Weight Management

Sustainable weight loss starts with understanding why

If you’ve struggled to lose weight despite eating well, exercising and doing all the right things, you’re not alone. Weight is influenced by far more than willpower. Hormones, genetics, medications, sleep, stress, menopause, insulin resistance and underlying medical conditions can all contribute.

A personalised approach

Individual GPs consulting from Bronte Family Doctors take an evidence-based, personalised approach to weight management. Rather than focusing solely on the number on the scales, your GP will work with you to understand the factors contributing to weight gain and develop a management plan that supports your long-term health.

Why choose medically supervised weight management?

There is no single treatment that works for everyone. A comprehensive medical assessment allows your GP to identify contributing factors and recommend strategies tailored to your individual health, goals and circumstances.

Your consultation may include

  • Review of your current health conditions
  • Weight history and previous weight loss attempts
  • Nutrition and eating patterns
  • Physical activity
  • Sleep and stress
  • Medications that may contribute to weight gain
  • Hormonal factors, including perimenopause and menopause
  • Assessment of cardiovascular and metabolic health

Individualised management

Depending on your circumstances, your management plan may include:

  • Lifestyle and nutrition strategies
  • Investigation for medical contributors such as thyroid disease or insulin resistance
  • Prescription weight loss medications where clinically appropriate
  • Ongoing review, support and monitoring

Who may benefit?

You may benefit from a medical weight management consultation if you:

  • Have experienced repeated weight regain
  • Are concerned about your risk of diabetes or cardiovascular disease
  • Have weight-related medical conditions
  • Are experiencing weight gain during perimenopause or menopause
  • Would like to discuss prescription weight loss medications
  • Are looking for a sustainable, medically supervised approach to weight management

A whole-person approach

Weight affects many aspects of health. Your blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes risk, cardiovascular health, mental wellbeing and overall quality of life are taking into account when developing your management plan. Recommendations are tailored to your medical history, preferences and individual health goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all program.

Our philosophy

Weight management should be compassionate, evidence-based and free from judgement. The aim is to help you develop sustainable habits, improve your long-term health and wellbeing, and achieve outcomes that are both realistic and maintainable.
