About Leanne
Four years ago I went to a health resort in Austria for the first time. Not because I thought I was living unhealthily — but because I was curious about what truly caring for yourself really means.
In the first days of the detox I broke out in a severe rash. My face swelled up. I couldn't recognise myself in the mirror.
It shook me. I had no idea how much processed food I was eating, let alone what it had done to my body over the years. I thought I ate healthily. I ate terribly.
Since then I've immersed myself in health — in nutrition, in longevity, in how the body responds to stress and sleep and processed food. Not out of worry, but out of fascination. Because without your health you can't do what you want. Everything falls away.
The more I learned, the more I saw what was happening around me. In the Netherlands, across Europe, the numbers around excess weight get worse every year. Eating too often, too much, too processed. Almost everyone runs into the same problem. And by now we know exactly what the consequences are: heart, blood vessels, hormones, energy, lifespan.
When I started looking into GLP-1 medication, something clicked. This wasn't just a diet drug. It was a medical tool that helped people, physically and mentally, regain control of their health. What I saw in patients wasn't only weight loss. It was calm. Energy. The feeling that they could change something about themselves again.
That's what I wanted to help build. Not as a one-off treatment, but as care the way I'd want to receive it myself: medically careful, personal, modern. That's why Véora exists.
“Most people only think about their health once they've lost it. Véora is for the people who want to get there sooner.”
Care the way we'd want it ourselves
Véora exists because good care can be more personal, more modern, and more human. We work with BIG-registered physicians who personally assess your journey from start to finish. No automated prescriptions, no waiting rooms, no fragmented care. Instead, a platform that grows with you, a doctor who is reachable, and treatments that are clinically grounded.
We start with medically supervised weight loss because that's where the greatest health gains are. But the standard we're building goes further than that.
