Services

At Westminster Multi Specialty Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, our Family Medicine Department provides personalized programs for managing obesity and supporting safe, sustainable weight loss. Excess weight is more than a cosmetic concern — it increases the risk of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and joint problems.

Our family physicians focus on long-term health, offering medical guidance, nutrition counseling, and lifestyle support to help patients achieve lasting results. Learn more about our full Family Medicine Services.

Understanding Obesity

Obesity occurs when excess body fat affects overall health and wellbeing. It is often measured using body mass index (BMI), but waist circumference, lifestyle, and family history also play a role. Contributing factors may include:

• Poor dietary habits or high-calorie intake
• Sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise
• Hormonal or metabolic conditions (e.g., thyroid imbalance)
• Genetic predisposition
• Emotional or stress-related eating

Obesity can be managed with the right medical and lifestyle interventions.

Signs You Should Seek Support

You may benefit from a weight management program if you:

• Have a BMI over 30, or overweight with additional health risks
• Struggle with fatigue, breathlessness, or joint pain due to excess weight
• Have related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol
• Experience difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise attempts
• Notice emotional challenges such as stress eating or low self-esteem
