Healthy Weight Management
At Andrew Place Clinic, we understand that weight and health are deeply personal. Our approach is respectful, non-judgemental, and centred on your individual needs. We recognise that many factors influence weight - genetics, hormones, sleep, stress, medications, mental health, and lifestyle - and we work with you to find realistic, sustainable strategies that support your overall wellbeing.
We understand that not everyone wishes to change their weight. We provide supportive, respectful care for all body sizes, focusing on health, wellbeing, and quality of life—not just numbers.
What We Can Help With
Our GPs offer comprehensive support for people seeking guidance with healthy weight management, including:
- Holistic assessment: We take the time to understand your medical history, lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, physical activity, and any underlying conditions that may influence weight or metabolism.
- Evidence-based lifestyle support: Guidance on nutrition, movement, sleep routines, stress management, and behaviour change strategies tailored to your daily life.
- Medication options: Discussion of prescription weight-management medications when appropriate, including their benefits, risks, and whether they may be suitable for you.
- Body composition scanning: We use a body mass scanner to assess fat mass, muscle mass, hydration, metabolic markers, and other measures to provide a clear picture of your health beyond the number on the scale.
- Multidisciplinary care: We work closely with dietitians, exercise physiologists, psychologists, and other allied health professionals for a team-based approach to long-term health.
- Chronic disease support: Assistance with weight-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep issues, hormonal changes, or joint pain.
Whether you’re looking for guidance, struggling with long-term weight issues, or simply want to better understand your health, we are here to help.
