Evidence based weight loss consultations with our team of qualified health professionals

Your initial consultation with our weight loss physician, Dr Courtenay, will include a detailed discussion about your medical and weight loss history. This will allow us to develop the best possible treatment plan for you.

Prior to your appointment, you will need a blood test and potentially a stool sample. These results will be discussed with you at your initial consultation. Potential lifestyle changes will also be discussed. Your appointment will be followed up by a dietetic consultation prior to starting treatment. Your weight loss progress will be reviewed by Dr Courtenay. We require your GP’s details to communicate your treatment plan, medications and blood results.

If you would like to discuss an ESG, a consultation with gastroenterologist Dr David Orr will be required.

Prior to attending your initial dietetic consultation you will complete a questionnaire, outlining previous medical issues and your weight history. We will delve deeper during your initial assessment, looking at factors contributing to weight gain as well your dieting history.

We will discuss aspects of your physical health including blood test results, any allergies or intolerances you may have as well as your ability to participate in physical activity.

Your dietitian will take a detailed diet history to better understand how food fits into your day to day life. They will look at what you eat, portion control, as well as your pattern of eating and additional factors motivating you to eat. You will leave your consultation with a detailed plan and appropriate meal ideas to support you until our next session.

Your initial psychology consultation will focus on behaviors and thoughts that might have interrupted previous weight loss.

This includes habits such as snacking throughout the day or in the evening and choosing higher calorie foods. Eating for emotional comfort, time away from daily stressors, binge eating, night eating or an addiction to sugar are patterns that are difficult to control. Common thoughts are an “all or nothing” approach to diets and self-blame for weight regain.

Interruption of patterns that contribute to overeating supports long term control and sustainable weight loss. Your personalised consultation allows us to immediately design effective strategies and then offer follow up support as we embed these into your life.

We offer 3 or 6 month psychology packages that provide the targeted intervention and support necessary for a successful weight loss journey.
