How
We Started?
Ahmad had been coming to the pharmacy for years. At first, it was occasional — something
for joint pain, something for stress. Over time, the visits became more frequent, and the
medications heavier.
As an MNC executive, his days were filled with travel, late dinners, and client meetings that rarely ended early. Gradually, his weight increased, his gout worsened, and his knees began to ache even with short walks. Diclofenac became a regular part of his routine — not because it solved the problem, but because it helped him get through the day.
When his HbA1c reached 10.6%, it was no longer something that could be managed quietly. Gaffer told him what had been on his mind for some time: medication alone was buying time,
not health. His kidneys were already under strain.
Because Gaffer had known his family for years, Ahmad trusted him enough to try something
different.
The first month was difficult.
Changing long-standing habits while maintaining a demanding corporate role was harder than either of them expected. Business dinners, smoking cessation, fatigue, and mental fog tested his resolve. There were moments he wanted to stop — especially when pain flared as he began moving again.
What made the difference wasn’t willpower alone. It was support. A doctor provided clinical
oversight through lifestyle medicine as his metabolic markers improved, while a pharmacist guided the use of appropriate supplementary aids and safe medication deprescribing.
Meanwhile, a psychotherapist helped him manage stress differently, a dietician navigated his real-world dining challenges, and a trainer adjusted his movements so his joints could heal rather than worsen.
By 90 days, the changes were clear. Ahmad lost 10kg, his HbA1c improved to 7.9%, and he no longer smoked. More importantly, he felt capable again — not perfect, but in control.
REMISI was born from that experience. Not as a program, but as a response to a pattern that kept reappearing: people didn’t lack motivation — they lacked a system that worked with their lives, not against them.
Remisi by
The Lagom Clinique
REMISI is a programme developed under The Lagom Clinique, a lifestyle medicine practice grounded in the belief that sustainable health change happens when care is balanced, practical, and rooted in real life.
Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based approach that uses comprehensive lifestyle changes to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic disease by addressing root causes rather than symptoms alone. While “prevention is better than cure” is often said, it is not always practised. At The Lagom
Clinique, this principle forms the foundation of care.
Our approach is guided by the core pillars of lifestyle medicine- what we call the 6 S’s:
- Savour (nutrition)
- Start Moving (physical activity)
- Sleep
- Stress management
- Substance cessation
- Social connectivity
These are not extreme interventions. They are everyday behaviours. Yet small, consistent changes in these areas can transform metabolic health and overall wellbeing.
The name Lagom comes from the Swedish word for balance - not too much, not too little, but just
right. This reflects how we practise medicine: measured, sustainable, and centred on the whole person.
At The Lagom Clinique, we focus on making meaningful changes in the present so our patients can
build healthier futures. REMISI is one of the ways we bring that philosophy to life- combining clinical
oversight, behavioural support, and structured guidance to help people reclaim control of their health.
