Private GP weight management in Harrogate — medically supervised, personalised care

Two-thirds of adults in England are living with overweight or obesity; tackling weight safely needs medical expertise, not quick fixes. If you live in Harrogate and want a structured, evidence-led plan, Mayfield Clinic's private GP weight management brings specialist assessment, prescription options and continuity of care to your journey.

Why choose a private GP weight management programme?

Our approach blends medical assessment with realistic lifestyle change. As a patient seeking Private GP weight management in Harrogate you get longer consultations with a named doctor, fast access to appointments and tailored plans that account for your health history, medications and goals. We look for underlying causes — thyroid issues, insulin resistance, sleep problems or medication effects — rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice.

What happens at your first weight loss consultation?

The initial weight loss consultation private session covers a full medical history, targeted examination and baseline measurements (weight, BMI, blood pressure). Blood tests are arranged where needed to check hormones, lipids and glucose. From that assessment your GP will recommend a personalised plan: realistic target rates of weight loss, dietary adjustments, activity guidance and whether medical weight loss or prescription medication is appropriate for you.

Medical weight loss and doctor-supervised options

Mayfield Clinic offers medical weight loss Harrogate patients can access through our Leeds clinic. Where clinically appropriate your GP may prescribe evidence-based medications to support appetite control and metabolic change, always combined with lifestyle support. Doctor supervised weight loss in Harrogate includes regular reviews to adjust doses, monitor side effects and measure progress.

“Safe weight loss is steady, supervised and tailored — our GPs prioritise health outcomes as much as scale readings.”

Ongoing support: continuity matters

Weight is influenced by biology and behaviour. Regular check-ups with the same named doctor help identify plateaus, tweak plans and address psychological or hormonal contributors. Our Harrogate-focused service ensures you see the same GP consistently, even though consultations are carried out at our Leeds clinic when required — see our Leeds location for clinic details: Mayfield Clinic Leeds.
