For adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms, every choice matters.
Tramfya offers self-injection or intravenous infusion from the start.
Tramfya is administered as injections under the skin or infusions through a vein every four weeks, followed by injections under the skin every four or eight weeks. If your doctor decides that you can self-inject Tramfya, proper training is required.

Serious allergic reactions, increased risk of infections or lower ability to fight them and liver problems may occur. Before treatment, get checked for infections and tuberculosis.

Take your training to the next level with AG1's new product, AG1 Pro. It's back and it's already sold out once, so get it now. AG1 Pro takes the original next-gen formula, the vitamins, minerals, adaptogens, pre and probiotics and more and packs in even more support for physical performance. It adds 5 grams of creovitalis, creatine monohydrate and HMB to reduce protein breakdown and support recovery. They've also added zinc carnosine for even more gut support. It's one drink, more effective and it's NSF certified for sport so you know exactly what's in it. The training is only half of it. Recovery is where the gains actually compound. AG1 Pro is built for both. Go to drinkag1.com/jre.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:11)
Cheers, good to see you, good to see you too.

**Joe DeRosa** (2:16)
I went through a whole, like a series of different coffee machines that I tried out. I tried out one of them that was like this little thing that's like a tea dipper almost, like for an individual cup of coffee. You put the grounds in this little thing. It's a little tiny press.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:33)
Okay.

**Joe DeRosa** (2:34)
You boil the water, put it in the coffee cup, and then you sit in there like it's tea, and then you press it. It makes like a French press.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:43)
Yeah. Yeah.

**Joe DeRosa** (2:44)
So then I went to an AeroPress. I like that one a lot.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:48)
What's an AeroPress?

**Joe DeRosa** (2:49)
I use that every day. So with an AeroPress, I boil the water, grind the beans, and then I pour it into this glass tube. The glass tube has a filter at the bottom of it, like a mesh, like a steel or an aluminum, some kind of metal mesh, and then that's what it looks like. And so you press down, and it makes a cup of coffee real quick.
And it's one cup, and so that's what I like. Because I was making coffee, like I was doing French press for a while. I had a coffee machine, but the issue is that you're not supposed to really be drinking out of hot plastic. All that shit's plastic.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:27)
There's plastic, the water goes into plastic, there's plastic here, there's plastic there.

**Joe DeRosa** (3:30)
I'm trying to eliminate as much plastic in my life as possibly, as I possibly can.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:35)
I'll tell you too, I a couple times in my adult life splurged on, you know, some fucking.

**Joe DeRosa** (3:44)
One of them Italian espresso machines? Yeah, yeah.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:47)
It grinds the beans every time you're gonna whet. Those fucking things go sideways on you in a year, and then you're like, I gotta get it fixed. And they're like, yeah, there's a shop, it's 90 minutes north of you, you drive the machine up there, you're just like, fuck this shit, man. So I went back, I just, I have an espresso, and you put the fucking pot in, and whatever, but.

**Joe DeRosa** (4:07)
There's a company that makes one, I should shout them out, that makes one that's all steel. I think it's called Simply Good Coffee.
I follow them on Instagram, I haven't used their machine, but that's all steel. It's an all steel coffee machine, which is what you want. But I've got it down to the AeroPress. The AeroPress, to me, very simple, the minimal amount of parts, it's just a tube, the grinds, the coffee tastes pure. It's simple, I make one cup of coffee a day.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:38)
Here is what I miss, because I will drink a lot of coffee if I'm able to. Here's what I miss about a traditional Mr. Coffee pot of coffee.
