Metabolic health describes how your body handles blood sugar, stores fat and uses energy. When it changes, weight may change too, along with appetite, energy or sleep. Metabolic health care in Dubai with Dr Fouzia starts with a medical review rather than a diet sheet, because the right plan depends on what is happening in your body.
A medical review can look for factors that may affect weight or appetite before building a plan. Dr Fouzia reviews these alongside your routine, food preferences and health history.
