Speak to a doctor
Weight management
A phone consult with a verified doctor about managing your weight and metabolic health.
In plain terms
About weight management
Weight is rarely about willpower alone. Sleep, stress, hormones, medications and past dieting all play a part, which is why the same approach does not work for everyone.
A consult is a chance to talk it through with a doctor who listens first, understands your history, and helps you understand the options that a doctor can consider for someone in your situation.
On the call
What you will discuss
- What you have tried already and how it has gone
- Your general health, routine and what fits your life
- The options a doctor can consider with you
- Whether any tests or a referral would help before next steps
Good to know
You complete a short questionnaire when you book, including anything you would like to raise. The doctor exercises independent clinical judgment about what is appropriate for you.
Consults are by phone and are never recorded, and your consult history is kept in your own patient portal.
Before your consult
Blood tests help
Blood tests can help rule things in or out before any decisions are made. If you have not had recent bloodwork, it is worth arranging some general tests through your GP first. Your doctor will talk you through what would be useful.
How it works
Three simple steps
- 1
Book and tell us a little
Pick a time and answer a few short questions so the doctor has the picture before the call.
- 2
A verified doctor calls you
An independent, AHPRA-registered Australian doctor talks it through and decides what is appropriate for you.
- 3
Anything prescribed is yours
If the doctor prescribes, your eScript is sent to you directly from the doctor's prescribing system, ready for the pharmacy of your choice.
Common questions
Good to know
- Should I get blood tests first?
- It often helps. If you have not had recent bloodwork, arranging some general tests through your GP before the consult gives the doctor a fuller, objective picture. It is optional, and your doctor will let you know what is actually useful.
- How does the consult work?
- You book a time and answer a few short questions. A verified, AHPRA-registered Australian doctor calls you at that time, talks everything through, and decides what is appropriate for you. Consults are by phone and are never recorded.
- Will I get a prescription?
- That is entirely up to the doctor. They exercise independent clinical judgment about what, if anything, is appropriate for you. If they prescribe, your eScript is sent to you directly from the doctor's prescribing system, ready for the pharmacy of your choice.
- Can I book a follow-up?
- Yes. Once you have an account you can rebook a follow-up any time from your portal, with any available doctor, and returning members pay a lower follow-up price.
