Lose weight with medical support

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.

Nutrition & Dietetics for weight loss focuses on creating personalised eating plans to boost your metabolism and help you shed excess pounds. Dietitians assess your current diet, lifestyle, and metabolic rate to design a sustainable approach that works for you. They teach you about portion control, nutrient-dense foods, and how to make smart choices that support your weight loss goals while keeping your metabolism running efficiently.

This approach goes beyond just counting calories. It considers the timing of your meals, the balance of nutrients, and how different foods affect your body's fat-burning processes.

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.

Exercise Programming involves creating a personalised physical activity plan tailored to your goals and overall health. It takes into account your current fitness level, health conditions, preferences, and lifestyle. Your programme may include a mix of cardiovascular activities, strength training, and flexibility exercises, designed to progressively challenge you as your fitness improves. This approach not only aids in weight loss but also improves mood, increases energy levels, and reduces the risk of various health conditions.

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.
