Beyondbmi

Speaking on Down to Business last Saturday, , founder of , shared what makes our approach different.

At Beyondbmi, care is not just about access to a prescription.

Obesity is a chronic condition, which means it often needs long-term, structured support.

That is why treatment is supported by a multidisciplinary team — doctors, dietitians, health coaches and nurses — working together around the individual.

Because long-term health needs more than a one-off piece of care.

In a recent episode of the GLP-1 Digest podcast, Prof. Alex Miras and Ashwin Sharma explore a question that often comes up in conversations about weight loss treatment: what is really happening to muscle?

Prof. Miras highlights an important point. While some changes in muscle mass may be observed, this does not necessarily mean a decline in muscle health.

In many cases, people are becoming more active, moving more easily, and improving their physical function (how well the body performs everyday tasks).

In medicine, conditions such as sarcopenia (a condition defined by both low muscle mass and reduced strength or function) are not diagnosed based on muscle mass alone.

This means that changes in body composition need to be interpreted carefully. What is measured as “muscle loss” may not always reflect a loss of strength or capability.

At Beyondbmi, the focus is on improving overall health and function — not just changes seen on a scan or a number.
