A Holistic, Medical Approach to Weight
Weight is influenced by many factors – not just diet and exercise. Hormones, metabolism, medical conditions, medications, mental health, and lifestyle all play a role.
Our clinic is designed to look deeper, helping you understand why your weight is changing and what can be done to support long-term health.

During your extended consultation with Dr Deacon, we will:
- Review your medical history, lifestyle, and weight goals
- Explore potential contributors to weight concerns, including:
- Hormonal factors

- Screening for causes of weight gain or difficulty gaining weight
