Retatrutide · What it helps
Appetite and gut transit
Hunger and food noise drop within days, through the same brain centres that GLP-1 uses. The stomach empties more slowly and the bowel moves more slowly. For someone with fast, urgent bowels this slowing is a benefit; for someone with a slow stomach it is the thing to watch. Meals get smaller without a fight.
