A clinician-led programme using advanced metabolic assessment, prescription GLP-1 therapies and structured lifestyle guidance for safe, sustainable weight loss.
Our medical weight management programme goes far beyond conventional diet advice. It begins with comprehensive metabolic assessment — understanding your hormone balance, insulin sensitivity, thyroid function and metabolic rate — to identify the physiological factors that may be making sustainable weight loss difficult.
Where clinically appropriate, we prescribe GLP-1 receptor agonist medications (such as semaglutide) which support appetite regulation and improve metabolic function. These prescription medications are combined with structured lifestyle guidance, nutritional support and regular clinical review.
This is not a diet programme — it is medical management of a medical concern. Every aspect of your programme is overseen by our experienced clinicians, ensuring your safety and maximising your results.
Your clinician takes a detailed medical history and orders relevant metabolic testing — including hormone panels, insulin resistance markers and thyroid function — to understand the underlying factors affecting your weight.
Based on your assessment, a bespoke programme is designed. This may include GLP-1 prescription medication, structured nutritional guidance, sleep optimisation and lifestyle modifications.
Regular follow-up appointments monitor your progress, adjust medication as needed and provide clinical support throughout your journey. This is a supervised medical programme, not a self-managed plan.
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are a class of prescription medications that mimic a natural gut hormone, reducing appetite, slowing gastric emptying and improving insulin sensitivity. They are the most effective prescription weight loss medications currently available.
Yes, when prescribed and supervised appropriately. They have been used clinically for over a decade in the management of type 2 diabetes and have an excellent safety profile. Common side effects include mild nausea, particularly at the start of treatment. All patients are monitored throughout their programme.
No — this is a prescription medical programme with specific eligibility criteria. A comprehensive medical assessment is required before any medication is prescribed.
Our programme involves comprehensive medical assessment, clinician oversight, dose titration, metabolic monitoring and structured lifestyle support. Self-administering prescription medications without medical supervision is associated with significantly higher risks and poorer outcomes.
This varies by individual. Clinical trials show average weight loss of 15–20% of body weight over 68 weeks with GLP-1 therapy plus lifestyle changes. Your clinician will set realistic targets based on your assessment.
Without lifestyle changes, weight regain after stopping GLP-1 therapy is well-documented. Our programme places significant emphasis on building sustainable nutritional and lifestyle habits alongside medication to help maintain results long-term.
