Non-surgical weight loss, Dr Scott Whiting

Struggling with weight loss?
Here’s why non-surgical options can work

For many people, weight management isn’t as simple as eating less or moving more. Genetics, lifestyle, medical conditions, and mental health can all play a role when weight doesn’t shift. 

While bariatric (weight-loss) surgery is a highly effective option for some, non-surgical weight loss solutions remain the first step for most patients, and with the right support, can deliver powerful results.

What is non-surgical weight loss?

Non-surgical weight loss often includes the use of prescription medication, which can assist with appetite control, improve satiety, and help manage food cravings. However, medication is never a stand-alone solution. It is most effective when paired with expert nutrition guidance and a tailored physical activity plan. 

By combining medical support, healthy eating, and safe exercise; patients receive a comprehensive, evidence-based program that addresses every aspect of weight management for long-term success.

The goal is to create long-term, sustainable habits rather than quick fixes.

Pharmacotherapy (medications) for weight management

In some cases, medical weight loss may involve prescription medications that support appetite control or metabolism. These are always prescribed based on individual needs, medical history, and suitability.

Note: Medications are not a stand-alone solution – they work best when combined with lifestyle changes like healthy eating and exercise.

Exercise programs built for you

Exercise doesn’t have to mean hours at the gym. Medical specialists can create programs suited to your fitness level, medical history, and preferences.

A personalised program may include:

  • Low-impact cardio (walking, cycling, swimming)

  • Strength training to boost metabolism and maintain muscle

  • Gentle mobility exercises to improve flexibility and joint health

Dietary changes with expert guidance

Food choices are often the cornerstone of any weight loss journey, but knowing where to start can be overwhelming. Our dietitians help create a meal plan tailored to your needs, preferences and health goals.
