxing (Bonus Episode)
Q: Are GLP-1s linked directly to bone density problems like osteoporosis?
There isn't a direct drug-induced link to osteoporosis; concerns largely arise from rapid weight loss and not maintaining muscle and bone health, so the key is to manage weight loss safely with diet and exercise.
The Truth About GLP-1s, Peptides, and Fibermaxxing (Bonus Episode)
Q: What is the dominant health belief around GLP-1s that you're seeing in patients or online communities?
Many people latch onto GLP-1s for rapid weight loss due to social media hype, but without understanding the need for ongoing lifestyle changes and medical supervision; the real nuance is balancing benefits with risks and which patients truly need them.
