Our Beginnings
Necessity is the mother of invention, so it is said. For Dr Vladimir Shchukin and his wife, Dr Lyudmila Shchukina, this adage proved to be true in their choice of medical practice. The couple are the brains behind the weight loss clinic they founded, located at 5th Avenue building in Nairobi’s Upper Hill.
Holistic Living first originated in Ukraine with Dr. Shchukin and Dr. Shchukina, for whom this has been a very personal journey. It all began when Dr. Vladimir was obese and unable to lose weight in a sustainable way. After extensive research and a lot of headache and heartache experienced by the whole family, he decided to undergo the Gastric Sleeve Resection. This proved to be the solution they had been looking for.
As medical practitioners, both husband and wife noticed a growing obesity problem in Kenya and dedicated themselves to combatting the rising rates. They first began their practice in Kisumu, then Eldoret, finally settling in Nairobi.
Where We Operate
Our specialists conduct their practice in their private clinic at 5th Avenue Office Suites, as well as at the Nairobi Hospital, MP Shah, Aga Khan, Coptic, Mater, Nairobi South and Guru Nanak hospitals.
Our Philosophy
We at Holistic Living are fully convinced that obesity is a disease that arises from a combination of different factors. This is why we are passionate about bringing awareness to this non-communicable disease and treating it permanently using the latest knowledge and scientifically proven weight loss methods.
