Weight and metabolic health
The medical conversation about weight — without the shouting.
What's going on
Weight is a medical issue with metabolic, hormonal and behavioural drivers — and it deserves the same calm, evidence-led approach as anything else we treat. Dr Chaffee has an international profile in metabolic and preventative medicine.
This is a doctor-led programme: assessment, investigation where indicated, and a plan built on the drivers underneath — metabolism, muscle, sleep, nutrition. Details are discussed in consultation.
This service opens after final clinical sign-off. Enquiries are welcome now via the practice.
Why it happens
- Metabolic and hormonal drivers
- Sleep, stress and nutrition
- Muscle mass and its decline with age
- Medication and health factors
What can realistically be done
Medical assessment
History, examination and investigation where indicated.
A plan built on drivers
Metabolism, muscle, sleep and nutrition — the things that actually move the needle.
What can't
No product names, no promised numbers, no before-and-after photographs — this page deliberately says less than others, and that is by design. The conversation happens in the consulting room.
Who to see
What a first visit involves
