Big Pharma's Playbook: How the Weight Loss Industry Bought the World
May 13, 2026
Season 6
Episode 18
Dr Asher Larmie
The pharmaceutical industry didn't just create a weight loss drug — it created a world in which you cannot escape it. In this episode, I trace Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly's systematic strategy to buy the guidelines, bribe the charities, train the doctors, and lobby the politicians — and I show you exactly how they copied it from the people who gave us the opioid crisis. This isn't conspiracy theory. It's a paper trail. And once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
