Loose Weight naturally with the root-cause approach | london Clinic
release weight by addressing hormones & emotional eating.
Can’t stop eating the wrong things? Dieting not working anymore? Feeling super confused on whether you should be low carb or low fat? Just want a quick fix as the constant feeling of guilt, self hate and diet stress is hugely impacting your ability to feel good?
What you’ve been taught about weight loss is wrong. It’s not about willpower or poor food choices. The science shows that weight gain and cravings are driven by imbalances in hormones - triggering emotional eating that hi-jacks brain. This keeps your firmly stuck with inability to stick to diets.
The good news? It’s reversible — and simpler than you think — once you have a clear path.
Our firm goal is to help you end yo-yo dieting and body-image stress for good. This isn’t another fad diet; it’s a sustainable, functional medicine approach to a way of life that naturally releases weight.
Start healing your metabolism today.
For decades we’ve been fed mis-information and half truths about weight loss, blaming poor disciple or character. We strongly want to challenge this. Many of our professionals have cast iron self-discipline and eat very little.
Modern foods are designed to be highly addictive. Having been fed poorly informed science for decades, we’ve allowed starvation type diets to programme our metabolism & brain incorrectly, sinking deeper into feelings of guilt, emotional eating & food addictions.
How some people can eat anything without gaining weight - the Science
Groundbraking science shows us that our digestive system & nervous system (emotions) play a key role in how we eat and how we burn energy. A dysfunctional metabolism drives us to eat more & to want to eat the wrong things (It also drives up inflammation, depression & cholesterol). Loosing weight without correcting the imbalances will be fruitless in the long run, and you’ll be trapped in a cycle of loose, gain & guilt.
Join our liberated professionals, by taking the first step to letting go of dieting, change your relationship with your body & food - easily & for life.
why we get weight loss results where you’ve previously failed.
HOW WE GET YOU LOSING WEIGHT WITHOUT DIETING.
We’ve been told we eat the wrong things because we can’t resist. We’re here to tell you how that’s wrong.
When hormones that regulate our appetite are out of balance, we crave the wrong foods - and we want to eat more. When we say hormones, we mean your stress hormones, your sex hormones - and your appetite hormones - derived from your happy or unhappy digestion.
A Key Imbalance
Insulin (in response to blood sugar) is our ‘burn v. store energy’ mechanism. But when the hormone insulin is constantly pushed to it’s limits by stress, diet and lack of sleep - we become fairly insulin resistant, or tolerant- or we simply have too much of it floating around in the body for too much of the day. This blocks effective fat burning, increases sugar cravings, affects your hormones, brain chemicals and mindset. You’ll feel fatigued, anxious, depressed and with brain fog.
On the diagram on the left, you’ll see the pathway to diabetes and pre-diabetes, also known as insulin resistance. Traditional healthcare has ignored the consequences of this metabolic imbalance for decades - but it’s time we recognise the impact of the early stages of metabolic imbalance - which for most take place before we’re even adults.
By the time you’re insulin resistance - you’re highly addicted to food - or sugar/carbohydrates. We prefer to intervene at a much earlier stage, so if this is you, now is better than ‘sometime later’.
1 in 4 adults* are estimated to have the more severe form of metabolism problems (such as Insulin Resistance), but the number of more mildly effected individuals are unknown
How hormones rule our weight, appetite & emotional eating
Thyroid Hormones
Whether you’re on levothyroxine or have recent bloods indicating concerning, we’ll do a full investigation to ensure thyroid function or Levothyroxine is supported fully nutritionally, to optimise function, reduce fatigue, gut issues and weight gain.
Sex hormones - female
HRT, PCOS and female hormone imbalance can play havoc with your weight. We’ll carry out deeper testing to root out imbalances.
sex hormones - male
We target root-causes of low Testosterone to avoid the need for tricky hormone replacement, fatigue, low mood, weight gain or low libido.
sleep hormone
Sleeping less than what you need has been proven to add weight on. Struggling to sleep? We assess your melatonin and other root-cause factors to help you get better sleep and fight fatigue.
appetite hormones
Hormones that govern how much we eat, like GLP-1, which can be modulated naturally. We use the right foods and a root-cause approach to avoid the need for addictive weight loss jabs and rebound weight gain if you stop.
Insulin
Key hormone in appetite regulation, fatigue and weight control. Insulin is strongly involved in hormone imbalances and PCOS, and forms part of our personalised weight loss blood test assessment.
