Understanding your options
Weight is a health conversation.
Weight is influenced by more than food choices alone. Sleep, stress, medicines, hormones, metabolic health, movement and life stage can all play a part.
Medical weight management brings these factors together. Your plan may include nutrition and lifestyle support, investigation of relevant health concerns, and prescription medication when clinically appropriate.
- Comprehensive clinical and metabolic assessment
- Medication only when medically suitable
- Ongoing monitoring, adjustment and support
Is it right for you?
Personal, not prescriptive.
There is no single plan that suits everyone. Your health history, current medicines, priorities and risks shape the safest next step.
Hormonal factors
Symptoms and history may point to hormonal or life-stage factors that warrant further investigation.
Lifestyle context
Sleep, stress, nutrition, movement and daily routines are discussed without judgement and with practical goals in mind.
Medical treatment
Prescription medication may form part of the plan when benefits, risks and your clinical circumstances support it.
Your care journey
Understand
We discuss your weight history, health, medicines, previous approaches, lifestyle and what meaningful progress looks like to you.
Assess
Examination and selected blood tests help identify metabolic, hormonal or safety factors that could affect your plan.
Support
Your personalised plan is monitored over time, with treatment, goals and support adjusted as your needs change.
What to expect
Considered care.
Honest guidance.
Your first consultation is a medical assessment, not a promise of medication. If treatment is suitable, Dr Peer will explain the options, likely benefits, possible side effects and monitoring required.
Follow-up supports safe prescribing, helps respond to side effects and keeps the plan aligned with sustainable health goals rather than a quick fix.
Treatment suitability and likely outcomes differ from person to person. Results cannot be guaranteed and will be discussed during your medical consultation.

Common questions
A little more
clarity.
Is this simply a diet plan?+
No. It is a medical service that considers metabolic health, possible hormonal factors, medicines, lifestyle and your wider health risks.
Will I be prescribed medication?+
Not necessarily. Medication is considered only after assessment and when it is clinically appropriate for you. Other parts of your plan remain important.
Why is ongoing follow-up needed?+
Follow-up allows Dr Peer to monitor your health, response and any side effects, then adjust treatment safely when needed.
How quickly will I lose weight?+
Progress varies between people and no result can be guaranteed. The focus is on medically appropriate, sustainable improvement rather than a fixed short-term target.
