A physician-led approach to weight loss.
Dr. Raythaan Addinall trained in medicine at Stellenbosch University and has built his practice around what he calls a precision-first model of care: detailed history-taking, baseline biomarker review, careful prescribing, and longitudinal follow-up.
Outside of MediFit Clinic, Dr. Ray is the driving clinical force behind a private concierge-style health practice in Cape Town focused on preventive medicine and longevity. His patients include executives, athletes and high-performing professionals — people who expect attentive, considered care and zero administrative friction.
For MediFit Clinic, that philosophy translates into a deliberately small GLP-1 panel. Every patient is seen personally on video, every prescription is hand-titrated, and every adjustment is signed off by Dr. Ray himself.
Three principles guiding care
Precision before intervention
Where labs are available we review them — fasting insulin, thyroid markers, lipid profile — to ensure GLP-1 is the right lever for the patient in front of us, not a default answer.
Longitudinal over one-shot
Weight loss medication only works alongside steady, monitored adjustment. Every patient is reviewed monthly, with messaging access in between for issues that come up.
Patient as principal
You own your treatment plan. We share every rationale, every dose change, and every option. No locked-in contracts, no upselling.
Clinical interests
- Metabolic health and insulin resistance
- Hormone optimisation (men and women)
- GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy
- Body composition over BMI
- Targeted supplementation protocols
- Longevity-oriented prescribing
"Weight loss medication is a tool, not a verdict. My job is to make sure it's the right tool — used carefully, alongside someone who knows your body."
— Dr. Raythaan Addinall, MBChB
