We’re opening registrations for our next Weight Loss Masterclass - happening next week.

If you feel like you’ve been doing everything right…
eating well, staying consistent, trying to make the right choices…
but the weight just isn’t shifting - this is for you.

Because in many cases, it’s not about trying harder.
It’s about understanding what’s changed.

In this free masterclass, we’ll cover:
• Why weight loss can feel harder (especially in your 40s and beyond)
• What’s actually driving these changes in your body
• And what a more realistic, sustainable approach can look like

This is designed to give you clarity - not more confusion.

Perimenopause and menopause can bring significant changes to energy levels, appetite, body composition, sleep and overall wellbeing - and for many women, it can feel confusing and frustrating when the strategies that once worked no longer seem effective.

In this week’s blog, written by guest writer and Accredited Practising Dietitian Dr Somayyeh Firouzi, we explore the relationship between hormones, metabolism, muscle mass and nutrition during menopause, alongside practical and sustainable ways to support long-term health.

This article takes a compassionate, evidence-informed approach to women’s health - without blame, restriction or quick fixes.

Topics explored include:
• why weight management may feel different during menopause
• the importance of preserving muscle mass
• nutrition and exercise considerations
• bone health, sleep and stress
• sustainable approaches to wellbeing during hormonal change

🌟A snippet from an episode of Don’t Let The Old Man in Podcast with Padraig (Pod) O’Sullivan featuring Dr. Angela Kwong.

In this podcast, they discussed
✅How GLP-1s work and why everyone is talking about them,
✅what is food noise and how to manage it,
✅fasting insulin - where clinically appropirate,
✅talk about metabolic change, before it becomes metabolic disease,
✅midlife change and how to approach weight management with curiosity and care

Sometimes, the win is simply that we started the conversation, before the crisis.

Spaghetti Bolognese 🍝

One of my favorite ways to make this meal more balanced and filling is by using extra lean beef mince, vegetables like onion, garlic, carrots, and tomato, plus legumes for added protein.

I also love serving it with extra veggies such as steamed broccoli, fresh capsicum, spinach, or peas. The added fibre helps keep you fuller for longer while adding more nutrients to your plate.

• A/Prof Janet Franklin - Tailoring nutrition strategies for complex cases
• Dr Angela Kwong - GP x Dietitian: A collaborative approach to weight management 🤝

Digital health feels very different when you realise you belong.

Walking through the Digital Health Festival this week felt unexpectedly reflective for me.

Three years ago, I was being invited into digital health conversations without really knowing whether what I was building as a GP was even worthy. At the time, I still saw myself simply as a clinician trying to solve practical problems for patients beyond the clinic walls.

This year felt different. Not because the technology became more impressive, but because the conversations themselves seemed to mature.

Last year, much of the energy centred around the race for AI scribes and the excitement of what technology could do. This year, many of the discussions felt grounded in a quieter reality: healthcare systems already operating incredibly close to capacity, and the inefficiencies behind the scenes no longer sustainable.

What struck me most was how many vendors were no longer simply selling “innovation”, but trying to solve operational friction inside practices, hospitals and healthcare systems. Workflow. Accurate data extraction. Relieving administrative burden.

Not glamorous problems, but very real ones.

Healthcare innovation is becoming less about standing outside the system trying to disrupt it, and more about people within the system trying to rebuild it thoughtfully from the inside.

A little behind the scenes moment 📷

This was taken during the recording of the podcast episode, “GLP-1s Explained: What women need to know about this shift.”

Such a privilege for Dr. Angela to sit down with at the studio to explore a topic that so many women are navigating right now.

From shifting conversations in weight management, to understanding the real-life impact on nutrition, side effects, and long-term care - this episode was all about bringing clarity, context, and evidence-based insight to what can often feel like a confusing space.

These are the conversations that matter - thoughtful, balanced, and grounded in patient care.

Over the past few years, we’ve been listening closely. 💭

To the questions.
To the challenges.
To the moments where something just wasn’t quite working.

And what became clear is this - weight management is evolving.
With more medications, changing appetites, and increasing complexity, eating less isn’t always the full answer. In fact, many people are left wondering if they’re getting what their body actually needs.

This is why we made the intentional decision to bring a dietitian into our model of care. 🤝

Not as an add-on.
But as a necessary next step.

A more personalised, integrated approach - shaped by what our patients are truly experiencing.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, unsure, or like you’re missing a piece of the puzzle… this might resonate. ✨
