In modern society, we are facing a growing epidemic of health-related conditions, many of which are directly linked to obesity. These include type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, depression, and a reduced life expectancy. The impact of excess weight on both physical and mental health cannot be overstated, and it’s clear that the traditional approach to weight loss—simply “eat less, move more”—is not enough for many individuals.
At our clinic, we understand that losing weight is not just a physical challenge, but an emotional and psychological journey as well. It requires more than just willpower; it’s about creating lasting, positive changes in the way you approach food and your overall lifestyle. We recognise the frustration that can come with struggling to shed excess weight, especially when the solutions seem elusive.
That’s why we offer a bespoke weight loss service that is tailored to your unique needs. Our approach is centred around Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide), an innovative, UK-licensed prescription medication designed to support sustainable weight management in adults. Whether you’re male or female, our program aims to help you regain control of your health, address the root causes of weight gain, and work towards a healthier, more confident version of yourself.
Let us partner with you on your journey to better health, using proven, science-backed methods that go beyond the typical one-size-fits-all solutions.

Mounjaro is a cutting-edge injectable medication designed to regulate blood sugar levels and promote weight loss. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, Mounjaro has shown remarkable effectiveness in helping people lose significant weight when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
By mimicking two natural hormones that control appetite and digestion, Mounjaro:
→ Reduces hunger
→ Slows down digestion, making you feel fuller for longer
→ Enhances insulin sensitivity
This multi-faceted approach makes it a powerful tool for individuals seeking sustainable, medically supported weight loss.
Our weight loss service with Mounjaro is ideal for adults who:
→ Have a BMI of 27 or above with a weight-related health condition, such as;
→ Have a BMI of 30 or higher
→ Type 2 Diabetes
IMPORTANT: Medically managed weight loss is not a quick fix – it’s a comprehensive programme designed for individuals who are serious about achieving and maintaining their weight loss goals.
Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is a useful screening tool that helps assess whether your weight is within a healthy range based on your height. However, it is important to remember that BMI is a general guideline and does not account for factors such as muscle mass, bone density, or fat distribution.
If your BMI indicates that you are overweight or obese, making positive lifestyle changes can significantly improve your health. A balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management all play a key role in maintaining a healthy weight.
Mounjaro is not suitable for everyone. The following conditions or situations contraindicate its use:
With medications like Mounjaro there is an increased risk of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC), a rare form of thyroid cancer, if you have a personal or family history of it.
Mounjaro is contraidicated in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2, a genetic condition that predisposes to certain cancers.
Allergy to Tirzepatide or any of its components.
The effects on fetal development are not well established, and it is therefore not recommended.
Mounjaro may increase the risk of pancreatic inflammation.
Mounjaro is not approved for managing type 1 diabetes.
Mounjaro, manufactured by Eli Lilly, is a once-weekly self-injectable medication that contains the active ingredient Tirzepatide. It is available as a pre-filled pen which contains four equal doses (approximately one month of treatment) in varying strengths. The pen itself is very simple to use, and the needles are very small so it’s relatively pain-free.
Treatment starts at a low dose and then increases every four weeks. When you first start using Mounjaro, the starting dose is 2.5 mg, once a week, for four weeks. The dose will then be increased after every four weeks until you reach the recommended dose of 15 mg a week.
Each Pack Contains FOUR Once-Weekly Doses
If approved for treatment, a prescription will be passed on to our partner pharmacy team for dispensing and delivery of the medication to your doorstep.

Your journey begins with a one-to-one consultation with one of our doctors. They will take the time to understand your medical history, current health, and weight loss goals to determine if Mounjaro is the right option for you.
If you’re suitable for Mounjaro, we’ll create a personalised plan tailored to your needs. This includes dosage recommendations and general health/lifestyle advice.

If you are considering weight-loss medication, a metabolic-focused blood panel is recommended (but not mandatory), to evaluate your overall metabolic health, assess for potential contraindications, and establish baseline markers to monitor progress and safety.
As a baseline, these tests provide a holistic view of metabolic health, identifying conditions such as:
If you are already taking weight-loss medication, regular monitoring helps to ensure continued safety, assess the medication’s effectiveness, and track overall metabolic health.
For monitoring purposes, these tests will help:
→ Monitor the effects of weight-loss medication on your metabolic markers.
→ Detect potential side effects like liver or kidney dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, or hormonal changes.
→ Ensure you are on track to achieve your weight-loss goals safely, while maintaining overall health.
This comprehensive metabolic blood panel, which includes 51 health markers, is recommended at the following intervals to ensure optimal health monitoring and early detection of potential issues.
By assessing a wide range of biomarkers, from cholesterol levels to liver function, this panel provides valuable insights into various aspects of metabolic health, allowing your doctor to make more informed decisions about your treatment plan:
Before starting medication.
To assess your body’s initial response to treatment, and the effect of the medication on your general health parameters.
Every 6–12 months, or more frequently if abnormalities are detected, or if there are side effects to the medication.
Regular testing helps track any changes in health status, ensuring timely adjustments to lifestyle or medication as needed to maintain overall well-being.
Basic Metabolic Panel:
Purpose: To assess kidney function, hydration and overall metabolic health.
Lipids & Cholesterol Status:
Purpose: To monitor changes in lipid profile as weight loss often improves cholesterol levels.
Hormonal Markers:
Purpose: To assess and monitor sex hormone balance and thyroid activity, which affect metabolism, fat distribution and weight.
Inflammation Markers:
Purpose: To assess general low-grade inflammation, often linked to weight and metabolic health.
Glucose Metabolism:
Purpose: Reflects average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months, and long-term blood sugar control.
Liver Function Tests:
Purpose: To assess baseline and ongoing liver health, as weight-loss medications or rapid weight loss can sometimes impact liver function.
Nutritional Markers:
Purpose: To track levels as deficiencies can be common during weight loss.
Uric Acid:
Purpose: To evaluate risk of gout and metabolic syndrome. Weight loss can also increase uric acid levels temporarily, raising the risk of gout.
Full Blood Count:
Purpose: To monitor for potential side effects like anemia, changes in white blood cells or platelets, and to assess overall health and organ function.
