Описание: Are you confused by the sudden explosion of weight-loss injections, or wondering why you can't fight obesity despite trying every diet and exercise?

In this episode of Doctor vs Internet, host Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor and renowned Mumbai-based Endocrinologist Dr. Shashank Joshi sit down to demystify the GLP-1 injections phenomenon and decode the genetic reality of the Indian body.

From types of GLP 1 drugs, uses, how is a suitable candidate for them, to exposing the "Thin-Fat Indian" syndrome and the Indian "laziness gene," we cover exactly what you need to know before considering any weight loss treatments.

We also dive deep into why muscle is your ultimate health currency, the dangers of unprescribed GLP-1 use, and why traditional habits like soaking your almonds or boiling your spices might be destroying your nutrients!
