Weight loss

Private GP weight management for Claydon residents

Struggling with weight can affect energy, mood and long-term health. At Mayfield Clinic we offer a different approach to weight loss for people in Claydon — one that is medical, tailored and sustainable. Our GPs take time to understand your medical history, test for underlying causes and build a realistic plan you can stick to.

Appointments for Claydon patients are provided from our Ipswich practice; you can find directions and details here: Mayfield Clinic Ipswich. For local information about our services near Claydon see our Claydon page: Mayfield Clinic — Claydon.

What a private GP weight management programme looks like

We begin with a detailed weight loss consultation private to you: medical review, blood tests, measurement of metabolic markers and discussion of lifestyle and barriers. From there your named GP—who you see regularly—writes a plan covering nutrition, activity, sleep and mental health strategies. Where clinically appropriate, we may add prescription medical weight loss options to support progress.

Medical assessment and monitoring

Many patients in Claydon are surprised to learn that conditions such as hypothyroidism, insulin resistance or certain medications can hinder weight loss. Our team tests for these and monitors changes with follow-up appointments, adjusting treatment safely. Regular review reduces side-effect risk and keeps your goals realistic.

Personalised lifestyle and nutrition support

We avoid one-size-fits-all diets. Our GPs provide evidence-based nutrition guidance and practical tips you can use in Claydon — for example, shopping and meal-prep ideas suited to local markets and commuting patterns to Ipswich. We also discuss behaviour change techniques to help you manage cravings, stress-related eating and social situations.

Prescription and advanced options

Where appropriate, our Claydon patients can access doctor supervised weight loss medications as part of a broader plan. These newer therapies can accelerate early weight loss when combined with lifestyle change. Your named GP explains benefits, risks and monitoring requirements before prescribing.

Longer consultations and continuity of care mean we treat the whole person — not just a number on the scale.

Who benefits from our GP weight loss programme in Claydon?

People with a BMI indicating clinical risk, those with weight-related health conditions, or anyone who has struggled with repeated short-term diets. We tailor plans for all adults and work closely with you if you live in Claydon but attend our Ipswich clinic.

Local note for Claydon residents

Many Claydon patients appreciate that a short trip to Ipswich gives them access to longer consultations and continuity with the same named GP — something larger clinics often cannot offer. We aim to make travel time worthwhile with practical, clinic-to-community support.
