Weight-loss injections are a new approach to managing weight and blood sugar. These medications work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body, helping you feel full longer, control your blood sugar better, and reduce hunger. They're especially helpful for people with type 2 diabetes or those struggling to lose weight through lifestyle changes alone.
In clinical trials, people taking these medications typically lost about 10-15% of their body weight, with some studies showing up to 15-20% weight loss in certain participants.
If you're finding it hard to manage your weight or blood sugar with diet and exercise alone, book an appointment with one of our Nurse Practitioners to explore if this therapy is right for you.
A holistic approach to supplements for metabolism and weight management starts with understanding your body's unique nutritional needs. Nutrient testing can reveal deficiencies that may be slowing your metabolism or hindering weight loss efforts. Common deficiencies affecting metabolism include vitamin D, B vitamins, magnesium, and iron. Addressing these deficiencies through targeted supplementation can help optimise your body's energy production and fat-burning processes.
Once deficiencies are identified, a personalised supplement plan can be created. This might include specific vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients your body lacks. Additionally, supplements like omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, and adaptogenic herbs may support overall metabolic health and weight management.
Hormone Support focuses on optimizing your body's natural regulatory systems for improved metabolism and weight management. We begin with comprehensive hormone testing to assess levels of crucial hormones like thyroid, cortisol, insulin, and sex hormones. This provides insights into potential imbalances affecting your weight and overall health.
Based on your results, we develop a personalized plan to support hormonal balance. This may include targeted supplementation, lifestyle modifications, or bioidentical hormone therapy when necessary. By addressing hormonal imbalances, we can help optimize your body's metabolism, potentially making your weight loss journey more effective and sustainable.
Health Coaching is a personalised approach to improving your overall wellbeing. It involves creating a tailored plan that fits your life and addresses all aspects of your health. This includes nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep, and other lifestyle factors. The process looks at you as a whole person, not just isolated symptoms or conditions. You'll set meaningful health goals and develop strategies to achieve them, learning how to make lasting changes that improve your overall quality of life.
Body Image Counselling is a way to help you feel better about your body and yourself. It's about understanding and improving how you see your body. You'll explore why you might have negative feelings about your appearance and learn to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and you'll develop ways to feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin.
This type of support can be really helpful if you're struggling with issues like eating disorders, constant worries about how you look, or feeling down about your body. It's also great if you feel pressure from society's beauty standards or if your body has changed due to weight loss, surgery, or getting older. The goal is to help you develop a kinder, more balanced view of yourself.
Functional Nutrition takes a deeper look at how your body processes and utilises nutrients. It goes beyond basic calorie counting to examine how different foods affect your unique physiology. This approach considers factors like gut health, inflammation, food sensitivities, and metabolic function to create a nutrition plan tailored specifically to your body's needs.
Our functional nutrition experts use advanced testing methods to identify any underlying nutritional imbalances or digestive issues that might be hindering your weight loss efforts. Based on these insights, they create a personalised nutrition plan that not only supports weight management but also improves overall health and wellbeing.
This approach often involves eliminating inflammatory foods, balancing blood sugar, supporting gut health, and ensuring optimal nutrient intake. By addressing the root causes of nutritional imbalances, Functional Nutrition can help create a sustainable path to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
Clinical Psychology offers professional support for mental health concerns that may be impacting your weight management journey. Our psychologists can help address underlying psychological factors such as emotional eating, anxiety, depression, or past traumas that might be influencing your relationship with food and your body.
Using evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), our psychologists work with you to develop coping strategies, improve self-esteem, and build resilience. This can be particularly beneficial if you're dealing with long-standing emotional or behavioural patterns that have made weight management challenging.
