Weight Management

At the Harley Street Health Centre, we do not believe in fad diets, difficult   regimes or complicated eating programmes. We understand that there are often many issues at play – from emotional triggers to physiological causes.

Learn about Metabolic Syndrome

We believe:

• That all possible reasons for weight gain or unexplained loss should be fully investigated in advance of any weight management programme
• That very often, there is a physiological reason behind food choices and eating habits, linked with an emotional element that creates a negative cycle of behaviour
• That you should see an experienced doctor with a background in nutrition in an educated, informed, no-nonsense approach.
• That you should be treated as an individual and never patronised.
• That you should never be rushed in developing a programme that suits you and your lifestyle to help make sure results are long term.
• In understanding your goals and your needs.
• In making sure there are no hidden health issues, such as a sluggish thyroid or hormone-relate issues, at the root of the problem.
• That it is vital to address any emotional or cognitive issues through support from our experienced therapist, working together with you to develop a healthy relationship with food and eating.

We will support you every step of the way.

 

The Harley Street Health Centre is also home to the best personal trainers London has to offer and uniquely provides a private gym within our building for one-to-one sessions. Appointments can be arranged following your consultation.

Metabolic Syndrome

A number of our patients have been diagnosed with “metabolic syndrome”.  Metabolic syndrome presents as a number of symptoms, including an inability to process sugars and starches that turn to sugars in the body. To add insult to injury, a person with metabolic syndrome craves what ails them – sugar.  This in turn results in weight gain that becomes very difficult to shift without proper guidance.
