Episode notes

The capitalistic system where people are like, you know what, so many people die of cancer and or these are the top three reasons people die. The free for all of market based capitalism is going to cure obesity, right? There's enough people who want to lose weight that 800 bucks a month for wagovi or ozempic, people are happy to pay 10,000 a year for it out of their pocket to not be fat. So fascinating that system versus a top down system where maybe Europe is doing that brain project. I think luckily for us, we've got a diversity and a really pluralistic set of people attacking this problem.
