Leading doctor, Dr Mark Hyman, warns of deadly unforeseen side effects of Ozempic: 'It raises your risk 900 PERCENT' on The Diary of a CEO podcast.

Having piled on the pounds during lockdown, Johann decided to take weight-loss drugs and write a book about the industry and its risks. It left him with a major dilemmaIn the winter of 2022, the global pandemic seemed to be finally receding, so for the first time in two years I went to a party in London . I felt schlubby and slightly self-conscious, because I had hit 14 stone since the world shut down.

My dad has had serious heart problems that required surgery, and my uncle died of them. The science is clear that obesity makes it significantly more likely you will get heart disease, diabetes, cancer and dementia. It is, by some calculations, the biggest preventable cause of death.

As I sat there reading the newspapers, the food was placed in front of me and I looked at it. I felt like I was looking at a block of wood. I managed four bites and couldn’t eat any more. It felt like the shutters had come down on my appetite and now only tiny peeks of light could get through. I was about 80 per cent less hungry than I normally am, and went from eating 3,200 calories a day to around 1,800.

The evidence emerging from this research seems to be that both drugs and surgery are moving people in the same direction: one study found that they reduce risk of a heart attack or stroke by 20 per cent. I kept thinking of my grandfather and continued to jab myself. The weight was falling away so easily, it felt almost like magic.

Jean-Luc Faillie is a professor of medical pharmacology and toxicology at the University Hospital of Montpellier. He explained to me that France has one of the largest medical databases in the world, so they went back and analysed the data for all the patients with type 2 diabetes who had taken these drugs for one to three years between 2006 and 2018. They then compared those patients to a sample of diabetics who had not taken them.

Some of my friends kept asking me: why not choose the less risky third option, of losing weight by dieting and exercising instead? We all know people for whom this has worked. But when I looked at the science, I learned that the truth is they are a small minority.Professor Traci Mann at the University of Minnesota has carried out some of the most detailed research into diets and found that, after two years of starting a diet, you will, on average, weigh two pounds less than you did at the start.
