Private GP weight management in Henlow — Medical weight loss with Mayfield Clinic

Engaging introduction

Nearly half of adults try to lose weight each year; lasting results usually need medical oversight. Short bursts of dieting rarely change metabolism or habits. At Mayfield Clinic we offer focused, medically supervised weight management for people in Henlow who want sustainable, safe change. Our approach mixes clinical assessment, personalised nutrition, practical habit work and, where appropriate, prescription treatments — all delivered with longer GP appointments and continuity of care.

Why choose a Private GP weight management programme in Henlow?

Many weight-loss services promise a quick fix. We start by understanding you. That means a detailed review of medical history, current medications, sleep, stress, menstrual or hormonal issues and any prior weight-loss attempts. Our GPs assess for underlying causes such as thyroid dysfunction, polycystic ovary syndrome or medication-related weight gain. This clinical-first mindset separates private GP weight management in Henlow from generic plans.

What a typical doctor-supervised weight loss pathway looks like

Initial consultation: a longer appointment with a named GP to set realistic goals and run baseline checks. Ongoing plan: tailored nutrition advice, activity planning that fits Henlow life, and psychological strategies to change eating patterns. Monitoring: regular reviews to adjust the plan and interpret blood tests. Medication: where clinically appropriate, we may offer prescription options to support calorie control — always with safety monitoring.

Medical weight management: safe, evidence-informed options

We offer access to newer licensed medicines as part of a wider, clinically supervised plan. These are tools, not replacements for lifestyle change. Your GP will explain benefits, side effects and monitoring needs so you can make an informed choice. For Henlow patients concerned about travel, note that our clinical consultations take place at our nearby Hitchin practice; appointments are a short drive from Henlow and can be booked online.

Continuity matters: seeing the same GP regularly improves outcomes. We ensure the same named doctor follows your progress.

Testing and monitoring

Expect targeted blood tests, metabolic screening and, where needed, hormonal panels. These investigations help tailor your plan and avoid guesswork. We repeat tests at intervals to measure progress and guard against complications. Results are explained in clear terms, not clinical jargon.

Nutrition and behavioural change — tailored to your Henlow routine

Patients in Henlow find success when plans fit local life: early-morning school runs, nearby walking routes and community schedules. We design simple, repeatable meal patterns and practical swaps that work whether you shop locally or commute. We also address sleep, stress and alcohol — all common, but often overlooked, influences on weight.

Convenience and continuity

Fast access to doctors is core to our service. Henlow patients can book quickly online via the Book now button on our site and will usually see the same GP for follow-ups. Members may book via phone or WhatsApp for added convenience. Although the consultations for Henlow patients are delivered from our Hitchin clinic (Mayfield Clinic Hitchin), we maintain local availability of advice and ongoing remote support.

Who benefits most from a GP weight loss programme?

People with complex health needs, those who’ve tried multiple diets, and anyone requiring medication or blood monitoring. Also suited to busy professionals and parents in Henlow who need efficient, personalised plans and reliable follow-up with a named GP.

How to start

Visit our Henlow information page (Mayfield Clinic — Henlow) to learn more about services for Henlow residents. To book an initial weight loss consultation, use the Book now button on our website. Members may call or message by WhatsApp to arrange appointments directly. Your first visit will include full assessment and a clear, achievable plan.

Quick practical tips you can use today

• Record three days of typical food and drink before your appointment — it speeds up tailoring the plan.
• Prioritise protein and whole foods at two meals a day to reduce evening snacking.
• Track sleep for a week; poor sleep often undermines weight loss and flags issues we can treat.

Local note for Henlow residents

Many Henlow patients tell us they prefer a short drive to Hitchin for clinically focussed care rather than large wait times locally. Our Hitchin practice combines accessibility with the continuity Henlow patients value — the same named GP, longer appointments and a clear medical pathway to weight loss.
