The Gila Monster + GLP-1 Connection: How a Lizard Changed Modern Medicine Jennifer Hardy Apr 20, 2025 4 min read While the advent of the Ozempic Era is widely credited to Big Pharma companies like Novo Nordisk (semaglutide) and Eli Lilly (tirzepatide), it turns out the real GLP-1 game changer is one of the most venomous and elusive lizards on Earth: the Gila monster
In one trial for semaglutide, participants taking a 2.4 mg once-weekly dose lost 14.9% of their body weight over 68 weeks compared to a weight reduction of 2.4% in the placebo group
In a large study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Semaglutide (which is the active ingredient in both Ozempic) led to an average weight loss of about 15% of the body weight in about a year, which is an average total weight loss of about 33.7 lbs
