Before we begin.

Exercise and nutrition matter. Medical risk also needs medical assessment. Abdominal obesity is associated with cardiovascular and metabolic risks that cannot be judged from fitness or appearance alone. American Heart Association

Our role is to bring your medical history, blood pressure, relevant measurements and investigations together, explain the findings and advise treatment where appropriate. Weekly doctor reviews over six calendar months let us observe your response and reconsider the plan.

A gym, a wellness service or a product purchase is not the same service. They may complement your care; they do not replace this medical assessment and follow-through.

You may already have a doctor you trust. But when a particular concern needs closer attention, you look for someone who focuses on that problem.

That is the role of The Pot Belly Clinic. Our focus is abdominal obesity and associated metabolic health risks: understanding what your pot belly may signal, deciding what needs attention and reviewing your response over six months.

You keep your existing doctor. We bring a focused medical approach to this particular part of your health, with weekly consultations and decisions informed by your progress.

Our service is medical assessment and ongoing review, not a supplement package. We investigate what needs attention and explain which interventions, if any, are appropriate. That includes advising whether a supplement has a place in your care and reviewing its use alongside your other treatment.

The Clinic does not sell supplements. If one is recommended, you choose an appropriate independent provider and pay them directly.

Someone else’s experience can start a conversation. It should not become your prescription. Medicines and supplements can cause side effects or interact with what you already take; “natural” does not automatically mean safe. FDA guidance

Weight-loss injections also need medical assessment, appropriate prescribing and ongoing supervision. Do not start one or change your dose based on someone else’s experience; discuss it with your prescriber. MHRA guidance

Before starting, ask: Do I need it? Is it suitable for me? What dose and monitoring are appropriate?

Start with the person, not the product. At The Pot Belly Clinic, we assess first, explain the options and review your response. The question is not simply what you can buy, but what you actually need.

The fee covers six months of medical assessment, personalised treatment advice and repeated review, including an initial assessment followed by weekly 30-minute online doctor consultations. We establish your starting point, agree measurable priorities and adjust your care according to your response.

You are paying for medical judgement and follow-through, not a medicine bundle or a promised result.

That is reassuring. We assess those results alongside your waist measurements, blood pressure, medical history and other relevant findings. The assessment determines whether treatment or further review is appropriate; a pot belly alone does not establish that you need either.

No. We assess what treatment you need. Medicines may be appropriate, but are not the starting assumption. Medical advice may also address eating and activity, with attention to what you can sustain. This is not a diet, fitness or daily lifestyle-coaching package.

Some medicines have benefits beyond weight loss: semaglutide reduced major cardiovascular events in the SELECT trial among people with established cardiovascular disease and overweight or obesity, without diabetes. That finding does not establish the same benefit for every patient or for this programme. SELECT trial, NEJM

Then maintaining improvement deserves attention from the start. We review previous treatments, what changed when they ended and what made the plan difficult to sustain. Maintenance and follow-up are part of the medical discussion, not an afterthought.

Some people need longer-term treatment. Completing six months does not automatically mean stopping medication.

Enjoying food belongs in the discussion. Your doctor considers your preferences, usual eating patterns and relevant medical needs when advising changes you can sustain. If you need specialist nutrition support, that can be discussed separately; daily meal coaching is not included.

Tell us about your travel before agreeing the plan. Consultations are online, and your doctor can discuss practical steps for treatment, eating, activity and follow-up around your schedule.

Appointment availability and any location-related restrictions should be checked with the team before travel. Basic coordination is included on request, subject to availability.

Before you enrol, you will know who is responsible for your care, their qualifications and how your reviews will work. Not every consultation will necessarily be with Dr Rajan. Other appropriately qualified doctors may participate, supported by a shared clinical record and handover.

Read about the medical approach and Dr Rajan.

It is reasonable to ask for evidence before deciding. Ask the team what documented Clinic results are available. Any examples should identify the starting point, treatment and timeframe, and be shared only with appropriate patient consent.

We do not present illustrative photographs or results from medicine trials as outcomes achieved by this Clinic. Your own goals follow your assessment; actual progress is reviewed against your starting point.

Yes. The full six-month programme fee is ₹300,000. Tests, scans, medicines, supplements and other independent-provider costs are separate and paid directly by you.

Your doctor explains why an investigation or treatment is recommended. Independent providers confirm their charges before you proceed. Basic coordination is included during active participation under either payment option.

We review your progress and agree next steps: what you can manage independently and what still needs medical follow-up. Where appropriate and with your permission, relevant information can be shared with your existing doctor.

Continued Clinic care is optional and discussed separately. The current maintenance option is ₹25,000 per month, including four 15-minute online consultations.

The aim is to identify and address relevant health risks before they are left unattended, while following your response to care. This is proactive medical care, not a prediction service or a guarantee against a heart attack or stroke.

Your assessment determines what treatment or further clinical evaluation is appropriate. If you have urgent symptoms, seek local medical care rather than waiting for a programme appointment or WhatsApp reply.

Yes. Obesity, diabetes and vascular or hormonal conditions can be associated with erectile dysfunction, but there are other possible causes too. NIDDK

Bring concerns about sexual function, libido or reproductive health to your doctor. They call for individual assessment, not an assumption or an over-the-counter solution. Read the medical context.

No. It is for adult men and women, including younger adults. Suitability is assessed individually.

No. Start with a WhatsApp message. Existing reports and the need for any investigations can be discussed during assessment.

The six-calendar-month programme includes an initial medical assessment followed by weekly 30-minute online doctor consultations while you participate. Appointment arrangements are agreed before enrolment.

WhatsApp is the starting point for enquiries and basic arrangements. Clinical messaging availability, service hours and response times have not yet been specified in the offer and will be confirmed before enrolment. Do not assume the programme includes instant or round-the-clock doctor messaging.

WhatsApp is not for urgent medical care. If you have urgent symptoms, seek appropriate local medical help rather than waiting for a message reply.

When the necessary information has been reviewed and the doctor is clinically ready.

Yes. Consultations are online.

No. Do not change prescribed treatment unless advised by the responsible prescriber. Bring your current medication details to the assessment.

Not necessarily. Medicine choice depends on clinical suitability, not a standard package. Some patients may need ongoing treatment.

Basic assistance is offered on request, at no additional charge during active participation. The team may help with recommended appointments, investigations and reports, subject to availability. It is not a dedicated concierge service.

Independent providers charge you directly. See the scope of practical help.

Sometimes. Collection or delivery depends on suitable independent providers in your area and what is clinically appropriate. Ask the team about availability.

No compulsory lifestyle-tracking system is part of the offer. Your doctor may ask for relevant medical measurements.

The six-calendar-month programme is ₹300,000 paid at commencement, or you can begin at ₹60,000 per calendar month. At the end of Month 1, you may stop, continue monthly or pay ₹250,000 to complete the remaining five months.

Conversion totals ₹310,000; six separate monthly payments total ₹360,000. Basic care coordination is included during active participation under either option. Independent provider costs are separate.

Optional maintenance is ₹25,000/month, including four 15-minute online consultations. View participation and fees.

No. Goals are agreed individually and actual response is reviewed over time. Desired Outcomes and Demonstrated Results are kept distinct.
