Weight Loss
Losing weight isn’t just about willpower. For many people, biology plays a huge role — appetite, hormones, metabolism, and how the body stores fat all influence long‑term success. If you’ve tried to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, you’re not alone in finding it difficult to keep the weight off.
Today, medical science offers new options that can make a real difference.
At WellMed we provide access to clinically proven weight‑loss medications, including Wegovy and Mounjaro, designed to support people who want a safer, more effective way to reach a healthier weight. These treatments work by helping regulate appetite, reduce cravings, and support sustainable lifestyle changes — so you’re not fighting your biology every step of the way.
Our service is built around support, clarity, and evidence‑based care. Whether you’re just starting to explore medical weight‑loss options or you’re ready to take the next step, we’re here to guide you with expert advice and a personalised approach.
What makes us different?
Here at WellMed all of our consultations are lead by fully qualified and experienced clinicians who will perform an in-depth assessment to ensure you optimise your weight loss journey.
In addition to this, as all of our initial consultations are face to face, we can assess any underlying or complex health conditions which may have resulted in a rejected online prescription elsewhere.

Weight Loss Prescriptions
At WellMed we offer two types of weight loss medications and our expert GPs can help determine which is right for you.
Mounjaro Weight Loss Injection
Mounjaro, also known as tirzepatide, is a prescription medication that has gained attention for its effectiveness in weight loss management. Mounjaro is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking the effects of incretin hormones, which are naturally produced in the gut and help regulate insulin levels. Specifically, it: - Increases insulin sensitivity and secretion. - Suppresses glucagon secretion. - Slows gastric emptying, which helps you feel full longer.
Wegovy Weight Loss Medication
Wegovy, known generically as semaglutide, is a medication approved for weight management. Wegovy is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone, which plays a role in appetite regulation and insulin secretion. Specifically, it: - Bind to and activates the GLP-1 receptor to increase insulin secretion. - Slows gastric emptying, leading to prolonged feelings of fullness. - Reduces food intake by decreasing hunger and cravings.
