Insulin Resistance Testing
Fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and HOMA-IR calculation to evaluate metabolic resistance.
Visceral Fat & Liver Evaluation
Abdominal ultrasound to detect non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and visceral fat distribution.
Cardiovascular & Lipid Profiling
Full lipid panel, high-sensitivity CRP, and renal screening to assess overall cardiovascular risk.
Specialized Treatment & Care Approach
Evidence-based medical management tailored after detailed report evaluation, physical history, and patient goals.
Endocrine Cause Correction
Targeted medical correction of underlying thyroid deficiency, cortisol excess, or hormonal imbalance.
Metabolic Pharmacotherapy
Doctor-guided anti-obesity medications targeting appetite centers, satiety pathways, and glucose absorption.
Insulin Sensitizing Support
Evidence-based therapy to lower circulating insulin levels and facilitate body fat utilization.
Structured Lifestyle Guidance
Personalized macronutrient distribution, physical exercise prescriptions, and sustainable habit formation.
Reports to Bring for Your Consultation
Bringing your recent diagnostic reports and medication history helps ensure a comprehensive first visit evaluation.
Structured Follow-Up & Monitoring Timeline
Long-term hormonal health requires organized re-evaluations to ensure lasting stability and safety.
Metabolic Adaptation Check
Monitor weight response, medication tolerance, and blood pressure changes.
Glycemic & Weight Re-Audit
Evaluate percentage of body weight lost, waist circumference reduction, and fasting glucose.
Lipid & Fatty Liver Re-Screen
Repeat lipid profile, liver enzymes, and assess metabolic improvement.
Long-Term Weight Maintenance
Establish long-term weight preservation strategies and prevent metabolic regain.
