Weight Management
It's not that simple
It’s a myth that people with obesity make a lifestyle choice to eat too much and exercise too little.
Obesity is a complex condition influenced by genetic, epigenetic, physiological, metabolic, social, environmental and psychological factors.
Weight loss is a journey
Most people have tried to lose weight many times on their own before they seek medical treatment.
The body has hormonal and metabolic responses to weight loss which often lead people to quickly regain lost weight.
You are not alone
Obesity is extremely common. It affects approximately 31% of the Australian adult population.
Misconceptions and negative stereotypes lead people with obesity to encounter multiple forms of prejudice and discrimination leaving them feeling isolated and alone.
