Achieving Sustainable Weight Loss with the Help of Weight Loss Treatments

In recent years, weight loss injections such as Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Ozempic have emerged as revolutionary options for individuals struggling with weight management. At The Doctors Lounge, our private healthcare service provides expert advice and access to these innovative treatments, helping those approved for the treatment to a loss weight.  However we truly believe that the journey should be less about weight loss but more about improving the health of our patients.  For this reason whilst we do help with the prescription of these medications we do so with a holistic approach to fitness, nutrition and improve lifestyle habits.

In this blog we are focusing on the injections but during consultation and in further blogs, we will discuss the other lifestyle aspects that should be the main pillars of the weight loss journey.

Understanding the Options

Losing weight is not just about aesthetics— rather about improving overall health and reducing risks associated with conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and joint problems. Despite good intentions, many people find traditional methods like dieting and exercise alone don’t always yield the desired results. This is where medically supervised treatments can make a difference.

1. Nutritional support and guidance from our expert nutritionists: There are so many ways in which our nutritionist can tweak the diets and habits of our patients to encourage further long term sustainable weight reduction. We all have habits with our food that can be difficult to break but working on small lifestyle changes and adapting our nutrition can go a long way to make longer term differences.

2. Managing medical conditions: There are a number of medical conditions that can lead to weight gain and difficulty in losing weight and these should be explored through consultation and often blood tests.

3. Exercise support: We work with a number of trainers who recognise the difficulties patients have with weight loss and adapt their programmes to generate lifestyle changes and training changes that can make the difference in how our bodies react to the training

4. Weight loss medications: There are a number of oral weight loss medications and weight loss injections that can help to reduce appetite, adapt how our bodies manage the sugars and aid the feeling of being full to reduce calorie intake. These medications are part of a class called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They imitate the action of hormones that regulate appetite, slow digestion, and stabilise blood sugar levels. This holistic impact not only aids in weight reduction but also supports long-term metabolic health.
