Dr Andrew Macleod
GLP-1 Medical Weight Loss & Anti-Inflammatory Therapy
With over 30 years of clinical experience, Dr Andrew Macleod brings extensive medical expertise to the field of weight management. Over the past four years, he has worked extensively with GLP-1 therapy — one of the most significant breakthroughs in modern metabolic medicine.
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone produced in the gut that regulates blood sugar and appetite. It enhances insulin secretion, slows gastric emptying and promotes a sustained feeling of fullness — making it a powerful, medically guided solution for weight management.
GLP-1 Therapy for Weight Loss
GLP-1 treatment assists patients struggling with stubborn, resistant or excess weight by:
Reducing appetite and cravings
Improving insulin sensitivity
Supporting metabolic regulation
Promoting sustainable fat reduction
This evidence-based therapy is administered under medical supervision and forms part of a structured weight management plan designed for long-term results.
GLP-1 & Systemic Inflammation
Beyond weight loss, GLP-1 therapy has demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory effects.
Dr Andrew has observed groundbreaking results in patients with inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, as GLP-1 directly supports:
Blood vessels (reducing endothelial inflammation)
Heart tissue (lowering post-ischemic inflammation)
Kidneys (suppressing inflammatory fibrosis)
Brain tissue (reducing neuroinflammation)
This positions GLP-1 as not only a metabolic treatment, but also a powerful systemic therapeutic tool.
