No referral is required. You can book your initial
consultation directly through our website or by
calling us on 0450 094 408. Your first appointment
is a mandatory 45–60 minute pre-program consultation
with Samantha, after which pathology testing and a
medical review with our supervising physician are
coordinated before you commence.
That said, if you have a complex medical history or
are on multiple medications, it can be helpful to
let your GP know you are starting a medically
supervised weight management program. Samantha will
advise you on this at your consultation based on
your individual circumstances.
We have worked with clients who have a wide range
of health backgrounds — including those with Type 2
diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol,
thyroid conditions, and hormonal concerns. However,
suitability is assessed individually for every client
before commencing.
All clients complete pathology testing and a medical
review with our supervising physician as part of the
pre-program process. If the program is not appropriate
for your health situation, we will tell you honestly —
and help point you in the right direction.
Note: There are certain conditions that may preclude
participation in the program. These are discussed
privately at your consultation. Please disclose all
current medications and health conditions at your
initial appointment.
The active phase of the program runs for either
3 or 6 weeks depending on your individual goals and
health assessment. This is followed by a structured
3-week metabolic stabilisation phase, which is a
critical part of the program — not optional.
Stabilisation is where the body adjusts to its new
weight set point and where lasting results are
established.
After stabilisation, Samantha works with you on a
long-term maintenance approach — practical knowledge
and habits that you take with you beyond the program
itself.
The program involves a structured, low-calorie
nutritional protocol built around whole foods —
lean proteins, vegetables, and selected fruits —
combined with practitioner-grade supplements, weekly
coaching sessions with Samantha, and medical
supervision throughout.
All clinical components of the program — including
any medically administered elements — are discussed
in full at your pre-program consultation and are
managed under medical supervision. We discuss these
details privately rather than on our public website,
in line with Australian health advertising
regulations.
Note: If you have specific questions about the
clinical components of the program before booking,
you are welcome to contact us directly.
Weight loss varies significantly between
individuals and is influenced by starting weight,
body composition, age, hormonal factors, metabolic
rate, adherence to the program, and other personal
health variables. We are not able to predict or
guarantee a specific outcome for any individual.
What we can tell you is that clients who complete
the full program — including the stabilisation phase
— and who follow Samantha's guidance consistently,
typically achieve meaningful changes in body
composition. The results of the program are discussed
at your consultation based on your individual
starting point and goals.
Note: You may have seen specific weight loss numbers
quoted elsewhere online in relation to this type of
program. Under Australian health advertising
guidelines, we are not able to quote specific average
weight loss figures. We discuss realistic,
individualised expectations privately at your
consultation.
The metabolic stabilisation phase is specifically
designed to help the body establish a new weight set
point — which is a key factor in long-term
maintenance. Beyond that, the nutritional knowledge
and habits built during the program are designed to
give you a practical foundation for managing your
weight independently.
Long-term results depend on lifestyle choices after
the program ends. Our goal is not to keep you coming
back to the clinic indefinitely — it is to equip
you with the understanding and tools to maintain
your results independently. Samantha's maintenance
guidance is part of every program.
The program structure is the same for all clients
— but how it is applied is tailored to your
individual physiology, health history, and goals.
Men and women respond differently to nutritional
change, and Samantha takes this into account when
designing your personal plan. Approximately one third
of our weight management clients are men.
Very low calorie dietary protocols are used in
clinical settings under specific, supervised
conditions — and ours is no different. The calorie
restriction in the active phase of our program is
time-limited (3 or 6 weeks) and is conducted under
medical supervision with regular monitoring
throughout.
All clients complete pathology screening before
commencing, have weekly check-in consultations with
Samantha during the active phase, and transition to
a healthy calorie intake appropriate to their new
body composition during stabilisation. This is not
a protocol intended for indefinite use — it is a
structured, time-defined phase of a broader program.
If you have concerns about whether this approach is
appropriate for your specific health situation, this
is exactly what the pre-program medical review is
designed to assess.
Some mild hunger is common in the first few days
of the active phase as your body adjusts. Most
clients find this settles considerably by the end
of the first week. The program includes a specific
loading phase before the low-calorie protocol begins,
which is designed to support comfort during the
early adjustment period.
If hunger is a significant concern for you, please
raise this with Samantha at your consultation —
there are aspects of the protocol that can be
adjusted to support individual comfort where
appropriate.
Clients who have previously used GLP-1 medications
are assessed individually. There are considerations
around washout periods and physiological adjustments
that Samantha and our supervising physician will
discuss with you at your consultation. Please
disclose all previous and current medications at
your initial appointment.
