[@EngineerDJ_Julius]

BRUH 😆🤣

[@guitarzack]

Go-gurt!!! Hahahha

[@DigitantMedia]

Really annoying intro

[@kristapedia]

Epic comment!!

[@codeintherough]

The gogurt though

[@SupercarRanch]

Sure, he's not the best at presenting his case, but zooming out, he is still right that we eat wrong, don't exercise, and then take a drug for "maintenance" as a crutch to make us feel like obesity is "not our fault".... so in that way, I support the larger scale point he is making.

[@tutorialsartandvids7136]

What do you eat for breakfast? 😊 Him: 🗣️ What do you eat for breakfast?😅 Him: 🗣️ What do you eat for breakfast? 😢 Him: 🗣️ What do you eat for breakfast?😡 Him: 🗣️ What do you eat for breakfast?😣 Him: 🗣️ What do you eat for breakfast?😤 Him: 🗣️

[@StrategicStripping]

Actually, I think it went more like What do you eat for breakfast: Him: Eggs

[@ahmedelhadi3494]

That was the point I said hmmm simple question complicated answer 😂

[@ThomasMorgan594]

[@SaviourUmo]

You just mentioned Expert Laura, Indeed, wow that woman has been an incredible mentor to me, imparting a deep understanding of the economy that I wish college had provided.

[@AndreasPoland-rm4zv]

Interesting! But I'm new here. How can I get to this person's guidelines??

[@RyanPatrick-ib2uv]

SHE IS ON TELEGRAMs

[@RyanPatrick-ib2uv]

@LauraGil526 That's it >>>>>>

[@LouisRichard-ri4mu]

She's the best honestly I'm also a beneficiary. This inflation has taught people the importance of multiples income investment

[@13hubi13]

If you smoke cannabis all the time, not just sometimes but everyday from morning to evening so that you are always high you also have no hunger or appetite. When i stopped smoking i gained over 17kg in a year and now since half a year about 9kg down again. Now im stopping again to gain some weight back. Its insane how easy it is. But sometime its hard so stop smoking again 😅

[@royalhealthdan]

if what you say is true, the term "munchies" wouldn't exist

[@alexmartin5387]

Dr.Oz type intro

[@kevindalaeli]

This is such a great episode. I’m a huge fan of TrueMed and making preventative care more accessible!

[@KingElrosTarMinyatur]

Found Calley Means alt account. This dude is a grifter.

[@ListenMySon]

Everybody wants a cheat code or a lifehack. Nobody wants discipline.

[@LookingAway359]

So true, only you, you're such a beast. Not a narcissist.

[@ButtersDClown]

I want discipline I just am still working towards it

[@ForrestSchwartzx]

Errbody wanna be a bodybuilding, but don't nobody wanna lift no heavy ath weight

[@EricLawtonForbes]

Yes 🙌🏼 🍄 I wish more people would try mushrooms 57:35

[@ChristianGardner]

This episode was so important to me, get him back on soon

[@gelo414]

I hate hate hate, the two minute intro!!! I just want to listen to the entire conversation. I do t need to know everything that was discussed. Makes me not want to hear the whole thing

[@dkaufman]

No clue how this episode relates to business.. but it sure scratches Sam and Shaans itch.. and is a great episode.. great questions guys.. also intro was 🔥

[@madvillainy6845]

With a bit of creativity, we can relate it to business. How about this, Ozempic takes advantage of the obesity epidemic, makes $Millions. Or this slimmer people tend make more $money.

[@lucaspm98]

The first 30 seconds of the podcast cover that healthcare is the largest and fastest growing industry.

[@velvetpunch]

Shop at your closest regenerative farm period.

[@ARYUSops]

What does he mean by seed oils?

[@jayliu5432]

He forgot his tin hat

[@engineeredaf1920]

M.D.’s in shambles 😂

[@chaitov]

Novo Nordisk is Norse, not Danish. And Kraft hasn’t been owned by Phillip Morris since 2007. Phillip Morris isn’t even Phillip Morris anymore. This guy is passionate but does he know all his facts? Also, you just jumped in. No intro as to who he is.

[@SCLA-CLIPS]

new intro !!!!! love it

[@jeffsteyn7174]

1. Redefine obesity. It's ridiculous what obesity is defined as. Go watch supersize me. 2. So this guys take is don't listen to the experts who want to make money off of you. Listen to me a non-expert who wants to make money off of you.

[@homelessmillionaire1]

What's your definition of an expert?

[@jondonron]

show me the incentive and i show you the outcome Charlie Munger

[@eugeniocg3079]

YOOO

[@SusheeNzeutem]

pretty annoying that he doesnt answer Shaan's questions... "what do you eat?" => "my mom got cancer" etc...

[@ahmedelhadi3494]

I lost this guy when he could not answer a simple question Sam asked ( what do you eat daily and what was your breakfast) I knew he is not

[@chasingstoke]

I hate the new intro

[@KyChristensen]

I don't think "they" ever feel conflicted

[@_JerryDavis888]

Guys, the intro was a bit too long. FYI

[@dayaf0]

This guy knows nothing about medicine.

[@timrumler24]

Shaan and Sam, after this episode, you better watch out for the Hillary dark sedan pulling up next to you !! GREAT STUFF - FREAKIN LOVED THIS !!!!!! TRUMP24🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@AlastairSmith]

You just listened to a whole podcast about how capitalist incentives are causing these issues and you are voting for the guy who wants to deregulate the EPA etc and allow corporations even more freedom to put profit before American's health and wellbeing?

[@NA18NA]

Really hating the new intro format

[@chasingstoke]

Seriously. Unlistenable

[@jb_kc__]

the fact that shaan labelled obvious facts about poor diet and lifestlye as hot takes shows how deep the problem is in the US 😭

[@grantgrantgrantgrant]

Man this guy really likes his sister.

[@Eugene_Liu304]

This guy rambles too much without getting to the point. I disklike it

[@rileywitt1911]

he never actually gave us a reason why the drug is bad

[@royalhealthdan]

@@rileywitt1911 1. we don't know the long term effects, 2. the side effects could be a problem (sickness, tiredness, numbing of emotion & will to live)

[@ShaunLetang]

Agreed with Shaan, this is an important episode.

[@JacksonWallop]

the emotional hijacking intro is below you guys. great episode, skip the intro

[@13hubi13]

How can you guys be so smart in one way but so helpless and lost with stuff it takes 1 minute too google 😂 who with an iq over 20 would pay 5k for a mdma session 😅 sry but thats the most insane thing i have ever heard in my life

[@adamk8724]

What you are trying to achieve with intro in this style? Don't get it.

[@Stierenkloot]

It’s a hook. Pretty straight forward

[@adamk8724]

​@@StierenklootI do get it *ment to be a hook*, but it's sooo bad I can't comprehend it. It does not align with anything I know about this channel and I've been listening to it for over a year.

[@Stierenkloot]

@@adamk8724 I agree it feels cheap and manipulative. Mainstream.

[@LDH1333]

One of my favorite episodes you've done

[@RatanSur]

Ah this is the guy you said is hazardously convincing. Shaan, what did you find out during your scheduled "look into the opposing view" time?

[@BuddyRathmell]

Great pod. I never really listen to anything about health but great reminders to eat healthier. Hate that the system is rigged against people.

[@bartz4439]

Thanks for wasting my time with preview

[@ava.l]

Terrible intro. Way too long and annoying. Still love you guys though.

[@hippocratech]

7 minutes into the episode and you can already find false statements, and half-truths. On top of that, the guy is so self-confident, he can do harm to people that do not verify what comes out of his mouth. I don't usually comment on your episodes, but this is such an interesting topic (!) it should be done the right way. Like c'mon, did you pick this guy, or is it about him promoting the just-released book?

[@disruptancepodcast]

He’s a grifter pretending to be holier than an ecosystem built on grifting. Calley’s site grifts tax-exempt $$ for unproven fat burners, “brain boost”, ab-belts, saffron, etc. It’s two parties playing the same deceptive game with taxpayers.

[@alex.kostenko]

If i had seen this thumbnail before listen to the episode on a pod app there would be no chance i gather required dopamine to overcome cringe level. After listening episode i understood that from now on i will be checking youtube thumbnail first.

[@jacobwb]

Excited about the episode. Bummed out by the anxiety-cortisol-cocktail of an intro. Not your tone of voice at all. Please don’t go the DOAC route, which is just a step away from the buzzfeed route which is just a step away from irrelevancy.

[@mikeh623]

This, 100%. EVERY DOAC thumbnail and title has turned into some form of "the sky is falling"...

[@thortonpaul3]

Illuminati are definitely coming for you guys after this 🤣. Great content

[@Goodsgameshop]

Love the podcast guys been listening for years. I think you should make the intro a little shorter thought

[@mjf5049]

Longest intro ever

[@zachcarrizales5038]

Oh man you guys should read “Metabolical” by Robert H Lustig.

[@Lone.Wolf.13]

Its almost that a man has to be apologetic for telling the truth. Crazy times we live in!

[@velvetpunch]

All the articial colorings/additives that are carcinogenic are banned in Europe, here they're in everything! Aperol in Europe does not have Red 40 like the US does

[@fahdjuh34]

This is the like button for saying the intro is too long ----->

[@newmoneynate]

This guy gives very weird vibes - and within the first 10 minutes said several things that were just flat out false or misleading - Phillip Morris for example sold off Kraft years ago. I don’t comment much but since you guys say you read them - please bring actual experts to talk about things that are outside the realm of what we usually listen to - this guy isn’t it.

[@grantmgardner]

A lot of anecdotal evidence from his sister and unsubstantiated claims. It was hard to take them seriously after they said Johns Hopkins University was named after John D. Rockefeller, Sr. (14:18). It's named after Johns Hopkins...

[@marknum545]

you should be more critical to a guest, who says a lot of half-truth or blatently wrong statements. E.g. „the problem is we listen to experts“ „wild animals don‘t have chronic diseases“

[@MattByron]

If every American planted 5 fruit and nut trees in their yard, it would provide a low maintenance and economical solution to America's food problem. Every street in America could be lined with fruit and nut trees.

[@andyatmosphere]

How is Ozempic legal but not BPC-157

[@velvetpunch]

Ding ding ding seed and vegetable oils are slowly killing us

[@sutoverse]

12:25 - @DrPal also highlights in his content about how there is no literature taught to med students on Nutrition. Therefore, majority doctors don't consider it before recommending any regime.

[@CryptoGrit]

you need to change waist size for powerlifters xD

[@yechuah]

Seed oils zzzz

[@fractalarbitrage]

Looks like they found a hungry young college video editor that's got that DAWG in them

[@TeeTV22]

Lmao facts..

[@Successexperiments]

So if all the drugs were legalized you would take them?

[@PhilippDurrer]

But what does Calley Mean(s)?

[@troydenson8694]

Loving your book Dr Means. ❤

[@TheeFatPanda]

Fact Check: Kraft is NOT owned by Phillip Morris. Altria group divested Kraft in 2007.

[@RobinVanPeer]

You guys are doing great stuff

[@aaronbatte]

This one needed to be fact checked.

[@fascinatingtome]

Watching on 1.5x as usual, the intro is like being a 5 year old on coke (either version)

[@CrestedWarbler]

I cant watch this guy, he just rants and doesnt answer any of the questions

[@colinwd]

He failed to answer "what do you eat for breakfast" 5 times in a row 😂 Literally the question most people answer to test the microphone before recording.

[@rileywitt1911]

For real, he never actually talked about how the drug was bad

[@anierenimmay]

The whole episode is about how Americans are so sick from food and sedentary lifestyle that they become dependant FOR LIFE, on an expensive drug. An expensive cop out, with unknown side effects (besides Ozempic face)

[@thedarkknight6159]

That's what somebody working for the pharma industry would say 😏

[@mooktakim]

Intro way too long lol

[@sutats]

His hardline conviction is commendable.

[@antoniocollins]

[@darcymason319]

top 3 worst mfm of all time

[@MichaelThorne-00]

Fantastic conversation on such an important topic. Vote RFK Jr to fix this problem!

[@jordanvance1731]

Greg Glassman has been on this steeze for years. You should have him on to talk about selling one of the largest fitness brands on the planet, and how starting the Broken Science Initiative is helping someone like Calley's cause.

[@amyboehnert]

Loved this episode!! Thanks so much for going outside of your normal content to cover this!

[@har.19]

This is why I like this pod.. all in podcast sounds like the view just with billionaires 😂

[@13hubi13]

Cannabis medicine was also very popular before the Prohibition.

[@hope4allisbest553]

This guy is advocating shrooms…A much healthier alternative is to find friends that will tell u the truth, encourage you to work through hard things and who will be there for u during hard times. Also, prayer on a regular basis can also help. Don’t recommend a substance that will change your brain chemistry forever, recommend a lifestyle change.

[@StrategicStripping]

Have you ever tried it?

[@Aaron0317]

Based on the intro this is going to be a high RPM (revelations per minute) episode

[@EngineerDJ_Julius]

that's easy just imagine the long list of side effects

[@tigreytigrey8537]

**slowly puts ozempic in mouth**

[@therealevafernandez]

Loved this episode! 👍🏼

[@PsychedelicPlatypus64]

Went from eating keto style to carnivore style.

[@lachland]

I need a nap after that intro

[@madvillainy6845]

MFM cranks out new podcasts like clockwork.

[@hrguille]

We need better health analytics

[@JohnMcclaned]

the amount of truth bombs dropped in the first 30 mins was wild

[@engineeredaf1920]

Bro they’re not truth bombs. It’s a guy with great delivery sprinkling all the anti-med, anti-pharma talking points. If you’re overweight in America and you see a GP, the first thing they’re going to do is talk to you about diet and exercise. A family medicine resident(at Stanford, ironically) even set up an appointment for me with a nutritionist. The “system” may seem like it’s against diet and exercise and holistic health, but individual practitioners aren’t. The problem is patients wont diet and don’t exercise. So do you let these people rot until they end up in the ER? Or do you medicate them and improve their quality of life?

[@MayorSom]

Finally something mentally stimulating

[@jesusgaray]

Shaan clean your Mike bud..

[@kelvinjara7867]

the intro is so dramatic 😂

[@BasketballBusinessAndBossMoves]

Ain’t feeling this episode…not why I listen to Sam and Shaan. Ironically, I listen to this stuff on the Quest Bar guys channel and Rogan, don’t like hearing this here. Not sure why. Not as bad as the All In Podcast going full MAGA though!!!

[@trilldao]

editor snapped with the intro

[@aaithubarla]

Hey, I am so quick :)

[@disruptancepodcast]

We should ignore that Calley has a biz that grifts tax-free dollars to sell untested supplements- he’s def unbiased 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@JacksonWallop]

yeeeahh im gonna say this isn’t the take down you think it is lol. “Oh nooo, vitamin D supplement! I guess that invalidates his inditement of ozempic and the health care system at large” 😂

[@blablablabla542]

nice
