Weight Loss Nutritionist Singapore
If you’ve tried countless diets, calorie apps, or gym programmes and nothing seems to “stick,” you’re not alone. Most people don’t struggle with weight because of a lack of willpower — they struggle because their biology has shifted, and the old methods no longer work.
As a functional-medicine-trained naturopath and nutritionist in Singapore, I help people uncover the deeper reasons behind stubborn weight gain: hormones, inflammation, gut health, micronutrients, stress metabolism, and even genetics. When we address the root causes gently and systematically, weight begins to move — consistently and sustainably.
Whether you’re dealing with hormonal changes, stress-related eating, or midlife metabolism shifts, you deserve a way of losing weight that feels clear, doable, and kind to your body.

Why Work With a Functional-Medicine Nutritionist for Weight Loss?
Weight loss is not just about eating less and moving more.
Your body is a complex system — and many factors influence how it regulates weight:
-
Hormone Balance: Oestrogen, progesterone, insulin, cortisol, and thyroid hormones all shape how your body stores fat, manages cravings, and burns calories.
-
Gut Microbiome: Bloating, inflammation, and dysbiosis affect digestion, cravings, and metabolic rate.
-
Stress Physiology: Chronic stress disrupts cortisol, sleep, and blood sugar — all of which can stall weight loss regardless of diet.
-
Micronutrient Deficiencies: Low magnesium, iron, vitamin D, B vitamins, and amino acids can slow metabolism and affect energy.
-
Genetics: Variants related to fat metabolism, appetite, sweet preferences, carb tolerance, and inflammation may explain longstanding struggles.
-
Emotional and Behavioural Patterns: Rushed meals, reward eating, emotional numbing, and “busyness eating” often reinforce weight patterns.
The Lūmi·ya approach integrates all of these layers — because true transformation rarely comes from one factor alone.
My Approach: Evidence-Based,
Personalised & Gentle
At Lūmi·ya, weight loss is never about punishment or extreme restrictions.
It is about understanding your biology and supporting your metabolism through personalised, achievable steps.
1. A Comprehensive Functional Assessment
We start by exploring your symptoms, diet, lifestyle, sleep, digestion, mood, and health history.
If relevant, I may recommend advanced functional tests such as:
• Hormone Testing
To understand adrenal patterns, reproductive hormones, cortisol rhythm, and how your hormonal shifts may be affecting weight, sleep, cravings, and metabolism.
• Gut & Microbiome Testing
To check digestion, inflammation, infections, dysbiosis, enzyme function, and microbiome balance — all of which influence cravings, bloating, inflammation, and weight regulation.
• Metabolic & Nutritional Panels
To evaluate nutrient sufficiency, antioxidant status, amino acids, organic acids, mitochondrial function, and metabolic markers that affect energy, appetite, and fat burning.
• Genetic Testing
To understand your unique predispositions related to weight, fat metabolism, carbohydrate sensitivity, inflammation, detoxification, hormones, and nutrient requirements.
• Food Sensitivity Testing
To identify immune or inflammatory food triggers that may be contributing to bloating, cravings, water retention, inflammation, or weight stagnation.
These tests help us understand why your body is holding onto weight — instead of guessing.
2. Personalised Nutrition — Not a One-Size-Fits-All Diet
Each plan is designed for your biology, preferences, and cultural food patterns, focusing on:
-
balancing hormones
-
supporting the gut
-
stabilising blood sugar levels
-
reducing inflammation
-
increasing metabolic flexibility
-
simple, nourishing meals that fit into daily life
This is real-world nutrition — flexible, supportive, and sustainable.
3. Lifestyle Shifts That Support Metabolism
We weave in gentle, science-backed practices such as:
-
mindful eating
-
breathwork for stress regulation
-
circadian + sleep support
-
nervous-system calming
-
simple movement rituals
These micro-practices do not overwhelm your schedule, yet they create significant physiological impact over time.
4. Sustainable Supplements (Only When Needed)
I use high-quality supplements selectively to support:
-
insulin sensitivity
-
cortisol balance
-
thyroid + adrenal support
-
liver detox pathways
-
inflammation reduction
-
gut repair
-
micronutrient replenishment
All recommendations are short-term, therapeutic, and personalised — not long-term dependency.

How My Work Differs from Health Coaches Dietitians & General Nutritionists
Most nutrition or weight-loss guidance focuses mainly on calories, macronutrients, or basic diet adjustments.
This includes many health coaches, general nutritionists, and even some dietitians, whose frameworks are centred on food-based coaching, standard dietary models, and behaviour change.
While this can be helpful for general wellness, it often does not explain the deeper biological reasons behind stubborn weight, digestive symptoms, hormonal shifts, or chronic inflammation.
My approach combines:
-
clinical-grade functional testing
-
root-cause analysis
-
hormone + gut repair
-
metabolism optimisation
-
gentle lifestyle medicine
— providing insights and strategies that go far beyond standard nutrition, dietetic, or coaching models..
