Find Your Perfect Look at Bodyworx Studios

Our Weight Management Clinic will enter you into a course of four possible medications. You will take these alongside a calorie-controlled diet of your choice. All medications are available by prescription only and your clinician will advise you on the one most suitable for you.

Working in conjunction with your diet, the medications will help you hit your goals by achieving the following:

• Controlling your appetite
• Curbing hunger
• Suppressing cravings
• Reducing portion sizes
• Releasing stored fat
• Losing weight
• Developing positive habits

These medications are synthetic forms of the body’s natural hormone glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1), which regulates appetite and food intake. GLP-1 is normally released from the body after eating a meal, and it makes you feel full, hence your appetite is reduced. It also delays the time it takes for the stomach to empty, preventing you from further eating.

Your body’s natural form of GLP-1 normally lasts only a few minutes after eating, whereas the synthetic form lasts much longer in the system before being broken down. This means that its effects are increased, and you will feel less hungry overall and fuller for longer.

By reducing your appetite, these medications will help you keep to the calorie-controlled diet of your choice in order to more easily achieve your weight loss goals.

You will likely be suitable for our Weight Management Clinic if:

• You are an adult aged 18-75, with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or above (in the obese category).
• You are an adult aged 18-75, with a a BMI of 27 or above and have weight-related health issue(s) present including high blood pressure, high cholesterol or respiratory conditions such as sleep apnoea.

Please see the BMI Chart below for reference.

However, you will not be suitable for the Weight Management Clinic if any of the following apply:

• You are pregnant or trying to get pregnant
• You have a personal history of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN Syndrome)
• You have a known hypersensitivity to the medication or any of the components
• You are under the age of 18 or over the age of 75
• You have been diagnosed with diabetes (type 1 or type 2)
• You have been diagnosed with a body image or eating disorder

As with any medication, there are potential side effects to these drugs. The most common side-effects are nausea, indigestion, abdominal pain, and changes to bowel habit. However, these tend to settle over the first few days.

Warning signs for any rare but serious side-effects will be explained to you by our doctors, and our team can always be contacted if you have any concerns or enquiries.
