Cape Town, South Africa – Obesity has become one of the fastest-rising health challenges globally. Forecasts from the World Obesity Federation suggest that by 2035 more than half of the world’s population could be overweight or living with obesity, with the United States experiencing one of the steepest projected increases. In response, weight-management solutions have evolved rapidly, with GLP-1 medications dominating headlines and reshaping expectations around weight loss.
Weight-management science is entering a new chapter. It’s no longer a choice between lifestyle or medication, restriction or surrender. The emerging direction is balance, biology, and personalisation. Metabolic-aligned interventions are opening space for individuals who want results supported by clinical science, without dependency narratives or extremes. For many, this evolving framework represents the first weight-loss model that truly makes sense.
South Africa’s research capabilities rival the most advanced laboratories globally, producing safe, natural, and highly effective metabolic support. This culture of innovation is reflected in BodyBehold Wellness, located in the heart of Cape Town, a city celebrated as a holiday destination for the rich and famous, with frequent celebrity sightings along its iconic beaches and luxury hotspots. Here, science, wellness and lifestyle converge, demonstrating that advanced metabolic research and high-quality clinical application can exist in a uniquely vibrant environment.
“Modern weight management isn’t about quick fixes or extreme measures,” says Michelle Losper, Clinical Wellness Director and Founder of BodyBehold Wellness. “It’s about optimising the body’s natural processes using interventions grounded in clinical research. Supporting metabolism, energy production, and healthy fat processing in a personalised way allows individuals to achieve sustainable results without dependency on any single solution.”
Scientific research highlights the importance of specific metabolic cofactors. Amino acids such as Methionine, Inositol and Choline are key regulators of fat metabolism. Methionine aids the liver in breaking down fats and reducing cholesterol, Inositol stabilises blood sugar and insulin, and Choline facilitates fat transport from the liver for energy utilisation. Vitamins and cofactors like B12 and L- Carnitine further support energy metabolism and fat oxidation, while Lysine helps regulate cortisol, potentially reducing visceral fat accumulation.
Emerging research also emphasises the significance of 24-hour metabolic support. Nighttime interventions can increase basal fat oxidation by up to 25-30%, demonstrating that the body continues to burn fat even during rest. Studies suggest that combined approaches supporting metabolism both during the day and overnight can improve energy balance, reduce appetite fluctuations, and enhance long-term weight management outcomes.
All formulations used at BodyBehold Wellness undergo rigorous clinical testing to ensure safety and efficacy, developed using advanced biotechnology and laboratory processes. By integrating evidence- based metabolic science with practical wellness strategies, these approaches provide a scientifically grounded framework for sustainable, personalised weight management.
