Coming up on this episode of the
healthy, wealthy, and wise podcast.

2
00:00:04,410 --> 00:00:10,079
You did mention something about,
um, some affiliation with the

3
00:00:11,610 --> 00:00:13,230
weight reduction or something.

4
00:00:13,230 --> 00:00:13,440
Oh,

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:14,279
BCD medicine.

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,469
Yes, absolutely.

7
00:00:15,809 --> 00:00:20,119
What are your thoughts on, um,
you know, Ozempic and, and all of

8
00:00:20,130 --> 00:00:21,789
the other weight reduction drugs?

9
00:00:21,790 --> 00:00:21,980
Sure.

10
00:00:22,290 --> 00:00:23,030
I think they're

11
00:00:23,470 --> 00:00:26,300
welcome to the healthy, wealthy,
and wise podcast with Dr.

12
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:26,849
William T.

13
00:00:26,849 --> 00:00:28,680

14
00:00:29,069 --> 00:00:32,530
This podcast will provide you with
tools and actionable information.

15
00:00:32,870 --> 00:00:37,260
You can use to help live a more
healthy, wealthy, and wise life.

16
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:42,489
It's powered by the over 50 years of
medical experience of this Yale university

17
00:00:42,490 --> 00:00:47,240
medical school trained surgeon, who is
also a Western state law school trained

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,620
attorney with executive experience being
a former mayor of Walnut, California,

19
00:00:52,890 --> 00:00:59,250
as well as the current chairman of the
nonprofit servants arms and as president

20
00:00:59,330 --> 00:01:02,130
of Chaka medical group, Yale incorporated.

21
00:01:03,129 --> 00:01:07,930
This is the leadership masterclass
edition already in progress.

22
00:01:08,330 --> 00:01:09,660
I noticed you mentioned,

23
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:15,170
um, um, how, um, uh, God has influenced
some of the things that you've

24
00:01:15,170 --> 00:01:16,830
done with, and that sort of thing.

25
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:22,060
Tell me about your, your spiritual
walk and, and how that is a part

26
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:24,320
of, um, uh, what, what you do.

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,070
Oh, uh, it's a very big part of my life.

28
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,419
You know, I don't think it would have
been, Nearly as easy to try to get

29
00:01:31,419 --> 00:01:34,660
through COVID and get through the
programs that we were going through

30
00:01:35,020 --> 00:01:36,360
without having God in my life.

31
00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:41,769
I think he was really, um, he, he was
blessed me with health during that time.

32
00:01:41,890 --> 00:01:46,520
Uh, he blessed me with, uh,
discernment and with wisdom to help,

33
00:01:46,609 --> 00:01:48,739
you know, lead, uh, our, our team.

34
00:01:48,869 --> 00:01:53,699
Um, And so it's critical, you
know, I think again of finding

35
00:01:53,699 --> 00:01:54,940
a way to ground yourself.

36
00:01:55,140 --> 00:01:59,170
And that was 1 of the ways I was able to
do that was to be able to remember that I

37
00:01:59,170 --> 00:02:06,559
know I'm a child of God and I get to talk
to him and make requests of him and ask

38
00:02:06,559 --> 00:02:11,539
him to watch over our family, friends or
university or students, faculty, staff.

39
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:16,110
And, and yet know that, you know,
his promises in the word are clear,

40
00:02:16,190 --> 00:02:17,800
uh, that he will not leave me alone.

41
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:20,210
Uh, and he will be by
my side at all times.

42
00:02:20,210 --> 00:02:22,739
And so that's very reassuring
during difficult times.

43
00:02:23,645 --> 00:02:24,465
Absolutely.

44
00:02:24,525 --> 00:02:25,295
Absolutely.

45
00:02:25,295 --> 00:02:30,755
And I think, um, it is that spiritual
strength that a lot of times we may

46
00:02:30,765 --> 00:02:35,504
take for granted or we may not tend
to as much as we should, um, either

47
00:02:35,505 --> 00:02:37,444
because, well, you know, I'm too tired.

48
00:02:37,444 --> 00:02:40,335
I don't want to go to church today
or whatever, whatever excuse we come

49
00:02:40,335 --> 00:02:44,295
up with, but it is just as vital, if
not more vital than the nutrition and

50
00:02:44,295 --> 00:02:45,695
other things that we talked about.

51
00:02:46,175 --> 00:02:50,365
Um, you know, how we, what, what
we believe affects how we think,

52
00:02:50,415 --> 00:02:52,455
how we think affects how we feel.

53
00:02:52,830 --> 00:02:55,280
Uh, we feel affects how we act, right?

54
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,510
So it starts with that belief system.

55
00:02:58,020 --> 00:03:01,480
Um, and if that belief system is
not working, change it, you know,

56
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,849
uh, but, but it starts there.

57
00:03:03,860 --> 00:03:08,379
Um, and that's why I believe that
we're the, the biggest arbitrators

58
00:03:08,380 --> 00:03:10,410
of, of what ultimately happens to us.

59
00:03:10,410 --> 00:03:11,380
And we're in control of that.

60
00:03:11,380 --> 00:03:14,480
We can blame other people, but it's
really the person in the mirror.

61
00:03:14,745 --> 00:03:14,965
Right.

62
00:03:14,965 --> 00:03:19,385
It really is the person in the mirror
in terms of how we handle it and how we

63
00:03:19,385 --> 00:03:20,795
get through it and that sort of thing.

64
00:03:21,065 --> 00:03:24,285
And many times we won't understand,
um, I know certainly I don't

65
00:03:24,285 --> 00:03:28,025
understand a lot of things, but I,
what I've learned is I don't have

66
00:03:28,025 --> 00:03:30,595
to, I don't have to know everything.

67
00:03:30,595 --> 00:03:35,445
I don't have to be able to figure it
out, you know, or draw designs about how

68
00:03:35,445 --> 00:03:37,405
I'm going to do this operation tomorrow.

69
00:03:37,535 --> 00:03:37,825
Right.

70
00:03:37,825 --> 00:03:45,305
A lot of times I don't have to do that,
you know, uh, Uh, but, but, but that,

71
00:03:45,325 --> 00:03:48,575
that's sort of the way life is and
that's where the good Lord set it up.

72
00:03:48,575 --> 00:03:52,805
And, and we're part of a bigger
plan, you know, and our goal is

73
00:03:52,805 --> 00:03:58,154
to, um, fulfill our role, you know,
to walk our path and do our best.

74
00:03:58,505 --> 00:04:02,425
Um, and I, I think that that's in my
mind, that's where leadership comes in

75
00:04:02,425 --> 00:04:08,775
because I think if one is blessed with
opportunity and ability to lead, uh,

76
00:04:08,795 --> 00:04:10,695
that with that comes a certain duty.

77
00:04:10,990 --> 00:04:11,180
Yeah.

78
00:04:11,180 --> 00:04:11,340
To

79
00:04:11,340 --> 00:04:15,310
actually lead, to, to actually help
others and, you know, like, like

80
00:04:15,310 --> 00:04:18,829
what you're doing with the students
getting involved with the, the COVID

81
00:04:18,829 --> 00:04:21,579
issues and that sort of thing, all
of which were put in your path.

82
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:22,969
You didn't ask for that.

83
00:04:23,049 --> 00:04:26,000
Neither did you know it was
going to happen, but you were

84
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,309
able to rise to the occasion.

85
00:04:28,045 --> 00:04:31,555
It would rise to the occasion and,
and, and God bless leaders like

86
00:04:31,555 --> 00:04:33,195
yourself and that sort of thing.

87
00:04:33,375 --> 00:04:38,654
Uh, because those of us who were sort
of over that hill, you know, we sort of

88
00:04:38,655 --> 00:04:43,075
looked at you guys to sort of take it over
and make it better, um, and everything.

89
00:04:43,494 --> 00:04:48,045
So, um, what, what, what,
what do you see next for you?

90
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,870
Uh, well, you know, uh, we continue to
expand our services at Purdue university.

91
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,870
So one of the things that
we're doing is working on, uh,

92
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,770
telehealth and a text care program.

93
00:04:58,770 --> 00:05:03,920
So it allows more 24 seven service
to our, um, to our patients.

94
00:05:03,929 --> 00:05:07,420
So that way, you know how it is when
people feel sick, it's sometimes, you

95
00:05:07,420 --> 00:05:10,860
know, one o'clock in the morning, we
actually have folks that are on and

96
00:05:10,860 --> 00:05:12,550
able to take care of those calls.

97
00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:13,914
And so we're developing
a 24 seven service.

98
00:05:14,085 --> 00:05:18,095
347 program through, um,
the company that I work for.

99
00:05:18,095 --> 00:05:21,225
And they, uh, we're really
expanding and I think we're

100
00:05:21,225 --> 00:05:22,485
getting some really good results.

101
00:05:22,505 --> 00:05:26,245
We're expanding also the amount of clinics
that we have through the university.

102
00:05:26,884 --> 00:05:29,305
So, we now have three
clinics that we offer.

103
00:05:29,705 --> 00:05:33,234
Purdue has, or the university
has multiple different campuses.

104
00:05:33,234 --> 00:05:37,730
So, um, And we're starting to build
more and more clinics in those areas.

105
00:05:37,730 --> 00:05:40,130
So I get to help oversee those as well.

106
00:05:40,140 --> 00:05:44,700
So I think looking at, uh, also, uh,
continuing to build my leadership skills,

107
00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:48,390
you know, there's always more to learn
to be able to try to continue to stay

108
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:51,599
on top of the latest and greatest,
which is a difficult thing to do.

109
00:05:51,599 --> 00:05:56,045
It's a moving target, but I think knowing
that, you know, You're, you have to know

110
00:05:56,045 --> 00:05:59,365
that you're a lifelong learner when you
go into medicine and that's exactly,

111
00:05:59,645 --> 00:06:03,635
um, you know, where, where I'm at now is
just, uh, okay, where, where do I get my

112
00:06:03,635 --> 00:06:05,945
next level of, uh, continuing education?

113
00:06:06,354 --> 00:06:10,035
Um, and just continue to learn,
you know, uh, you know, God, God's

114
00:06:10,035 --> 00:06:13,885
in control and he's gonna, he's
gonna continue to guide me and,

115
00:06:13,885 --> 00:06:18,355
and I'll, I'll follow as diligently
as I can and as faithful as I can.

116
00:06:19,210 --> 00:06:19,800
Excellent.

117
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:20,600
Excellent.

118
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,970
Well, listen, I want to thank
you for, um, uh, sharing your

119
00:06:24,970 --> 00:06:26,570
very valuable time with us.

120
00:06:26,830 --> 00:06:32,069
Any, any, any words of wisdom you want
to leave us with, um, uh, let me say

121
00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:37,109
that you're, you're speaking to, um,
over, you know, thousands of people

122
00:06:37,119 --> 00:06:42,620
around the world, um, and, um, uh,
in any thoughts you want to share.

123
00:06:43,060 --> 00:06:43,430
Sure.

124
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,590
Uh, you know, I think it's, uh, we
talked about, you know, spirituality,

125
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,590
religion and our belief system.

126
00:06:50,590 --> 00:06:51,680
I think that is key.

127
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,380
I think you're, you're a hundred
percent right that we need to know,

128
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,420
um, where our strength comes from.

129
00:06:57,719 --> 00:07:00,809
And I think knowing that through
thick and thin through any difficult

130
00:07:00,809 --> 00:07:05,510
situations, uh, we need to be able
to find our strength in, in, in God.

131
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,160
Um, and I think that is critical,
uh, for our direction and, and that

132
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,280
sometimes when things are unknown.

133
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,590
Uh, when, when we don't know where we're
headed or what's happening or, um, uh,

134
00:07:17,590 --> 00:07:21,290
we know that that God's in control and
that we can have faith and trust in him.

135
00:07:21,429 --> 00:07:24,750
And we don't need to be anxious,
just like the good word says.

136
00:07:25,250 --> 00:07:30,169
Um, and we need to just have faith
and trust, uh, in, in, in what's

137
00:07:30,169 --> 00:07:31,980
going to happen is God's will.

138
00:07:31,980 --> 00:07:32,560
Yeah.

139
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,139
Yeah.

140
00:07:33,139 --> 00:07:34,299
I agree.

141
00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:34,800
I agree.

142
00:07:35,190 --> 00:07:39,000
Jesse, you have any questions
for Esteban before we let him go?

143
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:39,139
You're on mute.

144
00:07:39,950 --> 00:07:40,740
Not really.

145
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,090
Although, uh, you did mention
something about, um, doing, uh,

146
00:07:45,099 --> 00:07:50,385
having some affiliation with the
Uh, weight reduction or something.

147
00:07:50,385 --> 00:07:51,035
Oh, BCD

148
00:07:51,035 --> 00:07:51,445
medicine.

149
00:07:51,445 --> 00:07:52,045
Yes.

150
00:07:52,085 --> 00:07:52,595
Absolutely.

151
00:07:52,595 --> 00:07:52,795
Yeah.

152
00:07:52,825 --> 00:07:57,304
What are your thoughts on, um,
you know, Ozempic and, and all of

153
00:07:57,305 --> 00:07:58,975
the other weight reduction drugs?

154
00:07:58,975 --> 00:07:59,355
Sure.

155
00:07:59,435 --> 00:08:02,494
I think they're, they're actually a
really good tool to use right now.

156
00:08:02,495 --> 00:08:06,394
I think it's another great, most of
these medications came about from, um,

157
00:08:06,404 --> 00:08:08,684
diabetes medication control, right?

158
00:08:08,855 --> 00:08:11,065
Getting the sugars down,
getting our A1C down.

159
00:08:11,065 --> 00:08:13,065
And what we're finding
is with more and more.

160
00:08:13,294 --> 00:08:16,604
Research not only does it lower
your sugars and keep you healthy,

161
00:08:16,604 --> 00:08:18,825
it helps to minimize heart attacks.

162
00:08:18,825 --> 00:08:21,924
It seems to minimize, uh,
damaged with the kidneys.

163
00:08:21,924 --> 00:08:25,755
That's usually associated with diabetes
seems to lower risk for heart attacks.

164
00:08:25,755 --> 00:08:30,694
And now, just recently, dementia that
we're seeing some suggestion that it

165
00:08:30,694 --> 00:08:32,345
seems to lessen the risk for dementia.

166
00:08:32,645 --> 00:08:34,755
So I think these are
really good medications.

167
00:08:34,755 --> 00:08:37,039
Are they the, you know,
the The silver bullet?

168
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:37,539
No.

169
00:08:37,620 --> 00:08:41,220
Um, I think we, you know, we, we're going
to have more and more medicines that come

170
00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:42,570
down that are going to be even better.

171
00:08:42,850 --> 00:08:46,010
But I think this is a really good
tool to utilize in the right patient.

172
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,380
Not everyone should be on it.

173
00:08:47,790 --> 00:08:51,480
Uh, that's why they have, um, you
know, certain guidelines for who should

174
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:52,870
get it and who should not get it.

175
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:56,769
But I think, at least in my experience,
I've been able to use them with our

176
00:08:56,769 --> 00:08:59,300
patients and seeing some amazing results.

177
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:01,930
And what I like to do is
get people off medicines.

178
00:09:01,950 --> 00:09:04,855
And this is one of those medications
that Maybe you're still in

179
00:09:04,855 --> 00:09:06,145
that ozempic, but guess what?

180
00:09:06,145 --> 00:09:08,625
You're off your blood pressure pills,
you're off your cholesterol pills,

181
00:09:08,625 --> 00:09:11,955
you're off all these other pills because
you've been able to control things.

182
00:09:11,985 --> 00:09:16,935
You know, a lot of pathology, a lot
of disease comes from many times,

183
00:09:17,275 --> 00:09:22,005
um, being overweight sometimes or
not, not being physically active,

184
00:09:22,065 --> 00:09:23,964
uh, or not having good nutrition.

185
00:09:24,304 --> 00:09:28,630
And so, So by working on those three
things, and it shouldn't be just the

186
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:32,810
medicine, it should be the medicine and
the physical activity and the eating well,

187
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,459
because that's what makes it all complete.

188
00:09:34,590 --> 00:09:37,760
The medicine by itself, it does some,
but it's not going to be able to do as

189
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,950
amazing as if you do all those things
put together, because someday we'll

190
00:09:40,950 --> 00:09:42,359
like to get you off of that medicine.

191
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:42,620
Right.

192
00:09:42,939 --> 00:09:45,810
And so we need to have some good
habits in place at that time.

193
00:09:46,025 --> 00:09:49,944
Uh, but I think it's, you know, it's a
really good medicine to use right now.

194
00:09:49,944 --> 00:09:51,475
But like I said, it's not for everyone.

195
00:09:51,505 --> 00:09:54,045
So there are some reasons
not to give that medication.

196
00:09:54,074 --> 00:09:58,044
And, and, you know, uh,
physicians are well known or are

197
00:09:58,045 --> 00:09:59,164
well aware of what those are.

198
00:09:59,164 --> 00:10:01,655
And if you're the right
candidate, they'll recommend it.

199
00:10:01,655 --> 00:10:04,154
If you're not the right candidate,
just trust that there are some

200
00:10:04,154 --> 00:10:07,895
things, um, that, that, you know,
it's not recommended to continue.

201
00:10:08,090 --> 00:10:10,220
One of the, one of the reasons, one
of the things that I'm mentioning

202
00:10:10,220 --> 00:10:13,250
is, um, uh, medullary thyroid cancer.

203
00:10:13,290 --> 00:10:16,100
That's one of the things that if you
have any history of thyroid cancer,

204
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:19,139
you're not a good candidate for
that particular medication, uh, in

205
00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:21,040
particular medullary thyroid cancer.

206
00:10:21,270 --> 00:10:23,740
So those are the sort of things
that just need to be aware.

207
00:10:23,770 --> 00:10:28,400
Um, but for most, I would say
easily 98 percent of the patients

208
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,960
that I've, um, that have either
requested it or I offered it to them.

209
00:10:32,290 --> 00:10:33,620
They're a great candidate for that.

210
00:10:33,620 --> 00:10:35,390
And I've seen some really good results

211
00:10:35,730 --> 00:10:37,610
on the MBA side of that.

212
00:10:38,015 --> 00:10:43,744
These drugs are costly work behind
trying to get the reduce the cost.

213
00:10:44,185 --> 00:10:44,824
Absolutely.

214
00:10:44,824 --> 00:10:48,094
You know, that's, uh, you know,
there's a, there's a whole process

215
00:10:48,094 --> 00:10:49,824
behind getting a medication approved.

216
00:10:49,824 --> 00:10:53,314
And so the pharmaceutical
companies, of course, put a, um,

217
00:10:53,404 --> 00:10:55,574
and, and I know that, uh, Dr.

218
00:10:55,574 --> 00:10:57,864
Choctaw knows the correct term
for it, but you have like a

219
00:10:57,864 --> 00:10:59,625
patent or something that would.

220
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,280
You know, keep the price
at a certain level.

221
00:11:01,290 --> 00:11:03,510
But from my standpoint, I
don't worry about that stuff.

222
00:11:03,510 --> 00:11:06,220
I try to get it as coverable
for the patients best we can.

223
00:11:06,670 --> 00:11:09,799
Thankfully, we do have some, you
know, pharmacy prescription cards

224
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,140
that can help lower the cost.

225
00:11:11,140 --> 00:11:16,529
We do have a lot of employers that
are looking to try to bargain with

226
00:11:16,529 --> 00:11:19,500
the pharmaceutical companies to
help get the costs down as well.

227
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,760
And then, of course, one can always choose
to use the HSA cards to try to use some of

228
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,720
the costs or to offset some of that cost.

229
00:11:27,180 --> 00:11:27,669
I think.

230
00:11:27,895 --> 00:11:31,675
What we're going to see is because all
this research is coming in showing that

231
00:11:31,675 --> 00:11:35,475
there's so much benefit to it, not just
with those who have diabetes, but those

232
00:11:35,475 --> 00:11:41,515
who have, um, um, other issues like severe
osteoarthritis, uh, like I mentioned,

233
00:11:41,525 --> 00:11:43,275
uh, dementia or things like that.

234
00:11:43,805 --> 00:11:45,404
I think more insurances
are going to cover it.

235
00:11:46,135 --> 00:11:49,115
I think you're going to see probably
Medicare eventually, hopefully, uh, will

236
00:11:49,115 --> 00:11:52,755
come on board and say, you know what, I
think this is, this is going to lessen

237
00:11:52,755 --> 00:11:57,515
the risk for someday having an open heart
surgery or lessen the risk for a stroke,

238
00:11:57,645 --> 00:12:01,685
uh, or, or if I can prevent dementia,
that would be a great way to do that.

239
00:12:01,785 --> 00:12:02,035
Yes.

240
00:12:02,145 --> 00:12:06,115
Um, so I think those sort of studies, once
we start getting more and more of this,

241
00:12:06,155 --> 00:12:10,195
uh, you know, research data back, I think
we'll start seeing that, that insurances

242
00:12:10,195 --> 00:12:13,085
will start coming on board saying,
wait, there might be some, some benefit

243
00:12:13,095 --> 00:12:14,675
to this outside of what we thought.

244
00:12:14,675 --> 00:12:18,605
Um, and they might, I think I'm,
I'm hopeful that they'll approve it.

245
00:12:19,540 --> 00:12:22,620
That's great information and I think a
lot of people will get hope from what

246
00:12:23,060 --> 00:12:24,550
information that you've just shared.

247
00:12:24,980 --> 00:12:25,390
Thank you.

248
00:12:26,130 --> 00:12:26,940
Absolutely.

249
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,820
Uh, any, any other questions

250
00:12:28,940 --> 00:12:29,520
Esteban?

251
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,689
Uh, No, just thank you for having me.

252
00:12:32,689 --> 00:12:35,931
You know, I really appreciate the
chance to, to see you guys and, and,

253
00:12:35,936 --> 00:12:38,990
uh, talk to you guys about some of
the current issues that are going

254
00:12:38,990 --> 00:12:41,689
on and, and just having a chance to
tell you a little bit about myself.

255
00:12:41,689 --> 00:12:42,650
I really appreciate that.

256

Well, you are absolutely, uh, welcome and,

that you, you, you just want

00:12:52,670 --> 00:12:54,140
to talk about, you can do that.

260
00:12:54,530 --> 00:13:00,380
Uh, but, uh, you've done a lot to expand
our knowledge and our skillset and.

261
00:13:00,890 --> 00:13:03,290
Information that we can sort
of share with the public.

262
00:13:03,740 --> 00:13:06,740
Um, and so with that, have a blessed day.

263
00:13:06,980 --> 00:13:07,460
Thank you.
