Welcome to Sakinah Health.
I’m Dr. Esra Shermadou, a board-certified physician in obesity medicine and founder of Sakinah Health, a physician-led medical weight loss practice in Ohio.
I help adults lose fat safely, preserve muscle, and improve metabolic health so results are sustainable — not temporary.
On this channel, we talk about:
• Sustainable fat loss
• Muscle preservation during weight loss
• Insulin resistance & metabolic dysfunction
• GLP-1 medications (when appropriate)
• Hormone therapy (evidence-based use)
• Strength training for longevity
This is not about crash diets.
It’s about long-term metabolic health.

Can you REALLY lose 20 lbs after 40? 👀
What’s YOUR biggest struggle with losing weight after 40?
🅰️ Belly fat
🅱️ Slow metabolism
🅲 Hormonal changes
🅳 Staying consistent
🅴 Something else — tell me!
If losing weight suddenly feels so much harder after 40, you’re not imagining it.
You eat less. You exercise more. You try to stay consistent…but the weight still doesn’t come off like it used to.
So let’s talk about it 👇
🎥 I break down how to lose 20 lbs after 40 in my full YouTube video.

The scale going down doesn’t always tell the whole story. 👀
If you’re trying to lose weight, the goal shouldn’t be just a lower number on the scale—it’s about losing fat while protecting your muscle, strength, and overall health.

You’ve probably heard the buzz about Retatrutide. But is it really the next big thing in weight loss? 👀
There’s a lot of excitement—and a lot of confusion—around this medication.
So before you believe the headlines or consider anything being sold online, let’s look at what we actually know from the clinical research.
In my new video, I break down Retatrutide, how it compares with current medications, the weight-loss results, potential risks, and what you need to know about its availability.

Most men I talk to about TRT are surprised to learn there’s more than one way to do it.
Injections get all the attention — but oral capsules, pellets, and gel are all real options, each with its own trade-offs.
Swipe through for what I walk my patients through when we’re deciding together.
Here’s the truth: there is no single “best” option. The right one is the one that fits your labs, your lifestyle, and your goals. And if you try one and it’s not working for you, you can switch.
One more thing that matters: TRT may not be the right option at all if you’re hoping to have children — it carries a real risk of infertility. The good news is there are other things we can try instead to support your testosterone while protecting fertility. That’s a conversation to have before starting, not after.

Most people overcomplicate weight loss.
The truth?
Your body responds to basics done consistently, not perfection done occasionally.

I’m Dr. Esra Shermadou, a board-certified Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine physician and founder of Sakinah Health.
I help men and women:
• Lose fat safely while protecting muscle
• Optimize hormones and metabolic health
• Build a body that supports them for the long term
Because how you lose weight determines how you age.
My approach goes beyond the scale.
Strength training, nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, and hormones are all part of the picture—treated as a connected system, not fragmented care.
When you’re my patient, you have direct access to me.
I’m in your corner between appointments—not just during them.
This is physician-led medical care, personalized for you.
If you’ve been doing everything right but your body isn’t responding—there’s a reason, and we can find it.

Low calories and hard workouts don’t guarantee weight loss for everyone.
When results don’t match effort, it’s not laziness — it’s how the body responds.
Save this. It matters.
