In partnership with Kenda Center
Weight and metabolic health, medically supervised
Kenda Center runs a non-surgical, non-pharmacological weight and body-shaping programme in Brussels. VeryPatient adds the medical side of it: an assessment before you start, a doctor to answer to, and your measurements followed over time in your patient portal.
What the programme is
Sessions at Kenda Center use external, non-invasive equipment — nothing is cut, injected or prescribed. What happens between sessions matters as much as the sessions themselves, so the programme is built around measurements taken at each visit and around what you eat and how you move in between.
The medical assessment comes first
Before anything starts, a VeryPatient doctor goes through your history, your current medication and, where it is useful, recent blood work — and tells you whether this programme makes sense for you at all.
No surgery, no weight-loss drug
No operation, no anaesthetic, no prescription for weight loss. If a medical or surgical treatment would serve you better than this programme, that is what we will tell you.
Measured, not guessed
Weight, waist, hips, arms and body composition are recorded at each visit and kept in your VeryPatient portal, so what is happening is visible to you and not a matter of impression.

About Kenda Center
Kenda Center is an independent weight-loss and body-shaping centre in Brussels. The sessions are delivered by Kenda Center; the medical assessment and the follow-up around them are provided by VeryPatient. The two are deliberately kept separate, so that the person judging whether the programme is working for you is not the person selling it.

Five short films produced by Kenda Center, with an English voice-over and English on-screen text. The figures and the claims in them are Kenda Center's own; VeryPatient's part is the medical assessment and the follow-up.

What we can and cannot promise
- Results differ from one person to the next. No one can promise you a number on the scale, a timescale, or that what comes off stays off.
- This is not a treatment for obesity-related disease. Where a medical or surgical treatment is indicated, we will say so and refer you.
- The claims in the film above are Kenda Center's own. VeryPatient's part is the medical assessment and the follow-up — including telling you plainly when this programme is not right for you.
Questions people ask first
Do I have to be a VeryPatient member?
No. You can book the assessment consultation on its own. Members have the follow-up included in their plan.
Is it reimbursed?
The sessions at Kenda Center are not. Your consultation with a VeryPatient doctor follows the usual rules for a medical consultation — ask us and we will tell you what applies in your situation.
Can I do this while I am on medication?
Tell us what you take at the assessment. Some conditions and some treatments change what is sensible here, which is exactly why the assessment comes first.
Where does it take place?
The sessions are at Kenda Center in Brussels. Your consultations with VeryPatient can be online or at the clinic.
Start with the assessment
One consultation tells you whether this is worth your time — and what to do instead if it is not.
