WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION: What is the treatment process?⁠

• Typically, you will start with an initial assessment, in which your doctor will review your weight history, health status (especially cardiovascular risk, bone health, liver/kidney function, any medications), suitability (for example no contraindications). With some providers this may be via an online questionnaire. ⁠

• In a face to face consultation (such as the ones at Clinic51), you’ll talk through expectations (realistic weight-loss goals), duration of treatment, side-effects, lifestyle support required and cost.⁠

• Treatment will usually start at the lowest dose to minimise side-effects (especially gastrointestinal side effects). ⁠

• You should expect regular check-ins for weight, side-effects, any medication interactions, and to discuss any side effects. If it is necessary because your weight loss has plateaued, your medical professional will discuss increasing your dose. ⁠

• How long your treatment should last is an on-going discussion. NICE (the National Institute for Health & Care Excellence in the UK) notes prescribing is not limited to 2 years - recognising that obesity is a long-term condition ⁠

For many women, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the most effective way to manage menopausal symptoms. ⁠

However, some women are unable to take HRT for medical reasons, and others choose not to.⁠

At Clinic51, we support every woman in making the choice that’s right for her – by explaining the options and giving advice, guidance and support. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to menopause care, and there is certainly no judgement.⁠

The latest post in the Women’s Health Hub on our website explores evidence-based lifestyle changes and non-hormonal treatment options recommended by the British Menopause Society (BMS) and NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) that may help ease some of the most commonly experienced symptoms such as hot flushes, sleep disturbance, mood changes, joint pain, weight gain and so on.⁠

In the first of our new, interactive series of EATING WELL workshops led by Holistic Health & Nutrition Coach Jeanette Townsend, we will be focussing on Food Noise - the constant mental chatter and cravings that many women experience. ⁠

With over 20 years’ experience in the food and wellness industry, Jeanette brings expert knowledge and a compassionate, down-to-earth approach. She understands how overwhelming it can feel to be bombarded with advice, frustrated with progress or guilty about slipping back into old patterns – which is why she is passionate about developing simple, nourishing routines that fit your life and deliver real results, without complicated diets or extreme restrictions.⁠

Join us at Clinic51 Black Barn on THURSDAY 29TH JANUARY from 7pm - for a 60 minute session with time for tea & a chat afterwards. Tickets are £20, and ALL ARE WELCOME - you don’t need to be an existing patient to come along....⁠

What are Weight Loss Injections, and how do they work?⁠

The latest blog post on our Women’s Health Hub seeks to give women the information they need, along with links to further reading and guidance, that can help to separate fact from fiction. Find the link in our bio 👆🏼⁠

Weight Loss injections are also known by the name GLP-1, which stands for glucagon-like peptide-1, a naturally occurring hormone released from the gut after eating. These medications mimic or enhance its actions. Key mechanisms include:⁠

• Slowing gastric emptying (so food remains longer in the stomach), helping you feel fuller sooner and for longer. ⁠

• Acting on brain centres of appetite, satiety and food reward (so you may eat less and feel less driven by cravings). They reduce or suppress appetite.⁠

• These medications were originally developed for use in diabetes, helping insulin & glucose control – this also influences metabolism. ⁠

• In the case of tirzepatide (Mounjaro) specifically, the dual action on GLP-1 and GIP receptors may give even greater efficacy. ⁠

In short: these medicines help reduce hunger, increase fullness and support metabolic changes that make weight loss easier, and have opened up significant new possibilities for weight loss management (within very carefully defined eligibility & monitoring criteria). ⁠

But they’re NOT magic - they work best in the context of lifestyle support (diet, activity, behavioural change – and the potential benefit depends on dose, duration, lifestyle support and individual factors. They are not stand-alone, or a quick fix. ⁠

To find out more, head to NICE (the National Institute for Health & Care Excellence), where you can find evidence and public guidance. There is further guidance for patients on gov.uk. Diabetes.org.uk also has some useful information. ⁠

CHOOSE KINDNESS (Especially towards yourself....)⁠

This is not the time for perfection. ⁠

It’s a time for compassion, boundaries, preparation and realism. Let go of the idea that you need to be operating at 100% to make Christmas “work.”⁠
You don’t.⁠

Christmas doesn’t need a perfect version of you. It needs the real one.⁠

So from our home to yours....wishing you the very Happiest Christmas.

SURVIVING & THRIVING THIS CHRISTMAS⁠

TIP 6: PROTECT YOUR BLADDER⁠

The “classic Christmas UTI” is well known among clinicians. ⁠

Dehydration, more alcohol, more s*x, disrupted sleep, and forgotten vaginal estrogen all create a perfect storm. ⁠

If you’re prone to UTIs or vaginal dryness, keep your routine going throughout December. ⁠

Hydrate well, use vaginal oestrogen and lubricant, and try to look after your pelvic health even when everything else feels chaotic. ⁠

Sometimes it’s these small, quiet habits that make the biggest difference.⁠

Find this tip, and our full blog post about staying sane this Christmas in the Women’s Health Hub on our website (along with lots of other useful info on women’s health):⁠

SURVIVING & THRIVING THIS CHRISTMAS⁠

TIP 5: ACKNOWLEDGE THE ADDITIONAL EMOTIONAL WEIGHT⁠

For many women, Christmas brings mixed feelings. ⁠

It can be lonely, or a reminder of people who are missing. It can stir grief, highlight relationship tensions, or make certain memories feel closer to the surface. If this is true for you, know that you are far from alone. ⁠

You are allowed to shape Christmas into something emotionally manageable—whether that means planning a quiet day, choosing who you see, or removing expectations altogether.⁠

If your mood dips more deeply than you expected, or if you feel unable to cope, support services like NHS 111 or the Samaritans are there throughout the holidays. It’s okay to reach out.
