Dr Mahnaz Alsharif is a highly experienced GP and Sport and Exercise Medicine physician at Sulis Hospital Bath where she does private GP, Sports and Musculoskeletal injuries and health screening clinics.
She is a member of the faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine (MFSEM) UK and Ireland.
Mahnaz has over 20 years’ expertise of non-surgical acute and chronic sports and work-related musculoskeletal injury management and longevity-focused health optimisation.
Dr Mahnaz Alsharif qualified from the University of Bristol (MBChB) in 1996 before completing her GP training. Her interest in musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders and sport injuries led her to work extensively in A&E and further advancing into Sports and Exercise Medicine (MSc) at the University of Bath and diploma in MSK ultrasound (Bournemouth university).
Alongside Sports medicine and general practice, Mahnaz has a PhD in Biochemistry from University of Bath with post-doctoral research in molecular genetics. Her dual expertise in medicine and biochemistry enables a uniquely future-facing approach to metabolic health, performance and preventative care. She has particular interest in running and football related injuries. Her approach integrates precise diagnostic, evidence-based treatment, and personalised rehabilitation plans to support safe and effective return to full activity.
A key part of Dr Alsharif’s practice focuses on healthy ageing, metabolic optimisation for longevity using the latest science to help patients extend not just lifespan, but health span, living longer and younger. Her postgraduate qualification in Ageing, health and disease (Cardiff university) deepens her expertise in the mechanism of ageing and preventive medicine. Her longevity programme includes nutrigenomics and epigenetic assessments with personalised strategies to slow, stabilise or potentially reverse the body’s epigenetic ageing markers and prevention of metabolic syndrome via weight management programs and epigenetic regulation.

Medical Weight Management & Metabolic Health Programme With Medication Option
Dr Alsharif offers a medically supervised weight management programme designed to support sustainable weight loss, improved metabolic health and healthy ageing. Rather than focusing on weight loss alone, this programme takes a comprehensive medical approach that considers the underlying hormonal, metabolic and lifestyle factors that influence weight, energy and long-term health.
Excess weight, particularly when linked to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, increases the risk of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease and inflammatory disorders. Over time, these metabolic imbalances can accelerate biological ageing and affect overall wellbeing. Addressing weight in a structured medical setting can therefore play an important role in improving health outcomes and supporting longevity.
Following a detailed medical assessment, patients may be offered evidence-based weight management medications where appropriate. These treatments work by regulating appetite, improving metabolic signalling and supporting gradual, sustainable weight loss. Medications such as GLP-1 and related therapies may be considered as part of a personalised treatment plan, alongside lifestyle and metabolic health guidance.
This programme includes ongoing medical monitoring and regular health reviews to ensure treatment is safe, effective and tailored to each individual’s needs. Progress is reviewed regularly, medication doses can be adjusted where necessary, and patients receive guidance to support long-term weight maintenance and metabolic health.
This service is suitable for individuals who have struggled with weight despite lifestyle changes, those with insulin resistance or metabolic risk factors, or patients seeking a medically supervised approach to weight management that prioritises long-term health, disease prevention and healthy ageing.
Patients begin with a comprehensive consultation, baseline blood tests to assess their health, discuss treatment options and create a personalised weight and metabolic health plan.
Medical Weight Management Services
1
Metabolic Health Screening
A detailed medical assessment to understand the metabolic factors influencing weight, energy and long-term health. Blood tests and clinical review help identify insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and other risk factors. This allows treatment to be tailored to support sustainable weight loss, disease prevention and healthy ageing.
2
Body Composition Monitoring
Weight alone doesn’t tell the full story. Body composition analysis measures body fat, visceral fat and muscle mass to ensure weight loss is healthy and sustainable. Monitoring these markers helps guide treatment and supports fat loss while preserving
lean muscle and metabolic health.
3
Lifestyle & Metabolic Support
Long-term weight management requires more than medication alone. Patients receive guidance on nutrition, movement, sleep and metabolic health to support sustainable results. This integrated approach helps regulate appetite, improve energy levels and support lasting lifestyle change.
