Introduction
In 2025, GLP-1 receptor agonist injections like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are trending in weight loss circles. These medications are delivering impressive bodyweight reductions—15–20% for some—but medical professionals warn they’re not magic bullets – The Times of India.
Dr Prakash Tata advocates for balanced healing, reminding us that modern interventions must complement—not replace—holistic wellness.
What Are GLP-1 Injections & How Do They Work?
GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) drugs mimic gut hormones that regulate appetite and digestion. They slow gastric emptying and suppress hunger signals, leading to weight loss. Dr Prakash Tata notes that Ayurveda emphasizes such metabolic balance—without side effects.
Potential Benefits

Improved blood sugar control
Appetite regulation
Yet Dr Prakash Tata urges a cautious worldview: natural weight maintenance involves diet, exercise, and mental balance.

Medical experts highlight side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, acid reflux, gallstones, and possible pancreatitis- The Times of India. Monitoring blood sugar is essential if used by non-diabetics.
