Weight Loss Service- Slendr
Weight loss is something most people will go through at some point in their life, whether it’s looking to lose a small amount of weight or completely change their lifestyle habits to lose a significant amount. Weight loss is a personal journey for each person, and we’re here to support you on your way with our weight loss service – Slendr.
Weight loss is more than just calorie counting. Many people fail to understand that weight loss is a process which requires you to change your habits and attitude towards eating and exercise. Through a combination of weight loss medication, coaching and support we can help you completely transform your life and reach your ideal weight. To get started book your free assessment with Slendr.
If you’re ready to get started with weight loss our pharmacists and weight loss experts at Slendr can put a weight loss plan together to help you reach your goals. Our aim is to help you find a new approach to diet and exercise that helps you lose weight and keep it off long after you stop taking weight loss medication.
Recently weight loss medications like Wegovy and Mounjaro have captured the attention of the nation as people are seeing the impacts they can have and the weight that you can lose using them. While these medications can help you lose weight where you’ve struggled previously, it’s when they’re combined with lifestyle changes that they can make the biggest impact. With Slendr we not only help support you to use these medications but we’ll help you build habits for long term health.
Understanding Wegovy
Weight loss medications like Wegovy and Mounjaro work by mimicking the action of hormones which help to regulate appetite and food intake. By stimulating these hormone receptors in the brain, Wegovy and Mounjaro help to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, naturally leading to a decrease in calorie intake. Where previously you might finish a meal and still feel like you want to snack, with these weight loss medications you’ll feel satiated sooner and consume less calories as a result.
While these medications can help you lose weight, it’s important to make healthy lifestyle choices to really see the benefits of these medications. If you’d like to see if you’re suitable to take these medications, fill in our free assessment form here.
The Role of Lifestyle Changes
While weight loss medication can be effective on its own, it really works when combined with lifestyle changes focussed on increasing your exercise and making good food choices. A combination of these factors not only improves the efficacy of Wegovy and Mounjaro, but helps you set long lasting habits that lead to sustained healthy weight loss.

Physical Activity
Regular exercise is key to keeping your body fit, healthy and can help you lose 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. The key to making exercise a part of your life in the long term is choosing activities you enjoy and making them a consistent part of your routine.
Behavioural Changes
Losing weight not only takes exercise and healthy food choices, but also looking at your relationship with food. At Slendr we'll help you identify triggers that lead you to chose more unhealthy foods, encourage you to over eat and when you're most likely to snack. We'll help you find different ways to cope with stress and help you build healthy long term food habits.
Sleep and Stress Management
Social Support
Surrounding yourself with a supportive network of friends, family, or a weight loss community can provide encouragement, accountability, and motivation on your journey. This is why patients using Slendr are more likely to lose and keep weight off vs just taking weight loss medication. We're here to support you at your regular check ins and on whatsapp whenever you need advice or support.
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.

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.
Maximise Your Results
By combining weight loss medications with healthy lifestyle changes, you can transform your health and lose weight successfully. Here’s how lifestyle changes and Slendr work with weight loss medications to give you the best results.
Enhanced Weight Loss
Wegovy is a great start to reducing hunger and calorie intake, but incorporating healthier lifestyle choices can speed up your weight loss even more.
