The Your Weigh Team Medication Careplan
Our goal is to help you get the best out of using a weight loss medication. This isn't as easy as just taking the medication and losing weight.
If you're already on a weight loss medication and need support with your emotions and mind around food noise and eating behaviour, please click here.
Our team approach is designed to give you the best return on the investment of your time and money, especially as weight loss medications are currently unfunded.

To get the best out of your experience, we recommend:
- an initial assessment with senior weight management nurse Kate Berridge
- a 15 minute follow-up Zoom call with Kate on Day 21 (after starting with medication) for guidance on how to get the best out of the medication as you approach the full dose
- an evaluation appointment with Kate during Week 12 - this is the point where a lot of people begin to struggle, and can benefit from mental and behavioural help.
Details and pricing for each appointment are listed below.

This check-in with Kate will look at how you're doing mentally and physically. It's common to have physical discomfort but there's often confusion about how this medication works. It's quite different to other medications as it affects how you feel about eating, both your hunger and feelings of fullness.
It's a unique experience, and Kate's work with patients has found it's important for people to understand what is happening for them and why, so they can get the best out of the medication's effectiveness.
You'll get personalised advice on hunger and eating behaviour to help you as you move up to the full dose.
HOW TO BOOK: email hello@yourweighteam.co.nz for appointment options.
Payment for these services is required ahead of the appointment, unless agreed otherwise.

Using weight loss medications is often a roller coaster, physically and emotionally. This appointment is to help you get the very best out of what are expensive medications.
It's common for people to give up around this point because they believe side effects aren't worth it, or that the medication isn't working for them. It's also common to struggle with mental and emotional behaviours around food, appetite, hunger cues and soothing, causing possible plateaus.
Kate will look at how you're doing both physically and mentally, and make recommendations for your next steps. That may be continuing with your current prescription with some tweaks to its management, or she may suggest an option that might suit you better.
She will also be able to offer guidance on how to better manage your appetite, eating cues, and other food behaviours.
HOW TO BOOK: email hello@yourweighteam.co.nz for appointment options.
Payment for these services is required before the appointment, unless agreed otherwise.
