Holistic Weight Loss Programme
A nurse-started, doctor-led programme that works on the real reasons weight will not shift, from hormones and metabolism to appetite.
An ongoing, reviewed programme tailored to you rather than a fixed number of sessions.
What it is
The Holistic Weight Loss Programme is a medical programme for weight that has stopped responding to diet and effort. It is started by our nurses and led by Dr Frances Pitsilis, and works across six elements: diet and lifestyle; gut function; balancing hormones, including the thyroid; control of hidden insulin resistance and diabetes; natural appetite suppression; and, where medically appropriate, weight reduction injections. Because the programme is medical, each element is guided by assessment and testing rather than guesswork.
Who it suits
Suited to people whose weight will not shift despite genuine effort, or who suspect something underneath, such as hormones, thyroid or insulin resistance, is getting in the way. It is a considered medical pathway, not a quick fix, and no particular outcome is promised.
Benefits and results
- Looks for the medical reasons behind stubborn weight, not just calories
- Six elements: diet and lifestyle; gut function; balancing hormones including thyroid; control of hidden insulin resistance and diabetes; natural appetite suppression; and weight reduction injections where appropriate
- Nurse-started and doctor-led, with testing to guide each step

What to expect
You begin with a nurse consultation to map your history, lifestyle and goals, with blood testing arranged where useful. Dr Frances reviews the medical picture, and your plan is built from there, combining diet and lifestyle changes with treatment of any hormonal or metabolic factors found. Progress is reviewed over time and the plan adjusts with you.
