How Ozempic And Wegovy Accidentally Made Novo Nordisk A $400B Company

- Pharmaceutical giant, Novo Nordisk, is now Europe’s most valuable company, worth more than its home country, Denmark’s total economy. That wasn’t always the case, and only recently, through its popular diabetes and weight-loss drugs, Ozempic and Wegovy, is it witnessing unprecedented financial success. For a century, the company predominantly focused on insulin and treating those with Type 2 diabetes. In its 2023 second quarter, the company reported a 46% increase in net profits and a 32% increase in sales compared to the same quarter the year prior. Alongside competitors like Eli Lilly the company is hoping to help treat the 1 billion people worldwide who are affected by obesity and hence transform a largely untapped market.

How Ozempic And Wegovy Accidentally Made Novo Nordisk A $400B Company
A band aid for the terrible practices of the food industry
But they still want you to eat badly.
And a band aid for poor decision making and laziness.
Being a healthy weight is a CHOICE people.
@@black4vcobra , not in the US.
@roxannem.5745 oh because non-processed, whole foods aren't available for you?
We just had chicken breast, broccoli and brown rice for dinner last night. Scrambled eggs and sausage for breakfast this morning.
You can't make meals like that happen? Of course you can.
I ran 1.5 miles, did squats and did 20 minutes on an elliptical last night. Can you do that? Of course you can if you want.
Stop making excuses.
@@black4vcobra when you build a society that tricks them into making bad decisions you’re not helping and force them to reconsider whatever they’re eating until they completely isolate themselves from the society is wrong. I eat what I feel like eating in Sweden without the fear of getting tricked by persuasion and mass adoption of chemicals
I’m not against a drug coming out and resolving everyone’s weight issue. However, this seem like a situation of a quick fix with unknown long term effects. Something tells me regular Ozempic use will be responsible for a lot of health complications in a few years or decades
And what is that thing?
Destorys the pancrease
The thing is: being overweight in itself has health complications!
You think ozempic can do more damage than morbid obesity can?
@@trueseeker262 in some lab rats, not necessarily in hunan beings. And then you have to take into account that obesity also has a high number of diseases. The risk of using the drug are much less than the risks of obesity.
Type II diabetes. I’ve been on it for a few weeks. Sure I’m losing weight but most importantly my A1C is going down.
That’s good
Nope. America loves to sell you a SYMPTOM manager rather than addressing the overwhelmingly objective psychological issues linked to binge eating. 😢😢😢 peace to those struggling.
Ya, it's treating the symptoms not the core problem.
I am bipolar type 2, I am on heavy psych meds that slow your system which is well known and one of the biggest problems in mental healthcare. Many patients stop taking the meds and suffer due to the weight gain. I have now lost 70 lbs that I gained from the anti-psychotics. I want to preface I eat well and workout and had been bodybuilding for over 3 years before going on Wegovy. Now- I’ve reversed some of my health conditions, I have zero desire for doing anything impulsive (this is a huge aspect of bipolar). I don’t spend money like I used to. I don’t have the hypomania anymore. Changed my life.
The truth is, you’re going to have to weigh the pros and cons, the cons for me were to get worse mentally and potentially damage society around me including myself or take the drug and deal
I even have a healthy relationship now. I couldn’t imagine this before.
Good for you! I rx these meds, and feel terrible that there are few options that actually work. Some will rx metformin but its limited in efficacy for many patients. Most of the new drugs with less weight gain are too expensive (outside latuda which is now generic). In 10 years we wont need meds like ozempic as much for weight loss, but i think for the next decade it should be considered more - though yes the psychiatric side effects are concerning - the side effects of 70lb of weight gain also matter. Best of luck!
I can already see the lawyer ads in the future when these drugs cause some form of cancer/illness in the long term…. Nothing beats exercise/proper diet.
Does ozempic beat eating poorly and not exercising?
Taking drugs to get slim, what could go wrong. I mean nothing has gone wrong in the past, this time its different I suppose.🤣
The prices of Western medicines alone can make me lose weight fast. 😅
Prices will go down over the next couple of years starting already in Q2 2024. Remember that Novo Nordisk happy problem right now is that the demand is much higher than the supply and that's what's driving the price up. But they are expanding their production capacity fast and prices will come down.
This is a very nice video explanation - thanks
This reads like an AD. They mention "other" similar drugs have massive side effects but never cover any of GLP-1s known issues. Such as muscles wasting, intestinal paralysis, pancreatitis, thyroid cancer, & osteoporosis promoting bone thinning. And those are just the short term risks we have data on so far.
It reads like an AD because it is. If MSM didn't have pHARMa advertising dollars, they wouldn't have any.
I've heard people talk about how it makes them feel so nauseous they can't even eat, and starving yourself certainly isn't helping anything, and can lead to worse issues. When I heard celebrities talk about it over a year ago, it sounded too good to be true, and that seems to be the case. Then again, most things overlook side effects. My doctor didn't believe me when I said Advil gave me migraines because the side effects of such of a popular drug aren't mentioned.
As someone who is on this drug and lost my first 100 pounds without it, I want to describe my experience. It makes weight loss feel like weight gain. Weight gain is something that happens overtime and something you do not actively notice. Over time you gain weight and suddenly at 27 I was almost 500 pounds. I focus on my eating and exercise and the drug helps me by taking care of any hunger feeling. No it doesn’t make weight loss easy. I don’t lose weight if I do not pay attention to me eating. It’s not a miracle drug in a way that makes you lose weight for no reason, but that it actively helps your body lose weight.
Out of curiosity. Did you ever try a program with a clinical psychologist before jumping into these drugs? All the best in your journey
@@martiruda yes which is largely why the drug has been so successful for me. I dealt with and continue to deal with my issues regarding overeating and other mental health struggles. I do my part and eat when I’m hungry. Try to recognize the difference between hunger and impulse. I work out 3 days a week and my weight loss takes care of itself. If I don’t take care of those things, I don’t lose the weight.
Or you could just exercise and eat less.
@@The1JBankssomeone had to say it. This big pharma companies have you idiots hooked.
@@The1JBanks Which I do and that’s how I lost my first 100 pounds without Wegovy and the last 50 pounds with Wegovy. Maybe spend less time on your health “advice” and learn to read a bit.
Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending.
In 20 years we'll be watching a documentary about the crisis of people who took Ozempic and ruined their lives
Wanna bet?
@@spacetoast7783 take some extra pills goy 😂
@@spacetoast7783yup
Probably could have that documentary filmed now with all the people whose health has been ruined by ozempic. It literally cannibalizes your muscle tissue. Look up ozempic face.
It was developed almost 20 years ago (2004).
“Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.”
I think the company CEO said it best, that the main reason for obesity is how we live.
I have had to work on losing weight several times in my life. The weight is so easy to gain, but not so easy to lose.
There is nothing wrong with a little comfort food, but we need more healthy food options.
Isn't health food ultimately more comforting?
Surely we need more restaurants, that consider health, as well as flavor, and fewer pharmaceutical companies.
Imagine how far $1,300 a month on healthy food would go?
You're assuming everyone who has weight problems don't eat healthy. You'd be incorrect
@@lindaward3156 No I am not. I only assume (from empirical evidence) that most people don't eat healthy.
In a 5 mile radius of where I live, I can think of no end of restaurants that sell 95% "comfort food", while I really can't think of one that focuses on mainly healthy food.
I am only advocating for a greater investment in the availability of healthy food.
I know there are many complicated factors, when it comes to weight.
If anyone can benefit from taking Ozempic, then by all means do so.
But first things first.
There just is no "magic bullet" when it comes to health.
@@danschoenharl3856 Oh, I'm not sure about nearly any pharmaceutical, I'm skeptical about most, I feel we over drug ourselves, its your assumption that overweight people don't eat healthy and that's their problem. You know what is said about assume, riht? And you must live in an area unlike own. Of course we have a McDonald's and some other like places but nothing close in your example - and lots of better fair, often using locally sourced foods. It's too bad you're area is so nutritionally so bereft, must be disheartening
@@lindaward3156 It's not about weight. It's about nutrition and adequate exercise.
I live in a typical larger American city. It's should be no more disheartening for me than anyone else.
Still the only reliable source of real, whole food, that I have access to, is the stuff I prepare myself. (This could be a part-time/or full-time job.)
I grew up poisoned, like most Americans, by over-processed, sugar-laden, prepared foods and a never ending array of fast comfort foods. I only wish there was fast-healthy food available for purchase, over the drug "du jour".
If you are eating healthy, then don't worry about the weight.
Most people with weight problems don't eat enough or have bad habits.
If you don't intake enough calories, the body adjusts and becomes more efficient with its intake. Then when you start eating more calories again, the weight comes back because the body is in starvation mode.
If you eat mostly carbs, that tends to increase fat. There is a lot of argument on what is healthy. I think it's 40% protein, 40% fat, and 20% carbs from vegetables. That's roughly equivalent to a whole roast chicken, and one of those ready-made salad bags that contains 4 servings.
If you eat many times in the day, the body runs solely on carbs instead of using fat reserves.
The body needs vigorous exercise at least twice weekly. A vigorous exercise is getting your heart rate up to 80% of your maximum for your age. Then resting until your heart rate is back down to resting. Then repeat 5 or so more times.
Great product you have to take it indefinetly...
Cut the carbs. I didn't say ZERO carbs... just quit stuffing your face with excessive amounts. You'd be surprised how many you may be drinking alone. I dropped 70 pounds in 3 months with no exercising and no drugs. Intermittent fasting with less carbs is the secret. Thank you Dr. Eric Berg!!!
This feels like a plug for ozempic
The impacts this will have are undeniable and far reaching.
Dude. Every video is an ad. 😅
As an American myself, the only thing that’ll solve our obesity crisis is when there’s no longer a “body positivity” movement and people accept that there’s no such thing as fat but healthy.
The body positivity movement is a tiny minority. Most people who are overweight, myself included, know full well that extra fat is unhealthy. I’m going to wait to see whether this off-label drug is worth the hype. If there’s a non-stimulant that can help my control my impulses, I’m open to taking it.
when did the body positivity movement began in the US? what about high obesity rates?? I'm sure Americans were eating junk frequently way before the movement started a few years ago!
In my country, being super skinny is frowned upon, it is associated with being stressed, not contented with life, being broke, sick etc. People here assume people with 'meat'/not skinny are happy, healthy, content, financially well-off....Men with big stomachs are even respected in the community! LOL .Yet, obesity rates are low here. Why? Since we are a 3rd world Sub-Saharan African country, majority eat whole foods directly from the farm most of the times. They can't afford processed Western foods. Meat is also expensive and eaten rarely by low-income and low Middle class. But I was shocked to hear that healthy foods are more expensive than junk foods in the US. That's crazy, how? why?
I would definitely recommend people who are obese to talk to their doctors and consider starting this medication. Not only has it done wonders for reducing obesity, but the medication may even provide significant cardiovascular benefits.
Good quality video. Continue with the brilliant work
Except they don't list all the negatives? Ozempic is one of the worst drugs for people to take
@@tonygreif4931 Explain
There is some hidden agenda in every CNBC video. I learned from a undercover YT channel.
The early history was interesting as Denmark had a huge pork industry so there were lots of pig increases they could use to extract insulin. Decades later when human insulin was genetically engineered into yeast ( the Americans used Bacteria- both work) NN was able to recruit many skilled people from the brewing industry, the Danes have been famous for the quality of their beer for centuries. The industrial processes are very similar.
I was born in the 1960s which is the decade adjacent to highway buildout beginning in 1955. Obesity immediately followed. Pretty sure the corollation houses a causation there becausw simultaneously we freighted our passenger rails and then decommissioned the vast majority of them. Double exponential effects from corollative factors. Ipso facto, Occam. It is probably related.
McDonald's took off in that time period too.
I'd say, keep this drug for the people who really need it and who's benefits outway the risks. People with diabetes and people who are morbidly obese. If you just need to lose a few pounds, stick with good ol' diet and exercise.
i think that it is important to have more public studies conducted on this drug, particularly in regards to its long-term effects. It is crucial that we have a comprehensive understanding of the potential risks and benefits associated with its usage in order to make informed decisions about its use.
Are you aware that GLP 1 receptor agonists have been in use for 19 years ?irrespective of new indications, the molecule is still the same. This particular one has been used and studied for many years. Similar to RNA therapy , It is just now that lay people are now aware of it, because of the publicity and celebrity behind it.
I can see one being "you'll never be hungry ever again "
Why would you want to take a drug to counter the bad decisions you're making with food? Why not correct the problem at the source (eating better)?
Go to the grocery store.
Buy quality foods (not processed junk).
Learn to make a handful of tasty, filling meals.
Don't eat food that arrived through your car window.
Don't eat food that arrived on your doorstep.
Don't eat in a restaurant if the reason is simply convenience or "I don't feel like cooking tonight."
Get up and MOVE. Lift weights. Stretch. Run (or walk).
Follow those guidelines, and you'll naturally be fit. (You'll also likely have quite a bit more money as a side benefit.)
They are going to make a fortune. They need to make this as expensive as possible until patents run out.
Taking drugs to get slim, what could go wrong. I mean nothing has gone wrong in the past, this time its different I suppose.🤣
Or we can just eat less calories and less overly processed junk food.
LOL. CNBC is such a joke.
Absolute miracle drug -65lbs so far 😊personally!
How old are you and how long have you been taking it and do you work out also?
good luck with the unknown long term side effects

@@TommyVercettiCB7 29, about 9 months, walking more know because it is easier and I don’t get winded like I used to not not really.
Using drugs for reducing weight.....bad idea. Its not natural and even way more dangerous. Fasting, exercise, eat healthy food, walking or cycling
Cool, then let's raise the law suit damage amount.
People are having amazing results. My sister who is now 29 was fat like 60 to 80 pounds overweight since childhood and could not lose it until Wegovy. She landed a great job because she is an NP and has paid out of pocket but she finally has a life and looks drop dead gorgeous. Somethings are worth it. Most things are scams but this stuff works.
hopefully this drug has no long-term effects!
@@user-pe3tt7iu7g it might cause thyroid cancer but it’s still better than being a big fat pig
This is not going to end well for a lot of people. The drug was not designed to do this. People are exploiting a side effect, but are opening themselves up to a lot of other possible side effects due to the nature of the drug was designed to do. Losing a bunch of weight while having a lifetime of digestive and colon issues hardly seems worth it.
The long term side effects haven't been studied in detail as yet. People are opting for short term solutions.
@kardez4794 Ozempic has been used and studied since 2012 as a diabetes drug. Its side effects are well known. You cannot get an effect without risking some side effects, which is why these drugs are not for everyone and are prescription only.
Btw, they are not side effects but mechanism of action. GLP1 are working by slowing emptying of stomach, that’s why people feel full. Also by centrally reducing cravings. Side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,..etc. No one use’s Semaglutide to have diarrhea.
People exploit side effects of drugs all the time. Minoxidil is not designed for hair growth. Beta blockers are used for migraines and anxiety.
That's crazy how people make themselves diabetic by eating carbs and than want to become healthy without altering their diet.
The fact that type 2 diabetes is just considered an untapped market is sad. It's more than just dollar signs.
I guess they should just be left to rot.
It is … outside of the US.
In US your health and your life have a price - if you want to live, you will have to pay for it. Oftentimes with your freedom.

@@wale7342they could 5x the price and still sell as much as they produce.
Not really. The cost of these drugs are like $10K - $15K a year, not to mention you can achieve similar result by reducing food intake and exercise, which is what the drug does, by telling the brain to not to eat so much. it's not a miracle that just take away body fat, it's not magic. If a costly drug is a solution to obesity, then you may as well say an universal income of $15K a year could solve a lot of poverty which it can as well. it's great if people can afford it but most people can't. Medically speaking, there is very small demand for it, a large part of the demand is from those who aren't obese and taking it for appearance.
How much of that weight loss is fat? What´s the proportion of loss on muscle, fat and bone density? Answer these questions and we can start a conversation.
Studies show a significant decrease in muscle and bone density.... That's concerning to me.
Overall weight loss but much of it is needed tissues for longevity??? No thanks.
The answer is no… especially with side effects.
Not eating the standard American diet can solve the obesity problem.
This report at the same time the side effects of these drugs are just coming to light? Many people are going to find out that the temporary weight loss wasn't worth it.
Canadians Banting and Best, who invented insulin, did not patent it so it would be cheap and accessible for all sufferers. So this Danish company gets a free drug to start with but is charging the world for its patent drug. How little we learn.
Let's see the dependency documentary in 5 years
You know what would solve America’s obesity problem? If people stopped eating so much and so poorly, and went to the gym.
Semaglutide is a wonderful drug that helps mitigate the issues associated with type II diabetes. The problem is that many people are taking it for non type II diabetes reasons, which is creating a shortage for people that actually need it. All that it does with regards to losing weight is make you less hungry. This drug is being made more difficult to get for people that actually need it just because people are so lazy that instead of using self-control, they're just going to take drugs so that they don't eat as much.
Prices coming down with increased competition, is plain BS. Look at the insulin price history.
In Finland Ozempic is 50€/month ATM when covered. 110€ if not covered.
Insulin was patent protected until 2014. The option for generics did not open up until 2020. There was no competition in the US.
Generic insulin is dirt cheap in the US. WTF are you talking about?
@@KevinSmith-qi5yn - That is utter nonsense. The US have 3 big companies competing for insulin sales in the US, collectively having 90% of the market. Are you saying that 5+ different independent companies making insulin using their own patents, does not equal competition?
@@spacetoast7783 - Dirt cheap is plain wrong. Have you even done ANY research? A quick Google search easily debunks your utter ludicrous comment: A landmark study published by the RAND Corporation in 2020 analyzed the average price of several different forms of insulin (human, analog, rapid, rapid-intermediate, short, short-intermediate, intermediate, and long-acting) in 33 countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which includes most of the world's developed countries and high-income countries. The study revealed that the manufacturer price for any given type of insulin averaged five to ten times higher in the U.S. ($98.70 USD) than in all other OECD countries ($8.81 on average)

Obesity has been solved since humans have existed. Live a healthy lifestyle that includes eating healthier and exercising. Done.
No medicaid for this. As a taxpayer, I don't want to pay for Burger Lovers.
All i have to say is "No, thank you". I took this drug for months, and it made me very sick. I couldn't even look at food for fear of vomiting. The nausea was like morning sickness, absolutely horrible. Plus the cost and the fact that like most drugs must be taken for life or weight will return.

It's not meant to "solve obesity", it's meant to make money for the owners.
A drug that pacientes need to take for a long time is perfect for them
Solving obesity would mean addressing societal causes. Best we can do is growth economics.
This medicine is for very extreme cases it seems. Fear of food and digestive issues will make a person lose weight fast, but probably dangerous for slightly overweight people.
How’s that a bad thing?! If you are obese, then killing your cravings sounds awesome. You’re worried about those side effects?! Wait until diabetes eat your heart, kidneys, eyes,..etc. The weight would come back if you don’t learn during treatment how to develop healthy choice.
i think it's called you couldn't overeat like before. You know it's an appetite suppressant not a magic fat burner
It's a luxury for consumers to use these drugs as it easily cost USD1k per month.
For a better perspective, it's equivalent to buying an Apple I-phone monthly.
Unless, Medicare is willing to absorb them, even if they do for how long?
There's more than 10million in need of these drugs and it would be a burden on the government as well.
"Accidentally"?
Novo has been researching these things for literally a 100 years.
It would be so weird to have no obese people in America all of a sudden. I just hope there aren’t any health issues from that stuff. ❤

@@Lucas-gu7sj It would be weird if farmers and governments actually cared enough about the ground to start growing more good stuff rather than getting it all imported from places like Mexico, and people cared about the planet enough to keep things going.

Eat less, live more.
Well as a diabetic who can't get her Ozempic refilled I wish this would stop being prescribed for this type of thing OR/AND the darn company would up production!!
Be careful with ozempic, as it was shown to increase significantly the chances to produce cancer in the thyroid gland in a lab environment, let those who actually need it take it first and until then try to stick to diet and excercise, build muscle as it will help you reduce the amount of fat since muscle consumes energy even when in a passive state
Thin corpses.
There has actually been a meta study for semaglutide and thyroid cancer and there was no link found
I predict this drug will raise insurance rates for everyone by a huge amount. Insurance companies are spending $1000 per monthh for each insured person on the drug. Someone is going to pay for this. To "cure" obesity, we would have 100M people taking this drug. Who pays for that?
진짜 놀라운 부작용😮
They literally can make a pill for anything. I am concerned about recent studies that show weight loss in subjects is not fat, but fat and muscle as well. That would mean that your body fat percentage will not change, just your weight. So if you’re not also exercising you could just cause Sarcopenic obesity, sure your BMI looks great, but your body composition is totally out of proportion. The person looses weight, but is still just as unhealthy as before….
Why can't people simply eat less food? It's not rocket science.
I watch what I eat and it's really not that difficult.
@@TheBandit7613
It's easy to watch your food when you have a local ethnic grocer. Asian markets are the best for eating healthy. But Asian markets aren't everywhere. I'm quite lucky as there are 4, soon to be 6 Asian supermarkets within walking distance. But back when I was in college, there was only 1 good one, a 30 min drive away. All the beer certainly didn't help
This doesn’t happen if you keep eating lots of protein and doing regular resistance training.
Most people just want to look thin, they dont care that about the health implications lil bro.
Even normal dieting you’re going to lose some muscle if you’re not combining it with exercise.

Supposed to be taken indefinitely? That’s absurd.
Either take it indefinitely, or develop some good habits of your own.
Just because it's supposed to be taken indefinitely doesn't mean it's bad. A lot of drugs are supposed to be taken indefinitely for maintaining overall health, ie. eliquis for afib patients, losartan or lisinopril for patients with hypertension, etc... A new one for maintaining low weight in obese patients isn't a bad thing.

Here in America, ozempic is like $1200 dollars but because I had Diabeetus. Insurance gave it to me for free. It did work in curbing my appetite for a while but like all drugs I take. It slowly stopped working. the injection pen is super nice and simple. I do recommend it though.
Ozempic is a horrible drug. Don't recommend it to people
@tonygreif4931 okeedokee. How is it horrible? What experiences do you personally have to say It's horrible?
@@tonygreif4931 Ozempic is a great drug and would definitely recommend it, especially for obese patients with other cardiovascular issues.
No one “accidentally” makes 400 billion
No one makes $400Billion period they are mostly stocks
The video literally explains how they accidentally found the drug and how it's skyrocketed their stock even though they aren't selling much.

One solution is to make better mass transit and mixed use zones where Apartmens, Town Homes, Shops, Restaurants, and schools are together. It encourages walking over driving. It’s why countries that have those things
Don’t have obese people.
Crime is too high for me to walk (or even take public transit) and probably a lot of other Americans. Dodging panhandlers and thieves is not my ideal afternoon.
Our car dependent culture plus our screwed up farm subsidies are a recipe for disaster. It’s crazy that meat is cheaper than vegetables. That wouldn’t happen in a true free market.
Exercise barely moves the needle. A can of Coca Cola has enough calories for >4 miles or nearly an hour of jogging.
“Can insurance companies afford it?”😂😂😂😂
I think I would be more concerned about what they will say in 20 years about the covid shot than a drug that’s already been around for 20 years.
Drugs much more convenient than changing lifestyle.
There is definitely something wrong if 1B people have obesity and it costs 1300 a month to treat it.
We can train our bodies to stop hunger and cravings. But it takes time and efforts. Unfortunately, people prefer what is easier although it’s not our bodies nature. 😢
wow
WE EAT TOO MUCH FOR A BODY THAT CAN LAST MORE THAN A WEEK WITHOUT FOOD.
You do realise the average person can easily go 60 days without food ?
Look up 'Angus Barbieri', an obese guy that went 382 days without eating.
and the nice thing is: in social Denmark, society as a whole will also benefit from the billions through taxes.
No, because the appetite loss effect eventually wears off.
Irrespective of insulin, LVMH never displaced
However, they have priced it so immorally, that most need insurance to cover the cost; which, of course insurance will deny coverage. So this drug is only available those with the means to not need insurance to purchase the drug.
Whats immoral is that people starve to death in this world, while others shove so much food into their bodies they become obese. Then they are too lazy to make any lifestyle changes to their sedentary lifestyle they'd rather just have a drug company save them because exersize and eating right is too much work.
My insurance covers it, along with several other people I know. Though I realize that isn't the norm.
@@jeffs6090 Good for you! HMO or PPO or government coverage? Not a diabetic right? Much of this is also related directly to the employer plan regardless of insurer. HealthComp PPO via Blue Shield of California has denied me twice!
lol if you compare the price, its nothing compared when HIV medicine in early years.. you just died if u cant afford it because AIDS, no alternate medicine or remedies.. but this obese medicine, you have another option of medicine and another remedies like healty diet and exercise.. so relax
If you have a medical history of type 2 diabetes, insurance will cover it.
I've heard toddlers say those exact words the the same level of profundity.
The way we live? 18:30
More like the way corporations and capitalism have forced us to live. 🤦
Johnson & Johnson is punching air right now 😂😂😂
I might have missed it but did they say how this makes you loose weight ?
Does it just dents the hungry thought therefore you just fast ?
It vastly reduces your desire to eat, and your feeling of hunger.
Yes. They believe it affects the part of the brain that stimulates addiction (in this case, food cravings).
Consequently, I'm wondering if there is a possibility it may also be used against other addictions ?
