Frequently Asked Questions
Is medical weight loss different from a regular diet?
Yes. Medical weight loss focuses on identifying the root causes of weight gain — such as hormonal, metabolic, or lifestyle factors — and is guided by a doctor to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Do I need blood tests before starting a programme?
In most cases, yes. Blood tests can reveal underlying issues like thyroid problems, diabetes risk, or vitamin deficiencies that affect weight management.
Will I be prescribed weight loss medication?
Medication is only considered if medically necessary. Most patients benefit from lifestyle changes, nutritional guidance, and tailored medical support.
Can you help with fatigue that’s stopping me from exercising?
Absolutely. We investigate the root cause of your fatigue and provide strategies and
treatments to restore energy so you can safely increase activity levels.
How long before I see results?
Results vary by patient, but with medical supervision, patients often see safe, sustainable changes within weeks to months — with ongoing support for long-term success.
