Weight Loss

The NHS suggests using your Body Mass Index (BMI) to gauge a healthy weight range. BMI is a score derived from your height, weight, and age. A healthy BMI score typically falls between 18.5 and 24.9, depending on these factors.

For a more comprehensive understanding of your weight health, the NHS also recommends measuring your waist size. Excess fat around the abdomen can increase the risk of health issues such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke.

It’s recommended that you may need to lose weight if you’re female and your waist size is over 31.5 inches or if you’re male, 37 inches.

Before considering any weight loss medication, it's crucial to focus on healthy lifestyle changes. Incorporating a balanced diet and regular physical activity into your routine can effectively help you reach your weight loss goals.

By adopting a nutrient-rich diet, you provide your body with essential nutrients while controlling calorie intake. Aim to include colorful vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats in your meals.

In addition to dietary changes, regular physical activity is vital for losing weight. Engaging in activities that elevate your heart rate, such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling, not only burns calories but also enhances cardiovascular health and boosts metabolism. Finding enjoyable forms of exercise can make it easier to maintain a consistent routine. Consider exploring dance classes, yoga sessions, or recreational sports that you enjoy to foster a positive relationship with movement.

However, some individuals may need additional support. In certain circumstances, prescription medications can aid in weight loss. We can advise on these as well as non-prescription interventions.

Prices start from £120 for the starting dose of Wegovy.

We will explain the price for each type of injection and at each dose so that you know what to expect before you start your treatment course.

You could be eligible for our weight loss treatments if:

• you are aged 18 to 75 and;
• you have a BMI over 30 or;
• you have a BMI over 27 and have been diagnosed with a condition that is made worse by weight gain, such as a heart condition

Our non prescription options are availble to all

A BMI within the healthy range for your height, gender, and age, combined with a healthy waist size, indicates a lower risk of developing obesity-related health issues such as type 2 diabetes, heart conditions, and stroke. This reduces strain on your organs, allowing your body to function efficiently without overexertion.

Maintaining a healthy weight can also lead to increased energy levels, providing more motivation to incorporate regular exercise into your daily routine. This not only helps sustain a healthy weight but also promotes positive mental health and well-being.

This is a private service and is unfortunatly not covered by the NHS. We feel our prices are very competitive with real world support available from a trusted pharmacy.

It is available under the NHS on specialist weight management services - these are generally for people with a BMI of over 50.
