Feeling Heard by Your Doctor
Shouldn’t Be a Luxury
You're not broken. You're not imagining it.
Something shifted in your body — and no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to get it back.
You’ve been disciplined. You’ve restarted more times than you can count. You’ve eaten less, moved more, said no to things you love — and still, the scale barely moves. Still, the exhaustion is there when you wake up. Still, you catch yourself in a mirror and barely recognize the person looking back.
At Sakinah Health, the first thing I want you to know is this: if what you’ve been doing isn’t working, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means something hasn’t been addressed yet — and that’s exactly what we’re here to find.
Why Sakinah Health Is Different
This isn’t med-spa weight loss. This is medical care that actually looks deeper.
At Sakinah Health, we don’t hand you a protocol. We look at what’s actually standing in the way — your metabolism, your hormones, your labs, your sleep, your stress, your muscle, your medications, your history. All of it. Because the reason weight loss has stalled is almost never just one thing, and the solution can’t be either.
Lasting change means protecting your muscle while you lose fat. It means understanding your hormones. It means having a physician who explains what’s happening in your body in plain language.

Dr. Esra Shermadou
Dr. Esra Shermadou is a board-certified Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine physician — but what sets her apart isn’t just her credentials. It’s that she has lived the other side of health.
After navigating her own cancer journey, Dr. Shermadou didn’t just recover — she rebuilt. Strength training, hormone health, nutrition, and intentional living became not just her clinical tools, but her personal ones. She knows firsthand what it means to fight for your body, learn how to trust it again, and build something stronger on the other side.
That experience changed the way she practices medicine. At Sakinah Health, you will never be handed a generic plan and sent on your way. Dr. Shermadou sits with the full picture — your hormones, your labs, your sleep, your stress, and the season of life you’re in — because that’s the only way to build something that actually lasts.
Her patients aren’t just looking to lose weight. They want to feel like themselves again. To move through their days with energy. To stop dreading the mirror and start feeling proud of how hard they’re working — and finally see it pay off.
That’s the work Dr. Shermadou shows up for, every single day.
How it Works
You do not have to figure this out on your own. We’ll help you understand what is happening in your body and build a plan that fits where you are right now.
1. Schedule a Consultation
Tell us what has been going on, what you have tried, and what you want to feel like again.
2. Get a Whole-Body Evaluation
We look at your history, symptoms, labs, body composition, hormones, lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, stress, and goals.
3. Begin Your Personalized Plan
Together, we build a physician-led plan focused on weight loss, metabolic health, hormone support, strength, and long-term confidence.
You’ve been patient long enough.
If you’ve spent months, or years, trying to figure out why your body isn’t responding the way it should, you don’t need another plan to white-knuckle your way through. You need someone to actually look at what’s going on.
That’s what Sakinah Health is here for. When you’re ready, we’ll start at the beginning — together.
