Whether your goal is fat reduction, improving metabolic markers, or achieving long-term weight control, our clinic’s structured weight loss management approach adapts to your body — not the other way around — providing clarity, support, and results that last.
How Our Weight Loss Programme Works
Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical assessment conducted by our doctors. As part of our weight loss programme, we evaluate:
Body composition, BMI, and Asian-specific health risk cut-offs (if applicable)
Fat distribution and key metabolic markers such as blood sugar, cholesterol, and hormonal balance
Lifestyle patterns including diet, physical activity, and sleep quality
Underlying medical factors that may impact weight loss, such as insulin resistance or thyroid dysfunction
This detailed evaluation allows us to understand not just your weight, but your metabolic profile and overall health status.
Weight Management Options
Our structured weight management programme combines medical oversight, personalised planning, and evidence-based interventions to support measurable fat loss while preserving energy levels, metabolic balance, and overall wellbeing. Depending on your medical assessment, your customised weight loss plan may include:
Prescription-Based Weight Loss Support
Under close medical supervision, our doctors may prescribe clinically-approved weight loss injections to support appetite control and metabolic regulation. This can include GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide, where appropriate.
These treatments are integrated into a structured programme to enhance satiety, improve metabolic markers, and promote gradual, sustainable weight reduction while prioritising patient safety and ongoing monitoring.
Personalised Nutrition and Lifestyle Strategy
Sustainable weight management extends beyond prescription. Our doctors provide structured nutrition and lifestyle guidance tailored to your metabolic profile and health goals. This may include personalised meal planning, portion control strategies, exercise recommendations, and behavioural optimisation techniques. The objective is to improve metabolic flexibility, maintain energy levels, and support long-term adherence to healthy habits that reinforce sustainable fat loss.
Metabolic and Health Monitoring
Ongoing monitoring is a core component of our doctor-led weight loss programme.
We regularly assess body composition, BMI, waist circumference, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and other metabolic indicators. This data-driven approach allows our doctors to adjust your weight loss management plan as needed, ensuring progress remains measurable, safe, and aligned with improvements in overall metabolic health.
Adjunct Body and Fat Reduction Support
Where appropriate, additional treatments may be recommended to complement your weight loss journey.
These options can range from energy-based therapies to body contouring interventions that support fat reduction and body composition improvements.
All adjunct options are carefully evaluated by our doctors to ensure they align with your overall health goals without compromising safety or sustainability.

Why Losing Weight Can Be So Difficult
If you’ve been eating well, exercising, and still not seeing results, the issue is often not willpower. Weight loss is strongly influenced by hormones that regulate hunger, satiety, and how your body processes energy. When these signals are out of balance, even a structured diet and exercise plan can be less effective, making sustainable fat reduction more challenging.
Ghrelin: Your Hunger Hormone
Ghrelin acts as the body’s hunger alarm. When levels remain elevated, hunger signals can feel persistent, making it difficult to maintain a calorie deficit.
What this means for you: You may feel hungry more often or struggle to stick to a diet because your body is signalling for more energy intake.
Leptin: The Hormone That Signals Fullness
Leptin communicates to your brain that you’ve eaten enough. In some people, the brain becomes less responsive to leptin, a condition often referred to as leptin resistance.
What this means for you: Even after a full meal, you may feel unsatisfied, leading to snacking or larger portions, despite having sufficient energy stores.

There is no strict upper limit; every programme is tailored to the patient’s individual needs to ensure safety and effective results.
-
Individual results vary depending on metabolic factors, treatment components, and adherence to the programme. Some patients may notice changes in hunger or energy levels within weeks, while meaningful fat loss and metabolic improvements may take several months.
