Weight Management: Consultant-led care for sustainable weight and heart health
Losing weight is one of the most powerful steps you can take to improve your health, energy and quality of life. Yet if it were easy, two-thirds of adults in the UK wouldn’t be overweight — and a quarter wouldn’t be living with obesity.
As a Consultant Cardiologist with over 20 years of experience, I’ve helped many people manage conditions such as high blood pressure, heart failure and raised cholesterol. I’ve seen first-hand the impact excess weight can have on the heart — and how achieving a healthier weight can lead to meaningful improvements in confidence, energy and overall wellbeing.
Most people already understand the basics of nutrition and exercise. What’s often missing is the right blend of clinical insight, personalised guidance and ongoing support to help turn good intentions into lasting results. That’s where consultant-led care can make a real difference.

Why My Approach is Different
My work is rooted in evidence-based medicine, but it goes far beyond simply handing out diet sheets or calorie targets. I combine the latest understanding of metabolism and cardiovascular health with practical lifestyle strategies to create a plan that truly fits your life.
That could include:
- A structured exercise programme tailored to your schedule and fitness level
- Practical nutrition guidance that’s realistic and sustainable
- Stress-management techniques to improve mental wellbeing and reduce emotional triggers
- Clinically supervised medical options, discussed where appropriate, to support progress when lifestyle measures alone are insufficient
Because I’m a heart specialist, I can also assess your blood pressure, cholesterol and other cardiovascular markers, ensuring that every recommendation supports both your weight and your long-term heart health. Addressing heart-disease risks also helps lower the likelihood of many other chronic conditions, including diabetes, dementia and certain cancers.
The Power of Healthy Habits
Weight management isn’t just about the number on the scales — it’s about building a lifestyle that helps you feel and perform at your best.
I’m a self-confessed health enthusiast, and I aim to practise what I preach:
- I train most days, balancing strength work, golf, cycling and swimming
- I meditate to keep stress in check
- I cook from scratch, using fresh, whole-food ingredients
- I prioritise sleep, recovery and long-term wellbeing
I don’t expect my patients to live exactly as I do, but I enjoy helping people discover healthy habits that fit their own routines — boosting energy, resilience and heart health for the long term.
Is This for You?
Ultra-processed, highly palatable foods are everywhere, and finding time for exercise is increasingly difficult in our busy lives. Add to that the flood of conflicting lifestyle advice on social media, and it’s hardly surprising that obesity has become a global challenge. We’ve never faced such widespread threats to our health and wellbeing.
When it comes to managing weight, the reality is clear: exercising a lot while eating whatever you like simply doesn’t work. It’s about priorities and balance.
I’m a strong advocate of regular physical activity — the evidence is overwhelming — but mainly for its wider benefits: improving metabolic health, building and maintaining muscle, supporting mental wellbeing, and reducing the risk of conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and dementia.
Every January, countless people make resolutions to live more healthily. I’ve always found it interesting that we wait for a symbolic date to start making changes that could help us feel better right now — and for years to come. Sometimes, all we need is the right structure and a little encouragement.
Whether you:
- Have struggled with your weight for years
- Are concerned about your heart health
- Want to improve your fitness and energy levels
- Or are simply ready to take control of your wellbeing
…I can help you develop a safe, effective and personalised plan that fits your life and supports your long-term health.
