Nutrition coaching
We tailor meal patterns to reduce side effects and support sustainable change.
Expectations
Weight changes are gradual; adherence and lifestyle remain central to success.
Safety & interactions
- GI effects (oily stools, urgency) are common; adhering to a lower‑fat diet reduces issues.
- Supplementation with fat‑soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) may be advised—take at a separate time.
- Contraindications (e.g., chronic malabsorption, cholestasis) are reviewed.
Use medicines exactly as directed. Never share prescription medication.
