1. Comprehensive Health Evaluation: Dr. Charushila begins by assessing each patient’s overall health, including metabolic and hormonal profiles. This evaluation includes:
- Blood Tests: To check for thyroid function, glucose levels, and lipid profiles.
- BMI and Body Fat Analysis: Assessing weight, body composition, and other indicators of obesity.

2. Personalized Treatment Plans: Each patient’s weight loss journey is unique. Dr. Charushila tailors treatment plans based on individual needs, lifestyle, and health conditions. These plans may include:
- Dietary Modifications: Personalized diet plans that focus on balanced nutrition, portion control, and long-term changes rather than fad diets.
- Exercise Recommendations: Developing physical activity programs suited to the patient’s fitness level, with a focus on sustainable lifestyle changes.
- Medications: In cases where lifestyle changes alone are not enough, Dr. Charushila may prescribe medications to aid in weight loss or manage underlying metabolic conditions.
3. Hormonal and Metabolic Therapy: For patients with hormonal imbalances, such as hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or insulin resistance, Dr. Charushila provides targeted treatments to address these underlying conditions. By managing hormonal imbalances, she helps patients achieve better weight control.
4. Behavioral Counseling and Support: Emotional and psychological factors often play a significant role in obesity. Dr. Charushila provides behavioral counseling and guidance to help patients overcome barriers such as stress eating, emotional challenges, and maintaining long-term motivation.
5. Long-Term Monitoring and Follow-Up: Weight management is a long-term commitment. Dr. Charushila ensures that patients receive regular follow-ups to track progress, adjust treatment plans, and provide ongoing support. This monitoring helps patients stay on track and achieve lasting results.
