Weight Management |

At OneMedicine, we offer a holistic and compassionate approach to weight management, addressing both the physical and emotional factors to help you achieve lasting wellness and a balanced lifestyle.

Holistic weight management for lasting wellness

At OneMedicine, our weight management programme is about so much more than numbers on a scale. We take a whole-person approach, focusing on your overall cardiometabolic health and well-being—caring for both your body and mind.

Our dedicated team of specialists in gastroenterology, endocrinology, nutrition, and psychotherapy works together to create a plan that’s tailored to you. We’re here to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and encouragement to make sustainable lifestyle changes that bring balance, vitality, and confidence to your health journey.

 

Your Weight. Your Well Being.

Your body is designed to move, breathe, and thrive. But when weight begins to take a toll, it can impact nearly every part of your life—your heart, your energy, your confidence. Over time, it can lead to high blood pressure, diabetes, and increased strain on your heart. It can make movement more difficult, cause joint pain, and even affect the way you sleep. And beyond the physical effects, it can take a toll on your mental well-being, leading to stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

At OneMedicine, we believe health isn’t just about a number on a scale. It’s about how you feel every day—stronger, more energised, and in control. Our personalised approach is designed to support not just your body, but your mind. With expert-led care in cardiovascular health and holistic well-being, we’ll work with you to build habits that last.

Together, we’ll help you move better, sleep deeper, and feel more confident in your own skin. Because when you take care of your health, you’re not just changing your weight—you’re changing your life.

While both Wegovy and Mounjaro offer effective solutions for weight loss, Mounjaro has shown slightly greater efficacy in studies. However, choice between them should be guided by individual health needs, potential side effects, and availability.
