Gary Simmons just giving you a quick update just wanted to share with you as you're checking out almd some of the most frequently asked questions people obviously ask what is it how does it works well we specialize in peptides lmd is a coner tele medicine company that caters to individuals by providing greater access to medications so what are peptides peptides are not drugs peptides are amino acid structures that form protein chains in our bodies we produce them naturally and they're also developed to help carry instructions to the cells and molecules to unlock certain functions like hormonal and co-enzyme functionality uh they're classified as Pharmaceuticals simply because many of them are injectable but again uh they're protein chains amino acids which are things we produce naturally in our bodies peptides perform many biological functions the next question is uh do I have to take the needle we do have products that are not injectable we have nasal sprays for some products we have drops for our gp1 semag gluty product and if you do take the needle know that I believe the risk is worth the reward needles are very small millions of diabetics use this type of injection every single day a very tiny diabetic needle and don't don't think this is some big flu shot needle or something like that because it's not so go1 peptides particularly for weight loss how do they work well there are two different products in the glp1 class GP means glucagon likee peptides it is a hormone that we produce naturally but we don't produce much of it beyond the mid 20s and so forth just like other things we deplete in collagen and certain other hormones or co-enzymes in our bodies but the one that's most popular is a semaglutide most people will know that commercial brand name which we're not affiliated with like oamp or wovi right so we're not saying it's the same thing but the active ingredient is semaglutide and I could legally say that it works by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when necessary when the blood sugars are high uh insulin helps to move sugar into the body tissues and cells where it's used for energy and on the Market those products typically go for $800 to $1,000 we have them here at LD for $299 okay uh the second uh medication in that class is tepati the same thing as a semaglutide but instead of having the glp it also has a Gip peptide which helps to increase weight loss by managing the glucagon levels and that one targets a 26% body fat reduction whereas semaglutide targets a 16% body fat reduction on the market without insurance you'll find T eptide the commercial brand name for that guys and gals is the ZET bomb and journal products we're not affiliated or Associated and we're not saying it's the same thing we're just using the active ingredient to zeppe tide I could legally say that okay that's typically going for $1,000 to maybe $1,200 $1,300 a month we carry that for $449 so the next question most people have is well can I even afford that you absolutely can in my opinion my experience is that most people are paying for this every day anyway why because we're eating three four times a day five times a day for some people nobody needs to eat five times a day unless you're looking to gain weight or pack on muscle for a competition we've been tricked by the food industry that we need to put grains at the top of our food pyramid and start our day with cereals breads breakfast muffins sandwiches you name it guys and that's created 70% of this nation are overweight 40% of this nation is actually obese you can't necessarily blame that on the people when there's a hormonal imbalance guys and gals you need actual help so this is a short answer Q&A so I'm going to keep it moving forward okay so most people spending 20 30 40 bucks sometimes more a day on those five meals you know breakfast lunch dinner two snacks energy drink or some other drink and then a little bit of ice cream before bed at night okay watching TV guys that's normal when you're breaking the food addiction and you're down to maybe one to two meals per day you're talking about saving 20 to $25 that's my story right you're talking about $600 to $750 a month that doesn't go towards the food budget anymore that's what iuse to pay for my gp1 and I'm actually on NAD plus too it's another peptide product that we carry here so I pay for that out of the money I save for not having to shove food down my pie hole four or five times a day another popular question is I've heard there supplements and herbal products on the market that are just like the GOP one shot that's absolutely false cannot do what we do in this space because supplements are able to stimulate GOP production gop1 is a hormone that we make naturally again we don't produce much of it past age 25 so so which is why children and you know teenagers they fat burning machines and as we hit our older years for the women menopause and you know they get that estradiol kind of back down and Men kind of slow down with testosterone and different things we can't do what we did before in those younger years so yes you have supplement products that can stimulate natural GOP but it's broken down by the dpp4 enzyme in less than 2 minutes just do a little bit of Googling you don't have to be a rocket science to find out that's true those products are not backed by medical science or studies or research or documentation you cannot defeat the dpp4 enzyme with gop1 it's going to break it down what we do is formulated our gop1 formula to imitate gop1 and have a longer halflife by using proteins and amino acid chains in different positions so they can get past the gut and attach to the receptors in the brain and receptors all over our body guys to make it functionally and effective now moving on along guys your assessment is protected by Hippa so how this works you select the product of your life you go through our health assessment online you fill out your questionnaire tell them your height and your weight you do have to have a 30 or above BMI to get approved for the weight loss product if your BMI is less than 30 you can still get approved if it's at least 27 and you have comorbidity like high blood pressure diabetes you know family history of disease different things like that okay that can get you through the door but typically it's a 30 BMI or above um you're going to need to submit the date of your last exam or Labs just within the last 3 years it's is acceptable if you don't remember if you don't remember the exact date just take your best guess if it's in the last 3 years our physicians are trained for weight loss and if there's an issue with your assessment or requesting that's deeply involved they'll reach back out to you through the tele medicine portal again your information is protected by Hippa so we've talked about the BMI is it affordable we've talked about is it affordable are other products cheaper on the market yes there are many other products cheaper on the market and they're using cheaper ingredients lmd is accredited by the national ass Association of boards of pharmacies we don't play with research grade ingredients we don't play with animal testing ingredients I don't want anything like that in my body okay we deal with ingredients that are sourced from the DMF list the FDA vage DMF shortage list and we're only working with stero pharmacies that the FDA inspected because the quality of what goes in your body at this level is of the highest importance we're into the eacy and the quality of our product we're not aiming to be the cheapest even though we're aiming to be accessible some more people can have access where necessary but we're are not interested in having the cheapest gop1 on the market $299 covers the shipping covers the tax covers the assessment the prescription it covers the delivery and it also covers the followup and the medication so we're making an impact and that's what we're focused on okay we do have the payment options like I said ell pays our internal payment system it's currently 0% financing it'll probably go to 10% financing soon but it allows you to break up your weight management products your go1 weight management products into three payments so you're basically getting all three months of the product up front so you don't have to have any laps in your dosage cuz when you go from month one which is your starter dose to month two is a little bit higher and month three is your effective dose we don't want you waiting in the mail for medication so you get the full 3mon Supply up front but you're only being build one mon at a time the other quick question is how do you eat how do you work out guys and gals you want to stay away from sugars Doritos sodas you know the common sense things we know we shouldn't be eating and Target whole nutritious food Foods full of healthy fats you know proper protein uh good low index carbohydrates and electrolytes and you could join our longevity page to learn more about that there's some tips and tricks there and some suggestions and recipes that may be helpful working out is important you don't have to live in the gym just uh you know stay active have an active lifestyle walk even walk I do push-ups I do sit-ups I do pull-ups and just basic body resistance you don't have to be in the gym lifting 400 lbs so that's again that's between yourself your personal trainer your nutritionist I'm just letting you know that there's information in our longevity page that can provide some assistance there next question is can you ever get off this medication the answer is yes many people have successfully been proven to get off of this this is designed to help to heal the metabolic dysfunction this is not a magic medication as this class of medicine is designed to help the metabolic dysfunction we don't claim to cure or medicate any diseases guys we're not getting into that but when you get off the sugar addiction and you break the food addiction and you can start to have a healthy lifestyle in addition to that yes it's easy to wean yourself off uh I've heard rumors that people lose lean muscle that's correct because it's not magic some people try to treat it like magic they're sedentary they don't get out and exercise they sit around all day eating Doritos and yes they will lose the weight but if they haven't changed any lifestyle habits which is simple to do once you get on this medication then guess what they're going to go back to right where they were before they started right so when you lose rapid weight in anything whether you're doing gastric bypass so you're doing too much cardio whatever the case may be or a very strong caloric restriction you're going to lose overall body mass you know even if you're trying to get to get down to your fighting weight for a competition you're going to lose tissue you're going to lose muscle you're going to lose fat cells overall but to lose lean muscle that's the propaganda machine guys okay I've been on this product now for 12 weeks I've lost 44 lounds okay 44 lb and I'm actually firming up my muscles are more tighter I'm stronger that's how I know I'm not losing muscles it's not so much the size of your muscle mass that matters is are you gaining strength or losing strength and that's the key indicator but moving on are there any side effects for certain people there are side effects for everything there side effects with bees they have allergies to honey they have allergies to shellfish certain people can't take Ibuprofen doesn't mean there's anything wrong with ibuprofen per se some people can't take peanuts this is the same thing there's always going to be a class of people that's sensitive to any substance and the propaganda machine will take that 1 or 2% and make it seem like it's everybody that can't take it if you overdose on this medication you're going to have nausea and vomiting and that happens a lot with some of the commercial Brands where they're using the pre-filled pre-loaded pens with is the same lowest dose for everyone okay even if you overdose alcohol guys and gals you're going to have nausea and vomiting though I love how lmd does it we approach it with a compounding effect that targets the individuals BMI and their health history and for example my dosage is whatever number it is XYZ right I have a friend of mine that's on the same exact product but her dosage is less than half as mine less than half because on my dosage if she was restricted to a pre-loaded amount she would be overdosed and dealing with a lot of the side effects you hear with products like you know semaglutide or TPP or whatever the case may be tppd however has a lower side effect profile and then for people who don't pass the BMI chart and maybe you don't have that much weight to lose you can benefit from micro do and microd Doin is a huge Factor because gfp1 Agonist does a whole lot more than Target body fat reduction micro doin can help you target up to 10 pounds of body fat reduction but you're really going to get the other benefits like the cognitive clearance the cellular regeneration healing the gut microbiome and you know helping with certain things I've heard like addictions whether smoking addiction alcoholism gambling shopping addictions you know shopping online for things that get delivered to you during a blue truck every day yeah that's probably uh you're need you're needing some some neurological balance the same thing with scrolling addictions and watching too much TV guys so those they're research out there that talks about stuff like that Healthline has an article about glp1 Agonist helping to lower the risk or preventing 10 different types of cancers I've heard of acne I've heard of so many things like premenopausal param menopausal symptoms guys but do your research on that I want to keep this Q&A really short okay now touching we have a couple of other products which are really great out there nad+ nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide that's the long name for it but it's really a co-enzyme that we produce naturally but we don't produce Much Anymore beyond our mid 20s it's responsible for targeting the nutrients and the foods that we eat and taking them to the mitochondria level at the cell to produce the ATP energy that's that youthful go- hard energy we had as children and teenagers but as we get older we lose and we're depleted in anad plus so a lot of people are into that they're spending thousands of dollars on NAD programs right now our NAD plus currently is under 200 bucks guys it's a great addition to gop1 I'm using both of those products absolutely love it then we also have sorland that's the human hormone helps your body to produce more of that F leine muscle building for people who need to shed just a few pounds and maybe lean out a little bit and then you have synapsing for mental Clarity cognitive clearance and support and pt41 sexual function so again walking through the process you simply go online select your product add it to your cart create your free account fill out the assessment it's protected by Hippa it goes to the provider you pay and check out and you're done you're going to receive your product in maybe s to 10 days even though we do have a lot of people that get it a lot sooner than that we just don't want to overpromise so thank you so much for listening to this uh quick FAQ ladies and gentlemen based on my experience this is what I hear most often when people call to get a little Clarity before they move forward
