This World Mental Health Day, we're reminding you to care for your mind as much as your body 🌱

Weight and mental health are deeply connected - stress, sleep and emotional wellbeing can all influence eating patterns, motivation and energy levels.

Be kind to yourself on your weight loss journey and remember:
💚 Everyone's progress looks different
💚 Self-care isn't selfish - it's essential
💚 Seeking help is a sign of strength, not failure

When taking those steps towards a healthier lifestyle being kind to yourself is a major part of your journey - every small action matters 🌟

Weight Loss Injections vs Surgery - What's the Difference? 🤔💭

Thinking about weight loss treatments and unsure what's best for you? Surgery and medications (such as injections) can both help, however they work in different ways.

🏥 Surgery alters the stomach
🧠 Injections mimic the hunger hormone and alter appetite signals
🍉 Both require commitment towards lifestyle changes for success

Always seek and discuss the risk and benefits of each option with a qualified professional. Your health, goals and medical history matter.
