Weight Loss Management Process

Our step-by-step weight loss pathway

  1. Initial consultation (60 minutes) with a doctor and nutritionist

    We start by understanding you — your medical history, lifestyle, goals, and any challenges. This conversation is judgement-free and completely tailored to your needs.

  2. Blood tests & measurements

    We check:

    This gives us a full picture of your health before creating your personalised plan.

    • Weight, BMI, waist & waist-to-height ratio
    • Blood sugar, cholesterol, thyroid, vitamin levels
  3. Personal training session with a qualified fitness coach

    We’ll assess your current activity level and build a safe, achievable exercise plan — no boot camps required. You’ll also get access to tools like MyPT Hub and support for wearable devices like the Whoop Band.

  4. Your personalised diet & lifestyle plan

    Crafted by your doctor, nutritionist, and trainer, this includes:

    • A realistic eating plan based on your culture and preferences
    • Gradual, manageable physical activity
    • Tools for tracking, goal setting, and motivation
    • Mental health support where needed
  5. Medication support: doctor-prescribed GLP-1 weight loss injections

    • Suitable if your BMI is 30+ (or 27+ with other health risks)
    • Helps regulate appetite and blood sugar
    • Weekly injection, with full guidance and support
    • Used alongside lifestyle changes for maximum effect
  6. Ongoing reviews & support

    We monitor:

    • Weight, waist size, side effects, and how you're feeling
    • Adjust plans as needed
    • Offer digital coaching or in-person motivation to keep you on track
  7. Multidisciplinary support, when you need it
