In 2017 two respected Danish Scientists claimed that higher dosages of the GLP1 Semaglutide, which had been planned as a treatment for Obesity, were not supported by the Clinical trials. I look at the timing of this article and their controversial statement. I search for the missing Phase II Ozempic Clinical trials and take a look at the Phase III Ozempic Trials on Diabetics and question the small amount of weight loss found alongside the large number of side effects. I also chat to Kevin about his surprising Mounjaro weight loss journey.

This week we look backwards in time in order to move forwards. We check out the first GLP1 drugs and take a longer look at Liraglutide which is a GLP1 found in Victoza (diabetes) and Saxenda (weightloss). We also chat to Lorrie and talk in depth about her journey on Saxenda and why she ended up choosing it over Ozempic.
Lorrie faced many challenges on her journey and I highlight three of the main ones that usually anyone faces when first going on a GLP1 medicine for weight loss. We also take a look at the lawsuits currently underway in the USA over Saxenda and how Novo Nordisk has had to pay out millions of dollars to settle, plus we take a look at the numerous lawsuits claiming gastrointestinal issues and is there any link between them and the clinical trials?

Diary of a CEO
This week I look at the previous and present CEO's of Novo Nordisk and examine their different passion projects and attitudes towards weight loss drugs. I ask the question why didn't the previous CEO push the button on the Wegovy clinical trials after many of the Ozempic clinical trials had been completed? What made him hesitate... and more importantly why did the new CEO make initiating those trials one of his first big decisions?
I look at how CEO's are paid worldwide and how Company Shares can be a larger source of income than their multi million dollar salaries. I look at the conflict of interest that often comes with awarding incentives and bonuses.
I chat with Dave Ahern from Investing for Beginners Podcast about Novo Nordisk and the meteoric rise of their share price and how Ozempic and Wegovy have driven that.

Welcome to Investigating Ozempic.
To see the fully formed picture of the new weight loss drugs I've had to dig deep. Years of research and interviews with scientists and health professionals. This is no junior jigsaw puzzle - it's a pretty tricky one - so get on board!
This week we follow the twists... and turn over three major puzzle pieces of the hidden picture to reveal the truth behind the new weight loss drugs. We look at Government Regulators, Drug Companies and the Worldwide Obesity Epidemic.
We ask the Question: Is this potentially the Perfect Storm - Because we have never had these three events coincide before.
Is it a small rain shower or a Stage 5 hurricane? - it's anyone's guess.
Plus we take a look at what to expect from the Podcast.
Episodes will drop weekly approximately.

INVESTIGATING OZEMPIC
I want to tell you how this whole whole thing started. I was in the process of writing my fifth book, researching and writing about the new weight loss drugs - in particular Ozempic and Wegovy. I was reading clinical trials and medical reports. but the further I looked the more there was to see and what I found often wasn't pretty.
Plus I couldn't believe people were not even talking about these issues...like at all. I realised pretty quickly that no one knew the full story.
I reached out to scientists, Government regulators worldwide and medical professionals to confirm what I'd found. I applied for documents through freedom of information.
We're going to start at the beginning of my journey and tell you exactly what I've found and what I think it means. We're going to attach all of the documents so you can have a look too. I'm also issuing an open invitation to the manufacturer Novo Nordisk to answer my many emails which as yet have received no answer.
If you're thinking of taking these new weight loss drugs or possibly you already are you might want to have a listen. I'm going to drop episodes weekly until all of the jigsaw pieces fall into place for you, and you too can see the totally shocking picture.
Follow our podcast called Investigating Ozempic which will be COMING SOON.
We look forward to you joining us. SUBSCRIBE to follow.
