Weight-loss medications like Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide) are prescription treatments that help regulate appetite and support long-term weight loss.
They work by targeting the same hormones your body uses to manage hunger, fullness, and blood sugar, making it easier to eat less, feel satisfied sooner, and build healthier habits.
Both medications work by calming the appetite and helping you feel full sooner, but they act on slightly different hormones in the body.
Wegovy (semaglutide) works on one hormone pathway: GLP-1. This helps reduce hunger, slow digestion, and steady blood sugar.
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) works on two hormone pathways: GIP + GLP-1. This combined effect can lead to stronger appetite control and, for many people, greater weight loss.
What this means in practice:
Both medicines are effective for weight loss, but Mounjaro tends to produce more consistent and higher average weight loss in clinical trials. Average weight loss can reach 20–25% of body weight with Mounjaro, compared with up to 19.1% with Wegovy.
Yes, when prescribed responsibly and monitored by a qualified clinician.
GLP-1 medications are well-studied, with strong safety records from long-term clinical trials.
However, like all medications, they aren't suitable for everyone. That's why we complete a detailed health assessment before prescribing.
We can't give you a yes or no without completing our health assessment; the clinical prescribing clinician will evaluate your individual situation.
Previous gallbladder removal, certain thyroid conditions, and other health issues require careful consideration but in many circumstances, you can take Mounjaro alongside these conditions. HRT typically isn't a problem.
The onboarding includes a detailed health questionnaire and clinical review. Be completely honest about your health history.
It depends on the habits you've built while on medication. Research shows people typically regain two-thirds of lost weight without proper support.
Our data suggests something different: participants who develop sustainable habits with our programme show only 3.2% weight regain after stopping, compared to 6%+ without support.
We focus on building these habits from day one; when appetite is lower and it's easier to learn what healthy eating actually looks and feels like.
The medication gives you a window to change your relationship with food, not just lose weight temporarily.
Your health coach is a UK-registered dietitian or nutritionist, available 5 days a week through the app. You message them directly and get responses typically same day.
They help with managing side effects, adjusting eating habits as your appetite changes, and building practical skills around food. You're also placed in a small group with others on similar journeys for peer support.
The support continues throughout your programme, not just at the start.
Yes, you can stay on a dose that's working well for you.
Some people find excellent results at 5 mg or 7.5 mg of Mounjaro and choose to stay there.
Others need to gradually move up to 15 mg. The clinical team will work with you to find what's right based on your weight loss, side effects, and goals.
It's not one-size-fits-all; the decision is made together with the clinical team.
Yes, in most cases you can continue your current dose after a clinical assessment.
Our prescribing pharmacists will review your current medication, how long you've been taking it, and your medical history. If you're stable and everything checks out medically, you can typically continue rather than starting from the beginning.
You'll complete a health questionnaire and have a consultation with our clinical team, then get access to the full programme alongside your medication.
You can cancel anytime with no penalties or a long-term contract.
If you're thinking about cancelling because of side effects, cost, or feeling stuck, it's worth speaking to your health coach first - they might be able to help.
For mild side effects like nausea or constipation, message your health coach.
For moderate or persistent issues, they'll escalate to the clinical team. For severe symptoms (severe abdominal pain, allergic reactions), contact 111 or go to A&E immediately; don't wait to message us first.
Common side effects typically improve over time. Our research showed 69% of participants reported no side effects by month 12.
Our prescribing team are independent prescribing pharmacists registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council. They handle all medication decisions and clinical oversight.
Your health coaches are UK-registered dietitians or nutritionists with specialist training in GLP-1 medications. Dr Rachel Hall (MBChB) provides medical review and oversight.
We've had the privilege of working with the NHS for over eight years, helping people across the UK take meaningful steps toward a healthier, happier life.
Our programmes are designed to meet people where they are, whether that means support with weight loss through compassionate one-to-one health coaching, or access to the latest weight-loss medications (like Mounjaro and Wegovy) delivered alongside expert care from a multidisciplinary team of doctors, psychologists, dietitians, and personal trainers.
At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: real, lasting change comes from building better habits, not relying on quick fixes. We're here to support that change every step of the way.
With over a decade of experience, thousands of lives changed, and a long-standing record of delivering programmes used by the NHS, we believe we're the UK's most trusted weight-loss programme.
We hope to offer you something invaluable: peace of mind, and the support you need to take that first step.
