0:00.0	What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the Mind Over Macros Podcast as always. I'm your
0:09.2	host Mike Milner and today this is the episode that you've been waiting for. I am about to give you all of my opinion about the news that broke a couple of weeks ago that Weight Watchers has now entered the
0:28.2	weight loss prescription medication industry. They purchased a company called Sequence, which allows them to now distribute
0:37.0	popular weight loss medications like Ozempick and Wegovi. And I'm going to tell you my opinion without holding back and I'm hoping that this will come
0:48.0	across as not just a biased opinion. Yes, I am biased. Yes, I believe that this is dangerous at best and I think it is a pure profit grab for wait for wait watchers and I think that they will be successful in making a ton of money with this acquisition and I happen to know I wasn't familiar at the time, but I just, somebody messaged me on Instagram and let me know that the owner of, I guess the previous owner of sequence was Dr Spencer Nodalski, somebody that I'm very familiar with.
1:23.5	I actually went to a conference where he was one of the speakers.
1:26.5	I think it was in 2013.
1:29.1	It was a long time ago.
1:30.2	I was a relatively new coach trying to absorb and learn. I started following him and I always
1:36.1	thought that he had pretty useful information and right now he is making out big time and laughing his way to the bank, but I have to say that I think
1:46.9	it is incredibly dangerous that we are making this more mainstream than it already is.
1:53.6	And I'm gonna explain it in a way
1:55.1	that I'm hoping comes across with evidence to support my opinion.
2:00.0	I don't wanna just sit here and say that my opinion is right and there's no other side to the story.
2:06.7	What I want to do is highlight where I am getting my opinion from so that it's at least we can all make these decisions for ourselves
2:18.8	coming from a place of awareness and
2:25.0	that's where I think we're heading with this.
2:28.0	And that's where I think we're heading with this.
2:31.0	So anyway, before I do that, that of course we have to give away some
2:35.2	free supplements because every week if you leave a five star rating and review on the show you're
2:40.7	eligible to win and this this week, we actually had,
2:44.6	I think this was our record week for reviews.
