Weight loss
For many people losing weight feels like an uphill battle. We offer surgical and non-surgical options to help you achieve your weight loss goals.
Losing weight is often more challenging than it seems. Contrary to popular belief, weight loss is not just about diet and exercise, it involves a complex balance of factors including your metabolism, genetics, lifestyle and emotional wellbeing.
Many people struggle with losing weight due to:
- metabolism
- underlying illness
- age or menopause
- mental health issues
- ingrained habits or behaviours that lead to weight gain.
Being obese or carrying excess weight can lead to serious health issues like:
- heart disease
- diabetes
- joint problems
- PCOS and infertility
- respiratory diseases
- sleep apnoea and sleeping issues
- mental health issues.
That is why it is important to approach weight loss with clinical support— focused not just on numbers, but on overall health.
