Frequently Asked Questions

Your program includes:
We specialise in reversing and improving:
Pre-diabetes/Diabetes and blood sugar issues
Non-optimal cholesterol and blood pressure
Fatigue, poor sleep, brain fog
Gut issues such as reflux and bloating
Midlife hormonal changes (perimenopause, menopause)
Weight gain that hasn’t shifted with other programs
Most patients see changes within 2–4 weeks — more energy, better sleep, and weight loss. By the end of 8 weeks, blood results typically show measurable improvements in metabolic and cardiovascular health.
Every patient is seen by Dr Chandra Ratnam, a GMC-registered UK physician with over 20 years of experience in the NHS and a background in pharmaceutical drug development. You will not be handed over to non-medical staff.

At the end, you’ll receive a comprehensive progress report and recommendations for next steps. Many patients choose to continue in our follow-up program (monthly or quarterly check-ins) to stay accountable and build on their results.
The full 8-week program costs £3,500. This includes all consultations, WhatsApp access, glucose monitors, and advanced blood tests. There are no hidden fees.
Yes — we provide tailored programs for corporate teams and professionals, as well as private groups (e.g. sports clubs, business networks). Please contact us to discuss bespoke packages.
Alongside the core program, I also offer:
Standalone blood tests (metabolic, hormonal, gut health, advanced panels)
Body scans (DEXA, ultrasound, and imaging via accredited partners)
Corporate wellness programs for executive teams and businesses
One-off consultations for patients who want medical interpretation of existing blood results or lifestyle guidance
These services are usually integrated into or alongside the 8-week program, but can be arranged separately if needed.
