Welcome back to another episode of the talk. We are back with Dr. Judd Brewer and Professor

Judd Brewer. So many titles. Where to start? Well congratulations on becoming a

full professor. I know the challenge and you've overcome it.

So congratulations. We'll see how rewarding it is. So when we were off Mike earlier, you said that you were really happy to get any hardball questions.

You didn't want to get all softballs.

So I had a question in mind that I was saving for you and I'm really excited to ask you.

So I don't know if you've been asked this before but my question is about the new weight loss medications.

So a lot of people when they describe their experience on these weight loss medications they kind of describe this food noise in the back of their minds all the time,

like the cravings that are telling them to eat all the time as basically disappearing when they take these

medications or being turned way down. We're talking about the G. L.P. 1.

Yes. Yeah. And so my question to you is, does that, does the existence of these drugs kind of make the

mindfulness unnecessary if people just take these drugs and they don't even have to focus on being mindful,

or do you think there's something more to be gained from being mindful and not being on these

weight loss medications or maybe doing both?

Yeah, I love this. Stumped the professor, right?

That's a great question.

So I will, you know, I can do the drug rep answer which would be oh you don't you don't need bindfulness you just

need to take my drug for the rest of your life and I will make a gazillion you You know, it's not the, what was the Mike Meyer's character on the movie where he's like,

$1 billion in, yeah, it's like, this be one gazillion dollars and will bankrupt our entire

health care system with a single drug class because so many people struggle with overeating.

So, you know, the drug companies might want us to think,

oh, you know, these are perfectly safe,
