Weight Management

You've counted calories, skipped meals, and pushed through endless workouts — yet the weighing scale barely moves. Sounds familiar?

At Parkway MediCentre, we understand how discouraging that can feel.

That's why we developed a comprehensive Weight Management Programme designed to help you learn how your body works and apply clinically proven strategies for safe, sustainable weight loss.

Through a personalised combination of medical therapy, nutrition planning, fitness coaching, and lifestyle support, we guide you towards meaningful progress — without harsh restrictions or crash diets.

This is not a quick fix. It's your bespoke blueprint for better health, guided by certified doctors and healthcare professionals who care about your long-term wellness.


How the programme works

How the programme works

Your journey begins with a detailed doctor consultation and a full-body medical evaluation to access your health status and identify the factors affecting your weight. These may include hormonal balance, cardiometabolic health, sleep quality, stress levels, dietary habits, activity levels and more.

Based on these findings, your care team will design a structured, holistic plan tailored to your lifestyle. You'll receive weight loss medication (if suitable), regular reviews, and dedicated ongoing support to help you progress safely and confidently towards your goals.

Medical therapy: GLP-1 medication

Medical therapy: GLP-1 medication

For individuals who are clinically obese or have weight-related health risks, GLP-1 medication may be recommended as part of the programme.

GLP-1 medications mimic glucagon-like peptide-1, a hormone naturally produced by your body after meals. They help regulate appetite, increase satiety, slow gastric emptying, and support metabolic balance.

Clinical studies show that GLP-1 medications may support weight reduction by approximately 5 – 15% over several months, especially when combined with nutritional and lifestyle modifications.

Important: GLP-1 medications are prescription-only. You will need to undergo a medical assessment and remain under doctor supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness throughout the programme.

Your weight management programme includes

Health and lifestyle assessment

Benefits of weight management

Every individual’s health profile is different, which is why a personalised approach matters. Here are some ways our weight management programme supports different lifestyles and medical needs:

Excess weight is a major risk factor for conditions such as hypertension, fatty liver disease, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Losing weight supports better disease control — even a 5% reduction in weight can lead to clinically meaningful improvements in your overall health.

Our programme provides a comprehensive plan that combines medical review, targeted nutrition adjustments, and safe physical activity to improve both your weight and your underlying health.

For individuals with OSA, we also assess sleep patterns and coordinate sleep studies and onsite specialist consultations (if needed) as part of your care.

How you may benefit: Improved metabolic control, steadier energy levels, better sleep quality and over time, reduced reliance on certain medications as your metabolic health improves.

Office-bound routines with prolonged sitting, low activity levels and convenience foods can quietly increase metabolic risk over time.

Your programme may include metabolic marker monitoring, low-GI or portion-controlled meal plans, and structured aerobic and strength exercises to help you ease into a more active routine.

With consistent monitoring and realistic habit-building, you'll achieve better metabolic health and long-term wellbeing.

How you may benefit: Improvements in blood sugar, stamina and overall wellbeing, along with gradual weight reduction and a lower risk of developing chronic disease.

It is a personalised, clinician-guided programme that combines medical assessments with nutrition planning, fitness guidance and lifestyle support. Unlike generic diets or off-the-shelf plans, our weight management programme is entirely tailored to your health profile, daily routine, and long-term goals.

Our weight management programme focuses on sustainable lifestyle change, guided by trained clinicians and fitness experts.

We do not recommend extreme dieting, unsafe supplements, or rapid weight loss methods. Instead, we help you build healthy habits to lose weight safely and keep it off long-term.

This programme is ideal for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start with weight management. You may benefit if you:

  • Have tried dieting or exercise without lasting success
  • Experience stress eating, low energy, or irregular meal patterns
  • Have weight-related conditions affecting your daily life
  • Want a holistic, guided approach that fits your lifestyle

During the first consultation, your doctor will assess your health profile and goals to advise whether this programme is the right fit for you.

Yes. Every journey begins with a thorough consultation and health screening. This helps your doctor understand your medical history, lifestyle patterns and goals, to ensure your plan is safe, appropriate, and personalised to your needs.

Yes. All components — including nutrition planning, exercise guidance, and any prescribed medication — are supervised by qualified clinicians, dietitians, and fitness professionals.

Your health, safety and comfort remain our priority throughout your journey.

Medication is recommended only when clinically appropriate and is never used on its own.

Your doctor will assess your metabolic health, medical history and lifestyle factors before deciding if medication should be part of your plan.

Yes, many patients seeking weight management also have chronic conditions.

Your personalised plan will be designed to support both weight control and the medical needs associated with your condition, including appropriate nutrition and activity guidance.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” diet. Your dietitian will help you create a balanced, portion-controlled eating plan based on the foods you enjoy, your schedule, and your health needs.

The goal is to help you develop sustainable eating habits, not deprive you of the meals you love.

Most individuals start noticing improvements in appetite, energy levels, and weight within 8 – 12 weeks.

Weight loss typically continues over the next few months, with many progressing to a maintenance phase once they achieve steady, consistent results.

Results vary for each individual, but most people experience 10 – 15% weight loss within 12 – 18 months when combining medical guidance, nutrition planning, and regular exercise. Your doctor and dietitian will help you set realistic, achievable goals based on your health profile and lifestyle.

That’s exactly why personalisation matters. We'll evaluate what you've tried previously, identify potential barriers (e.g. appetite, metabolism, stress, sleep, lifestyle) and build a plan that addresses these root causes, not just the symptoms.

Initially, reviews are scheduled every few weeks to monitor your progress and adjust your plan. As your habits stabilise, visits become less frequent, shifting towards maintenance and long-term support.

Pricing depends on the services included in your personalised plan. Common components include:

  • Doctor consultations (priced per visit)
  • Screening tests
  • Dietitian consultations
  • Fitness coaching sessions
  • Optional medication therapy and consumables

Depending on your needs, the programme may range from a few hundred dollars per month to higher if medical therapy is required. Your doctor will provide a clear breakdown and estimated cost during your initial consultation.

Yes. If you struggle with weight fluctuations, cravings, low energy, or early metabolic risk, the programme can help you build healthier habits before chronic issues develop. Personalised guidance is beneficial for individuals across different weight categories.
