Private GP weight management in Chigwell: medically supervised plans that work

Many people try diets alone; only about 20% keep weight off long term.Professional medical support changes that statistic dramatically. At Mayfield Clinic we offer tailored, doctor-led weight management for patients searching for Private GP weight management in Chigwell—delivered from our nearby Loughton practice for fast access and continuity with the same named clinician.

Why choose a private GP for weight loss?

Quick fixes rarely address the reasons a person gains weight. A private GP weight loss programme in Chigwell begins with a full medical assessment: bloods, hormones, medications review and an exploration of sleep, stress and mental health. That matters because issues such as hypothyroidism or polycystic ovarian syndrome can block progress unless they’re treated.

What our medical weight management includes

Our GP weight loss programme in Chigwell provides personalised care plans that combine evidence-based nutrition guidance, realistic activity goals and medical treatments where appropriate. We can prescribe licensed weight management medications when clinically indicated, and we monitor results with regular reviews and repeat blood tests. Appointments are longer than standard NHS consultations so your doctor has time to understand the full picture.

Doctor-supervised treatment options

Doctor supervised weight loss in Chigwell can include behaviour change coaching, structured meal plans, and prescription therapies. Newer medications can be highly effective as an adjunct to lifestyle changes; our GPs will explain benefits, side effects and how these drugs fit with your health profile. We emphasise safety and ongoing monitoring.

Continuity and access: the Mayfield Clinic difference

Fast access to a named doctor is central to our approach. Patients from Chigwell are seen at our Loughton clinic, but we treat every plan as local care—consider it Chigwell-focused medical weight management delivered from Loughton. Book now online for the earliest available appointment. Members may also book by phone or WhatsApp for added convenience.

How we measure progress

Progress is more than the scales. We track weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, glucose and lipid levels, and patient-reported outcomes such as energy and mood. If progress stalls, your GP adjusts medication, nutrition targets or referral to allied services such as dietitians or counselling.

Who benefits most?

Adults with obesity-related conditions, those preparing for surgery, or people who have tried multiple diets without sustained results often see the greatest improvements from medical weight management in Chigwell. We tailor intensity and follow-up frequency to your needs.
