What patients should realistically expect

Recovery takes time

Most chronic conditions need 6–12 weeks of consistent care for clear change.

Lifestyle matters

Sleep, diet and stress affect outcomes as much as medication.

We deliberately avoid success-rate claims. Outcomes vary — your doctor will give you a personalised view.
