Medical Weight Loss

Anti-obesity injectables are prescription medications given under the skin (subcutaneous) that help with significant and sustained weight loss by acting on appetite-regulating hormones in the brain and gut. Most belong to a class called GLP-1 receptor agonists or dual incretin agonists.

Your consultation with Dr. Basavaraj and a complimentary Body Composition Analysis (BCA) scan. A BCA (Body Composition Analysis) is a quick, painless scan that shows what your body is made of, beyond weight or BMI: skeletal muscle mass, body fat in kilograms and as a percentage, visceral fat around the abdominal organs, total body water, muscle and fat for each arm, leg and the trunk, and your basal metabolic rate (the calories you burn at rest). It uses bioelectrical impedance: a safe, very low electrical current passes through hand and foot electrodes and the machine computes your composition in about 60 seconds. Dr. Basavaraj uses these numbers to build your personalised plan.

Yes. Dr. Basavaraj G S practises at Shashi Advanced Health and at Narayana Health, and he leads Equa Health, an endocrinologist-led obesity and medical weight loss clinic.
