And Julie, you brought this one because you've been thinking a lot about GLP-1s.
And I don't know for a fact, I don't know of any endurance athletes using them, but I've certainly heard about it.
They spoke about or they had mentioned Remco losing, gosh, I don't know, four kilos or something like that.
And I was thinking to myself, my gosh, how in the world does someone like Remco, who's already so lean, lose additional weight? Lose four
And then since have heard of more, I've heard of it being more of a topic with endurance athletes.
So I went to an AI and said, find me any research on GLP-1s and endurance athletes.
And it just seems that people are taking a big leap with these in terms of just going right to like weight loss.
But then how is that happening? What are the repercussions of that? And how does that mix with an endurance athlete?
So what we're unfortunately going to have to do here, but, you know, without the research, this is the way.
We're going to talk about research that does exist on GLP-1s, what they know about the side effects.
And then we will take our best guess at extrapolating what that could mean for endurance athletes.
But the hope is they start doing that research and we see how it actually plays out.
