Client Profile

Client 'B' is a 58-year-old male, 1.92 m tall, with a starting weight of 130 kg.

B undertook the DNA Core genetic test, which explained exactly why he gained weight simply 'looking' at food.

Genetic Profile

His genetic profile revealed several key factors:

  • The snacking gene — a genetic predisposition that drives constant hunger and grazing behaviour.
  • Gluten intolerance — an inflammatory response to gluten that was silently sabotaging his metabolism.
  • Compromised PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid) metabolism — meaning his body struggled to process and utilise essential fats correctly.
  • A genetic propensity to inflammation — keeping his system in a chronic low-grade inflammatory state.

The Liver: The Critical Organ in Fat Gain and Fat Loss

The liver is a critical organ in fat gain and fat loss. A fatty liver puts a person into rapid fat-making mode.

Think of it this way: a brown bear can gain up to 10 kg a day before hibernation, eating salmon and berries. Pre-migratory birds gain fat for the long journey ahead. Nature uses the liver as a powerful fat-making engine when it's needed.

While a high-caloric diet can add about 30% more fat to the body, the liver is responsible for a remarkable 70% of added fat. A person with a fatty liver will make and store fat at a rate 3× faster than normal.

The Protocol

In this instance, the client needed to:

  • Cut out beer — essential given his gluten intolerance, which was driving inflammation and metabolic disruption with every drink.
  • Moderate his meals to include as much time between meals as possible, allowing the liver to self-heal. Time-restricted eating gives the liver the window it needs to switch from fat-making mode to fat-burning and self-cleaning mode.

This client was also an excellent candidate for peptide therapy — supporting cellular repair and metabolic function at a molecular level.

He signed up to our special deal which includes a 60-minute massage and ozone sauna each week — designed to:

  • Reduce stress hormones (cortisol being a major driver of fat storage).
  • Augment detoxification through the skin and lymphatic system.
  • Boost the cellular renewal that is critical to metabolic switching.

Results

To date, B has lost 14 kg in 5 weeks and is now looking for a good tailor to adjust a newly purchased wardrobe from Dubai!

We continue to monitor his progress, and his friends are remarking at how young and vibrant he is looking. When the body's metabolic engine is finally working with you rather than against you, the transformation goes far beyond the scale — it shows in the eyes, the skin, and the energy.
