Weight Loss Program

      Your first appointment will always be with our       Medibod Health Nurse.
​
       In your one-on-one consult, we will:

• Go through your medical history in detail

• Discuss any past weight loss attempts and what has or hasn’t worked

• Explore possible medical, hormonal, lifestyle, psychological or emotional factors contributing to weight gain

• Discuss your weight improvement goals – whether that’s improving health markers, feeling more comfortable in your body, or targeting specific areas of the body.
  
  You are always in control of what you share. We’ll only go as deep as you feel comfortable, and you can stop or pause at any time.
  
  What the Appointment Feels Like

• This is not an interrogation or a lecture.
  Most people describe the first consult as “a chat” rather than a formal interview. Our focus is on listening, understanding, and supporting you – not judging your weight, your choices, or your past.
  You can ask questions at any time, and we’ll explain everything in plain language.
  
  Medical Tests and Next Steps
  Depending on your history and symptoms, we may recommend some blood tests or other investigations after your nurse appointment.
  This helps us:

• Rule out underlying medical causes of weight gain

• Make sure any treatment or medication is safe for you

• Give Dr Mackender a clear picture of your health before you see him so you can start your journey to improved health straight away.​

Start your journey to improved health and wellness

 

 

After your initial consultation with your Medibod Nurse, you’ll see Dr Mackender. He will review your assessment, along with any pathology or radiology results, and talk with you about your goals and the safest, most appropriate options to help you reach them.

​

During this time, he may suggest – or you may choose to explore – additional support such as:

• Body composition scan

• Counselling

• Nutritional support

• Movement support

​

Each of these options is discussed in detail and only added if you and Dr Mackender agree that they’re right for you.

​

​

Medibod’s main focus is support and patient empowerment. Regular appointments in the first few months are common while we fine‑tune the right program for you. As your weight loss journey settles and becomes more stable, appointments may gradually spread out. If things change or your progress plateaus, we can increase support again as needed.

​

​

Our Medibod Nurse will also check in from time to time to see how you’re going and whether there’s anything more we can do to help you continue on this life‑changing, empowering journey.

Once you have reached your goal, we will remain in contact to help you maintain your transformation.

 

We offer ongoing support to ensure you stay healthy, confident, and comfortable in your own skin – whether that’s through

• reviews with Dr Mackender,

• check-ins with our Medibod Nurse,

• CoolSlimming for stubborn areas,

• counselling and lifestyle support if challenges arise again

• body composition scans to track your progress

• or adjusting your plan as life changes.

​

Our doors are always open. Once you’ve been a Medibod client, we prioritise you for continued care whenever you need us.
