The Challenge

After seeing for herself the results of a DrLifeMedicine treatment plan in a previous patient,  Patient V, female in her mid-50’s, contacted the clinic wanting to lose weight. Before contacting the clinic, Patient V had tried almost every weight-loss programme out there, including a personal trainer, but the weight still would not budge.

As a strong independent woman, Patient V wanted to take control of her weight.

Patient V also reported feeling tired, mentally foggy, and worried about her borderline high blood sugar, which her GP advised her was approaching pre-diabetic levels.

Following our consultation and initial blood investigations, I discovered that for over 10 years, Patient V was also living with daily indigestion, heartburn, and bloating. Despite trying conventional medicine under the guidance of her GP and various holistic remedies, her discomfort never truly went away.

“I honestly thought this was just what happens in your 50s. I’d accepted that this was my body now — and that nothing would change.”

What We Did Together

Over 11 weeks, we worked together and followed a completely personalised treatment plan, based on Patient V’s blood results and Lifestyle.

What made this programme different?

• Her food diary and symptoms were reviewed in real time, so we could adjust as needed.
• During our weekly 1:1 video consultations, Patient V  would ask questions about the real-time changes/updates/amendments to her treatment plan. Through medical education, Patient V was able to understand what her body needed to succeed.
• Daily support – I was Patient V’s accountability partner, offering medical reassurance and support when needed. No question was ever silly or too small.
• We focused on improving Patient V’s digestion, hormone balance, and blood sugar using a meal plan consisting of only nutritionally rich foods.
• The programme was designed and supervised entirely by a UK-trained, GMC-registered doctor (me)

Together, we aimed to:

• ALIGN her nutrition with what worked for her body and lifestyle
• OPTIMISE how her body functioned — digestion, blood sugar, energy, and hormones
• MINIMISE her need for prescription medications and expensive supplements
