Meet Donna Gunn, A Different Kind of Health Professional
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your health journey, frustrated by short-term fixes, endless diet advice, or the feeling that “nothing works for me” Donna Gunn understands. In fact, she’s been there herself.

Sitting on her back step one day, she made a decision: “I can’t keep living like this.” That moment set her on a path that would transform her health, her life, and eventually, the lives of hundreds of others.

At NUYU Newcastle, we’re all about supporting you with care, kindness, and a no-judgment approach. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce two incredible members of our partner team: Tim and Amanda, our on-site pharmacists. With their wealth of knowledge and commitment to your well-being, they’re here to help and support you, on your weight loss journey.

We're thrilled to announce an exciting expansion of services at NUYU Newcastle! Dr. O'Connell has joined our partner team, bringing specialised expertise in lifestyle medicine and comprehensive health care for adults navigating life's transitions.

We understand that everyone's journey towards weight loss and better health is unique. That’s why we are committed to offering personalised care in a way that respects your individual preferences. Whether you prefer to keep your progress private, share your wins with the NUYU team and friends, or embrace the spotlight and community hype as you achieve your goals, we are here to support you.

During the menopausal transition, women face unique physiological changes that can make weight management especially challenging. Hormonal fluctuations, particularly the decline in oestrogen, create several metabolic changes.

When embarking on a medical weight loss journey, having a supportive community around you can make the difference between short-term progress and lasting success. While the medications and medical supervision are crucial components, the power of community support often becomes the secret ingredient that transforms the entire experience.
