Obesity is one of the biggest health concerns of modern world. Most of the world's population live in countries where overweight and obesity kills more people than underweight.
In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults (18 years and older) were overweight(WHO). The Health Survey for England (2019) estimates that 28.0% of adults in England are obese and a further 36.2% are overweight but not obese.
Being overweight or obese can have a profound effect on the body both physically and mentally; however, mental health impact of obesity is often neglected.

Weight loss journey starts with a medical consultation and some blood test to look at underlying health issues like thyroid function, diabetes, cholesterol and so on. These health conditions can be treated with medication or life style changes but needs follow up by doctor.
On this journey of weight loss, you have various options. Medgem test helps to determine each individual’s basic metabolic rate. Your body mass index will be assessed and weight goal get discussed to achieve the targets.
