Medical Weight & Metabolic Health Clinic

Doctor-Led • Personalised Care • Real Results

At WaistWise, we understand that weight loss is about far more than simply eating less and exercising more.

Many people struggle with weight because of a combination of medical, hormonal, lifestyle and metabolic factors. Conditions such as insulin resistance, diabetes, poor sleep, stress, medications, menopause and underlying health issues can all make weight management more challenging.

Our doctor-led programme combines medical expertise, personalised care and ongoing support to help you achieve sustainable weight loss and improved long-term health.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, improve your energy levels, reduce health risks or simply feel more confident, our experienced team is here to help.

Body Composition Analysis

Why We Measure More Than Weight

Many people become discouraged when the scales do not move as quickly as they expect. However, successful weight loss often involves:

  • Reducing body fat
  • Preserving or increasing muscle mass
  • Improving hydration
  • Improving metabolic health

Monthly body composition analysis allows us to monitor these important changes and provide more accurate feedback on your progress.

Body Composition Analysis Fee: $30 per scan.

Weight loss medications

Weight loss medications may be suitable for some patients following medical assessment.

These medications are not appropriate for everyone and should always be used as part of a comprehensive weight management programme that includes lifestyle changes and ongoing monitoring.

Our doctors can discuss whether medication may be appropriate for your individual circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Step 1: Comprehensive Medical Assessment

Your journey begins with a consultation with one of our experienced doctors. We take the time to understand:

  • Your current health and weight history
  • Previous weight loss attempts
  • Medical conditions and medications
  • Lifestyle factors
  • Sleep and energy levels
  • Personal goals and challenges

Where appropriate, we may arrange blood tests or further investigations to better understand factors affecting your weight and overall health.

Step 2: Body Composition Analysis

Weight alone does not tell the full story. Using advanced body composition technology, we measure:

  • Body fat percentage
  • Muscle mass
  • Visceral fat
  • Hydration levels
  • Metabolic indicators
  • Overall body composition

This allows us to track meaningful progress beyond what you see on the scales.  Many patients are encouraged to see improvements in body fat and muscle mass even when their overall weight changes slowly.

Step 3: Personalised Treatment Plan

Every patient is different.

Your personalised plan may include:

  • Nutritional guidance
  • Physical activity recommendations
  • Behavioural and lifestyle strategies
  • Sleep optimisation
  • Weight loss medications where clinically appropriate
  • Ongoing support and accountability

Our focus is always on achieving realistic, sustainable and healthy results.

Step 4: Monthly Progress Reviews

Successful weight management requires regular support and monitoring.

Most patients participate in monthly reviews with our Nurse Practitioner and clinical team.

These appointments may include:

  • Progress review
  • Body composition analysis
  • Discussion of challenges and successes
  • Medication monitoring
  • Goal setting
  • Ongoing education and support

Regular reviews help keep you motivated and accountable throughout your journey.

Step 5: Ongoing Doctor Review

Your doctor remains actively involved throughout the programme. Periodic reviews allow us to:

  • Assess progress
  • Review blood results
  • Monitor metabolic health
  • Adjust treatment plans
  • Optimise medications where required
  • Support long-term maintenance

Yes; all treatment goals are set by a doctor based on what would be most suitable for your health. You would also be regularly monitored in the clinic along with having regular blood tests etc.

Take control of your health with Waist Wise, our medically supervised weight loss program designed around you—not one-size-fits-all.

Initial Consultation
Meet one-on-one with a doctor or nurse to discuss your lifestyle, goals, and medical history. You’ll undergo a full medical assessment—including blood tests—to see if waist Wise suits your needs.

Personalised Plan
Together, we’ll design a tailored plan. This may include:

    • Prescription weight loss medications (e.g., GLP-1 agonists)

    • Very Low Energy Diets (VLED)

    • Fat blockers or vitamin support

    • Referrals to dietitians, exercise physiologists, or mindfulness coaches where needed

Ongoing Support & Monitoring
You’ll have regular reviews with your clinician to monitor progress. Our body composition scale tracks improvements in body fat, water content, and more, while repeat blood tests keep safety at the forefront.

Adjust & Maintain
We adjust the plan as needed. Once you reach your goals, we’ll help you set realistic maintenance strategies to support lasting change.

You would also be regularly monitored in the clinic along with having regular blood tests etc.

Whilst the medications work with you to help control your cravings, we do encourage you to adopt a healthy eating plan alongside them.
When you come into the programme, we can work with you to help curb cravings, suggest replacements and give dietary advice to ensure you continue your weight loss journey !

Increasing your activity levels is proven to improve your general health and well-being and we do encourage some movement alongside a healthier diet and the medication. We will work alongside you to find the best way for you to get moving, no matter your fitness starting point.

As Waist Wise we devise a programme that is personalised to you. The initial consultation will consider lifestyle factors, medical background and any medication you are currently on.

We offer a range of treatments as aids to your weight loss journey:

⇒ Prescription weight loss medication (based on suitability)
⇒ Fat blockers
⇒ Vitamins
⇒ VLED Diets
⇒ Natural slimming aids
⇒ Dietitian / Ex physiologist / Mindfulness techniques

The scan measures body fat, muscle mass, hydration and other metabolic markers to help track progress beyond the scales.

Most adults looking to improve their weight and metabolic health can benefit from an assessment. Our doctors will determine the most appropriate approach for your situation.

Results vary from person to person depending on starting weight, health conditions, treatment plan and adherence to recommendations.

Our focus is on safe, sustainable and long-term results.
