🚨 Daily Mail Feature 🚨 - I recently shared expert insights on one of the most common side‑effects of GLP‑1 medications like Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro: diarrhoea.

💡 Key points I discussed:
- Dose increases can overstimulate the gut before it adapts

- Gradual dosing helps reduce side‑effects

- Hydration and medical guidance are essential if symptoms occur

- In some cases, switching medication or adjusting treatment can make a big difference

With the right support, most patients can continue treatment safely and still benefit from the long‑term health improvements these medications offer.

Holidays and Weight Loss Treatment: A Reality Check

Many people start weight loss treatment with a clear goal: to enjoy holidays without restrictions, to fit comfortably into a plane seat, to go on rides, or to feel more confident.

But here’s the paradox: once progress begins, holidays often become the excuse to pause treatment — to “indulge.”

If the holiday was the reason you started, why should it be the reason you stop?
If past habits contributed to weight struggles, why repeat them now?
If holidays are about joy and freedom, isn’t health and confidence part of that picture?

Weight loss isn’t about restriction — it’s about reclaiming your life. Holidays should celebrate progress, not undo it.

👉 DM me or email me today to talk about how to make your next holiday not just enjoyable, but truly liberating.

🦴 Bone Health & Weight Loss Medications
Weight-loss treatments can do more than curb appetite — they may also affect your bones.

📊 In the large SELECT trial:
- Women on medication had **5x more hip/pelvic fractures** than those on placebo (1.0% vs. 0.2%)
- Patients aged 75+ had **4x more fractures** (2.4% vs. 0.6%)

👉 Why?
Some weight-loss medications can lead to **nutritional deficiencies** — especially calcium, vitamin D, and protein — which are essential for bone strength. Age and other risk factors can make this even more important.

💡 How to protect your bones:
- Eat a diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein
- Keep moving with weight-bearing exercise
- Talk to your doctor about bone health checks
