Transform your gut, transform your life

The early 2000s saw the rise of the ‘size zero’ culture, and now, with the resurgence of the ‘summer shred’, the growing ‘Skinny Tok’ momentum and the availability of weight loss injections off-the-shelf, there is a renewed and concerning focus on extreme thinness.
