Obesity & Weight Management
Maintaining a healthy weight is essential for overall health, mobility, confidence, and long-term disease prevention.
At EveryMed General Practice, we provide personalised, medically guided weight-management plans that focus on long-lasting lifestyle change, safe treatment options, and ongoing support.
Understanding Obesity & Weight Challenges
Obesity is a chronic medical condition caused by multiple factors, including metabolism, hormones, lifestyle, genetics, emotional triggers, and medical conditions such as thyroid disorders.
It is not simply “eating too much” it is a complex condition that requires a structured and personalised approach.
We help patients with:
- Difficulty losing weight
- Weight gain linked to hormones, stress, or lifestyle
- Obesity-related complications
- Weight regain after dieting
- Low energy, fatigue, or poor fitness levels
A medical assessment ensures you receive safe and realistic guidance.
Common Symptoms & Health Risks
Being overweight or obese may cause:
- Tiredness and low energy
- Joint pain or back pain
- Breathlessness
- Sleep problems (including sleep apnoea)
- Low confidence or mood changes
- Rising blood pressure or blood sugar
- High cholesterol
Long-term risks include diabetes, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, and certain cancer making early management essential.
Causes of Weight Gain
Weight gain can be related to:
- Slow metabolism
- Hormonal imbalance (thyroid, insulin, cortisol)
- Stress or emotional eating
- Sedentary lifestyle
- High-calorie diet
- Genetics and family history
- Certain medications
- Poor sleep
At EveryMed, we identify the underlying causes to tailor your treatment plan.

Your weight-management plan begins with a full health review, which may include:
- BMI and body measurements
- Blood pressure check
- Blood tests (thyroid, glucose, cholesterol, liver function)
- Lifestyle, stress, and diet assessment
- Review of current medications that may affect weight
- Evaluation of weight-related symptoms
This helps us create an effective and personalised strategy.
