Dr. Tendai Tagarisa is the founder and medical director of The Weight Loss Clinic — a qualified medical doctor with a special interest in obesity medicine, metabolic health, and lifestyle medicine. She established the clinic with one clear purpose: to provide evidence-based, compassionate medical care for people who have struggled to achieve lasting weight loss.
Recognising that most weight loss programmes focus on appearance rather than health, Dr. Tagarisa built a practice that treats each patient as a whole person — accounting for their unique biology, lifestyle, psychological needs, and long-term wellness goals.
