Medical weight loss is doctor-supervised program that uses evidence-based approaches to help patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight. 

Unlike food first solutions, medical weight loss programs are personal to you and may include prescription medications, nutritional rethinking, behavioural therapy, and ongoing medical monitoring.

Medical weight loss may be appropriate for people who:

• You have a BMI of 27 or higher

• Are tired of the yoyo diet loop you are stuck in

• Are committed to making long-term lifestyle changes

• Don't qualify for or prefer not to undergo bariatric surgery

Your first visit typically includes:

• A comprehensive medical history review

• Body composition analysis

• Blood work to check hormone levels and metabolic health

• Discussion of your weight loss goals and previous attempts

• Development of a personalised treatment plan

• Introduction to Medical weight loss tools

• A visit with our pharmacist on site

Your weight loss doctor may prescribe TGA-approved medications such as:

• GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP agonists (like semaglutide and tirzepatide)

• Other medications based on your specific health needs and conditions

Note that medication is typically part of a comprehensive approach that includes lifestyle modifications.

For us here at NUYU Newcastle our program is a comprehensive wrap around approach to support you. There are cheaper options than us and we are very transparent about that!

Our service will appeal to people who like face to face medical care, in person visits for medical services and advice. A very boutique style of delivery for their services, think professional photography and personalised service where we know your name and champion all your successes. 

If that’s not for you, no problem. We understand everyone wants to do their journey their own way.

If we sound like just your cup of tea you can expect to invest $200 a week on the program as a starting point.
