The Qilo Story
In Africa, we're witnessing a rising concern – obesity and overweight issues that seem to keep growing. We saw that the traditional approach of `just eat less and exercise more` just wasn't cutting it. So we brought together a team of experts to design an evidence-based way to handle this. That's how Qilo was born. We believe that everyone deserves access to weight care that actually works, and that addresses all aspects of metabolic health - something that goes just beyond the number on the scale, but is also about taking care of your body in a way that's sustainable for the long haul. We want you to live healthier, for longer, and that's why we're here.
Why we created Qilo
To empower individuals to take charge of their health, build healthy habits, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases for a longer, healthier life
To make weight care affordable and accessible to Africans
To change how obesity is treated in Africa, giving it the clinical attention it truly needs, along with a holistic approach
To take the guesswork out of weight loss struggles, by offering evidence-based care.
The experts who
will guide you.
