Weight Loss
Management Specialist
Personalised Weight management through correcting any hormonal imbalance and with the use of medications, such as Semaglutide (Wegovy) or Tirzepatide (Mounjaro), to reduce body fat when lifestyle changes alone are insufficient. When combined with a balanced diet and physical activity, these medications can lead to significant and sustained weight loss.
These are prescribed after appropriate investigations, for individuals with obesity or weight-related health conditions and continued medical supervision.
Thyroid Disorders
An underactive thyroid gland (Hypothyroidism) is where your thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormones. Common signs of an underactive thyroid are tiredness, weight gain and feeling depressed.
Overactive thyroid (Hyperthyroidism) – Excess levels of thyroid hormones can speed up the body’s metabolism, triggering a range of symptoms, such as nervousness, palpitation and hyperactivity.
