ABOUT DR. RAJ 🩺
Hi, I’m Dr C. Rajeswaran (known as Dr. Raj), Consultant Endocrinologist (Hormone specialist) and a Bariatric (Obesity) physician working in the UK and India. I am also serving as the Medical Director and Co-Founder of Simplyweight.
I have been working in the field of Obesity for the last 20 years, having managed thousands of patients in the UK and worldwide.
Losing weight is a sensitive issue. People who are overweight or obese have several medical and psychological issues. It is not only important to lose weight but also be happy, healthy and confident.
Each one of us has a different genetic makeup, environment, likes and dislikes. So, any weight loss plan should be personalised to your needs.
Through this KZbin channel, I want to help people understand their own body, their hunger and metabolism. This will help them achieve a healthy weight and a good quality life.
The internet contains a huge amount of (mis)information about weight loss. I want to ensure that the right, evidenced based guidance reaches people so that they do not subject their body to unnecessary and dangerous weight loss interventions.
