Doctor-Led Weight Loss
& Metabolic Clinic

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) therapy uses hormone-based medication that reduces appetite, slows digestion, and improves insulin sensitivity. It is the most clinically validated pharmacological intervention for obesity and metabolic disease currently available.

GLP-1 medications mimic a natural gut hormone that signals fullness to your brain, stabilises blood sugar, and reduces cravings, particularly for high-fat, high-sugar foods. At HealthX, GLP-1 therapy is always combined with medical oversight and lifestyle support.

Common side effects include nausea, reduced appetite, and mild gastrointestinal discomfort, especially in the first few weeks. These typically resolve as the body adjusts. Our specialist monitors dosage and manages any side effects throughout the programme.

GLP-1 therapy is not for everyone. It is medically indicated for patients with a BMI above a certain threshold combined with metabolic risk factors, or for those who have not responded to lifestyle and nutrition interventions alone. Your doctor will advise after a full assessment.

We design every GLP-1 programme to build durable lifestyle habits so the results are maintained after the medication phase. Graduates move to the Maintain programme for ongoing support and monitoring.

Start with a free consultation. Our GP will review your health history, current symptoms, and goals, and recommend the programme most aligned with your medical profile. You are never pushed towards a higher-tier programme than you need.

Yes. If your progress, medical results, or circumstances change, your doctor can recommend moving to a more or less intensive programme. Switching is managed clinically, not commercially.

Both are non-medication pathways. Reset focuses on nutrition coaching and lifestyle changes over 8 weeks. Deep Reset adds food psychology, emotional eating support, and behavioural coaching, designed for patients who have tried and relapsed on conventional programmes.

Our entry-level Start programme is KES 5,000 for a single session with a full metabolic baseline. Our other programmes are priced based on duration, level of specialist involvement, and type of support. We share the full cost during your free consultation, before you commit to anything.

Yes. We understand that investing in your health is a significant commitment. Flexible payment options are available for multi-week programmes. Speak to our team during your consultation for current options.

Programme fees cover all scheduled consultations with your care team, lab test interpretation (not lab draw costs), and ongoing digital support. Additional lab draw fees and any prescribed medications are billed separately and transparently.

Your first visit is a 20–30 minute conversation with a HealthX GP. We discuss your health history, current concerns, and goals. We are not selling you a programme; we are trying to understand you. You will leave with a clear picture of our assessment and a recommended pathway.

The initial 20-minute discovery call is free. An in-clinic consultation with a full metabolic baseline (body composition, key blood markers, and a detailed clinical review) is the Start programme at KES 5,000.

Yes. The majority of our follow-up consultations, check-ins, and programme support are delivered via telemedicine. Patients across Kenya can access the full Reset, Deep Reset, and Maintain programmes remotely. The Medical Reset and GLP-1 Reset require at least one in-person visit to Nairobi.

The Start programme gives you a full medical baseline and a personalised strategy for KES 5,000. Many patients find this gives them the clarity to make significant changes independently. If you need more support than you can currently afford, we will be honest about what is and isn't possible.

Most patients report improved energy and sleep within the first 2–3 weeks, before the scale moves significantly. Measurable weight change typically begins by week 4–6. Metabolic marker improvement (glucose, blood pressure, lipids) is visible in lab results by month 2–3 for most patients.

No. Diets are temporary. HealthX programmes address the underlying hormonal and metabolic factors that make conventional dieting ineffective for most people with metabolic syndrome. Nutrition is one part of a medically supervised, multi-disciplinary programme.
