Published: Last updated: Lasting, healthy weight management
Losing weight is not just about counting calories; metabolism, insulin resistance and lifestyle habits need to be assessed together. We support healthy weight management with personalised protocols and supportive treatments such as ozone therapy and glutathione.
All traditional and complementary medicine methods used at our clinic are approved by the Turkish Ministry of Health. Complementary methods do not replace existing medical treatment; they support it.
What is healthy weight management?
Healthy weight management is based on lasting lifestyle change rather than short-term diets. Metabolic rate, hormones, insulin resistance, sleep, stress and eating habits should all be assessed together.
At our clinic we approach weight management not only through the scales but through overall health and quality of life.
Common complaints
- Being unable to lose weight despite dieting
- Frequent hunger and sugar cravings
- Drowsiness after meals (may be a sign of insulin resistance)
- Localised fat
- A cycle of losing and regaining weight
Possible causes
- Insulin resistance
- Thyroid disorders
- Hormonal changes
- Lack of sleep and stress
- A sedentary lifestyle
- Irregular eating
Our approach
Insulin resistance, thyroid function and vitamin and mineral levels are assessed with blood tests.
A personalised programme combines a nutrition and activity plan, acupuncture to support appetite control, ozone therapy and IV drips, and local mesotherapy if needed. The goal is healthy, sustainable weight loss.
