Weight Management Programme

Holistic doctor-guided weight management programme with personalised nutrition plans, exercise prescription, behavioural coaching, and ongoing medical monitoring to support safe and sustainable weight loss.

Parkway Shenton's Weight Management Programme offers a structured, medically supervised pathway for individuals who have struggled to achieve lasting weight loss through diet and exercise alone. Recognising that weight is influenced by hormones, metabolism, genetics, and environment — not just willpower — the programme provides the clinical support needed to break through plateaus and achieve meaningful, sustained results. The programme begins with a detailed consultation where the doctor reviews medical history, current medications, lifestyle, and weight-related health risks. Anthropometric measurements (BMI, waist circumference) and relevant blood tests are taken to identify contributing factors such as insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, or hormonal imbalance. A personalised treatment plan is then developed, which may include dietary modification with a registered dietitian, a structured exercise prescription, and behavioural coaching to address eating habits and lifestyle triggers. For patients who meet clinical criteria, GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy may be recommended as an adjunct to lifestyle change. Regular follow-up appointments (monthly initially, then bi-monthly once stable) allow the care team to track progress, adjust the nutrition plan, and respond to any adverse effects. The programme's goal is not rapid short-term weight loss but a safe, steady reduction of 5–15% body weight over 12–18 months — a range clinically proven to deliver meaningful improvements in blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, joint pain, sleep apnoea, and overall cardiovascular risk. Parkway Shenton's team for weight management includes GPs trained in obesity medicine, registered dietitians, and fitness professionals. The multidisciplinary model ensures every dimension of weight management is addressed with evidence-based, personalised care in a non-judgemental clinical environment.
