Women’s Weight Management

Based on your assessment, our healthcare professionals will develop a personalised weight management plan tailored to your goals and preferences. This will include a range of strategies designed to work for you, as we understand that what is effective for one woman may not provide the same results for you.
Dietary counselling is aimed at promoting balanced nutrition. The doctors at Prema Health provide personalised guidance on nutrition, tailored to your health goals and needs. Our experts assess your current diet, provide education on balanced eating, and offer practical strategies to support healthy eating habits for optimal wellness and weight management. Recommending an increase in physical activity or exercise programs, can work alongside a balanced diet to ensure the body uses up the energy, and excess fat, in the body. Behavioural strategies can support lifestyle changes, and if appropriate, medical interventions or medications to assist with weight loss.

Losing weight can lead to numerous health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, better blood sugar control, reduced joint pain, increased energy levels, and enhanced self-esteem. It can also lower the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall quality of life. Our holistic approach emphasises sustainable lifestyle changes that promote long-term weight loss and support your journey towards a healthier you.

Weight management at Prema Health extends support to women who need assistance in both losing and gaining weight, depending on individual health needs. Some women may struggle with conditions such as being underweight due to metabolic issues, eating disorders, or medical treatments affecting appetite. Our approach addresses these challenges by providing tailored nutritional counselling, personalised meal plans, and lifestyle recommendations to achieve a healthy weight. Gaining and maintaining a healthy weight can improve energy levels, enhance immune function, support hormonal balance, and promote overall well-being, ensuring women achieve optimal health outcomes.

At Prema Health, we prioritise your health and well-being by providing compassionate care and evidence-based strategies to help you achieve your weight management goals. Whether you’re looking to lose weight or gain weight for health reasons, improve fertility outcomes, or enhance your overall quality of life, our dedicated team is here to support you every step of the way. Together, we can create a personalised plan that empowers you to make positive changes and achieve lasting results in your weight management journey.

Being overweight and underweight both pose significant health implications, each associated with distinct risks and related conditions.

Excess body weight increases the risk of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), cardiovascular disease, stroke, and certain cancers (e.g., breast, colon). It can also lead to metabolic syndrome, characterised by insulin resistance, abnormal blood lipid levels, and central obesity. Being overweight puts stress on joints, contributing to osteoarthritis and reducing mobility. Moreover, overweight individuals may experience psychological impacts like low self-esteem and depression due to societal stigma.

Insufficient body weight can lead to malnutrition, weakened immune function, and increased susceptibility to infections. Women may experience menstrual irregularities or amenorrhea, impacting fertility and bone health. Underweight individuals may also face deficiencies in essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals, leading to fatigue, muscle weakness, and impaired cognitive function. Chronic undernutrition can hinder growth and development in children and adolescents, affecting physical and cognitive development.

Both conditions necessitate personalised approaches to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, emphasising balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and supportive healthcare guidance to mitigate associated health risks effectively.
