Do you prescribe treatment for weight?

Where clinically appropriate and after a thorough assessment, prescribed treatment can form part of your plan, always alongside lifestyle changes and never as a standalone solution. Your doctor discusses the options and costs at your appointment; the law does not allow prescription medicines to be advertised publicly.

How is this different from a diet plan?

We take a medical approach. Rather than prescribing a generic diet, we investigate why you are gaining or struggling to lose weight -- hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle factors -- and build a plan based on your individual biology.

How often will I have follow-ups?

Typically fortnightly for the first 2-3 months, then monthly. Frequency is adjusted based on your progress and preferences.

Included

If prescribed treatment becomes part of your plan, your doctor goes through the costs with you at your consultation, before anything is decided. Nothing is charged without being agreed with you first.

Is it right for you?

You have tried diets or lifestyle changes and the weight comes back
Your weight is affecting your health, your energy or your confidence
A condition like PCOS or an underactive thyroid makes weight harder work
You want medical answers, not another plan that ignores your biology

A word before you start:

This is a medical programme, not a quick fix. It starts with a full assessment of your history and your bloods, and we will not recommend anything we do not believe is safe and suitable for you. Existing health conditions usually shape your plan rather than rule it out.

Common questions

A GP leads your care from the first appointment, supported by our clinic team. Every prescribing decision is made by a GMC-registered doctor who knows your history.

No. Where prescribed treatment is clinically appropriate it is one option among several, and the decision is always yours, made together with your doctor.

UK law does not allow prescription-only medicines to be advertised to the public, so we don’t. If treatment is right for you, your doctor goes through the options, what they cost and their side effects at your appointment.

A full hour with a doctor at our Balsall Common clinic. We go through your health history, your weight history and what has and hasn’t worked for you before, and take baseline blood tests.

No. GP reviews and blood monitoring are part of the programme, not charged as separate appointments.

Bring it up at your first appointment. It usually shapes the plan rather than ruling it out, and it is exactly why a medical assessment is the right place to start.
