Weight Loss Services
Nutritional Guidance
Healthy weight loss is built on a foundation of good nutrition. A dietitian offers evidence-based nutritional guidance, including meal planning, portion control strategies and education on how to make nourishing food choices. We help you develop healthy eating habits that fit your lifestyle, giving you the confidence to make choices that support both your weight loss goals and overall wellness.
Fitness and Exercise
Achieving sustainable weight loss isn’t just about diet—it’s also about moving your body in ways that support your health and goals. With the expertise of an exercise physiologist, you can enjoy safe, effective exercise plans tailored to your needs, fitness level, and any health considerations. Whether you’re new to exercise or looking to improve your fitness routine, we can guide you through exercises that build strength, improve mobility, and help you reach your weight loss targets.
Counselling & Therapies
A successful weight loss journey is about more than diet and exercise - it’s about developing a healthy mindset and creating positive habits. We can provide counselling, ongoing support and medications if needed, to help you overcome challenges, stay motivated and manage stress along the way. We’re here to listen, guide, and encourage you, ensuring you feel supported at every stage.
Supporting your Weight Loss Journey
Every person’s weight loss journey is unique and it's tough to do it alone. The good news is, we can provide the support you need. Your GP can design a custom treatment plan based on your individual needs, lifestyle, and health goals. Starting with a thorough assessment, we create a plan that’s tailored to your success, and may include medications and referrals to allied health professionals such as an exercise physiologist, dietitian and psychologist. Our goal is to provide you with the motivation and support needed to help you stay on track and achieve lasting results.
