How do GLP-1 medications work?
Manage your hunger
GLP-1 signals to your brain that you are full.
Stay fuller for longer
GLP-1 keeps food in your stomach to satisfy your hunger.
Balance your blood sugar
GLP-1 prevents excess sugar turning into fat by storing it in the liver.
Reduce fat storage
GLP-1 triggers insulin from the pancreas, briefly lowering blood sugar to reduce fat conversion.

How long is the programme?
How long is the programme?
We recommend following our programme for at least six months to see significant results. However, the programme is set up as a monthly subscription so you can take it one month at a time.
Do the medications have side effects?
Do the medications have side effects?
All the GLP-1 medications we offer have undergone rigorous clinical trials to establish long term suitability for long term use. Some people taking GLP-1 medications do experience side effects, however these are typically mild and go away after a week or so. The most common side effects are related to an upset stomach - e.g., nausea, diarrhoea, gas. We provide tips on how to best manage these until they go away. As with all medication, please read the leaflet for more information.
What happens when I stop the medication?
What happens when I stop the medication?
Medication alone can help you lose weight, but it will not help you keep it off. That is why we pair medication with coaching, to help you make long term changes to your habits that will help you keep the weight off after you stop the medication.
Who is eligible?
Who is eligible?
These medications are only suitable for patients with a BMI >30 or with BMI >27 with certain health conditions (e.g., high blood pressure). To find out if you are eligible, take our questionnaire.
Why choose this approach over diets or exercise programmes?
Why choose this approach over diets or exercise programmes?
This approach has three main benefits over exercise programmes and diets. Firstly, it’s a complete solution that tackles all aspects that affect your weight: diet, exercise, stress and sleep. Secondly, it is the only non-surgical method clinically proven to reduce hunger and result in significant weight loss.
Thirdly, it is personalised to you and your challenges - we will help you create healthy habits that you can stick to, enabling you to keep the weight off long term.
