Podcasts about Novo Nordisk

When pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk developed a new medication for type 2 diabetes, they noticed that a welcome side effect was a small amount of weight loss. They had no idea that their new diabetes medication was about to become a multibillion-dollar weight loss drug. But they had no sooner launched this game-changing drug, then competitors swooped in to knock Novo Nordisk off its throne.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked. Today, we are diving into the latest news and updates on Ozempic, a drug reshaping how we think about weight loss, health, and lifestyle.In the past year, millions of people have turned to Ozempic, part of a group of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists. Originally created to manage blood sugar for people with type 2 diabetes, Ozempic's appetite-suppressing effects have made it a sought-after tool for weight management. According to the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, these medications were developed from a compound first found in the saliva of the Gila monster lizard. It is amazing to think that a hormone from a desert reptile is now changing lives in clinics around the world.One of the most important updates is accessibility. The White House recently announced a deal with drug makers Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to cut prices for Ozempic and related drugs. The average monthly cost, once more than one thousand dollars, could now be as low as fifty to three hundred fifty dollars a month, depending on your insurance. Kim Fisher of the UC Davis Innovation Institute for Food and Health says around one in eight adults in the United States—about forty-one million people—have already used GLP-1 drugs. Lower prices open the door for many more people to take advantage of these treatments.For listeners looking for alternatives to injections, there is more good news. Novo Nordisk recently released results from a study on an oral pill version of Ozempic's sister drug, Wegovy. The New England Journal of Medicine reports that this once-daily pill resulted in an average weight loss of sixteen point six percent—almost identical to the weekly injection. While the pill is not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration, it may become a game-changer for those seeking a needle-free option. Novo Nordisk says they hope to set a new benchmark for oral weight loss medications pending approval.If you are wondering whether these drugs only affect the scale, the answer is no. According to research from UC Davis and the University of California San Diego, GLP-1 drugs not only promote weight loss, but may also offer broader health benefits. Some of the latest studies show that these medications can lower cardiovascular risk, benefit blood pressure, and even reduce the risk of major events like heart attacks and stroke.Researchers at UC San Diego found that GLP-1 use among people with colon cancer was tied to much lower death rates—fifteen point five percent for those on the drugs, versus thirty-seven point one percent for those who were not. While the exact reasons are still being studied, experts believe these medications reduce inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, and might even directly inhibit the growth of cancer cells.The way GLP-1 drugs work is by mimicking a natural hormone produced in your gut after eating. They help your body feel full longer, lower blood sugar, and curb cravings—especially for sweets and fatty foods. Patients often report that the constant mental chatter about food is quieter, making it easier to stick to healthy habits.With all the benefits, it is important to mention common side effects. Many users experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, particularly when starting or increasing doses. Doctors recommend pairing treatment with a nutrient-dense diet, regular exercise, and enough protein to help preserve muscle mass.Experts are also discussing the need for ongoing research into the long-term effects and best practices for managing side effects. As these drugs become more widely used, scientists are working to make sure weight loss translates into lasting improvements for health and well-being.That is all for today's episode of Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Send us a textGood morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a myriad of pivotal changes and advancements that have been shaping our industry.The competitive nature of acquisitions within the biopharma sector has been exemplified by recent strategic buyouts. Lundbeck's decision to outbid Alkermes for Avadel Pharmaceuticals highlights how companies are leveraging acquisitions to expand their capabilities and portfolios. Similarly, Pfizer's finalized acquisition of Metsera after a fierce bidding war with Novo Nordisk underscores the importance of securing valuable assets to strengthen positioning in critical therapeutic areas, such as obesity treatment, where demand continues to rise.Regulatory milestones remain at the heart of industry progress. Organon and Henlius's Poherdy recently received FDA approval as a biosimilar to Roche's Perjeta, offering a new treatment avenue for HER2-positive breast cancer patients. This approval is noteworthy as biosimilars play an essential role in oncology by providing similar efficacy to original biologics but at reduced costs, thereby enhancing healthcare affordability and accessibility. In Europe, the EMA's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use has endorsed several innovative drugs, including Otsuka's Dawnzera for hereditary angioedema and Lilly's Inluriyo for certain cancer types. These endorsements reflect the growing pipeline of treatments addressing both rare genetic disorders and widespread diseases.Merck & Co.'s acquisition of Cidara Therapeutics for $9.2 billion underscores a strategic pivot towards bolstering its antiviral portfolio. This deal is particularly significant given Cidara's promising influenza antiviral candidate, initially abandoned by Johnson & Johnson. In an era where infectious diseases pose ever-evolving challenges, Merck's investment in antivirals reflects a commitment to advancing therapeutic solutions in this crucial area.However, drug development's inherent uncertainties were highlighted by Bristol Myers Squibb and Johnson & Johnson's joint anticoagulant venture, which faced termination due to a Phase 3 trial failure. This setback emphasizes the challenges and risks entailed in developing novel therapeutics, particularly within high-stakes areas like cardiovascular health.Leadership changes can significantly impact corporate strategy, as seen with Bavarian Nordic following an unsuccessful private equity takeover attempt. Such shifts can influence investor confidence and reshape strategic directions.Investment trends also paint an optimistic picture for innovation within the sector. European life sciences investor Medicxi's successful raising of €500 million signifies robust financial support for biotech ventures. This influx of capital is vital for propelling early-stage research and development efforts across Europe, fostering breakthroughs in chronic and rare disease treatments.In terms of scientific innovation, advancements in bispecific antibody production through AI/ML-driven molecular design promise higher yields and enhanced quality. These technological innovations could revolutionize complex biologics manufacturing, potentially accelerating timelines and expanding therapeutic possibilities.The regulatory landscape is seeing significant activity as well. Notably, FDA officials introduced a novel pathway aimed at accelerating gene editing therapies' development and approval. By facilitating faster market entry for personalized medicines, this regulatory innovation could pave the way for treatments tailored to individual genetic profiles.Kyowa Kirin's collaboration with Kura Oncology reached a milestone with FDA approval for an oral medication targeting acute myeloidSupport the show

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we decode the latest breakthroughs, news, and hidden truths about one of the world's most talked-about weight loss drugs. Today, the buzz is about change—how new research, fresh delivery methods, and evolving regulations are reshaping the Ozempic story. Let us start with what is most recent. There is a big development: needles may no longer be necessary. According to reporting in Popular Mechanics and new data published in The New England Journal of Medicine, Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, has released results for a daily oral version of semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic. In their clinical trial, this pill matched the weight loss produced by the weekly injection, with an average of 16.6 percent reduction in body weight. About a third of participants lost more than 20 percent. While side effects like nausea and vomiting were reported at higher rates than placebo, this new pill could make using these drugs more accessible than ever.Access is also the hot topic in pricing. Until this year, monthly Ozempic prescriptions could cost up to $1,350 without insurance support. But after new negotiations, many users will soon pay $50 to $350 per month, depending on dosage and coverage. Lower prices are expected to make these drugs far more widely available.So, how well does Ozempic stack up in its primary role? Ozempic was first approved to treat type two diabetes, with weight loss as a major secondary effect. Harper Clinic Utah reports that, in clinical trials, people using Ozempic lost on average between 10 and 15 percent of their body weight over a little more than a year. But real world success depends on how consistently people use it and whether they also improve their diet and exercise habits.Now a common question—how does Ozempic compare to newer weight loss options like Zepbound and Wegovy? The main distinction is the active ingredient. Ozempic uses semaglutide, which triggers the body to release the hormone GLP-1, helping you feel fuller and slow digestion. Zepbound uses tirzepatide, which mimics both GLP-1 and a second hormone called GIP, and results from major trials suggest it can lead to more dramatic weight loss—up to 21 percent of body weight in some studies. However, Ozempic remains covered by insurance for diabetes, while Zepbound is less often covered.Beyond weight, a new area of research is exploring how Ozempic could affect long-term health conditions. According to ScienceDaily, a recent large-scale analysis found that when people stop using prescription weight loss drugs like Ozempic, they tend to regain much of their lost weight, underscoring the need for ongoing treatment or lifestyle change. But these medicines may do much more than affect weight. Recent studies at University of California San Diego found that people with colon cancer who were on GLP-1 drugs were less than half as likely to die within five years. Another new UVA study, covered by Fox News and ScienceDaily, points to dramatically lower death rates in cancer patients who use GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic—potentially because they lower inflammation and improve metabolic health.There is also new investigation about Ozempic's possible use in treating long COVID. According to research covered by ClickOnDetroit, anecdotal reports suggest that some people taking GLP-1 drugs for weight loss also experienced improvement in their post-COVID symptoms, and new clinical trials are underway.Despite these major advances, affordability and access remain challenges. The latest KFF Health Tracking Poll says that about one in eight adults in the United States are now taking a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound. But half of those surveyed still find the drugs financially out of reach, even as prices are starting to come down.What does all this mean for lifestyle and health? The current scientific consensus is clear: these drugs do not replace needed changes in eating habits and physical activity. As physicians emphasize, Ozempic works best as part of a treatment plan that includes real lifestyle change.As you can see, Ozempic and drugs like it are not just a story about slimming down—they are opening doors to better health, new medical research, and greater access for millions.

In the past week, breakthrough developments surrounding Ozempic and its use for weight loss have dominated health news, reflecting sweeping changes in both medical access and public perception. According to Popular Mechanics, Novo Nordisk, the pharmaceutical giant behind Ozempic and the similar injectable Wegovy, has just revealed the results of a major 71-week clinical study evaluating an oral pill form of semaglutide, the active ingredient in both Ozempic and Wegovy. This study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, found that the daily pill achieved nearly the same results as the weekly injection, with participants losing an average of 16.6 percent of their body weight, far surpassing the 2.7 percent weight loss seen in the placebo group. About one third of those taking the pill lost more than 20 percent of their starting weight, signaling not just statistical significance but profound clinical impact. The trial also reported side effects consistent with earlier injectable versions, including increased incidences of nausea and vomiting, though these were not severe enough to derail the optimism surrounding the pill's future.Compounding these scientific advancements, the White House this week announced successful negotiations with both Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to dramatically reduce the cost of GLP-1 receptor agonists—the drug class of Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound—which many insurance providers had previously excluded or charged full price for. Now, eligible patients may see their out-of-pocket costs plummet from over one thousand dollars per month to a much more accessible fifty to three hundred fifty dollars depending on dosage and coverage. According to comments from Kim Fisher at the UC Davis Innovation Institute for Food and Health, these price adjustments are expected to drive a swift increase in demand and medication use, with around one in eight adult Americans having already tried some form of GLP-1 therapy.Despite the popularity and transformative outcomes touted by both consumers and medical professionals, Ozempic and related drugs are not without controversy. While these medications have reshaped the landscape for obesity and diabetes treatment, as UC Davis reports, emerging evidence indicates a need for caution and individualized care. Some patients experience notable gastrointestinal effects such as nausea and diarrhea, largely because GLP-1 drugs alter how the gut processes food and signal fullness to the brain. In addition, while fat loss can be dramatic, experts highlight that up to one quarter of the total weight lost may be from lean muscle, underscoring the importance of physical activity and adequate protein to preserve strength. Another concern echoed this week involves bone health, as rapid weight loss and restricted nutrition may inadvertently reduce bone density, especially in older adults and postmenopausal women. Leading researchers emphasize that a successful and safe weight loss journey with Ozempic demands precision nutrition, attentive exercise regimens, and regular monitoring to minimize health risks and maximize wellbeing.The intersection of celebrity culture with the Ozempic phenomenon also drew fresh attention over the past week, especially regarding Oprah Winfrey's evolving relationship with the drug. Oprah, who has long shared her struggles with weight publicly, admitted in recent interviews that she initially resisted taking Ozempic, saying she felt it was the easy way out and preferred to focus on lifestyle change. According to AOL, she reflected on her internal conflict about using medical intervention for weight loss, underscoring how the rise of drugs like Ozempic has forced a cultural reckoning over what constitutes effort, discipline, and legitimacy in personal health. While some celebrity peers openly dismiss rumors or deny any use of weight loss drugs, Oprah's decision to speak candidly about her hesitation and subsequent experiences gives voice to a wider conversation happening both in Hollywood and across the nation. As more public figures reveal their choices, the stigma of using medication to address chronic weight struggles may begin to dissipate, helping others seek support without shame.In summary, the past week has marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing Ozempic story. The introduction of a highly effective oral pill, substantial price cuts via government negotiation, and ongoing public debate about safety, efficacy, and cultural perceptions have all contributed to growing momentum. Now, as clinicians and patients alike look ahead to a future where advanced weight management tools are both more accessible and potentially safer to use, the importance of personalized guidance and health literacy has never been clearer.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

California officials misled a federal judge about policies that hide students' "gender transitions" from parents at schools, bombshell documents uncovered by a legal firm appear to show.For decades, leftists in the media and in the Democrat Party have tried to sell a simple equation: to be Latino is to be liberal. They've claimed that any resistance to their radical, anti-American agenda—whether it's open borders, defunding the police, or socialist economic policies—is racist. But that narrative was never true, and millions of Latinos are proving it wrong every day. Chris Salcedo, host of the Chris Salcedo Radio Show, the Chris Salcedo Show on Newsmax TV, and The Salcedo Storm Podcast, joins me to discuss his new book, The Rise of the Liberty-Loving Latino, where he tells the story corparate, legacy media refuses to cover: how a growing number of Hispanic Americans are standing up for faith, family, freedom, and the Constitution.Last week, the White House announced new deals that Donald Trump made with drugmakers Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to lower the prices of some GLP-1 and weight-loss medications.

Send us a textGood morning from Pharma Daily, the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a series of groundbreaking changes and innovations reshaping the landscape of drug development, clinical trials, and regulatory affairs.In a major move, Pfizer has successfully outbid Novo Nordisk to acquire Metsera for $10 billion. This strategic acquisition aims to bolster Pfizer's presence in the obesity treatment market by leveraging Metsera's GLP-1 receptor agonist technology. This acquisition underscores the continuing trend of consolidation within the pharmaceutical industry, enhancing competitive market positioning and reflecting a broader quest for novel therapeutic solutions.Eli Lilly has entered into a $1.2 billion collaboration with Sangenebio to advance RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics targeting metabolic diseases. This partnership marks a pivotal shift towards utilizing RNAi technology to silence disease-causing genes, representing significant progress in metabolic disease treatment. The focus on innovative delivery mechanisms and targeted interventions is critical for accelerating drug development and enhancing therapeutic efficacy.Onchilles Pharma's recent Series A1 funding round, securing $25 million, marks a notable advancement in oncology therapeutics. The company's focus on dual-action cancer biologics targeting the ELANE pathway offers promising insights into immune activation in solid tumors. This investment exemplifies the growing interest in biologic therapies that provide targeted cancer treatments, potentially leading to more effective options for patients.Regulatory advancements are also making headlines. Chongqing Precision Biotech has received approval for Pujiolunxi, a treatment for pediatric relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), broadening therapeutic options for this challenging pediatric condition. Furthermore, Alembic Pharmaceuticals' generic version of Dasatinib tablets has gained FDA approval for Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia, increasing accessibility to treatment.Several promising clinical trial results have emerged recently. Summit Therapeutics and Akeso Biopharma's Ivonescimab showed a 26% overall survival benefit in phase 3 trials for non-small-cell lung cancer. The potential of bispecific antibodies in combination therapies is gaining attention for its efficacy in difficult-to-treat cancers. Additionally, Regeneron's Dupixent has achieved phase 3 success in treating allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, reinforcing its role as a versatile treatment option across various inflammatory diseases.Advancements in cardiovascular therapeutics also continue to unfold. Merck & Co.'s Enlicitide Decanoate demonstrated over 50% LDL cholesterol reduction in a phase 3 study focused on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease through PCSK9 inhibition. AstraZeneca's Baxdrostat showed significant blood pressure reduction in trials targeting treatment-resistant hypertension, highlighting the potential impact of aldosterone synthase inhibitors on cardiovascular health.The investment landscape remains robust with substantial fundraising activities such as Elephas Biosciences' $40 million Series B-2 for commercializing their live tumor profiling platform and Iambic's over $100 million series focused on AI-driven drug discovery. These investments underscore the industry's commitment to integrating advanced technologies like AI and live tumor profiling to enhance precision medicine capabilities.FDA regulatory updates are pivotal as well, notably with the decision to lift warning labels from hormone replacement therapy (HRT) products following an expert review that found previous warnings were based on misinformation regaSupport the show

En el Consultorio de Bolsa de Capital Intereconomía, Miguel Méndez, Analista independiente, comenta su visión sobre los mercados y destaca el cambio de ánimo entre los inversores. Señala que “la semana pasada arrancamos con pánico y ahora lo hacemos con muchos índices en máximos”, reflejando la rápida recuperación del sentimiento del mercado y el impulso de los principales selectivos. En materia de commodities, Méndez pone el foco en el oro, que mantiene un comportamiento positivo. Asegura que “el movimiento alcista continúa” y añade que “para ver los 5.000 dólares habrá que esperar al año que viene”, mostrando su confianza en la fortaleza del metal precioso. También analiza el caso de la farmacéutica Eli Lilly, que considera “el claro ganador frente a Novo Nordisk”. Recomienda “dejar correr la serie al alza”, aunque advierte que conviene “mantener un stop de protección en los 918 dólares”.

One of biopharma's most memorable bidding wars finally came to an end on Friday—with Metsera right back in the arms of its original suitor, but with Pfizer paying around $10 billion for the rights to the obesity biotech, a nearly $3 billion increase over its original bid. But while Novo Nordisk may have bowed out of that race, the company still made headlines this past week, with CEO Maziar Mike Doustdar joining Eli Lilly head David Ricks at the White House on Thursday to announce a deal that will see their GLP-1 drugs offered at about $350 per month.   This marks a significant discount to the current list prices of $1086 and $1350 for Lilly's obesity drug Zepbound and Novo's comparator Wegovy, respectively. No matter how low they go, however, the GLP-1 leaders can still be undercut by compounders, Steven Grossman, policy and regulatory consultant and author of the FDA Matters blog, told BioSpace this week.   Speaking of Lilly, the Indianapolis-based pharma had a busy week, reporting 20% weight loss in a mid-stage study of its amylin agonist eloralintide that William Blair analysts said “validates [the] amylin agonist class.” Lilly also netted two new partners, inking a $1.2 billion RNAi pact with SangeneBio to target metabolic diseases and licensing a genetic eye disease therapy from MeiraGTx Holdings for up to $475 million.   On the regulatory front, the FDA awarded the second round of priority review vouchers under its new Commissioner's National Priority Vouchers program. Unlike the first cohort of vouchers, which was announced in October, this group mostly consisted of products already on the market—with the exception of Lilly's orforglipron.   Finally, BioSpace dives into one the hottest trends in the immunology and inflammation (I&I) space—pipeline-in-a-product. Possibly motivated by blockbuster drugs like AbbVie's Skyrizi and Rinvoq and Regeneron and Sanofi's Dupixent, companies are optimizing shots on multiple goals in this lucrative space.

With ObesityWeek yielding eye-catching amylin data and a bidding war that ran to $10 billion for Metsera, weight loss companies were center stage in biotech last week. On the latest edition of the BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury's analysts explained why Pfizer's victory for the start-up over European rival Novo Nordisk doesn't necessarily mean a broader U.S. policy shift against foreign acquisitions of domestic biotechs.Turning to ObesityWeek readouts, they discuss Eli Lilly's data for amylin monotherapy eloralintide, arguing that just as Lilly did with GLP-1 agonists, the company is again setting the benchmark by which all other molecules in the class will be measured.BioCentury's analysts also discuss takeaways from Washington Editor Steve Usdin's Commentary, which finds FDA in a crisis of politicized decisions, plummeting morale, and a hollowed workforce, and highlights from BioCentury's interview with gene therapy pioneer Jim Wilson as he rethinks the funding model for ultrarare disease therapies to keep his mission on track.

Send us a textGood morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. In today's rapidly evolving landscape, we witness significant strides shaping the future of drug development, patient care, and global market dynamics.Merck & Co. has made a notable advancement in cholesterol management with a PCSK9-targeted pill. This pill has achieved reductions in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) comparable to existing injectable therapies. Such innovation represents a significant step forward by potentially offering a more convenient oral alternative for patients. The development underscores the industry's ongoing efforts to enhance patient compliance and therapeutic outcomes through novel drug delivery mechanisms.In a strategic corporate move, Pfizer has successfully acquired Metsera, an obesity biotech company, for a substantial $10 billion. This acquisition, which followed an intense bidding war with Novo Nordisk, exemplifies Pfizer's aggressive expansion in the obesity treatment market—a growing global health challenge. The strategic buyout positions Pfizer to leverage Metsera's expertise, potentially accelerating the development and commercialization of innovative obesity treatments.Meanwhile, Novo Nordisk is enhancing its presence in India by partnering with Emcure Pharmaceuticals to expand access to Wegovy, its weight-loss treatment. This collaboration is particularly significant given India's escalating obesity rates and highlights the importance of regional partnerships in enhancing drug accessibility and addressing public health issues.Regulatory developments continue to influence industry dynamics as well. The FDA has postponed its decision on expanding Rhythm Pharmaceuticals' Imcivree for additional indications. These regulatory delays highlight the complexities and unpredictabilities inherent in drug approval processes, underscoring the need for companies to strategically navigate these challenges.Regeneron and AstraZeneca have reported clinical trial successes with their respective anti-inflammatory drugs, Dupixent and Fasenra. These positive outcomes were showcased at the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology's annual meeting, bolstering the companies' aspirations for FDA approvals. Successful clinical outcomes not only pave the way for expanded therapeutic options but also demonstrate the industry's commitment to addressing complex inflammatory conditions.October has seen a surge in TV advertising spending, led by Johnson & Johnson's campaign for Tremfya. The campaign highlights the power of patient community engagement in bringing attention to conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), emphasizing how patient advocacy can reduce isolation among sufferers.In oncology, Cogent Biosciences is on track for an FDA submission following successful phase 3 trials of its cancer asset bezuclastinib. This development illustrates the critical role of rigorous clinical research in advancing oncology treatments and potentially improving patient outcomes.Turning our attention to technological frontiers within pharmaceutical R&D, Eli Lilly has been particularly active in cementing its commitment to artificial intelligence (AI) and gene therapy through several strategic collaborations. The company has entered into a $100 million-plus research agreement with Insilico Medicine to leverage AI for drug discovery. This partnership aims to expedite the identification of novel therapeutic targets and enhance drug development efficiency—a reflection of a broader industry trend towards integrating AI into pharmaceutical processes.Additionally, Lilly has made a notable move in gene therapy by acquiring rights from MeiraGTx for a retinal disease therapy that has shown Support the show

The federal government shutdown is still dragging on — now stretching into its second month — freezing key economic data and labor reports. This adds more uncertainty to already shaky markets, which are struggling under tariffs. Meanwhile, major developments are unfolding in the courts, from a pivotal Supreme Court case that could redefine presidential power over tariffs to an antitrust battle involving Pfizer and Novo Nordisk.At the state level, voters weighed in on key tax and spending measures that will shape local economies for years to come. A lot is happening across every level of government — and each of these stories ties back to one question: how do we keep America's economy free, competitive, and growing? In This Week's Economy, I explore this question in light of recent news. You can catch the full episode on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify.Visit: VanceGinn.comSubscribe: VanceGinn.Substack.com

S&P futures are pointing higher today. Asia equities ended higher, Europe opened with strong gains. US dollar unchanged. Treasury yields higher across tenors, JGB yields also up. Crude oil futures higher. Precious metals up with gold back above $4K. Base metals mixed. Cryptocurrencies also rallying. Risk sentiment supported on news that US Senate is nearing deal to end government shutdown with enough Democrats in support. Compromise said to involve fully funding Departments of Agriculture and Veterans Affairs for a year while partially funding other agencies through 30-Jan. Agreement guarantees laid-off federal employees will be re-hired and given backpay. Any deal would also unblock release of delayed economic data, providing colour on December rate cut prospects. White House also warned of a potentially negative Q4 GDP print from shutdown that extended past Thanksgiving. Companies Mentioned: Accor, Metsera, Pfizer, Novo Nordisk

In this powerful episode, I will break down one of the biggest developments in obesity and diabetes treatment in U.S. history. Two major pharmaceutical companies - Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk - have reached a groundbreaking agreement with the administration that will drastically reduce the prices of popular medications like Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound. This pricing model could transform how obesity medications are covered, distributed, and accessed across Medicare, Medicaid, and direct-to-consumer platforms. Tune in to learn what this new deal means for patients, healthcare providers, and public health overall—and why it's being called a game changer for people struggling with obesity and related health conditions. Episode Highlights: Major price cuts announced for Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound under a new federal deal   Medicare to cover obesity drugs for the first time through a five-year pilot program   Medicaid given the option to join discounted pricing starting 2026   Team Rx launches a direct-to-consumer model cutting out costly middlemen   Lower cash prices for GLP-1 medications and upcoming oral versions   Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to invest billions in U.S. manufacturing   Program expected to improve access, affordability, and supply of obesity and diabetes meds   Ongoing push for the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act to expand national coverage   Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

The U.S. Senate progressed a deal towards ending the longest U.S. Government shutdown in history. Eight democrats joined all but one republican in voting to move forward with a funding bill that will keep the U.S. Government liquid through January 30th, drawing rebuke from Democratic party leaders given the deal's lack of guarantees on healthcare. Meanwhile, China will resume exports of Nexperia chips following a row with the Dutch government, potentially giving a boost to the autos industry which had been hit by the supply shock. In pharma news, the battle between Pfizer and Novo Nordisk for weight-loss biotech Metsera has ended, with the Danish conglomerate losing out in the $10 billion deal.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

//The Wire//2300Z November 6, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: RIOTS ERUPT IN BIRMINGHAM AS SPORTS MATCH TRANSITIONS FROM GENERAL HOOLIGANISM INTO LARGER GEOPOLITICAL CONFLICT. OVAL OFFICE PRESS CONFERENCE HALTED DUE TO PHARMA EXEC COLLAPSING SUDDENLY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: A state of civil unrest has emerged following a soccer match inflaming local tensions. Following a much-anticipated soccer match between a team from Tel Aviv and the local Aston Villa team in Birmingham, riots broke out overnight as rival gangs took their disputes to the street. Riot police were deployed to the stop the roving bands of "youths" from destroying property and generally causing disarray. Throughout the day today, the unrest has continued as long-held social tensions in Birmingham reached the boiling point. Over 700x police officers have been called up for duty tonight as the riots are planned to become much more significant with tonight's match against Tel Aviv.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This afternoon the White House announced a special press conference on the topic of pharmaceuticals. Most notably the press conference was called to announce a partnership with Novo Nordisk to lower the price of the Ozempic drug when purchased through the TrumpRX program.Analyst Comment: The press conference was abruptly cut short after Gordon Findlay, one of the senior executives of Novo Nordisk (the maker of Ozempic) collapsed in the Oval Office during the live broadcast. Dr. Oz, who was a part of the conference tried to render aid to him, and the rest of the press conference was delayed while Findlay received medical treatment. It's not certain why he dropped, but the White House stated that he was okay but feeling a bit lightheaded after the incident.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Once more, the misfortune of our friends across the pond gives Americans absolutely critical insight as to how things might go if a similar series of events were to pop off here in a major American city. For obvious reasons, a relatively nondescript soccer match is less about the sport and more about social and political issues, thus the unrest concerns. In short, it's a fairly kinetic and complex situation that serves in many ways as an indicator of the future to come.Birmingham has become a huge focal point for migrant housing, and these riots were not the work of the indigenous English. However, as with all soccer hooliganism, the rioting is almost never just one-sided. In this case, some (not all) Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were banned by British authorities from the Aston Villa stadium after starting a riot themselves, according to police. This resulted in two things happening simultaneously: the Islamic population of Birmingham rejoiced at this perceived geopolitical victory (and celebrated by breaking things and causing a ruckus), while many other Maccabi Tel Aviv fans lashed out in anger (again, also by breaking things and causing a ruckus). However, during the general state of unrest, rival gangs of mostly black and Islamic migrants (which had no interest in soccer) started fighting amongst themselves, adding in more diversity to the evening fray. Others still showed up to protest for more political purposes, but remained relatively calm throughout the evening. When the police arrived to restore order as this was getting underway last night (the day before the match), the more active elements of the crowds turned on them, targeting them with fireworks (which were probably used due to yesterday being Guy Fawkes Night). It is this unrest that continued from last night, throughout the day today, to tonight as well (the night of the match). So this is a two-day affair, not just a one-and-done scuffle, but a more prolonged period of unrest.In short, what's going on in Birmingham right now is more or less a state of mild pandem
