In treating obesity, I adopt a comprehensive strategy focusing on lifestyle modifications, nutritional counseling, and, when necessary, medication. My approach is patient-centered, addressing the unique needs and challenges of each individual to achieve sustainable weight management and improve overall health.
Nutritional
Counseling
Working with patients to create a balanced diet plan tailored to their individual needs and preferences.
Physical Activity Guidance
Developing practical exercise routines that fit into the patient's daily life, promoting weight loss and overall health.
Behavioral
Therapy
Addressing underlying psychological aspects, such as emotional eating, through supportive counseling.
Medical
Interventions
Utilising medications or, when necessary, recommending surgical options, ensuring safe and effective treatment.
Referrals to
Specialists
When required, referring patients to other healthcare professionals, such as dietitians, bariatric surgeons, or mental health therapists, for specialised care.
Ongoing Support and Monitoring
Continuously evaluating progress and adjusting treatments as needed, offering consistent support for long-term weight management success.
Obesity is not just a result of one's choices but a complex interplay of various factors.
Genetic Influences
Investigating how genetic makeup can predispose individuals to obesity, affecting their body's way of processing food and storing fat.
Dietary Patterns
Understanding the role of modern diets rich in high-calorie, processed foods in contributing to excessive weight gain.
Activity and Lifestyle
Assessing the impact of sedentary habits in today's increasingly digital world and how they contribute to obesity.
