Can I do the protocol online?

Yes, and that is how most of our patients do it. You send your lab results electronically, receive your plan and changes the same way, and stay in touch with the team through the app. You only come in person when an examination or a body composition measurement is needed.

Are lab results required?

Yes. Without them we don't know what we are solving, so the plan would be no different from general advice. If you don't have them, we'll tell you exactly which ones to do and where.

I'm on therapy, is that a problem?

No. Therapy is one of the data points we start from, because it affects both what you eat and when. The doctor on the team takes it into account when writing the protocol, and the doctor who prescribed it remains your doctor.

How long does a protocol last?

Twelve weeks, with a follow-up every seven days. The plan changes after each follow-up based on what happened in between, so what you have in week five looks nothing like the plan from day one.

What happens after the consultation?

We tell you whether we can help and which protocol is an option. If we decide we are not the right place, we'll tell you that too, and point you to where is.

Atika Health | Specialist centre for metabolic conditions

Specialists don't talk to each other.
Ours have to.

When you have several problems at once, everyone prioritises their own piece. The dietitian focuses on nutrition and puts it on a pedestal, the doctor puts all the focus on diagnosis and therapy, the trainer sees you through your discipline in training, and the psychologist through your mental health. Yet the pace of modern life means all of these areas are connected. Stress leads to overeating, overeating to health problems, health problems to exhaustion, exhaustion to skipped workouts. That is how a vicious circle forms, one that is very hard to break with willpower alone. So we brought healthcare professionals together, motivated them to work as a team under one roof, and to give patients a shared, synchronised solution that takes every aspect of your life into account at once.

It all starts with lab results.

Two people with the same diagnosis rarely have the same lab results. One has Hashimoto's alongside insulin resistance, for another high cortisol makes losing body fat harder, while a third has normal results but struggles with poor digestion, bloating and heartburn. The same word on the chart, three different bodies. That is why we don't hand out template meal plans and don't reduce a person to a diagnosis. We connect lab results with complaints, goals and symptoms and, food by food, habit by habit, build a protocol for each person individually.

The night window

3 in 10 people stray from the plan most between 9 and 11 pm. That is why dinner in an Atika protocol is there to prevent hunger attacks, snacking and night-time overeating.

Monitoring every 7 days

If a patient is given a meal plan and the follow-up is booked a month later, the risk of giving up triples. That is why our follow-ups, online too, happen every 7 days.

Practical before ideal

2 in 3 patients don't give up because of hunger, but because they lack the time to prepare meals. That is why, for us, a practical routine beats a nutritionally perfect one.

Symptom map

Every client logs the intensity of hunger, complaints and changes each day, from bloating to sleep. After two weeks these are no longer impressions but a pattern, and we adjust the routine by that pattern, not by feel.

Yo-yo is no accident

7 in 10 people regain the weight if weight loss isn't matched by a change in habits. That is why we build nutrition and training, but most of the work goes into habits, because they stay when the programme ends.

You know what to do. It isn't working.

9 in 10 people know what they should eat, but not how to pull it off alongside two jobs, three kids and a hundred obligations. That is why a mentor isn't there to judge, but to show you shortcuts, adjust your routine and make the process easier.

Zero influencers, zero campaigns, 150,000 patients.

We don't buy reviews and we don't pay for media attention. Friends, mums and colleagues see our members' transformations and get in touch; doctors notice their patients' better lab results and refer them to us. Search online and you'll find seven articles in fifteen years and not a single influencer, but at least someone around you was once our member.

167 hours between follow-ups.

A follow-up lasts an hour, a week lasts 168. The app is for the 167 hours the team doesn't see: hunger at 10 pm, five hours of sleep, bloating after lunch that is forgotten by the next follow-up. You log it when it happens, and it reaches the team before you do.

So a follow-up doesn't start with "how did it go", but with an analysis of what was logged, and your time with the team goes into solutions rather than retelling the week.
