Weight management
Effective weight management is more than willpower. Low testosterone and Cortisol levels, lack of sleep, and stress all play a part in your symptoms. A proper assessment shows what's driving your weight and what a sustainable plan means.
Doctor-led
Clinical decisions made by GMC-registered doctors
Start with your concern
Struggling to manage your weight?
You don't need to know the cause before asking for support. An assessment is the starting point, not a diagnosis.
- Your weight has become difficult to manage
- Diets or training plans haven't been sustainable
- You suspect hormones, sleep or stress may be part of the picture
- You want support that considers your wider health, not just the scales
Your next steps
Understand the cause. Consider the options.
01
Start with the Prime Check
A questionnaire about your symptoms and goals. It does not provide a diagnosis or determine treatment suitability.
02
Take a blood test
Your results are reviewed by a GMC-registered doctor, so any recommendation rests on evidence rather than symptoms alone.
03
Clinical assessment
A clinician reviews your weight history, health conditions, current medicines and goals. Where appropriate, blood tests can check markers such as hormones, blood sugar and cholesterol, so the plan is built on evidence rather than guesswork.
Your clinician explains the findings and any suitable next steps, including the benefits and risks of clinical options. A plan may cover nutrition, movement, sleep and, where clinically appropriate, medical support. The right plan depends on your individual assessment — treatment and weight loss are not guaranteed. Medication protocols are subject to doctor review.
Clear costs before you commit.
Take the tests and have a consultation. Start with the initial blood test, then a consultation with a doctor to agree your plan. Weight-management care prices are confirmed before you commit.
FAQs
What is Enovar's approach to weight management?
We look beyond the number on the scales, focusing on metabolic health, body composition, nutrition, physical activity and sustainable lifestyle improvements.
Who is weight-management support for?
Men looking to manage excess weight, improve body composition or better understand the factors influencing their weight and metabolic health.
How do I know if I'm eligible for medical weight management?
Eligibility depends on factors including BMI, medical history, existing health conditions and the specific treatment being considered. An independent clinician determines suitability.
Do I need weight-loss injections?
Not necessarily. Medication is one possible option, but nutrition, physical activity and behavioural changes remain important components of weight management.
What are GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1-based medicines act on pathways involved in appetite and fullness. Certain medicines are licensed for weight management in eligible patients and require a prescription.
Can losing weight improve my energy and wellbeing?
Managing excess weight may improve aspects of physical wellbeing and reduce certain health risks. Individual results vary.
Can being overweight lower testosterone levels?
Yes. Excess body fat, particularly abdominal fat, is associated with lower testosterone levels in some men.
Obesity can affect hormonal regulation and metabolic health.
In men with obesity-related functional testosterone suppression, sustained weight loss may improve testosterone levels without requiring TRT.
Why might I struggle to lose weight despite exercising and eating well?
Weight management is influenced by multiple factors, including energy intake, physical activity, sleep, medications, genetics and underlying health conditions.
Hormonal or metabolic disorders can sometimes contribute, although they are not responsible for every weight-management difficulty.
A clinician can assess whether further investigation is appropriate.
Will I lose muscle as well as fat?
Muscle loss can occur during weight reduction. Appropriate nutrition, sufficient protein and resistance exercise may help minimise it.
How quickly can I expect results?
Progress varies depending on your starting point, health, lifestyle and any treatment recommended. Sustainable progress is preferable to unrealistic rapid-loss targets.
What side effects can weight-management medication cause?
Depending on the medicine, side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation and abdominal discomfort. More serious adverse effects are possible and should be discussed with your prescriber.
What happens if I stop medication?
Weight regain can occur after stopping treatment. Long-term lifestyle habits and appropriate clinical follow-up remain important.
Can I explore weight management while receiving TRT?
Yes, although any proposed treatment combination requires individual medical assessment.
Who makes medication decisions?
All prescribing decisions are made by appropriately qualified independent clinicians, not Enovar Health.
Is medical weight management suitable for everyone?
No. Suitability depends on your health, medical history and the treatment being considered.
Is my information confidential?
Personal and medical information is handled in accordance with applicable UK data-protection and clinical confidentiality requirements.
How do I get started?
Begin with an initial health assessment to understand your needs and explore appropriate options.
