The promise? A simple injection that curbs your appetite, melts away fat, and makes cravings disappear. Sounds amazing, right?<\/p>\n<p>I thought so, too. Until I interviewed this man last night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The interview is live on YouTube. It\u2019s 25 minutes long and truly worth a watch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ozempic\/GLP-1 vs WildFit: Trick Your Body to Lose Weight NATURALLY | @Mindvalley\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/To_P3WdeAVo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ozempic\/GLP-1 vs WildFit: Trick Your Body to Lose Weight NATURALLY | @Mindvalley\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/To_P3WdeAVo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/p><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ozempic\/GLP-1 vs. WILDFIT: Trick Your Body to Lose Weight NATURALLY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now, for your convenience, I wanted to share the key ideas from this interview with you in today\u2019s newsletter. The person I\u2019m speaking to is Eric Edmeades. The brilliant transformational architect who created WILDFIT. Eric\u2019s process of teaching people how to lose weight has been so effective that he\u2019s been awarded a medal by the Canadian Senate and invited to speak at the Parliament in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Our interview last night happened randomly. We were filming something totally different, and Eric said, <em>\u201cVishen, if you have time, I really want to share some important information on Ozempic.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m glad I said yes. I\u2019m sharing the interview as a video on Youtube (25 mins) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=To_P3WdeAVo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">link here<\/a>) and in summarized form in this email.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, Eric has created WILDFIT. So, WILDFIT is a competitor to Ozempic. I just want to be clear about this upfront. But what I like about WILDFIT is that it creates long-term results and is natural and safe. It\u2019s also now included in Mindvalley Membership, so if you\u2019re a member, you don\u2019t have to pay anything extra.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And on the other hand, with Ozempic (a type of GLP-1 medication) \u2026<\/p>\n<p>GLP-1 drugs cost a staggering $11,000\u2013$12,000 a year in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>They come with serious side effects\u2014muscle loss, nausea, fatigue, and even long-term risks like thyroid cancer.<\/p>\n<p>And worst of all? They\u2019re designed to be a lifetime prescription. Once you start, stopping becomes nearly impossible.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-watch-the-full-interview-now\">Watch the full interview now<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve placed the full <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=To_P3WdeAVo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">25-minute interview on YouTube<\/a><\/strong>, where Eric and I break down:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How GLP-1 drugs trick your body into losing weight<\/li>\n<li>The shocking long-term risks (that nobody talks about)<\/li>\n<li>Why WILDFIT can naturally trigger the same response\u2014without the need for medication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Or, if you prefer reading, here\u2019s the summarized transcript of our conversation:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-interview-vishen-lakhiani-amp-eric-edmeades-on-wildfit-vs-glp-1-medications\">Interview: Vishen Lakhiani &amp; Eric Edmeades on WILDFIT vs. GLP-1 medications<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Vishen Lakhiani:<\/strong> Mindvalley members and aspiring members, today\u2019s conversation is a game-changer. We\u2019re in a world where people are jumping onto medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro to manage their weight. But at Mindvalley, we believe there\u2019s a better way. That\u2019s why I\u2019m speaking with Eric Edmeades, founder of WILDFIT, a program that\u2019s transformed over 150,000 lives over the past nine years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Vishen: Eric, I want to dive right into it. These GLP-1 drugs are everywhere, but you say they\u2019re unnecessary. Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eric Edmeades:<\/strong> Simply put, we can trick the body into thinking it\u2019s already taking one of these medications\u2014without the actual drug. GLP-1 medications work by making you feel full, but they\u2019re essentially tricking your body into thinking it\u2019s nourished. The good news? We can achieve the same biochemical response naturally with the right nutrition and metabolic approach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Vishen: That\u2019s fascinating. But let\u2019s take a step back\u2014what exactly is a GLP-1?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eric:<\/strong> GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1. It\u2019s a natural peptide your body produces when you eat certain foods, signaling that you\u2019re full. These drugs are synthetic versions of that peptide. It\u2019s like tanning in the sun versus using a tanning bed\u2014one is natural and beneficial, while the other is an artificial substitute with potential side effects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Vishen: So let\u2019s talk about those downsides.<\/strong> A lot of people are saying GLP-1 is working for them, but they\u2019re also paying somewhere around $11,000 a year. That\u2019s the average price in the U.S., right? But then there are all of these side effects, and, like many pharmaceuticals, these drugs are designed to be taken for life. What are some of the side effects here?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eric:<\/strong> First, they don\u2019t just reduce fat\u2014they reduce overall body mass, including muscle and bone density. That\u2019s a major issue because muscle mass is directly linked to longevity and healthspan.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the immediate side effects: nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, and a total loss of interest in food. That last one may sound like a dream for someone struggling with cravings, but it\u2019s actually a nightmare. GLP-1 drugs suppress nutritional hunger but do nothing for emotional hunger. People still reach for comfort foods, but now they\u2019re eating even less of the nutrient-dense foods their body actually needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Vishen: That\u2019s scary. But are there psychological side effects as well? You speak so much about how food is psychology in WILDFIT.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eric:<\/strong> Absolutely. These drugs weaken your willpower. When you artificially suppress your cravings, you don\u2019t build the executive function necessary to manage food choices. And here\u2019s the kicker: The part of the brain that controls willpower for food also controls willpower for everything else\u2014exercise, productivity, relationships. So, as willpower weakens, does your ability to make strong decisions in other areas of life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Vishen: That\u2019s scary. And what about long-term side effects?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eric:<\/strong> It\u2019s funny\u2014there is a lot of focus on short-term side effects because people tend to think short-term. But there are now studies suggesting increased risks of thyroid cancer, pancreatic issues, and severe muscle loss. Muscle mass is directly correlated with healthspan and longevity\u2014so if you\u2019re losing muscle, you\u2019re essentially accelerating aging. Anything that threatens your muscle mass is something to think about twice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Vishen: And a lot of people who take these drugs seem to get stuck.<\/strong> They have to keep taking them, it\u2019s expensive, and then they have long-term side effects. Why do people seem unable to stop taking them?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eric:<\/strong> Think about it this way\u2014when you take a drug that artificially suppresses your appetite, you don\u2019t have to exercise any willpower. Your executive function gets weaker. When people stop the drug, their appetite seems to come back stronger. But it\u2019s not that the cravings have intensified\u2014their ability to resist has weakened.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Vishen: So if we decide not to go down the GLP-1 path, how do we activate the same quality in our body naturally?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eric:<\/strong> GLP-1 is a synthetic mimic of a peptide we already make when we eat certain foods. If we prioritize those foods, our body produces the same response\u2014without the need for an injection. Nutrient-dense foods, healthy fats, and proteins trigger this naturally. On the other hand, processed foods and sugar do the opposite and make you hungrier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Vishen: You also mentioned the concept of timing your meals and breaking free from processed food. How are these related?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eric:<\/strong> Most of the food in grocery stores today is designed for profitability, not nutrition. It\u2019s nutritionally empty and full of addictive substances that stimulate appetite. But there\u2019s also a timing issue\u2014ancestral food patterns show that our bodies aren\u2019t designed to eat first thing in the morning or snack late at night. If we align our eating patterns with how our metabolism evolved, we can achieve better health and natural appetite regulation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Vishen: So, final question for you, Eric. What would you say to someone who\u2019s thinking about taking GLP-1 right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eric:<\/strong> If you haven\u2019t started yet, I\u2019d strongly recommend going through WILDFIT first. By week six or seven, you\u2019ll have triggered the same response in your body naturally, and you won\u2019t need the drug. If you\u2019re already on it, speak to your doctor about slowly weaning off while implementing WILDFIT principles. We\u2019ll help you through that process so you can regain control without being dependent on the medication.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Vishen: That makes absolute sense. Before committing to something with such radical side effects, high costs, and long-term risks, people should try something like WILDFIT first.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, the kickoff class for WILDFIT is happening shortly. All you have to do is sign up using your Mindvalley membership. Again, it\u2019s a 90-day program. Commit to doing it now. WILDFIT won\u2019t disrupt your schedule\u2014it will actually enhance your mental clarity, focus, and sleep. The results start happening before the end of the first month.<\/p>\n<p>Eric, this has been eye-opening. Thank you for comparing Ozempic and GLP-1s with WILDFIT\u2014I\u2019ve learned so much from this conversation.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>So, as you can see, GLP-1 medications are not as innocent as they are made out to be.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But what if I told you there\u2019s a natural, more effective way to achieve the same results\u2014without the injections, the side effects, or the cost?<\/p>\n<p>This is why <strong>we\u2019re bringing WILDFIT to every Mindvalley member for free.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-wildfit-is-now-part-of-your-mindvalley-membership\">Why WILDFIT is now part of your Mindvalley membership<\/h2>\n<p>When we first launched WILDFIT, it was a game-changer.

Later, we brought the price down to $800 when we reached 150,000 WILDFIT graduates, making it more accessible.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we\u2019re taking things one step further.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WILDFIT is now INCLUDED in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/membership?utm_source=blog&amp;otag=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mindvalley Membership<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That means instead of paying $800\u2014or spending over $11,000 a year on GLP-1 drugs\u2014you can start right now, for free, as part of your membership.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not a Mindvalley member yet, the cost of joining is a fraction of what one month of GLP-1 drugs would cost.
