New Bonus Podcast Series: Scott's Weight Loss Journey (Patreon)

Hey folks,
David Chen here. For most of my life, I've been a big dude.
I've tried dieting, working out, lifting weights. But nothing has been enough to lose weight and keep it off.
A few years ago, the introduction of drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro offered a new path. These tirzepatide/semaglutides seemed like they could dramatically curtail one's hunger level, albeit with a lot of potential side effects. Nonetheless, I've been reading up on them and interested in exploring them as an option for myself.
My friend Scott is similar in height/weight to me and he recently started taking Zepbound. I decided to hop on a call with him to discuss his experience taking the drug. We discussed:
Why he's taking Zepbound
The cost of Zepbound (with insurance)
How much weight he's lost so far/the impact of Zepbound already
What side effects he's experienced
I know this is pretty different than the type of content I usually put out. One of the things I appreciate about this Patreon is the ability to explore different interest I have in a relatively safe space. My only goal is to provide the kind of frank and honest conversations that are difficult to find online.
I hope you find the episode interesting (and if you don't, feel free to let me know!). I don't anticipate this will be a huge part of the Patreon page, but I will probably check in with Scott 2-3 more times over the course of the next year. As always, your feedback and support and welcome and appreciated.
