💬 Taking medication as part of a weight management service? Read this. 👇

While we support you with your weight loss journey, here are a few simple but important tips to help you feel your best and stay on track:

💧 Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate – Drinking plenty of water helps reduce common side effects like nausea and supports healthy digestion.

🥗 Eat balanced meals – You may feel less hungry, but your body still needs good nutrition. Focus on protein, fibre, and regular meals.

⏰ Stick to your day – Take your injection the same day each week. Set a phone reminder to keep it consistent.

🚶‍♀️ Move when you can – Even light daily movement can make a big difference to how you feel.

💬 Check in with us – If you’re unsure about side effects, appetite changes, or anything else, we’re just a message or visit away.

Already noticing changes? Amazing, we love hearing your success stories!

Thinking about starting treatment? Our weight management service is led by trained clinicians and includes ongoing support tailored to you. Book a private consultation to find out if you're eligible.

Ongoing Support: Your journey doesn’t stop after the initial consultation. For the first 4 weeks, you’ll have weekly check-ins either over the phone, via video if you wish, or in person to monitor your progress. After that, we’ll meet every 4 weeks to assess your progress, re-check your weight...
