I would listen to what his guests on this particular podcast have to say before jumping into conclusions just because the interviewer is Joe Rogan.

I have no particular opinion on him - I’m just interested in what the interviewees in this specific episode have to say about metabolic health which has direct implications on the massive usage of drugs like ozempic.

I'll start with stating that Joe Rogan has, as the years have gone on, resulted to more and more fringe guests on basically every subject.

Then I'll point out that these guests are MDs, not PhDs.

And then I'll point out this bit from the description:

> Dr. Casey Means is the Co-Founder of Levels Health, which provides insights into metabolic health through real-time data. Calley Means is the Co-Founder of Truemed, which enables HSA spending on healthy food, supplements and exercise. They are the co-authors of "Good Energy."

Their livelihood is based on selling people apps, services, hardware, supplements, etc. around a certain lifestyle. They've got direct financial incentive to be against GLP1 medications.

For any specific claims, well, if you're going to use a video for reference, present the specific claims, timestamps, etc. You can't expect random people on the internet to watch a two and a half hour video off of nothing more than "you'll understand at a deep level the problem with glp1 drugs!"
