Psychotherapy of
eating habits

About the procedure

We invite you to explore our Course of Group Psychotherapy, which focuses on the Correction of poor Eating Habits to create a new, healthier eating- and lifestyle. For many people, poor eating behavior leads to the accumulation of extra weight, which they struggle to get rid of. Our doctors found that there are multiple root factors that cause people to become overweight or obese. These are Psychological, Social, Metabolic, Anatomical and Environmental Aspects.

Not addressing these factors simultaneously explains unsuccessful weight loss results using different diets, exercise, food supplements or slimming medications.

Patient Testimonials

"I needed to lose 21kg. I didn’t want to go through surgery, so I decided to go through the Medical Weight loss program with Psychotherapy and calculation of calories. I lost 15kgs."

  • I lost 25 kg and am comfortably maintaining the results

    Ms. Faith. L.
    I tried many different methods for weight loss (in America, Canada, South Africa, Kenya) but my extra weight did not go. Since childhood my self-esteem was really low, in school children called me different names, and it was embarrassing for me to be obese and to hear those comments. I started Medical weight loss in 2004 and within the few days I felt that I was already losing weight. I lost 25 kg and am comfortably maintaining the result for 3 years. I am very grateful to Dr. L. Shchukina. My life has completely changed.

  • With Psychotherapy and calculation of calories. I lost 15kgs

    Mr. Brian Wilson
    "I needed to lose 21kg. I didn’t want to go through surgery, so I decided to go through the Medical Weight loss program with Psychotherapy and calculation of calories. I lost 15kgs. I am very happy with MYSELF because in the past I had tried to lose my weight using various methods (dieting, exercises and medications) but nothing ever worked. Dr. Lyudmila has been very patient and I am very happy I came to her. My thoughts on food have started to change and I’ve stopped thinking about food in the obsessive manner I did before. My colleagues at work look at me in wonder, and my family has seen a massive change in my confidence and attitude towards life. I never heard of her method before and had some reservations before undergoing the Psychotherapy, but it really has changed my whole mindset and the mindset of my whole family."
