Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: kf I A M six forty.
Speaker 2: Well listening listens or says you should work out this
Speaker 2: Baptist work out.
Speaker 3: Kf I AM six forty is Later with Mo Kelly
Speaker 3: and Clauding Cooper. We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 3: app and Cludding. It's great to see you. And I
Speaker 3: know you're not a doctor, and I'm not going to
Speaker 3: put you in that chair, but you, like me, are
Speaker 3: living through this time in which drugs like ozimpic and others,
Speaker 3: these quote unquote wonder drugs are changing people's lives. And
Speaker 3: these are what have been termed rightfully so as off
Speaker 3: label uses. You know, it was designed for something else,
Speaker 3: and they realized, oh wait a minute, people also losing
Speaker 3: weight for it, and start people are using it specifically
Speaker 3: for that reason. And now we have more information under
Speaker 3: our belts because people have been using it for a
Speaker 3: longer period of time. There's some unintended consequences and I
Speaker 3: would love to get your thoughts. In US, it seems
Speaker 3: that experts have sounded the alarm over drugs like ozempic
Speaker 3: because some people are going blind because of it. Several
Speaker 3: studies have linked the shots to conditions that cause inflammation
Speaker 3: and block blood flow to the eye, causing severe and
Speaker 3: sometimes permanent vision loss. That's not for you to worry about, okay,
Speaker 3: But I do worry about the psychology of I'm willing
Speaker 3: to risk this and that to get the body which
Speaker 3: is supposedly healthier as opposed to putting in the work.
Speaker 4: Well, I've spoken to a few people who have tried
Speaker 4: these ozebic style drugs, and what they say is they've
Speaker 4: tried everything up until this point. In other words, it
Speaker 4: wasn't like a weight loss drug. It was actually designed
Speaker 4: for people who were diabetic. That's what it originally came
Speaker 4: out for, right, And so what they're saying is they
Speaker 4: weren't able to get a good handle on their health
Speaker 4: until they tried this, and then they were able to
Speaker 4: see the weight loss or the decreased appetite and then
Speaker 4: the more energy which allows them to get into the
Speaker 4: gym and to do these things. So it's hard for
Speaker 4: me to say is it good or is it bad.
Speaker 4: I don't think any of us should want to be
Speaker 4: dependent on any kind of medication for a long period
Speaker 4: of time. So if there are these side effects, I
Speaker 4: think if it served its purpose for a period and
Speaker 4: you were able to get in and you're able to
Speaker 4: lock in on your health goals, then you should also
Speaker 4: be able to reverse the need for medication at a
Speaker 4: certain point.
Speaker 3: But we've seen in this i'll say celebrity culture, sure, well,
Speaker 3: thin is in Thin is the thing, not even being healthy,
Speaker 3: but just being thin. We're seeing people who obviously didn't
Speaker 3: need to use it, not for health reasons, but for
Speaker 3: apparent's reasons. Actresses, even actors on some level using it
Speaker 3: because they want to either stay rail thin or they
Speaker 3: need to lose an extra ten to fifteen pounds.
Speaker 5: That's what concerns me.
Speaker 4: Well, that's been happening for years and years, decades and decades,
Speaker 4: and there's unhealthy ways to lose weight even before these
Speaker 4: drugs came to fact.
Speaker 2: So I don't think that will go away.
Speaker 4: If you're talking about people that are trying to lose
Speaker 4: weight to be on a specific show or movie or whatever.
Speaker 4: They've been doing that since who knows when?
Speaker 3: Right, tell me when you are in the gym, and
Speaker 3: I know you probably ear hustle people's conversations.
Speaker 5: Me, No, yes, you too.
Speaker 3: Do you hear these types of drugs coming up in
Speaker 3: conversation of people talking about them.
Speaker 4: So, actually, because I don't even have to ear hustle,
Speaker 4: people are probably ear hustling between me and someone at
Speaker 4: the gym because they often come to me and share
Speaker 4: their journey with me. Right, And so I have spoken
Speaker 4: to people who have used specifically ozembic and who have
Speaker 4: seen some incredible results. Now those people are not currently blind,
Speaker 4: I will tell you that, so currently not currently, but
Speaker 4: what they're telling me is that over all the years
Speaker 4: that they've been trying different methods to lose weight and
Speaker 4: to get a handle on their health, this was the
Speaker 4: first time they were able to And so for that
Speaker 4: I can't be mad at it.
Speaker 3: You know, No, I'm quite sure there are success stories,
Speaker 3: and because one of the reasons that this is is
Speaker 3: such a phenomenon is because it has changed people's lives.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, this study suggests to me
Speaker 3: that we may not know the long term implications of
Speaker 3: that fantastic turnaround for some blindness for others.
Speaker 5: That's what we know right now.
Speaker 3: In your career and the course of doing what you do,
Speaker 3: do you think that what we're experiencing with these weight
Speaker 3: loss drugs is cyclical.
Speaker 5: Is this just the latest thing or is this something
Speaker 5: really different?
Speaker 2: Resolutely, No, you know it's cyclical.
Speaker 4: In fact, every so often you'll have a trend, whatever
Speaker 4: that is. It might not be a medical trend. It
Speaker 4: may not be medication. It could be an eating trend.
Speaker 4: It could be a workout trend. And you see people
Speaker 4: jump on the trend and lose weight and this is
Speaker 4: the latest thing, and everybody needs to be vegan, or
Speaker 4: everybody needs.
Speaker 2: To at Kim Atkin's diet whatever.
Speaker 4: Exactly, everyone should be doing boot camp style training.
Speaker 2: That's the way, you know, that's training. Exactly.
Speaker 4: There's always going to be a fad that is taking
Speaker 4: place in the health and fitness industry and people jump
Speaker 4: on it and then later they find out, oh, well
Speaker 4: this has some side effects or this is bad for
Speaker 4: this or whatever, and you know, we just moved through
Speaker 4: it to the next thing, right, But the real deal
Speaker 4: is the consistent ability to lock into daily exercise and
Speaker 4: proper nutrition.
Speaker 2: That's really what it is.
Speaker 3: In your many years and you told us how you
Speaker 3: started in the gym's some at eighteen years old, did
Speaker 3: you ever find yourself more susceptible or less susceptible to
Speaker 3: some of these fads and programs and you know, what
Speaker 3: was it one like ninety days?
Speaker 5: What was it X ninety or something like that.
Speaker 2: You tell me, Okay, I don't even know, right, did
Speaker 2: you ever know what you mean?
Speaker 4: Yeah? So for me personne P ninety X, yes, uh huh,
Speaker 4: I've I've worked out pretty much my whole adult life,
Speaker 4: and I really do think that all movement is good movement.
Speaker 4: But I've done almost all of the movements. So I
Speaker 4: used to do P ninety X, right, I love that workout.
Speaker 4: I did the Insanity series. You know, all these different
Speaker 4: things that have come out, I've done them. I've tried them,
Speaker 4: and honestly, I mean, as long as you don't feel
Speaker 4: like you have to get married to one way, I
Speaker 4: don't think it's bad to try the new ways. Now,
Speaker 4: when it comes to medication, I can honestly say I
Speaker 4: have never been on any medication, So for me, I
Speaker 4: can't really weigh in as an expert. But when people
Speaker 4: come to me and tell me that a medication has
Speaker 4: changed their life, I can't be the negative Nelly in
Speaker 4: here saying like, oh, don't do it, because I see
Speaker 4: how happy they are with their new body, their new
Speaker 4: lease on life, this new level of energy, and so
Speaker 4: I want that for them. So if it took the
Speaker 4: medication to get them there, then okay.
Speaker 5: So be it.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Claudian Cooper joins us in studio. We're talking about the
Speaker 3: possible side effects of ozimpic and how that impacts the
Speaker 3: psychology of people wanting to reach either their weight loss
Speaker 3: goals or fitness goals, or they're just body or parents
Speaker 3: or health goals.
Speaker 4: And real quick, a guy came up to me the
Speaker 4: other day and said, Hey, I have a testimony for you.
Speaker 2: I said, give it to me.
Speaker 4: He said, since I've been working out at this gym,
Speaker 4: I'm no longer on my blood pressure medication and I'm
Speaker 4: no longer on insulin.
Speaker 3: Let's at church. Say amen, amen, I AM six forty.
Speaker 3: We'll have more with Clauding Cooper in just a moment.
Speaker 3: We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Kfi'm O Kelly and Clauding Cooper. We're live everywhere on
Speaker 3: the iHeartRadio app. Also dubbed us the Nice Exercise Lady,
Speaker 3: which was coined by Mark Runner, and from that we
Speaker 3: got her official intro, which played last segment. All credit
Speaker 3: due to Mark Roner because he was the inspiration.
Speaker 1: I got in touch with Eric Lisardo and told him
Speaker 1: that was the most brilliant thing he's ever done, and
Speaker 1: he's done a lot of brilliant things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we love the jangle.
Speaker 3: Before the break cluddying, we were talking about ozempic and
Speaker 3: how that has positively changed and impacted people's lives, and
Speaker 3: we talked about some of the side effects that we're
Speaker 3: now learning more about because people are taking it for
Speaker 3: a longer period of time and we have a larger
Speaker 3: sample size, if you will. And I was asking you
Speaker 3: about the psychology of it. I wonder if someone who's
Speaker 3: been in the gym since eighteen years old, and you
Speaker 3: were telling me during the break that you've been pretty
Speaker 3: much the same size because you've been consistent that full time,
Speaker 3: does it make it more difficult for you when you're
Speaker 3: dealing with clients or people who would be coming into
Speaker 3: the gym who make the assumption it's easier for you,
Speaker 3: because you know, let's say you're any bitty.
Speaker 4: Well, I do think it is a little bit harder
Speaker 4: to relate to someone who's always been the same size.
Speaker 4: And one thing about consistency is that it looks effortless
Speaker 4: to people who see your results because they don't see
Speaker 4: the effort that you put in to your consistent behavior.
Speaker 4: Now we could be talking about anything. We don't necessarily
Speaker 4: got to talk about exercise. We could be talking about
Speaker 4: the consistency in your career, or your marriage or anything parenting.
Speaker 4: But what people see as the results and so they
Speaker 4: don't really see the work that goes into it. And so, yes,
Speaker 4: you are correct. I've had conversations with people in the past.
Speaker 4: I'll give you an example. I was at a house party.
Speaker 4: Actually it was a backyard boogie, you know what I
Speaker 4: saw you at, uh huh. And someone said to me,
Speaker 4: are you still teaching your classes? And I said, yes,
Speaker 4: I'm still teaching my classes. And she said, I keep
Speaker 4: saying I'm going to go to one of your classes,
Speaker 4: but I just don't think you'll be able to train
Speaker 4: me because you've never been big. And I was like, uh,
Speaker 4: I train all sizes, all shapes, and all levels. But
Speaker 4: I don't think that she felt that I was relatable
Speaker 4: mm hm or she could You could meet her where
Speaker 4: she was right right. I think people have this, you know,
Speaker 4: maybe like a perception that I'm just gonna be moving
Speaker 4: at a pace that works best for my size, but
Speaker 4: I won't be able to welcome in people from various sizes, shapes,
Speaker 4: and levels, which is you know you've.
Speaker 2: Been to my workouts. You know that's completely false.
Speaker 3: And I know you do have that sixth gear where
Speaker 3: you can take it up where people will start falling
Speaker 3: out if you need to go there.
Speaker 4: I definitely do, And when I'm going to my classes
Speaker 4: at Equinox, I take it to the sixth gear because
Speaker 4: the people who are at Equinox want the sixth here.
Speaker 4: But when I'm working with all levels in a free
Speaker 4: community workout or at a place where there's people who have,
Speaker 4: maybe you know, a sedentary lifestyle, I take my time.
Speaker 2: I know how to.
Speaker 4: I've been doing it long enough to know how to
Speaker 4: gauge the different levels.
Speaker 3: How do you try to how do you manage to
Speaker 3: break through to someone like that who may be very
Speaker 3: self conscious about his or her bodies, both sexist, who
Speaker 3: be self conscious, and they may not have worked out
Speaker 3: in years years? What's that icebreaker like in a training sense?
Speaker 4: Well, one thing I always tell people is like, don't
Speaker 4: just come into the gym after having a long period
Speaker 4: of sedentary time and try to go hard, like go
Speaker 4: one hundred right, take your time. Start by walking, Start
Speaker 4: by doing small steps to get.
Speaker 2: To a bigger goal. The pool is a great way
Speaker 2: to start.
Speaker 4: If you have access to a pool and you may
Speaker 4: have some mobility issues or joint issues, getting in the
Speaker 4: pool is a great low impact way to still move
Speaker 4: your body and to see some really good results, but
Speaker 4: to not overdo it right away. Also, walking walking is
Speaker 4: an amazing exercise for all levels.
Speaker 5: I'll swear by it.
Speaker 2: You swear by it exactly.
Speaker 4: I see you walk around the station too, and so anyways,
Speaker 4: there's ways that you can go into it. The problem
Speaker 4: is when we want to go in and we want
Speaker 4: to be our high school athletic self after living a
Speaker 4: sedentary lifestyle for a period.
Speaker 2: Well, high school's only five six decades behind.
Speaker 5: Us six years ago.
Speaker 3: It's amazing how quickly the time goes by. And I
Speaker 3: was talking to Twalla the other day and he was
Speaker 3: talking about how he pulled a muscle just stretching his chest,
Speaker 3: you know, and I remember I hurt myself. Don't know
Speaker 3: how just waking up in the morning like a sprain
Speaker 3: by ankle. Somehow, well, somehow.
Speaker 2: Well, I hear women say all the time.
Speaker 4: So one thing you may not know, which is a
Speaker 4: common thing with women my age, is the frozen shoulder.
Speaker 4: So the frozen shoulder is something that happens during menopause
Speaker 4: to a lot of women, and it happens from doing
Speaker 4: absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2: You're like, what just happened. I wasn't even lifting weights,
Speaker 2: I wasn't even doing any type of.
Speaker 4: Workout, and my shoulder is basically immobile.
Speaker 2: Even you, it doesn't happen to me.
Speaker 4: But I can relate because we as people over fifty.
Speaker 2: Now that I'm one over.
Speaker 3: Fifty, why ya always gonna bring me into your stuff?
Speaker 3: You are over fifty. Everybody knows I'm over fifty. We're
Speaker 3: still working on mark.
Speaker 4: Those of us who are over fifty know that you
Speaker 4: can do absolutely nothing and find yourself injured. I reached
Speaker 4: in the back of true, Oh shoot, what just happened?
Speaker 4: But there are ways around it, And that's why I'm
Speaker 4: saying I definitely employ these practices to keep my body mobile.
Speaker 4: So there are ways. Wake up, stretch the body. Yes,
Speaker 4: that's a big one, right, huge one. Another big one
Speaker 4: is making sure that you incorporate some kind of exercise
Speaker 4: every single day, not three days a week, not five
Speaker 4: days a week, moving the body daily.
Speaker 2: Even on a day.
Speaker 4: When you're not at work or you're not this is
Speaker 4: your rest day, you should still be doing something to
Speaker 4: keep your body in motion. Motion is the lotion you know.
Speaker 4: That means our joints need the motion. So that's one
Speaker 4: of the reasons why I don't think I've experienced the
Speaker 4: frozen shoulder, but I can relate to it because I
Speaker 4: notice how stiff I get if I'm not doing my practices.
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you what my pastor used to
Speaker 3: tell me when he is alive. If it hasn't happened yet,
Speaker 3: keep on living.
Speaker 4: Oh I My grandmother used to say, keep on living,
Speaker 4: keep on living, yep, yep. And so I'm going to
Speaker 4: keep on living, God willing, and we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4: I'll report back next Wednesday very quickly.
Speaker 3: The free community workouts are coming back when again.
Speaker 4: March first, Saturday morning, nine am, in partnership with Cedar
Speaker 4: Sinai Hollywood Park, and we're doing it while the Farmer's
Speaker 4: market is going on. So it'll be farmers Market, work out.
