Breakthrough medication that kickstarts your weight loss


Research indicates that when combined with coaching, GLP-1s are the most effective solution for weight loss.

What are GLP-1 medications?


GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy, Saxenda and Ozempic are a groundbreaking and clinically proven treatment for weight loss that result in an average of 15% reduction in body weight within one year.

A naturally occurring hormone

GLP-1 medications replicate the body’s naturally occurring GLP-1 hormone, which sends signals to the brain to control your appetite and metabolism.

Regulate blood sugar levels

By improving your metabolism and reducing your appetite, GLP-1 medications help to curb sugar cravings which can spike blood glucose levels.

Proven to promote weight loss

Participants using GLP-1 medications lost 5 times more weight than with diet and exercise alone.*

THE SCIENCE

Medication that works alongside biology


GLP-1 medications are an effective weight loss tool as they directly influence physiological factors that can hinder efforts to lose weight.

Keeps hunger at bay

Delays the pace at which your stomach empties food, promoting a prolonged sensation of fullness.

Curbs cravings

Directly affects your brain's reward centre, reducing the urge to reach for unhealthy snacks.

Gets you past your weight plateau

Effectively lowers your body's natural weight ‘set point’, so you can continue to lose weight without hitting a wall.

Wegovy: A Complete Overview


Wegovy is an MHRA-licensed weight-loss medication that has been clinically proven to help suppress appetite. It mimics the body’s GLP-1 hormone to reduce hunger and cravings, resulting in a weight loss average of 15%.

What is Wegovy?

Wegovy is a prescription-only medication that should be self-injected once per week to balance blood sugar levels and reduce body weight. The active ingredient semaglutide mimics a naturally occurring hormone to suppress and regulate appetite, allowing you to lose weight.

Does Wegovy really reduce body weight?

Yes, by suppressing appetite and causing your stomach to empty slower, you’ll feel fuller for longer, making it easier for you to consume fewer calories. Clinical trials have demonstrated that, when used alongside a calorie-reduced and healthy diet as well as routine exercise, you could lose an average of 15% of your total weight within one year. However, individual results will vary as everyone is unique. Wegovy is only suitable for people with a BMI of over 30, or over 27 with certain comorbidities.
