Interviewer: Can you tell us how your product is different from other weight loss products?
Dr. Todd Schafer: Certainly. Certainly, I can do that. First of all, you might ask why
would a podiatrist, that is what I do, be interested in a weight loss product. Have
you been thinking about that?
Interviewer: Yes, yes.
Dr. Todd Schafer: I thought you might. So, believe it or not, a lot of foot problems
are caused by people who are overweight. People come in to my office and they will say something
like, "Gee doc, my heels hurt," and you know, they are like 100 pounds overweight and I
kind of tell them in a nice way that, you know, all that extra weight going through
your foot, at times the amount of steps that people take in a normal day just is not a
good thing.
Interviewer: Uh-um, uh-um.
Dr. Todd Schafer: Yes. So, obviously, weight loss becomes important and that is kind of
how I got interested in this particular product.
Interviewer: Very good, very good. Can you also tell us what is the dosage amount of
this product?
Dr. Todd Schafer: Well, there is no set dosage amount, but what is recommended because this
is not, you know, that is kind of the other important thing about this particular product,
it is not chemically based. There is nothing, but actually it comes from some pumpkin-like
plant in Southeast Asia. So, you cannot really overdose on it but the recommended dosage
is 1000 mg a day and you can take that in like two 500-mg capsules, so twice a day.
Interviewer: I see. Any side effects that the user should know about?
Dr. Todd Schafer: Well, I have read that some people with diabetes and Alzheimer's have
a problem with this product. Diabetes is probably the more important one because Alzheimer's
people are not really going to care if they are overweight so much as someone with diabetes
that becomes actually kind of important with diabetes. So, someone who is diabetic probably
should not take this product.
Interviewer: Okay. Well, thank you so much. We really appreciate your time and we are
looking forward to seeing how this product works.
Dr. Todd Schafer: Well, I just want to mention, first of all, you can get the product there
right underneath my name. It is on Amazon, so it is a merchant you can trust. I just
want to comment briefly on the difference between this product and other weight loss
products.
Interviewer: Okay.
Dr. Todd Schafer: The important thing is that Garcinia Cambogia does not rely on, I do not
know if you remember a couple of years ago, maybe about 10 to 15 years ago, they had those
products out that were kind of like ephedrine-based that were kind of based on revving up your
metabolism so that you would burn fat more quickly.
Interviewer: Yes.
Dr. Todd Schafer: Do you remember that?
Interviewer: A stimulant.
Dr. Todd Schafer: Exactly. The problem with those was people had kind of jitters, you
know, after taking them and they did not really feel very good. It was not a good feeling.
The cool thing about this particular product is that it does not rely on ramping up your
metabolism at all. What it does is it blocks the pathway in your liver where the excess
glucose from your food is turned into fat. It blocks that pathway that is why this whole
particular brand line is called Pathway Fixers. It fixes the pathway where nature kind of
converts that glucose to fat. This product is going to block that pathway and turn on
the pathway that turns glucose directly into energy. So, you are kind of getting the best
of both worlds -- you are blocking the pathway where it turns into fat. When I say turns
into fat, I mean like adipose tissue, that is the tissue that swells up with fat and
that what makes the soft fat around the middle and things to that nature. And so, that blocks
tha t pathway but it turns on the pathway where
you can actually make some good out of this glucose and turn it into energy. You can use
a little bit more energy every day, right?
Interviewer: Definitely, definitely.
Dr. Todd Schafer: Absolutely. And then the other aspect of it, it is kind of a two-pronged
approach. It also has a strong appetite suppressant aspect to it. Not many diet pills have that
combination.
Interviewer: That is excellent. I know a lot of weight loss products, there is some sort
of stimulant in there. I have seen a few people, actually a close relative of mine, and it
was very scary because her heart rate got up to about 200 beats per minute and that
is something else.
Dr. Todd Schafer: Wow!
Interviewer: Yes. So that is a relief that this is non-stimulant-based, dosage seems
to be okay on this, so that is a relief, you know, in the weight loss world, so very good.
What else? Are there any other comments you have in there?
Dr. Todd Schafer: No. This is the actual bottle right here. It is just capsules, like I said,
500 mg twice a day, and people are losing weight with this. And it was kind of touted
by Dr. Oz. He is kind of like the celebrity person behind this. Have you heard of Dr.
Oz?
Interviewer: Yes, definitely.
Dr. Todd Schafer: So, it was kind of like Suzanne Somers was promoting the ThighMaster
many years ago.
Interviewer: Yes, yes.
Dr. Todd Schafer: Always hope there is celebrity endorsement. Believe it or not, they do not
consider me to be a celebrity.
Interviewer: (Laughs).
Dr. Todd Schafer: I know that is hard to believe. But anyway, that is kind of the way the product
works. Again, as I say, it can be purchased right here and we have a money back guarantee
on that like most products in Amazon and so there is no risk to you.
Interviewer: Great, great and a little more question right now, how long would you recommend
the user to be on this before they start seeing some decent results?
Dr. Todd Schafer: I would say think about somewhere in the two weeks to a month timeframe.
Interviewer: Okay.
Dr. Todd Schafer: And it is not a thing where you can be losing a ton of weight because
that is actually not healthy to lose a lot of weight in a short period of time. You want
it gradual.
Interviewer: Right.
Dr. Todd Schafer: And so people are noticing maybe 3 to 5 pounds a month, so it is not
going to be drastic, but the good part about this is you are going to be actually losing
fat not just water, you know, water loss.
Interviewer: That is great. Well, thank you so much for your time.
Dr. Todd Schafer: Alright.
Interviewer: We look forward to your product. We will check it out on Amazon, and I appreciate
it.
Dr. Todd Schafer: Alright. Thank you, George.
Interviewer: You're welcome. Bye.
Dr. Todd Schafer: Bye.
