As a world-leading expert in obesity and metabolism, I’ve dedicated over two decades to pioneering research and clinical innovation that has transformed the way we treat weight-related diseases.

“A Natural Alternative to GLP-1 Injections?”
GLP-1 injections like Ozempic have gained massive attention—and they can be helpful for some.
But many of my patients aren’t ready (or willing) to inject themselves weekly, deal with side effects, or pay £200+ per month.
That’s why I’ve been researching plant-based alternatives that support the same pathways—but without synthetic drugs.
One oral solution I’ve been following combines:
– GLP-1 activators from plants
– NAD+ precursors for cellular energy
– Natural ingredients like white kidney bean, moringa, and probiotics
The goal isn’t a quick fix—but gradual, sustainable improvements in appetite, energy, digestion, and mood.
If you’ve struggled with modern GLP-1 drugs, this gentle route might be worth considering.

“What I Tell My Patients About Appetite and Age”
As a medical doctor specialising in weight management, I see this every day:
Women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond come to me feeling discouraged, frustrated, and often ashamed.
They say:
“I barely eat, but I keep gaining.”
“I’ve tried everything—but nothing works anymore.”
Here’s the truth: It’s not your fault.
As we age, appetite hormones like GLP-1 decline, metabolism slows, and inflammation rises.
Traditional “eat less, move more” advice doesn’t account for this.
That’s why I recommend evidence-based solutions that support GLP-1 signalling naturally—without injections or extreme diets.
Your body isn’t broken. It just needs support that matches where you are now. 💚

Supporting Blood Sugar Balance for Stable Energy
Fluctuating blood sugar can cause energy crashes, mood swings, and cravings for sugary foods. GLP-1’s role in improving insulin secretion and reducing glucagon helps maintain steady blood sugar levels, preventing these ups and downs. This creates a more balanced energy level throughout the day and supports better focus and mood — vital when making lifestyle changes.

Intermittent fasting is more than a fad; it's a scientifically supported approach to weight management. By limiting eating windows, intermittent fasting helps improve insulin sensitivity, regulate hunger hormones, and promote fat burning.
It’s important to find a fasting schedule that suits your lifestyle and health needs. Always consult your healthcare professional before starting.

Did you know some commonly prescribed medications can contribute to weight gain? If you’re struggling despite your best efforts, it’s worth discussing with your doctor whether your medication could be a factor—and exploring possible alternatives.

Real Science, Real Results — Clinical Backing for GLP-1 and NAD+
Clinical trials and research studies support the effectiveness of GLP-1 based therapies in reducing weight and improving blood sugar control in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Likewise, NAD+ supplementation has been shown to improve metabolic markers and cellular health. This is not just hype — these molecules are at the forefront of modern metabolic and weight management science. Choosing supplements that support these pathways offers a genuine, science-backed advantage.

Chronic inflammation plays a hidden role in obesity and related diseases. Certain foods, like refined carbs and trans fats, increase inflammation, while others like berries, nuts, and oily fish have anti-inflammatory effects.
Incorporating these into your diet can protect your heart, joints, and metabolic health.

Obesity isn’t simply about weight—it’s a complex health condition affecting multiple systems in the body, including cardiovascular health, metabolism, and mental well-being.
Addressing obesity requires a holistic approach: combining balanced nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and sometimes medical intervention. Small, sustainable steps make a real difference over time.
Remember, the goal is improved health, not just a lower number on the scales.

Weight management isn’t one-size-fits-all. Genetics, environment, gut health, and even mental health impact how your body responds to diet and exercise.
That’s why personalised health plans, tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle, are often the most effective.

Understanding the Hormonal Side of Weight Management
Weight loss isn’t just about eating less or exercising more. Our body’s hormones, especially GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide-1), play a crucial role in regulating appetite and metabolism. GLP-1 signals your brain to feel full and slows the rate food leaves your stomach, meaning fewer cravings and better portion control. For anyone struggling with weight, understanding how these natural hormones work can transform your approach. It’s a smarter, science-backed way to tackle obesity that goes beyond “calories in, calories out.

How GLP-1 Helps Control Blood Sugar and Weight
GLP-1 is naturally produced in the gut and has multiple functions. Not only does it help you feel fuller, but it also enhances insulin secretion and reduces glucagon release — key hormones that balance your blood sugar. This is especially important for people with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance. By improving insulin sensitivity, GLP-1 helps the body use sugar more effectively, reducing energy crashes and sugar cravings that often lead to overeating.

Sleep quality directly influences weight control. Poor sleep disrupts hormones like leptin and ghrelin, which regulate hunger and fullness, often leading to overeating.
Aim for 7-8 hours of restful sleep each night to support your metabolic health and weight management efforts.
