Consultant-led, individualised medical weight-management programmes
If diets and willpower alone haven’t worked, that’s not a personal failing — it usually means the hormonal or metabolic piece hasn’t been looked at properly. Weight is influenced by far more than food and exercise, and treating it as a simple calories-in-calories-out problem leaves a lot of women stuck.
Our Medical Weight Management Clinic starts with a proper assessment of what’s actually driving your weight, then builds a plan that may combine lifestyle and nutritional support with evidence-based medical treatment, reviewed and adjusted as you progress, not handed to you once and left.
Your care is led by LUNA’s metabolic and endocrine specialists — including Dr Ali Abbara, Consultant Endocrinologist and Reader in Endocrinology, Dr Sophie Clarke, Consultant Reproductive Endocrinologist, and Prof Bassel Wattar — bringing genuine hormonal and metabolic expertise to weight management, not a generic programme.
Struggling to lose weight isn’t a lack of willpower — it’s often biology that hasn’t been properly assessed.
We start with a detailed history and examination, alongside blood tests where appropriate to check for hormonal, metabolic or endocrine factors that could be affecting your weight. From there, we build an individualised plan — this may include nutritional and lifestyle support, and, where clinically appropriate, evidence-based weight-management medication, always explained clearly and reviewed regularly rather than started and forgotten.
Where assessment points to something more specific — insulin resistance, a hormonal or endocrine condition, PCOS, or the menopause transition — we move you into the right dedicated LUNA pathway, so your treatment addresses the actual cause, not just the symptom.

It starts with a specialist assessment of the hormonal and metabolic factors that may be contributing to your weight, rather than assuming diet and exercise alone are the whole picture — treatment is then built and monitored around what’s actually found.
It’s possible — conditions such as PCOS, insulin resistance and thyroid disorders, as well as the menopause transition, can all make weight harder to manage. Our assessment is designed to investigate this properly rather than assume it.
This depends on your individual health profile and is assessed case by case, alongside lifestyle and nutritional support — it’s never a first or only step, and we’ll always explain the realistic benefits and risks.
Yes — any medical treatment is reviewed regularly, so your plan can be adjusted based on how you’re actually responding, not left running unchecked.
You’ll be seen by consultant specialists with genuine endocrine and metabolic expertise, with time for a proper individual assessment rather than a brief, generic consultation.
