A constant complaint I come across with my patients is that the previous doctors they’ve consulted, have given them the helpful ‘you need to lose weight’ advice without examining the reasons why they are overweight or obese. There is a lot of shame based communication within the healthcare community and such patients are often left without the care they need or deserve, and have to face judgement and isolation instead of receiving the proper management.
I understand this sentiment , because I have been there too!
When I struggled with being obese, what I realised over the years, was that most doctors sadly missed out on addressing multiple other factors that heavily impacted my health and weight.
They never considered my emotional health, my stress and anxiety, the hormonal imbalances and most importantly how frustrated I was with my body— these factors not only were impacting my weight but my overall well-being too.

Women, especially when their weight gain is accompanied by PCOS, need a specialised, tailor-made approach towards weight management.

If you are someone who has tried every diet and workout programme out there to no avail, then this is your sign to break free from quick fixes and embrace a sustainable weight management plan.

A sustainable weight management plan is not about deprivation or extreme measures, but about adopting a healthy lifestyle that supports your overall well-being, and comes from a place of compassion and positivity.
