Frequently Asked Questions

How much does your weight loss program cost?

Our fees vary depending on the level of support and services you choose. During your initial assessment, we will provide clear information about costs so you can make an informed decision.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Everyone’s weight loss journey is different. Factors such as age, gender, starting weight, activity level, and health conditions can influence your rate of loss. We’ll work with you to set realistic goals and regularly review progress to optimise outcomes.

Do I have to have surgery to lose weight?

Our programs focus primarily on non‑surgical, evidence‑based approaches tailored to your health needs. If weight‑loss surgery is being considered for health reasons, we can support pre‑ and post‑operative care in consultation with your surgical team.

How is your program different from other weight loss approaches?

We take a clinical, personalised approach that addresses not just calorie restriction but hormonal, metabolic, behavioural, and lifestyle factors that influence weight. Care is provided by qualified clinicians and allied health professionals using evidence‑based strategies.

I have a busy lifestyle — can I still do the program?

Absolutely. Our programs are designed to fit into everyday life. We offer flexible appointment times and telehealth options to suit your schedule.

What if I already exercise or see a personal trainer?

That’s great! We encourage you to continue. For many people, structured exercise support from our clinicians can enhance your results and ensure safe, effective progression tailored to your health status.

I have medical conditions and take medications — can I still participate?

Yes. Our clinicians are experienced in working with individuals who have complex medical conditions. We will assess your health status, review medications, and tailor your plan safely in coordination with your GP or specialist as needed.

How often will I see my clinician?

Follow‑up frequency depends on your individual care plan and goals. Many clients start with regular monthly reviews and adjust over time based on progress and support needs.

How do I book an appointment?

You can book online through our website or contact our team by phone or email, and we’ll be happy to assist with scheduling.
