By now we’ve all heard of Ozempic and its GLP-1 sisters Wegovy and Mounjaro. But what you might not know is that they are part of a broader family of molecules called peptides, which the most cutting-edge doctors are using for potentially life changing preventative therapies.
Dr Mohammed Enayat, an east London GP and founder of the longevity clinic HUM2N, believes they could be the secret to longer, healthier lives, with newer peptide therapies being used to tackle conditions including brain related diseases, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, cardiometabolic disease, which includes obesity and type 2 diabetes, along with cardiovascular complications such as heart disease and stroke, along with peptides that can help prevent musculoskeletal injuries – not just for athletes but anyone who works out.
