Can You Control Addictive Behavior with Diet?
GLP-1 drugs are now being used to treat addiction, but why? The key lies in dopamine—your brain’s reward neurotransmitter. Research suggests these drugs enhance dopamine activity by suppressing hunger, which in turn activates AMPK, the master regulator of metabolism. The result? Dopamine works more effectively.
But while GLP-1 drugs can be powerful, they come with serious side effects. The good news? You can achieve similar benefits naturally through Metabolic Engineering®, which is also based on calorie restriction—but designed for long-term health.
Take control of your metabolism and your cravings—the power is in your diet!
