Jacklemay · Nov 2025

I didn’t want to delete my earlier review, and the app won’t let me do another, so… here is an update. Although there is certainly less information about GLP-1s circulating these days, Dave has done a great job of building a news network that provides timely, relevant information about all things related to the disease of obesity and treatment options. While many of us are in maintenance and not as excited these days due to life’s pressures or whatever, Dave continues to peak our interests and provide what we need and want. For those non responders and slow responders, he provides a true Beacon of hope with quality, factual information that is fully vetted. I hope my life calms back down someday, so I can get more excited as well. Until then, Dave helps keep my toes in the water. All of Dave’s endeavors are worth a listen or watch. Not only does he do his best to provide timely and accurate information, but he also understands the fluid nature of the reported information in the frontier / Wild West era of incretins / GLP-1 s. He always strives to keep us updated and to make it fun for us. I especially appreciate having additional content from Dave that is a bit shorter. Don’t get me wrong! I want content of all lengths, but where I might want a longer video while I am doing my physical therapy or mandated walking, sometimes, I want something shorter and in audio form while I wait for a doctor’s appt or make a quick trip to Walgreens! Man, does this fill the bill! Thanks Dave for all you do! Also, thanks for keeping it clean. Some of my other favs drop a few too many f-bombs for my taste, which is none.

mhessacp · Nov 2025

The Conditts · Nov 2025
