- RFK Jr. may not always speak clearly to the mainstream public in a way that resonates.
- Dr. Hampton still faces challenges in the mainstream medical space, where other doctors struggle to embrace certain concepts; for example, many of his peers continue to have trouble accepting the idea that saturated fat is not harmful. (14:00)
- Despite the benefits of a low-carb or ketogenic diet and its positive effects on things like diabetes and other metabolic diseases, it is still not accepted by many doctors.

Advocating and Taking Action

- They discuss the negative aspects of GLP-1s.
- The muscle loss associated with GLP-1 is more pronounced than that observed with natural weight loss.
- Muscle is essential for so many reasons, including boosting insulin sensitivity. (38:00)

- Increasing muscle mass prevents you from becoming fragile. (38:00)
- Dr. Hampton offers two programs: NEST, which stands for Nutrition, Exercise, Less Stress/More Sleep, and How You Think/Less Trauma.
