⭐ What makes us different

Most GLP-1 programs start with the injection. We start with your body.

Before any medication is introduced, we spend four weeks preparing your gut and metabolism — the Gut Reset phase. The result: better tolerance, fewer side effects, and results that last.

Weekly support throughout:
Weekly 1:1 Functional Nutritionist Consultation (In-Person / Online)
WhatsApp Monitoring and Support
Nurse-assisted injection support
Proactive side effect prevention
Dose titration based on your response
Week 0
Phase 1 — Baseline Assessment and Enrollment
Comprehensive in-person consultation at Arka Anugraha Hospital. Full systems-biology assessment covering your metabolic phenotype, medication review, and contraindication screening.
  • Weight, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure
  • Body composition (BIA) and heart rate variability
  • Medication review & contraindication screening
Weeks 0 – 4
Phase 2 — The Gut Reset (What most programs skip)
Before any medication is introduced, we spend four weeks preparing your body. This is the reason our patients tolerate the medication so well and see lasting results.
  • Low glycemic, high phytonutrient nutrition plan tailored to you
  • Protein anchoring and fibre ladder initiation
  • Resistance training minimum 2–3 times per week
  • Time-restricted eating (where appropriate)
  • Constipation prevention protocol started proactively
Week 4
Phase 3 — Decision Point
Your doctor reviews your gut response, glycemic safety, and readiness. GLP-1 is only initiated when your body is ready — not on a fixed schedule.
Weeks 4 – 12
Phase 4 — Intervention Phase
Medication prescribed and adjusted by an expert doctor, administered by Staff Nurse.
  • Weekly 1:1 Nutritionist Consultation (In-Person / Online)
  • WhatsApp Monitoring and Support
  • Gut support (fibre, reflux management, hydration) maintained proactively
  • Lean muscle preservation actively tracked and supported
Week 12
Phase 5 — Review & Maintenance Planning
Doctor reassesses outcomes and plans the maintenance phase for ongoing support.

Why our patients rarely experience the nausea you have read about.

<1 in 10
Patients in our cohort report nausea.
That is not luck. The nausea and fatigue that make people quit are largely the result of starting in an unprepared body, at too high a dose, too fast. Our protocol addresses this at every stage.
🌿
Foundation First
Four weeks of gut reset, diet quality improvement, and hydration before any medication begins.
📉
Lowest Effective Dose
We titrate based on how your body responds — not on a fixed escalation schedule.
🔬
Proactive Constipation Prevention
A structured fibre protocol (psyllium, PHGG, inulin, acacia, resistant starch) starts before symptoms appear — not after.
🍽️
Reflux & Nausea Education
Smaller meals, slower eating, and meal timing adjustments built into coaching from day one.
📲
Weekly Follow-Up
Early signals caught and addressed before they become reasons to stop.

Clinically appropriate. Prescribed only after full evaluation.

Depending on your clinical profile, comorbidities, and tolerability, your doctor may prescribe:

Ozempic
Injectable semaglutide
GLP-1 Agonist
Wegovy
Injectable semaglutide — weight-loss formulation
GLP-1 Agonist
Mounjaro
Tirzepatide — dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist
Dual GIP/GLP-1
Mounjaro is not included in the program fee and may be added separately based on patient requirement and clinical recommendation.
⚠️ All medications are prescription-only and selected by your doctor after a full medical assessment. No medication is dispensed without consultation.

Answers to what patients ask most.

A prescription alone gives you the medication. This program gives you four weeks of gut and metabolic preparation before the medication, weekly 1:1 nutritionist support during it, proactive side effect prevention, dose titration based on your response, and a structured maintenance plan at the end. The medication works significantly better — and is significantly better tolerated — with this level of support around it.
Not necessarily. After your initial consultation and metabolic workup, your doctor will recommend the pathway that is right for you — lifestyle-first, or GLP-1-supported when clinically indicated. Some patients do well on the Foundation Program alone.
GLP-1 medications are clinically approved and widely prescribed globally. Every patient is screened for contraindications before any medication is introduced. Your safety is the first checkpoint in this program.
Most patients do not. The goal of this program is to use GLP-1 as a bridge while your metabolic function and lifestyle habits are rebuilt. Maintenance duration and structure are decided together with your doctor at Week 12, based on your individual response and need.
Yes, for now. Doctor consultations are in-person at Arka Anugraha Hospital. Weekly nutritionist follow-ups are available in-person or online. Pan-India expansion is planned — stay tuned.
No. Labs are recommended based on your clinical profile and billed separately. Your doctor will guide you on exactly which tests are needed at enrolment.
Yes. Speak to us on WhatsApp or fill in the form on this page and we will share payment plan options tailored to your situation.
Most weight loss programmes address diet and exercise in isolation. Our program brings together a 10-member medical team — including doctors, nutritionists, a physiotherapist, a psychologist, a yoga specialist, and a care manager — who work in sync. We run a full metabolic workup before recommending any pathway, and every aspect of your protocol is medically supervised. This is structured clinical care, not a general wellness plan.
HRV (Heart Rate Variability) Coherence Training is a clinically validated technique that teaches your nervous system to shift from a stress-dominant state to a coherent, regulated state. Chronic stress is one of the most underestimated drivers of weight gain and metabolic dysfunction — it elevates cortisol, drives fat storage (especially visceral fat), impairs insulin sensitivity, and fuels emotional eating. By addressing the stress-metabolism link directly, we make everything else in the programme work better.
The vagus nerve is the primary communication pathway between your gut and your brain. When vagal tone is low — as it is in most people with metabolic dysfunction — appetite regulation, digestion, and inflammation control are all impaired. Vagus nerve stimulation techniques improve gut motility, reduce systemic inflammation, support the gut-brain axis, and help regulate hunger hormones. It is a non-invasive, evidence-supported modality that complements the clinical and nutritional aspects of the programme.
Far Infrared (FIR) Sauna uses specific wavelengths of light to generate deep tissue warmth — different from conventional saunas. In the context of a metabolic weight loss programme, FIR sauna supports cardiovascular conditioning (similar in some respects to moderate exercise), assists in toxin elimination via sweat, improves circulation and cellular metabolism, and supports parasympathetic recovery. It is used as a complementary modality alongside — not instead of — the clinical core of the programme.
The weekly group session is led by one of our experts and covers a rotating curriculum of topics — habit formation, emotional eating, stress management, sleep optimisation, and more. These sessions create a structure of accountability, peer support, and evidence-based education that significantly improves long-term programme adherence. Many patients find this one of the most impactful elements of their experience.
At Week 12, your doctor conducts a full reassessment of your outcomes — weight, metabolic markers, body composition, and response to the protocol. Based on this, a maintenance plan is designed specifically for you. Some patients taper off medication at this point and continue on a lifestyle-based plan. Others benefit from an extended phase. There is no single template — the plan is personalised to your individual need and response.
Yes. PCOS is one of the conditions this programme is specifically designed to address. The programme tackles insulin resistance, hormonal dysregulation, gut health, and chronic inflammation — all of which are central to PCOS-related weight gain. Many patients with PCOS find that the metabolic and lifestyle approach in this programme delivers results that diet alone has not been able to achieve. Your doctor will assess your clinical profile in detail before recommending any specific pathway.
