What this video covers
- Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could eat whatever you wanted and then just take a medicine once a week and lose weight? Novo Nordisk, who’s one of the largest insulin manufacturers in the world just issued this press release. The first and only once-weekly GLP-1 therapy for weight management approved in the United States. This really couldn’t come at a better time for most people since over 42% of adults in the United States meet the criteria for being obese or morbidly obese.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- The first and only once-weekly GLP-1 therapy for weight management approved in the United States.
- So the trial that was used to get FDA approval for this of semaglutide was a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial in humans.
- 15, 16, 17% of their body weight from the start of the trial until the end of the trial, which just looking at it in this graph, looks pretty amazing.
- My first worry or problem with this study comes, if you look at the last eight weeks of the study between week 60 and 68 over on the right-hand side, you can see that the semaglutide group actually gained a little weight.
- I predict that what we’ll see in real life, as doctors and patients interact and use this medication that’s now FDA approved are predictable.
- Black box warnings are the most serious warning that the FDA requires to be put on medication.
