Do I need to book an appointment?
We would recommend booking an appointment at least 6 to 8 weeks before your trip to allow our qualified travel pharmacists to comprehensively go over all vaccination and travel health needs effectively.
Booking an appointment isn’t always necessary for any last minute or short notice trips as consultations are available at short notice,and our specially trained travel pharmacist may be able to see you straight away – even close to your departure date
We offer convenient appointments to suit you Monday to Friday.
How does it work?
1) Visit Earls Barton Pharmacy, ideally 6-8 weeks before you travel, to ensure you have time to organise any vaccinations or medicines that you may need.
2) Our Pharmacist- will ask a few short questions around when and where you are travelling to check if any vaccinations or medications may be suggested for your trip.
3) Our Pharmacist will then be able to give you the vaccinations, medicines and advice you need to prepare for a healthy trip abroad.
What do I need to prepare for my consultation?
To ensure your travel health advice is personalised to your trip, you’ll need to come prepared with:
- Information about your trip (eg. destination, duration and planned activities, if known)
- Details of any medical conditions and/or medication you’re currently taking
- History of previous vaccinations (if known)
It’s also a good idea to wear a loose-fitting top so you can comfortably roll up your sleeve for any vaccinations needed.
The Role of Lifestyle Changes
While Wegovy can be effective on its own, its true potential is realised when combined with lifestyle changes aimed at promoting overall health and sustainable weight loss. Adopting healthy habits not only enhances the efficacy of Wegovy but also lays the foundation for long-term success and well-being.
Nutrition
Physical Activity
Behavioural Changes
Sleep and Stress Management
Social Support
A balanced and nutritious diet is essential for optimising the effects of Wegovy. Focus on incorporating plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains into your meals while limiting processed foods, sugary snacks, and excessive calorie-dense foods. Tracking your food intake and practising portion control can also help in managing calorie consumption.
Regular exercise is key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity each week, in addition to muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days per week. Find activities you enjoy and make them a regular part of your routine to improve cardiovascular health, build muscle, and boost metabolism.
Addressing underlying behaviours and habits that contribute to overeating or sedentary lifestyles is crucial for long-term success. Practice mindful eating by paying attention to hunger cues and eating slowly to savour your food. Identify triggers for unhealthy eating habits and develop strategies to overcome them, such as finding alternative coping mechanisms for stress or boredom.
Adequate sleep and stress management are often overlooked but play significant roles in weight management. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night to support overall health and regulate hunger hormones. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to mitigate the effects of stress on eating behaviours and metabolism.
Surrounding yourself with a supportive network of friends, family, or a weight loss community can provide encouragement, accountability, and motivation on your journey. Share your goals with others, celebrate successes together, and seek support during challenging times to stay on track and maintain momentum.
