Weight Loss Treatment

Eligibility is assessed medically. It is generally considered for a BMI over thirty, or over twenty-seven where there is a related health condition. Some medical histories and medications rule it out, which is why a full consultation is essential.

Nausea, reduced appetite, constipation, reflux and tiredness are the most common, particularly in the first weeks and after each dose increase. They usually ease as your body adjusts, and we will help you manage them.

This varies considerably between individuals and depends on dose, adherence and lifestyle change. Rather than promising a figure, we set realistic goals with you at your consultation and track your progress against them.

Yes, and this is essential rather than optional. Treatment reduces appetite, but what you eat still determines your health outcome. Adequate protein and resistance exercise matter particularly for protecting muscle while you lose weight.

Appetite typically returns, and without established habits weight regain is common. That is why the programme focuses on nutrition and activity throughout, and we plan your maintenance strategy with you well before you stop. Our Maintain plan exists for exactly this phase.

Two reasons. First, honesty: you can see precisely what the care costs and what any treatment costs, rather than a single blended number that hides both. Second, UK advertising rules place strict limits on what clinics may publish about prescription treatments, including their prices. We can tell you about our service publicly; treatment is discussed with you individually.

Because it is a different thing. The low-cost services are a questionnaire, a prescriber signature and a delivery. What you are paying for here is a named doctor who reviews you personally twice a month and knows your history, a qualified trainer writing and progressing your programme, and a support line staffed by people who know your case. Bought separately those parts come to around £320 a month on our Momentum plan; together they are £249. If what you want is the lowest possible price, we are honestly not the right choice, and we would rather say so now.

No. The programme is designed to stand on its own and can be joined without any prescribed treatment. Treatment is never a foregone conclusion — whether anything is appropriate for you depends entirely on your medical assessment.

Only for the Complete plan, which includes in-person training sessions at a gym in Salford. Your first assessment is at our clinic; after that, every appointment on Foundation, Momentum and Maintain is by video, so where you live makes no difference.

Because a meaningful proportion of what you lose during weight reduction can be muscle rather than fat, and losing muscle makes weight harder to keep off afterwards. Resistance training combined with adequate protein reduces that. On current evidence it is the most useful thing you can add alongside clinical care.

That is the most common thing we hear. Programmes start from where you actually are, including if that is no training at all, and are built around any injuries or limitations.

Questions about your training, your food, your progress, side effects you want to flag, and practical problems. It is not an emergency service and we cannot change your treatment over a message — anything clinical is brought into a proper review. If you are unwell, contact NHS 111 or your GP, or 999 in an emergency.

Because it takes roughly that long to know whether a plan is working, and because people who leave in the first weeks get no benefit at all. After twelve weeks it is monthly, with one month’s notice.

Yes, upwards at any time and downwards at the end of your initial term. Most people start on Momentum and step down to Maintain once they reach their goal.
