Dr. Samila Asad

I had an appointment with Dr Asad to discuss diagnoses, ongoing issues and recurring symptoms. She really listened and acknowledged how I was feeling. It was such a relief to have the opportunity to give my medical history in an unrushed manner, and to have someone look at things holistically. We discussed next steps in terms of treatment and follow-up. I felt part of the decision-making. Really approachable and professional.

Dr Samila is excellent. She is kid, supportive and helpful at every stage. I lost over 3st in 8 months on a 2.5mg dose of mounjaro but for me the injections were a support tool rather than a magic fix. The biggest difference came from changing my lifestyle and routine alongside the medication. I committed to exercising every morning for 30–40 minutes, gradually increasing the intensity whenever it started to feel easier. Over time I introduced weights and eventually a weighted vest, which really helped improve my fitness and consistency. I now weight train each evening as well. I also completely changed my eating habits. Instead of overeating in the evenings, I started taking a third of my dinner to work for lunch the next day. I added plain pea protein powder and fibre husk to help keep me full and support better nutrition. The combination of better habits, structured exercise, improved portion control, and consistency is what made the real difference. Mounjaro helped control cravings and supported the process, but changing my lifestyle is what made the results consistent.
