There is a growing epidemic of obesity in the Middle East, including the UAE, where almost 70% of the population is overweight. The prevalence is now increasing even among children. The main reasons are poor public awareness about obesity, easy access to high-calorie processed foods, and a sedentary lifestyle.

   Unverified weight-loss products are promoted in the media, offering easy solutions. Fat-reduction procedures done for quick results usually reduce only superficial fat and are expensive. GLP-1 agonist medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are being misused without proper assessment or indications with inconsistent results. All this waste of money and resources, can be utilized better by implementing evidence-based treatment for obesity.

   We endeavor to achieve this by using valid methods based on scientific studies to conduct proper assessment, treat underlying metabolic dysfunction and use a proper combination of healthy diet, fitness and lifestyle changes for efficient metabolism and long-lasting results.
