Private GP weight management in Reading: doctor‑led plans for lasting results

Weight loss

20/10/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

An honest, medical approach to sustainable weight loss for Reading patients

Nearly half of adults report trying to lose weight each year. Choosing the right medical support changes the odds. At Mayfield Clinic we offer private GP weight management in Reading with longer consultations, continuity with the same doctor and medically supervised plans tailored to your life.

How our private GP weight management in Reading works

We begin with a detailed assessment: medical history, current medications, hormone and metabolic screening where indicated, and a realistic discussion about lifestyle. That first consultation gives us time to identify underlying causes that often get missed in quick clinic appointments.

Next, your GP develops a personalised plan. This may include nutrition advice, targeted activity goals, repeat blood testing, and where appropriate, prescription weight management medication. Every plan is clinically supervised and adjusted at regular check-ups so progress is safe and sustained.

Clinical services you can expect

Why choose a private GP weight loss programme in Reading?

Private care at Mayfield Clinic delivers fast access to doctors and continuity — you see the same named doctor who understands your history and goals. That consistency makes follow‑up meaningful: small adjustments to medication or plan are made based on your real progress, not a one‑off snapshot.

“Medical supervision reduces risk and improves long‑term outcomes — it’s not about quick fixes, it’s about safe change.”

Medications and modern options

When clinically appropriate, our GPs can prescribe licensed weight management medications. These are used as an adjunct to lifestyle change and monitored closely. Not every patient needs medication; for many, nutrition coaching and metabolic testing make the difference. For Reading residents, we explain clearly how each option works and the evidence behind it.

What to expect at your first appointment

Your GP will take a full medical history, measure weight and body composition where useful, and request any relevant blood tests. Expect a plan with short, medium and long‑term goals, plus scheduled follow‑ups to review results and adapt the approach.

Practical tips you can use today

Start with a 7‑day food and activity diary. Bring it to your first consultation — it saves time and highlights real habits. Aim for protein at every meal to reduce hunger, and schedule sleep like an appointment; poor sleep commonly undermines weight loss. Small, consistent changes beat dramatic short‑term cuts.

Patients with medical conditions such as pre‑diabetes, hormonal imbalances, or on multiple medications often get the greatest benefit. So do people who’ve tried commercial programmes without success. If you want a professional weight loss support team that integrates medical assessment, practical coaching and medication where needed, our GP weight loss programme for Reading could be the right step.

Frequently asked questions

What does a private GP weight management consultation in Reading include?

Private GP weight management in Reading begins with a clinical assessment to identify underlying causes (thyroid, metabolic issues, medications). Your GP will create a tailored plan that may include blood tests, diet and activity guidance, behavioural support and, when appropriate, prescription weight management medication. Appointments are scheduled for continuity so you see the same named doctor.

Can a private GP in Reading prescribe weight loss medication?

Yes. If clinically appropriate, our GPs can prescribe licensed weight loss medications as part of a medically supervised plan. These are monitored at follow‑up appointments in our Wokingham clinic for Reading patients. Medication is combined with lifestyle advice rather than used as a standalone fix.
