Why us
Transform Your Health From Within
Losing weight isn’t just about appearance—it’s about improving your overall health and well-being. Maintaining a healthy weight can lower the risk of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and joint pain.
Being overweight or obese can have serious health implications, including:
- Increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and high cholesterol
- Greater likelihood of joint pain, mobility issues, and arthritis
- Higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes
- Increased risk of mental health challenges, including low self-esteem and depression
The 5-10% Advantage: Losing even 5% to 10% of your body weight can significantly improve your health markers, helping you feel more energetic, confident, and in control of your well-being.

Preparing for Your Appointment
To help us provide you with the most effective, personalised care, please review the following steps before your appointment:
Your Health Story: Be ready to discuss your medical history, any previous weight management efforts, and your current lifestyle. The more we know about your journey, the better we can tailor your treatment plan.
Clinical Baseline: During your consultation, we will record your height, weight, and blood pressure to calculate your precise BMI. This data is a standard clinical requirement that allows us to safely determine the right treatment path for you.
Understanding Eligibility: In line with UK clinical guidelines, our prescription weight-loss therapies are designed for adults with a BMI of 30 or above (or 27+ with a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes). We’ll discuss these metrics during your session to ensure you’re on the safest path to your goals.

FAQ
Patient Information
Wegovy (Semaglutide) mimics a single gut hormone (GLP-1) to help slow digestion and reduce appetite. Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) targets two hormone receptors (GLP-1 and GIP), offering enhanced metabolic support and typically resulting in greater average weight loss. Both are administered via once-weekly subcutaneous injections.
