Alevia Medical Weight Loss partnering with Obstetric & Gynaecology Practices

Alevia Medical Weight Loss partners with O&G practices to support women experiencing weight concerns.

The Weight Challenges Unique to Women’s Health

Perimenopause/Menopausal weight gain
Many women experience weight gain around the time of menopause – on average 0.5kg per year1. This can be quite distressing and contribute to a higher cardiometabolic risk.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
1. Up to 80% of women living with PCOS are also living with overweight or obesity.

2.  The combination of insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism, drives up metabolic risk. As little as 5-15% weight loss can make a meaningful difference to symptoms and regulate cycles.

Gynaecological health considerations
3. Losing weight can help to reduce the risk of endometrial carcinoma

4. and improve symptoms associated with uterine prolapse and stress incontinence.

Alevia: Understanding Women’s Weight at Every Stage

We provide woman-centred, medically supervised weight management that complements your gynaecological care.

Hormone-conscious weight management
Protocols consider how hormonal change may affect metabolism, appetite and fat distribution, tailoring interventions to work with physiological transitions. 

Coordinated medical interventions
We deliver structured reviews, monitoring and patient education, integrating lifestyle advice through our multidisciplinary team of doctors, dietitians, exercise physiologists and mental health clinicians.

Integrated women’s-health approach
We align with hormone therapy decisions and broader treatment plans, adjusting our approach based on your protocols and your patient’s stage of care.

Empathetic, patient-centred care
We recognise the emotional load midlife weight change can carry and pair practical strategies with supportive counselling.
