Weight Management
in Dubai
A medical review, not a crash diet. Weight is shaped by many things besides willpower, including sleep, stress, hormones, medicines, blood sugar and daily routines. Dr Fouzia is a consultant family physician who offers a weight management programme in Dubai. It starts with a medical review of your metabolic health, then builds a realistic plan around food, movement and habits, with Calm Mind Sessions skills to help you keep it going when life gets busy.
What the programme looks at.
The medical review first.
Weight gain can sometimes be linked to conditions such as thyroid disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance or some medicines. Dr Fouzia reviews your history and arranges tests only where they would change your care.
What to expect from a doctor-led approach.
A doctor can look at your weight alongside your health conditions and medicines, set safe goals and tell you when weight is not the main problem. The aim is steady, sustainable change, not a fixed number or a fast result. No programme can promise a specific amount of weight loss.
What the programme includes.
The programme is built around your history, preferences and goals, and adjusted at each review.
A first consultation covering weight history, health, routine and goals
A medical review, with blood tests only where they would help
A nutrition plan built around your preferences, culture and schedule, with no extreme diets
Movement guidance suited to your fitness and any health conditions
Calm Mind Sessions skills for habits, motivation, stress eating and self-criticism
Follow-up reviews to track progress and adjust
Your safety comes first.
Seek urgent care for chest pain, severe breathlessness, fainting, or signs of a very low food intake such as dizziness and palpitations. In the UAE, call 998 for an ambulance If you have thoughts of harming yourself or cannot keep yourself safe, call 999 or go to the nearest emergency department.
