A Medically Guided Approach to Weight Loss
Rather than a one-size-fits-all diet, medical weight loss starts by understanding your body and your history. Your consultation includes a discussion of your health, your goals and the factors that may be making weight harder to shift, and where appropriate this is supported by blood tests. From there, our doctor works with you on a plan, and your progress is reviewed and adjusted over time. Everything is medically supervised.
Understanding What Drives Weight Gain
Several things influence how easily your body stores or loses fat. Insulin sensitivity affects how your body responds to the food you eat, the glycaemic load of your diet affects your blood sugar and cravings, and appetite and hormones influence how hungry and how satisfied you feel. As we age these systems change, which is part of why weight can creep on even when little else has. Understanding which of these matters most for you is the first step in addressing it.
Nutrition You Can Sustain
A plan only works if you can live with it. Instead of a restrictive fad diet, we focus on sustainable eating built around lower glycaemic index foods, quality complex carbohydrates and a balance that suits your metabolism. The aim is a way of eating you can maintain for the long term, not just for a few weeks.
Movement and Everyday Activity
Regular physical activity is one of the most effective things you can do for your metabolism. It helps improve the way your body uses insulin and supports fat loss, particularly around the waist. Your plan includes realistic, achievable activity that fits your life rather than an all-or-nothing regime.
The Role of Hormones and Metabolism
Hormonal changes that come with age can make weight harder to manage, and sometimes an underlying imbalance is part of the picture. Where it is relevant, our doctor can assess these factors, including through blood tests, and address them as part of your overall care. Because this is a medical program, any treatment is decided and supervised by your doctor based on your individual assessment.
Who Is the Program For?
Medical weight loss suits people who want a considered, medically supported approach rather than a quick fix, and who are ready to make sustainable changes with professional guidance. It is not right for everyone, and part of the consultation is making sure the program is a good fit for your health and your goals. Dr Nasser will assess your situation and talk you through what your plan would involve.
