Lifestyle Management

The lifestyle clinic is open to individuals who are overweight and who are committed to losing weight and changing their lifestyle. There are many health problems associated with being overweight such as high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease and infertility.

Losing weight and making lifestyle changes can help protect against these medical problems or even slow down their progression. The data from this clinic show that those individuals who complete the programme lose on average 7% of their starting weight with improvements in blood sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides and quality of life score.
