RID is more than just a diet—it’s a doctor-led transformation programme. Every patient undergoes a full medical consultation and is supported by monthly health coaching sessions to ensure personalised attention, motivation, and accountability throughout their journey.
The RID Diet is rooted in functional and integrative medicine. It offers a low-glycaemic load (GL) eating plan supported by proven supplements and lifestyle interventions. Rather than just the symptoms, it’s designed to address the root causes of weight gain, including hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and poor gut health. Your RID journey will include:
Each treatment plan is completely customised, whether you want to lose weight, rebalance hormones, or improve your overall wellness.
For those seeking an advanced, medically guided solution for weight loss and metabolic health, Shape Up is the next evolution of the Renewal Institute Diet (RID). This doctor-supervised programme includes all the foundational benefits of RID—such as hCG, low-glycaemic eating, lifestyle coaching, and gut restoration—with an added support layer to accelerate results and improve metabolic balance.
Shape Up builds on the RID framework by incorporating a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist. This innovation works on multiple fronts to promote sustainable fat loss, control cravings, and reduce the likelihood of weight regain.
The dual GLP-1 and GIP formulation enhances weight loss by:
This mechanism supports fat-burning and metabolic efficiency, especially in individuals who struggle with hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, or slow progress on traditional programmes.
Shape Up is ideal for those who:
Whether you’re new to structured weight loss or looking to break through barriers in your current journey, Shape Up offers an elevated, doctor-led approach. It’s designed for real results, powered by advanced science and supported by personalised care every step of the way.

MoreFrom start to finish this place is just wonderful, friendly, professional, knowledgeable and luxurious. Also let’s not even mention how much better my skin looks as well as how AMAZING the RID Diet is. Losing 10kgs in one month never seemed attainable but it’s done.
