Tums

I did some treadmill there, you can see.

Got some Tums.

We had to rock the Tums.

That was very important.

And...

And we've been stuck with it ever since.

And it's funny because I went to use some Tums the other day for the heartburn, and, and it has the caduceus on the Tums bottle.

And I'm like, "Well, that, that's not the right one." But that's-- it is now part of our mythology and what we use to define our medicine, even though it was supposed to be Asclepius, and instead it's Hermes.

All right.

Just take some Pepto-Bismol.

Hello, take a Tums.

All right? Now, why am I so strong on this? Okay, don't get mad at me.

Don't check out, because listen, if you need to, it- y- you're gonna have your little toddy for the body or whatever.

Yeah

... is to try to tamp it down, to take Tums, to take PPIs, to take things that lower it.

Lowering it is like a Band-Aid.

It's like it, the, if the acid's gonna escape, there may as well be less of it.

So PPIs, their main goal is to reduce st- acid in the stomach.

There's two ways to reduce acid in the stomach.

One is not PPIs, but it's things like Tums that actually simply, uh, neutralize the acid that is being produced.

Mm-hmm.

And then he loses command and he walks Mydrow to load 'em up for Colson Montgomery.

Who's the guy that made the error? So this is like the revenge moment for Colson Montgomery, right? Grab the Tylenol, grab the Tums.

No way this doesn't end in catastrophe.

But Soriano gets him out in front on a slider, flies out to shallow center field to end it.

I don't know, they glide, don't they?

Well, just tell him you're proud of him, Tums.

And don't put it publicly.

It's so tedious.

And, you know, we are not surprised that these patients are feeling better with the GLP-1 receptor agonist getting benefits in the other realm.

So they might pop in Tums here and there, or they might start taking Prilosec Nexium over the counter.

So again, just giving them this discussion that, hey, don't take these medications anywhere close to your thyroid hormone, because then that messes up with your thyroid, and then you feel like, I'm stuck, I'm not losing weight on GLP-1 receptor agonist.

So two most important discussions that you should have with your clinician.
