Background
Dr. Melody Kasapov is a medical weight loss doctor at The Body Clinic and assesses whether treatment with weight loss medication is medically justified and appropriate. She studied Medicine at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam and has a background in dermatology, minor surgery, and cosmetic medicine. In addition to her work at The Body Clinic, she is active as a cosmetic doctor and trainer in injectables. She obtained a certificate in lifestyle medicine through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and is daily involved in following scientific developments within lifestyle medicine. She also published scientific research in ENT medicine.
Approach
Melody approaches health holistically, not from isolated parts. In her work, she sees that lifestyle forms the basis for both weight and overall health, where factors such as nutrition, exercise, environment, hormonal balance, sleep, and stress are closely interconnected. Due to her background in dermatology, she often sees what is happening in the body manifested on the skin. This helps her look beyond just the symptoms and better understand the underlying issues.
Practical Expertise
What distinguishes her approach is that she not only approaches this vision from medical knowledge but also actively applies and deepens it. This makes her knowledge practical. She is intensively involved in nutrition, hormonal regulation (cycle syncing, TRT, HRT), and lifestyle, continuously following new insights, both scientific and practically applicable. Additionally, she has a strong athletic background, with over 10 years of experience in combat sports and 15 years of strength training, supplemented by reformer Pilates and HYROX. This combination of medical knowledge and personal experience gives her sharp insight into what is effective, but also what is realistic and sustainable.
As a doctor, she makes a careful and well-founded assessment, looking at what is medically responsible AND genuinely effective in the long term. She wants the treatment to be lasting. Her approach is clear and direct, with great attention to the patient. She listens carefully to what someone wants and needs and translates this into an approach that is not only medically sound but also achievable in daily life.
