If the scale won't budge even though you're trying, it's not just a willpower issue. It's about hormones, sleep and genetics.
The root causes of overweight are usually biological: insulin resistance, leptin, thyroid, cortisol, sleep and genetic background. In clinic we map, medically, what is keeping your weight up, and build a personal 30–90-day programme. Where warranted, we also support with medication — including GLP-1, thyroid correction or other clinically justified medicines — always under a doctor's supervision.
„Weight loss can feel impossible on your own. But when we understand what is actually happening in your body, we can start changing it together.
— Dr Saadi
You are not alone
First we listen, then we measure, then we help
Our clinical programme doesn't start with a diet. We start with listening and measuring — your hormones, sleep, stress and genetics. Only then do we build a plan that works for your body.
Book a consultationWhy weight stays
Six biological reasons ordinary diets miss
Without understanding these, weight often stays put even when you're "eating right".
Insulin resistance
High insulin blocks fat burning. Without assessing it, a nutrition plan often falls flat.
Leptin and appetite
In leptin resistance the brain doesn't "hear" satiety — hunger persists after meals.
Thyroid and cortisol
Hypothyroidism and chronic stress slow metabolism and drive abdominal fat.
Sleep and circadian rhythm
Under 7 hours of sleep raises hunger hormones. A plan without sleep doesn't work.
Genetic background
MC4R, FTO, APOE and other variants shape satiety, appetite and lipid metabolism.
Medications and history
Some medications, PCOS, menopause and chronic inflammation obstruct weight loss and need clinical evaluation.
How we work
Three steps to your personal plan
Crash diets promise miracles. Our approach promises thoroughness and support that lasts.
Listen and map
History, labs, body composition, genetic test when warranted.
Build a personal plan
Nutrition, sleep, training, stress regulation. When warranted — medication (for example GLP-1, thyroid correction or other clinically justified medicines).
Support for 30–90 days
Repeat labs, adjustments, feedback. The programme ends when weight is steadily coming down and markers have improved.
What we offer
Clinical services that support lasting change
Every step is personalised and overseen by a doctor.
Consultation with Dr Saadi
History, biomarker interpretation, plan. 45–60 min. Remote or in person.
Open: Consultation with Dr SaadiLab panels
Insulin, HOMA-IR, HbA1c, lipids, ApoB, thyroid, hormones, inflammation markers. In partner centres.
DEXA scan
Precise fat and lean mass, visceral fat, bone density. Baseline and follow-up.
Genetic test (TellMeGen)
MC4R, FTO and other weight-related variants plus nutrition and training background.
Open: Genetic test (TellMeGen)Medication monitoring
When a drug is clinically justified — whether GLP-1, thyroid correction or another preparation — we handle prescription, titration, side-effect monitoring and a plan after therapy.
Guided follow-up
30–90 days of structured follow-up: repeat labs, adjustments, reports.

Is this for you?
Who this programme fits and who it doesn't
We'll be honest: this is not a crash diet. But if you're ready to look at your health as a whole, it may be exactly what you need.
Fits if
- You have over 3 kg to lose and standard diets have not held
- You suspect insulin resistance, thyroid or hormone factors
- You want a clinical plan, not generic nutrition advice
- You are considering medication (including GLP-1) and want it under clinical supervision
- You have comorbidities: fatty liver, high cholesterol, prediabetes, PCOS
Doesn't fit if
- You want a crash diet for a week or two
- You want only a medication prescription without labs and a plan
- You expect generic nutrition coaching with no clinical assessment — the Academy educational programme fits better
Academy
Looking for an educational programme, not a clinical consultation?
If you want to learn how weight loss works biologically — without personal clinical responsibility — see the Academy educational programme. Videos, e-materials, community and a structured challenge. It is not medical treatment; it is a course.
- Video lessons on the biology of nutrition, sleep and stress
- E-book and workbooks
- Community and a structured challenge
- A fit if you have no medical complaints and want to drive it yourself
