Weight Management Consultation
Weight Loss
Dieting and exercise are the first steps to try lose weight. However they often don’t work. Even when dieting and exercise do result in weight loss most people have difficulty keeping the weight off because of the body’s natural response to losing weight. The body vigorously tries to defend it’s weight by increasing appetite and slowing down metabolism when weight is lost. This usually results in the weight being put back on and often results in “diet cycling” in which people repeatedly lose weight only to put on even more weight due to the body’s response.
Bariatric surgery offers an effective treatment for some people but it comes with significant risks. Weight loss medication is an alternative option that is relatively safe and effective. Over the past number of years there has been enormous progress in the field of weight loss medication.
Weight Loss Consultations
Our weight loss consultations provide personalised medical support to help you achieve and maintain a healthier weight in a safe and sustainable way. During your appointment, your GP will assess your overall health, discuss your lifestyle, medical history, and weight goals, and work with you to create an individualised management plan.
We offer evidence-based advice on nutrition, physical activity, behavioural changes, and long-term weight management strategies. Where appropriate, we can also discuss medical investigations, referral pathways, and prescription treatment options to support weight loss.
Our approach is supportive, non-judgemental, and focused on improving your overall health and wellbeing rather than simply focusing on numbers on a scale. Regular follow-up appointments are available to monitor progress, provide ongoing encouragement, and adjust your plan as needed.
