The global obesity crisis is a problem that money simply cannot solve according to Billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates

It seems that Dr Bill Gates, the world’s most powerful doctor according to Google, and top funder of the World Health Organization (WHO) & Gavi the vaccine alliance, has his own prescription for weight loss.

Forget yoga or other types of exercise, Gates says that the most promising aid to losing weight are drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounzaro, and Zepbound…..

During a conversation with Indian entrepreneur Raj Shamani, Gates stressed the difficulty of creating lasting behavior change in societies that are struggling with obesity and weight-related health issues.

The Economic Times reports: Gates acknowledged that while individual lifestyle shifts are important, medical innovation will play a critical role. He pointed to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists—originally developed for diabetes—as one of the most promising solutions on the horizon.

“The most promising is a class of drugs called these GLP-1 drugs that are going to go off patent to become cheap. I’m always a little ‘over-focused’ on a scientific solution,” Gates admitted. “So, maybe a combination of ta combination of that behaviour change and the new tools. But behaviour change is hard; we haven’t succeeded in that as much as we’d like to.”

These medications, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound, work by mimicking a natural hormone in the body that slows stomach emptying and reduces appetite. The result? Users feel fuller for longer and tend to eat less.
