Pathway

Maintenance

You've worked hard to lose weight, and this phase is about keeping it off. With a careful taper, appetite support, and ongoing guidance, we'll help you stay steady and confident for the long term.

Maintenance Programme
How it works

Your Maintenance Journey

1

Ready for Maintenance?

Begin with a quick check to confirm you've reached the right stage, followed by an introductory consultation.

2

Your Taper Plan

Work with a nurse to design a gradual step-down schedule tailored to your needs, usually spread over 6 months.

3

Keep the Momentum

Monthly check-ins with your nurse to track progress, manage appetite changes, and stay accountable. We'll help you maintain the healthy habits that got you here.

4

Adjustments as Needed

If cravings return or weight creeps back, your plan is adjusted. This may mean staying at your dose or adding nutrition support.

5

Life Beyond Medication

As you taper, we'll lock in progress with diet, exercise, and habits, then either maintain a low dose or stop without rebound.

6

Support on Standby

After completing the plan, you can choose occasional follow-ups to stay on track. Think of it as a safety net — we're always here if you need us.

Who is the Maintenance Plan for

Who Is It For?

Successful Graduates of Weight Loss Programmes

If you've completed our Clinician-Led or self-directed plan and lost a significant amount of weight, the Maintenance Pathway is your next step.

Long-Term GLP-1 Users (~2+ years)

People who have been on medications like Mounjaro/Wegovy for a long time and are ready to transition to a long-term strategy.

At or Near Goal Weight

Those who have achieved a healthy BMI or their personal target weight and want to hold steady and prevent relapse.

Worried About Stopping Medication

If you feel anxious about what happens after you stop taking your injections — we specifically address those concerns.

Experiencing "Food Noise" on Lower Doses

If you've noticed your appetite roaring back when cutting doses, we can help manage that through minimal effective dosing and behavioural techniques.

Considering Bariatric Surgery Post-Medication

Try Maintenance first. We provide medical oversight similar to bariatric aftercare but without surgical risks.

Why Maintenance Matters

Keep the Weight Off for Good

Stopping medication suddenly can cause weight to return quickly. With a gradual taper and ongoing support, our plan helps you avoid the 'yo-yo' effect.

Step Down Smoothly

Our team designs a step-down plan to find the lowest dose needed, if any, to maintain your results. This gentle approach helps your body adjust smoothly.

Stay in Control of Cravings

We keep a close eye on your appetite signals. If hunger starts to creep back, we can adjust your dose or introduce supportive strategies.

Never On Your Own

With professionals guiding your maintenance, you'll always know the next step. From nutrition support to appearance concerns, our team keeps you confident.

Save More as You Progress

The Maintenance Pathway lowers expenses as doses taper and is priced to support members over time. A smart financial step for long-term treatment.

Build Confidence, Lock In Habits

This is the shift from 'losing mode' to 'living mode,' where your new weight becomes your new normal. Strengthen the habits that keep weight off for good.

Which Plan is Best for Me?

Whether you'd like close guidance from clinicians, prefer to manage things more independently, or are ready to focus on maintaining your progress, there's a plan designed for you.
