For Dr. Torrance, how do you see lifestyle medicine fitting alongside these medications? And do these medications reduce motivation for lifestyle change, or do they create an opportunity for better habits?

So in my residency, I actually had the luxury, I just like to stand up so we can get a little bit, I get antsy.

So GLP-1s, are a fantastic impetus to start with lifestyle medication or modification.
20:31
I'm sorry to state that.
20:33
GLP-1s are like fen-phen and phentermine back in the 1990s.
20:38
They are supposed to be the impulse or the stimulus to help people Institute lifestyle change, in my opinion, and I think that's the opinion of all of the clinicians out there.
20:50
They should not be something that you lean on and it's a crutch.
