None of these is right for everyone. Your GP can help you decide where to start.
Support you can be referred to by your GP, depending on where you live and your circumstances.
Support with habits, activity and eating, often group or app based.
A registered dietitian builds and adjusts an eating plan with you.
A clinic monitors your health as you go, usually with regular check-ins.
A registered prescriber decides whether any prescription option is appropriate for you.
Specialists assess whether surgery could be appropriate, usually after other approaches.
A responsible programme asks about your health and medication before it starts.
You can see who they are and check their registration.
No guarantees of fast or specific results.
You know the total, what it covers and how to cancel.
The programme is comfortable with you checking in with your doctor.
They talk about keeping progress going, not only starting.
Ask for names and registration numbers, and check them.
Fees, products, check-ins and anything extra, in writing.
Ask about refunds and minimum commitments before paying.
They should explain these clearly for anything medical or any product.
Ask how often and by whom.
Ask what they would change, and when they would suggest another approach.
We connect you with one verified provider who understands what you need. No hard sell, and no obligation.
There are many different approaches. You hear what each involves before you decide whether any of them is for you.
Anything that affects your health is best discussed with your own GP. A good provider will encourage that.
You can ask questions and compare programmes, and nobody pushes you to pay upfront.
They include NHS services you can be referred to by your GP, commercial slimming programmes, coaching and lifestyle support, dietitian-led plans, private medical clinics, treatment prescribed by a clinician, and assessment for surgery. Which suits you depends on your health and goals, and your GP can help you think it through.
Yes, particularly if you have a health condition or take medication. Namoye doesn't give medical advice. A matched provider can explain their programme, but your GP knows your history, and may be able to refer you to NHS support.
It varies widely by programme and provider. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask what the total would be, what is included and how to cancel, before you pay.
Doctors are on the General Medical Council register, dietitians on the Health and Care Professions Council register, and nurses on the Nursing and Midwifery Council register. 'Nutritionist' isn't a protected title, so ask about their qualifications. Private clinics in England should be registered with the Care Quality Commission.
Only a registered prescriber can prescribe them, after assessing you, and the decision is theirs and yours. Ask about the benefits, risks and side effects, how long treatment would last, and what happens when you stop. Only buy medicines from a pharmacy registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council, and be very wary of products sold without a consultation.
Be careful with promises of fast or guaranteed results, no health check, pressure to pay for a long package upfront, and products without clear ingredients or evidence. Ask for details in writing.
It varies from person to person. Be cautious of anyone who promises a specific result in a set time. Ask the provider what they would expect for someone in your situation, and how they measure progress.
It is a serious decision. Ask about the surgeon's registration and experience, the risks, the aftercare and the total cost, and speak to your GP. The NHS offers it only in certain circumstances.
What you hope to achieve, whether you have private cover, and your postcode. Keep your health history and medication list for the provider, not the form.
