"Obesity is not your fault—it's a disease that requires scientific treatment." On May 12, 2025, The SinoUnited Health Weight and Metabolism Management Center was inaugurated in Shanghai. Bringing together a world-class multidisciplinary medical team and integrating cutting-edge global medical technologies and therapeutic solutions, the center aims to provide scientific and precise care for patients suffering from obesity, overweight issues, and related metabolic diseases.

As a leading name in international health management, SinoUnited Health Weight and Metabolism Management Center not only attracts many local patients but also serves global clients. Among them is Hollywood's former Warner Bros. President of Worldwide Theatrical Distribution and Marketing, Edward Frumkes, who successfully lost 82 pounds at SinoUnited Health and transformed his life from the shadow of obesity to vibrant health.

Obesity Is a Disease That Requires Scientific Intervention

The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified obesity as a chronic disease, and research has shown that it is closely linked to the brain's appetite regulation mechanisms. China, one of the fastest-growing countries in terms of obesity prevalence, faces severe health risks and social costs due to this epidemic. Weight loss is not just about "slimming down"; it is a critical measure to extend life expectancy and improve quality of life.

SinoUnited Health approaches obesity as a disease and provides "one-stop weight management" services that focus on scientific evaluation and precise intervention. These services include the following key pillars:

• Comprehensive endocrine assessment to analyze the root causes of weight issues.
• Personalized treatment plans, including tailored medication, nutrition, and exercise programs.
• Dynamic monitoring and follow-up to prevent weight rebound and establish long-term health management solutions.
• Digital health support through AI-powered technology to track patient data in real time and provide personalized guidance.
• Evidence-based treatment options, ranging from nutrition management, drug therapy, and traditional Chinese medicine to psychological intervention, interventional procedures, and weight-loss surgery.

Case Study: A Hollywood Success Story – Edward's 82 Pounds

Edward Frumkes, a prominent figure in the film industry, has been a patient of SinoUnited for over 6 years. After retirement, he decided to reside in Suzhou, appreciative of the peacefulness compared to his life back in Hollywood. At the opening ceremony, he shared his transformative journey:

"Obesity once caused me anxiety and guilt, but SinoUnited Health helped me understand that it's a disease rather than a personal failure. It took the blame away from me ,or at least it lessened the blame."

With the guidance of their professional team, I successfully lost 82 pounds and developed a healthy lifestyle. The doctors here don't just focus on the numbers on the scale— He looked at my kidney health , my heart health , all kinds of other things that are very important to my own well being."

Frumkes emphasized the distinction between unregulated methods of weight loss and professional medical care: "In Hollywood, many people take risky weight-loss drugs for short-term results. But at SinoUnited Health, the entire process is formulated by doctors who have devoted their lives to this, ensuring both safety and sustainable health improvements. Now that's true professional medical service!"
