Why The MELT Method?

Most weight management programs miss the mark.

The problem with quick fixes: they offer short-lived results and ignore the holistic journey to lasting health.

They’re too expensive. Programs are valuable investments, but their pricing can restrict access for those in need. They’re just meds. Some focus solely on drugs, ignoring the importance of lifestyle and behavioral changes. They’re short-term. Programs fail to teach self-reliance, creating dependence on temporary solutions instead of fostering lasting change. They don’t change your mind. Mental health is frequently ignored, despite its crucial role in successful weight management. They lack personal coaching. Personalized guidance is often absent, making it difficult to navigate the path to sustainable weight loss. You can’t ‘keep going.’ There's a lack of long-term support, leaving individuals without help after initial progress.

Thoughtfulness

Weight management is as much about mindset as it is about physical health. Our program emphasises the importance of self-awareness, self-compassion, and positive thinking in achieving lasting results.

Through mindfulness techniques, cognitive-behavioural strategies, and personalised coaching, we help you cultivate a mindset that fosters success and resilience.

Dr. Rishi Handa

Designed by a real physician, not a marketing team.

Drawing on years of expertise (and happy patients), The MELT Method revolutionizes the approach to sustainable weight loss.

Dr. Handa is a superb clinician. Very friendly and easy to talk to. He doesn't make it intimidating to talk to a medical professional. I wish more docs were like him. I have lost over 100 lbs with the help of Dr. Handa. He is great, very motivational, and understanding at the same time. Love his staff as well! Dr. Handa is an angel. So easy to speak with. I always have to tell myself to stop talking when I have appointments with him. It's like catching up with a friend. Poor thing doesn't even cut me off, haha!!! Dr. Handa saved my life in the ICU a few months back. I am so thankful for his care. He is a kind and smart young man. I was blessed he and his team were there for me. Dr. Handa took the time to listen to me and truly understand what I have been going through. I already feel better. He is such a kind human being and I am so happy to see his ratings on this website. He deserves to be recognized. I love the way he explains things. Dr. Handa is a very smart and caring doctor. He really helped me get my diabetes, thyroid and weight controlled. I love how he explains everything. I had my sister and niece also referred to him and they are also very happy. He took care of my daughter in the ICU. Very thorough and kind physician. He saved her life from DKA. He and the ICU nurses were excellent and I recommended them highly. I was recently referred to Doc Handa for my diabetes management. I couldn’t be more happier with the care and compassion out of this mans office. He listens. He cares. This is what doctors should strive to be. Give the guy an award already. Dr. Handa is a fantastic doctor. Polite, smart, caring, respectful. His staff is also amazing. From the moment I came into the office I knew something was different. Everyone was so attentive. They treated me like I was the most important person there. Gem of a doctor and great human being! Dr. Handa is such a good explainer. I was never told what my condition entailed and even what my disease process was going to be like by any of my other doctors. He took his time to explain everything to me and made sure I understood. He is a real team player and encourages me every time I see him. I am blessed to have him as my specialist. Dr. Handa is a very bright and caring doctor. You will be in very good hands if Doctor Rishi Handa is your specialist. He has helped me with my obesity and is my diabetes specialist. Super easy doc to talk to as well. I feel very comfortable with him. Doctor Handa is my diabetes specialist. I was sent to him for insulin. I was very afraid of this. Not only did Doctor Handa avoid insulin, he got me on alternative newer medications. My sugars are now controlled, I feel healthy, and my family doctor is very pleased with me. We are so happy to have Doctor Handa. Bless this man and his beautiful family. Doctor Handa is one of the most caring doctors I have ever met. Genuine person who really cares. My husband and I are happy to call him our specialist. My husband went undiagnosed for months before Dr. Handa helped us. Very bright young mind. We are so very lucky to have him. One of the most amazing Doctors I have ever seen. Never undermined what I was saying. He listens intently and is genuine. He is amazing!! He is definitely a rare find and so glad I have met him. He is one of the most intelligent and down to earth doctors I have ever met. He takes his time to listen and make things really easy to understand. He also communicates very well with other doctors which I see rarely now with some docs. Glad to have him as my doctor!! My doctor referred me to see Dr. Handa for chest pain. Not only did he find a blockage in my heart but he also listened to everything (stress) that was going on in my life. He's a genuine person that is there to listen to his patients. Thank you, Dr. Handa. Dr. Handa is one of the most caring physicians I've seen in a while. I usually don't rate things online, let alone docs. Great guy and highly recommend him to all my friends and family. Love this doctor. He's funny and caring. He explains everything in detail. He checks and then he double checks if I understand the plan. He is going to be a famous doctor pretty soon. I just feel it. God bless him. five stars
