Frequently asked questions
We're here to answer your questions
Do I need a specific BMI or health condition to start?
Many adults are eligible for our programmes. We typically welcome adults with a BMI of 27 or higher (you can use the calculator below), as this aligns with medical guidelines for weight management interventions.

- Low self-esteem or mood changes
- Affected emotional wellbeing
- Joint discomfort
- Reflux
- Your practitioner will review your full health picture during consultation

Your practitioner develops a personalised plan based on your unique needs, with ongoing clinical support throughout your journey.
What role do medical check-ins play?
Regular consultations with our qualified healthcare professionals ensure your care plan remains safe and appropriate. These check-ins allow us to monitor your progress, adjust your approach as needed, address any concerns, and provide ongoing support. This continuous clinical oversight helps support your goals while prioritising your health and safety.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
All medical treatments carry potential for side effects. Common experiences may include digestive changes, appetite fluctuations, or adjustment periods as your body adapts. Our healthcare team provides comprehensive information about potential effects relevant to your specific care plan and offers strategies to manage them. We monitor your progress closely to ensure your safety and comfort throughout your journey.
