Weight Management
Weight management can be complex and deeply personal, often influenced by medical, hormonal, lifestyle, and psychological factors. Many people find it frustrating when traditional approaches haven’t worked, or when progress feels difficult to sustain despite best efforts.
Our weight loss consultations provide dedicated time to explore your individual circumstances in a supportive setting. Led by an experienced GP, appointments focus on understanding your health, goals, and suitability for different medical approaches, rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions.
We’re here to help you make informed decisions about weight management, with an emphasis on safety, long-term health, and evidence-based care.

Useful Information: Weight Loss Injections
Weight loss injections such as Mounjaro and Wegovy have become increasingly popular options for those struggling to manage their weight through lifestyle changes alone. Both medications work by reducing appetite and helping you feel fuller for longer, and are administered as a weekly injection.
How do they work?
Both Mounjaro and Wegovy trigger receptors in the brain that signal fullness, helping to reduce appetite and slow the passage of food through the digestive system. Mounjaro targets two receptors (GLP-1 and GIP), while Wegovy targets one (GLP-1). Both are prescription-only medications and will only be prescribed following a clinical assessment with Dr Carrasco.
Am I eligible?
You may be suitable for weight loss injections if you have a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27–30 alongside a weight-related health condition such as prediabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Suitability will always be assessed on an individual basis during your consultation.
What results can I expect?
Clinical studies suggest that patients using Mounjaro lost an average of 22.5% of their starting body weight over 72 weeks, while those using Wegovy lost an average of 21% over a similar period. Results vary between individuals, and both medications require long-term use to maintain weight loss.
Important: Weight loss injections are prescription-only medications. They will only be prescribed where clinically appropriate, following a full assessment with Dr Carrasco. These treatments are not suitable for everyone.
