Every person is an individual with a unique composition. Not only will your genetic make-up determine what you look like, but also how your body produces hormones, absorbs nutrients, eliminates toxins and the likelihood of developing certain diseases. Although your DNA cannot be altered, it can be supported through lifestyle changes, a healthy diet and certain nutrients and supplements. Your specific needs can be addressed, and advice regarding your diet, exercise, detoxification and supplements can be personalised, by your Medi-Lean doctor.

Environmental factors will also play a role in your ability to maintain a healthy weight, e.g. if you have to travel a lot, it is more difficult to always follow a healthy diet or to do daily exercises. Problems like insomnia, pain and stress can have a detrimental effect on your health, hormone secretion as well as your ability to absorb nutrients.

As you age, your hormone production changes and the hormone imbalances can affect your health as well as your weight. If these discrepancies are not dealt with, your weight loss will be slower and you will struggle to maintain your weight.
