Weight Loss
Introduction
At Viva Life, we understand that weight loss is about more than just appearance — it’s about improving your health, confidence, and overall quality of life. Even a modest reduction in weight can bring powerful health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure, improving cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes, easing joint pain, enhancing mobility, and boosting daily energy. Our programme is designed to support you safely, effectively, and with ongoing care you can trust.
What to Expect
– Eligibility questionnaire – completed before your consultation.
– Initial online consultation (up to 45 minutes) – full medical review and personalised treatment plan. A prescription will be issued if clinically safe and appropriate.
