Weight Loss Injections, Keto, Or DNA: What Really Works?

In the search for sustainable and effective weight loss, people are often overwhelmed by choices – from popular diets like Keto, to cutting-edge medications and personalised genetic testing. But which approach delivers real, lasting results?

At The BioHacking Clinic, we believe that effective weight management isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about finding the right tools for your unique biology. In this blog, we explore three of today’s most talked-about options: weight loss injections, the Keto diet, and DNA-based nutrition – and how to know which may be right for you.

The Rise of Weight Loss Injections: What Is Tirzepatide?

In recent years, weight loss injections have emerged as a revolutionary option for people who have struggled with traditional methods. One of the most promising medications is tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics natural hormones involved in blood sugar control and appetite regulation.

Tirzepatide, available under the Mounjaro® brand name, has shown impressive results in clinical trials – not only for managing type 2 diabetes, but also for supporting significant, sustained weight loss in eligible individuals.

Patients with The BioHacking Clinic can access tirzepatide injections via our trusted sister site, Face Medical (an aesthetic and wellness clinic near Manchester), under medical supervision. These injections are most suitable for individuals with a BMI over 30, or over 27 with weight-related health conditions, and must be prescribed by a qualified professional.

Note: Mounjaro® is a registered trademark of Eli Lilly and Company. The BioHacking Clinic is not affiliated with Eli Lilly. We provide access to tirzepatide through regulated prescribing partners.

The Keto Diet: A Controversial Classic

The Ketogenic (Keto) diet remains a popular choice for those seeking quick fat loss. By dramatically reducing carbohydrates and increasing fat intake, Keto forces the body into a state of ketosis, where fat is burned for energy instead of glucose.

While some people thrive on Keto, others experience side effects like fatigue, digestive issues, or plateaus after initial success. However, it’s found that Keto isn’t universally effective – and your body’s response often comes down to genetics, hormones, and metabolic function.

The Power of Personalisation: DNA-Based Nutrition

This is where science meets biohacking. With our exclusive BIO-Nutrition DNA Test, you can uncover how your genes influence your metabolism, appetite, fat storage, carbohydrate tolerance, and even how your body responds to exercise.

Instead of guessing which diet or treatment is right for you, your DNA profile offers a clear roadmap, helping you make data-driven decisions for long-term weight management.

Your personalised report includes:

  • Genetic predisposition to weight gain
  • Optimal macronutrient breakdown (carbs, fats, protein)
  • Response to different types of exercise
  • Risk of insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome
    Insights into hunger and satiety hormones

By understanding your biology, you can decide whether Keto will work for you, whether a GLP-1 based injection like tirzepatide could be more effective, or whether a balanced, DNA-informed nutrition plan is the safest and smartest route.

So, What Works Best?

There’s no magic bullet – but the best results come from personalisation.

  • Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) can be highly effective for individuals with obesity or metabolic health concerns and should always be used under medical supervision.
  • Keto may work for some, but isn’t suitable for everyone – especially without understanding your body’s tolerance to fats and carbs.
  • BIO-Nutrition DNA Testing gives you a powerful advantage by tailoring your strategy to your genetic makeup.
