At Tywi Health, we know that losing weight is about more than just looking good—it’s about feeling good, inside and out. Your weight plays a key role in both your physical health and mental well-being, and maintaining a healthy balance can have life-changing benefits.
Carrying excess weight can put a strain on your body, increasing the risk of serious health conditions. By reaching and maintaining a healthy weight, you can:
Reduce the Risk of Chronic Illness – Obesity is linked to conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and certain cancers. Losing even a small percentage of excess weight can lower these risks significantly.
✔ Improve Joint Health – Extra weight puts pressure on your joints, particularly in the knees and hips, leading to pain and mobility issues. Losing weight can relieve strain and improve movement.
✔ Boost Energy Levels – Carrying extra weight makes everyday activities harder. Shedding excess pounds can help you feel lighter, more active, and full of energy.
✔ Enhance Sleep Quality – Obesity is a major risk factor for sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. Achieving a healthy weight can improve sleep quality and overall restfulness.
✔ Support a Strong Immune System – A balanced weight and nutritious diet help keep your immune system functioning at its best, making it easier to fight off infections and illnesses.
Your weight and lifestyle habits don’t just affect your body—they influence your mental health, self-esteem, and overall happiness. When you take control of your weight and health, you can:
✔ Boost Your Mood – Regular exercise and a balanced diet help regulate hormones, reduce stress, and lower the risk of anxiety and depression.
✔ Increase Self-Confidence – Feeling comfortable in your own skin can improve your self-image and give you a greater sense of control over your life.
✔ Sharpen Your Mind – Studies show that a healthy weight and lifestyle can improve memory, concentration, and cognitive function.
✔ Build Better Relationships – When you feel your best, you’re more likely to engage in social activities, build meaningful connections, and enjoy life to the fullest.
At Tywi Health, we take a holistic, doctor-led approach to weight management. Unlike quick-fix diets, we focus on sustainable changes that help you lose weight and keep it off. Our expert GPs provide personalised plans that may include:
✔ Medications where clinically appropriate to support your weight loss journey
✔ Lifestyle coaching to build long-term healthy habits
✔ Nutritional guidance tailored to your body’s needs
✔ Ongoing support and monitoring to keep you on track
To allow us to get to know you and your medical background, and to establish your goals we will take a full medical history and conduct an appropriate examination, including a measurement of Body Mass Index (BMI). With this information, we can tailor and create a bespoke plan to help you towards your goals.
Book an appointmentWe will explain how the weight loss plan may be implemented. This may include the appropriate and safe prescribing of medications and will also involve discussions about practical and sustainable lifestyle approaches that will complement and sustain the medication-enabled weight loss.
Subsequent consultations provide support and monitoring. Also in these appointments, it may be appropriate to increase medication dosing or adjust the lifestyle plan to suit your needs.
