At Enara Health, we celebrate the incredible journeys of our patients as they work toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. This month, we’re thrilled to spotlight Hamid Khatibi from our San Mateo clinic—a dedicated father, avid book reader, and lover of nature—who has made remarkable strides on his weight loss journey.
A Lifelong Learner with a Passion for Exploration
Hamid is a man of many talents and interests. With three PhDs, two master’s degrees, and a bachelor’s degree under his belt, his curiosity and drive for learning are truly inspiring. When he’s not diving into books or listening to podcasts, you might find him hiking through nature alongside his beloved pets: a Pomeranian and three beautiful cats who, as he jokingly says, “own him.”
Facing Challenges and Finding Solutions
Like many others, Hamid’s weight gain was worsened by the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. An additional 30 pounds brought on knee pain, sleep difficulties, high blood pressure, and liver enzyme concerns, prompting him to take action. Recognizing that his journey required support, Hamid turned to Enara Health after researching solutions online. “It’s an uphill battle that can’t be won single-handedly,” he shares. “I needed help, and there’s no shame in that.”
The Power of Teamwork and Support
Hamid credits much of his success to the unwavering support of his Enara Health team, particularly Dr. Alexander, whose guidance has been instrumental in his journey. “This is an important journey that can’t be taken alone,” Hamid emphasizes. “The continuous support I’ve received has been crucial.”
Insights and Advice from Hamid
Throughout his journey, Hamid has gained valuable insights that he hopes will inspire others:
- “Make muscles! Don’t just go on a diet; focus on building muscle.”
- “Change your habits while using medication.”
- “Be conscious of your calorie intake.”
Celebrating Victories Beyond the Scale
Hamid has achieved incredible milestones, including an impressive 70-pound weight loss, which represents 28% of his total body weight. Since starting with Enara Health, he has also celebrated:
- Significantly lower blood pressure
- Iconic low LDL and triglycerides
- Improved liver enzyme levels
- Resolution of sleep apnea
- Increased energy levels
- Relief from knee pain
- An overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment
These non-scale victories are a testament to Hamid’s dedication and the effectiveness of Enara’s comprehensive approach to weight loss and health.
A Journey of Strength and Transformation
Hamid’s story reminds us of the power of resilience and the importance of seeking support when embarking on a transformative journey. His determination to prioritize his health, coupled with the collaborative care he’s received from Enara Health, has led to life-changing results.
To anyone considering a similar path, Hamid’s message is clear: “This is a journey worth taking. Don’t hesitate to reach out for help. Together, you can achieve amazing things.”
