What is GLP-1 and how does it work?
GLP 1’s work by regulating appetite, digestion, and metabolism.
How it works:
Regulate appetite: GLP-1s signal the brain to help you feel full sooner and reduce cravings.
Slow digestion: They delay stomach emptying, which helps control hunger and keeps you satisfied longer.
Support blood sugar balance: GLP-1s improve how your body releases insulin, helping maintain steady blood sugar levels.
The result: You feel less hungry, stay full longer, and burn more fat - safetly and gradually.

During your consultation, Dr. Gupta can create a customized plan to address any concerns and complete your transformation.
