Everyone’s journey is different. We look at barriers you’ve faced in the past, and deep dive into things like causes of weight gain such as genetics, hormone imbalances, eating patterns, level of activity etc. Together, we set realistic goals and create an individualised plan to meet your specific needs. We’ll review progress regularly, and adjust your plan as your needs change.

Yes. Whilst surgery can be a very effective tool for weight management, we start with non-surgical, evidence-informed approach, and review options such as weight loss medications and the most effective diet and exercise strategies.
