Dubai, and online worldwide
Dr. Khalil Shah is a doctor and clinical nutritionist in Dubai. Nutrition, strength training and coaching are decided together, built around what your body is actually doing, and changed as that picture changes.

Four stages, in order. Nothing is prescribed before the first one is done.
Medical history, current training, how you actually eat, sleep, stress, work pattern and everything you have already tried. If you have recent blood work or a body composition scan, bring it.
Nutrition and training are written together rather than separately, around your schedule, your kitchen and the equipment you genuinely have access to.
You are coached through it: lifting technique and loading, food decisions, travel, heavy work weeks, and the days when the plan does not go as written.
The plan is measured against what your body is doing, and changed where the picture says it should change. That review is the part that keeps it working.
The assessment, the plan and the review are the same in both. What changes is whether the coaching happens in the room or remotely.
Progress is read as a pattern across several things at once, not from one number on one morning.
The four stages repeat for as long as we work together.
The direction over weeks, not a single reading. Day-to-day movement is mostly water, food volume and timing.
Where you have scans available, muscle and fat are read separately. The same weight can mean two very different bodies.
What you are lifting, for how many reps, and how it is moving. Training that stops progressing is a signal, not a failure.
Adherence is treated as information. If a plan is not being followed, the plan usually needs rewriting, not repeating.
These change before the scale does, and they tell you whether the current load is actually sustainable.
Where you are under medical care, results and symptoms are read alongside the training and nutrition, with your doctor's input.
A plan changes when the review says it should change, not because a certain number of weeks has passed.

Dr. Khalil Shah is the founder of Train With Dr. K, based in Dubai and coaching clients worldwide.
His work brings together nutrition, strength training and transformation coaching, so what you eat and how you train are decided as one plan rather than two. The clinical side comes first: history, medication, symptoms and blood work shape the plan before a single set or meal is written.
Coaching runs alongside medical care rather than in place of it. Where you are being treated by a doctor, your plan is built to fit that treatment and can be shared with them.
Explanations, corrections and the reasoning behind the plans. If you want to know how this practice thinks before you enquire, start there.
Most of what people ask in the first consultation has already been answered on the feed.

People who want their nutrition and training decided together, by someone who takes their medical history seriously. If you are managing a health condition, coaching is built around your doctor's care rather than replacing it.
No. Online coaching is available worldwide and follows the same assessment, plan and review process. In-person coaching is the option for clients in Dubai.
Your enquiry arrives by email at info@drkhalilshah.com. You will hear back about arranging the assessment, and be told what to send or bring beforehand.
Not to enquire. If you already have recent results, they make the assessment sharper. If you do not, that is one of the things discussed at the assessment itself.
Yes, and that is the intention. Coaching and nutrition guidance are not a substitute for medical treatment. Your plan can be written so your treating doctor can read it.
It is reviewed against weight trend, body composition where available, strength progression, how the plan is actually being eaten, and how you are sleeping and recovering. It changes when that picture says it should.
