Combination Therapy

By definition, chronic diseases will eventually get worse over the course of time, and hence require a "step-up" or intensification of therapy. Obesity and metabolic ill-health are NO exception.

Similarly, a person living with a chronic disease will need to get to know their disease really well and learn to "manage" it for the rest of their lives. This includes identifying "triggers" or "high-risk" situations, which may lead to a relapse. The good news is YOU don't have to do it alone! Dr Rigas has nearly 20 years in managing people living with obesity and/or metabolic ill-health and has been advocating and educating other healthcare professionals about the importance of developing an "ACTION-plan" with and for their patients living with obesity and/or metabolic ill-health. By being on-top of it and having an "ACTION-plan" in place for when early signs of a relapse/possible relapse occur, results in better health outcomes for YOU.

When people experience a set-back in their obesity and/or metabolic health AND follow the personalised ACTION plan and see an experienced doctor, there may be the need to step-up/ intensify treatment until things become more manageable.
