Week Zero: Comprehensive Health Insights
We start with a thorough assessment of your lifestyle and medical conditions, which includes an in-depth review of your daily habits, health history, and any existing medical concerns. This is followed by extensive blood tests and genetic profiling, providing essential insights into your body's current state, such as cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and other vital health indicators, and uncovering any predispositions to certain health conditions.
This detailed analysis allows us to gain a comprehensive understanding of your current health status, enabling us to create a personalized plan that caters to your unique needs and objectives.
Week One: Introduction to your Personalised Treatment Plan
Once we receive your results from the comprehensive health insights, we will develop and share your tailored lifestyle plan specifically for you. This plan will be meticulously crafted using your blood and genetic test results, along with other pertinent data such as your weight, blood pressure, and more. We will also consider your medical history and current lifestyle to ensure the plan aligns with your personal preferences and needs. To ensure you fully understand and are comfortable with the plan, we will schedule a 60-minute virtual consultation. During this session, we will review the plan in detail, discuss and agree on the health goals we aim to achieve, and outline the steps necessary to reach these objectives.
Weeks Two - Eight: Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Each week we will present you with a varied meal plan tailored to your preferences, needs and medical requirements. This is not a diet, in fact our belief is that you should almost always be eating more - but more of the good stuff, not the bad. In addition to the meal plan, we will also work with you on a personalised exercise plan which will consist of a weekly exercise routine to fit your fitness levels and goals, all whilst staying well within your medical limits.
Week Seven: Repeat Blood Tests
By week seven, we would expect to see the positive changes you've made during the program start to reflect in your biomarkers. Follow-up testing is conducted at home to assess improvements in key health indicators like cholesterol and glucose levels. The results are compared to initial tests to evaluate the plan's effectiveness and make any needed adjustments for further health improvements.
Week Eight: Final Review
In our concluding session, we will review the results you have observed and recorded, as well as those from the blood tests, to evaluate the physiological and psychological changes you have achieved. We will evaluate the overall progress and accomplishments throughout the 8 weeks, highlighting successes and identifying any challenges encountered. Finally, we will create a sustainable long-term strategy to preserve and further your health improvements.
Continuous Support Throughout
Dr. Ratnam and his team will be available to you throughout the programme for unlimited support via WhatsApp. Additionally, you will receive a continuous blood glucose monitor and a smartwatch, providing the team with real-time insights into your progress and health metrics.

Who is Dr. Ratnam?
Dr Chandra Ratnam is a GMC Registered Physician with over 20 years experience, integrating clinical expertise with evidence-based research for personalised healthcare.
Dr. Ratnam's philosophy is simple:
Through research and trial and error, I’ve learned the power of personalised nutrition and exercise. As a physician, I know medicines can play a part in living a healthy life, but they often treat symptoms rather than root causes. Lifestyle changes are the medicines to treat the root causes of many health conditions like Diabetes, Heart disease, and Gut Issues.
What is Lifestyle Medicine?
Lifestyle Medicine is a medical approach that focuses on using lifestyle changes to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic diseases. It emphasises evidence-based interventions in areas like nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and avoiding harmful substances. Rather than relying solely on medication or surgery, Lifestyle Medicine encourages patients to adopt healthier behaviours that improve overall well-being and reduce the risk of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. This approach is often used alongside conventional treatments to create a more holistic and sustainable health plan.
What common health conditions do we combat?
Our Program has been shown to help men with any of the following conditions:
- Stress and Anxiety
- Sleep Difficulties
- IBS and Reflux
- High Blood Pressure
- High Cholesterol
- Heart Disease
- Diabetes
- Obesity
How much does the Program cost?
Our eight week program, including all blood and genetic testing, continuous support, 3 x educational sessions and personalised treatment plan costs just £3,500.
Although this is a modest investment for a healthier lifestyle for life, we do provide instalment options to make it more attainable. Furthermore, our program is accessible through various private healthcare plans, including Vitality Health, Aviva Health Insurance, Allianz Worldwide Care, and Preferred Health Care Ltd Insurers.

What are the long-term aims of the program?
Our primary objective is to create a healthy and sustainable lifestyle that allows you to become the healthiest version of yourself for the long term. We collaborate with you to determine your top priority, and the program's goals include:
- Improve Health Outcomes or Reverse Chronic Conditions: If you have been diagnosed with heart disease, hypertension or diabetes, we will strive to reduce the long term impacts of these diseases on your health and possibly even reverse these conditions all together.
- Prevent and Minimise Risk: If you have a family history of heart disease or diabetes, our goal is to lower and manage the risk of developing these conditions while decreasing the reliance on medications.
- Live an Active Life: Continue engaging in activities you love, such as cooking, gardening, and playing with the kids, without being hindered by physical, health, or medical constraints.
- Reduce Reliance on Medications: Aim to use little to no medication.
- Preserve Self-Independence: Remain capable of managing your own needs for as long as possible, without depending on others.
- Share your new lifestyle changes: Pass on the insights gained from the program to your family, enabling them to achieve their optimal health as well.
Our promise to you while on the program
Guided by your blood results, lifestyle and nutrition genetic profiling, and other relevant metrics like weight and blood pressure), we will provide you with a personalised 8-week plan that will:
- Improve Key Health Parameters: Focus on enhancing blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, blood sugar, gut health, and other agreed-upon metrics.
- Identify Health Risks: For those without a diagnosis of diabetes or heart disease, we will conduct a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your risk of developing these conditions. Using advanced blood tests and other specialised data not typically included in standard investigations, we can detect early signs that may indicate you're on the path to diabetes or heart disease, sometimes years before symptoms appear. This early detection allows us to implement proactive strategies to improve potential health outcomes significantly.

- Enhance Overall Wellbeing: Guide you on improving sleep hygiene, stress management, and reducing alcohol and smoking, promoting a holistic approach to health.
- Offer Continuous Support and Accountability: Provide constant support, weekly 30-minute check-ins, and personalised accountability plans to keep you on track.
- Review Medications: Aim to safely reduce and possibly stop medications if medically appropriate and supported by your progress.
