No waiting rooms. No referral letters. No chasing anyone for a follow-up. A genuinely clinical process built for people who do not have a half-day to spare.
Each stage is designed to be quick on your side and thorough on ours.
You answer a short, confidential questionnaire about your weight, health history, current medications, and what you want to achieve. The screening uses the same clinical markers a doctor applies in person, so you get an honest indication within minutes. If you clearly do not qualify, you pay nothing and we explain why.
Once you register, we email you a lab form. Take it to Lancet, Ampath, PathCare, or whichever pathology service you already use. Most patients pay from their medical aid savings and never see an out-of-pocket cost. If you have had relevant bloods in the last three months, your doctor can often use those instead.
Your results reach the medical team. A registered doctor reviews your screening, your bloods, your history, and your goals, then consults with you by video or secure message. They confirm whether GLP-1 treatment is right for you, explain the dose plan, and answer your questions before anything is recommended.
Once your treatment plan is confirmed, you can collect your treatment at any pharmacy in South Africa. Your coach is introduced and reaches out for your first check-in within the week. From there the rhythm is simple: a weekly injection at home, regular check-ins, bloods every few months, and dose adjustments as your body adapts. Your doctor stays accessible throughout.
A general guide. Your experience will be shaped by your starting weight and how your body responds.
A low starting dose while your body adjusts. Appetite begins to ease. Any nausea is usually mild and short, most likely in the day after the injection. The first changes are often mental before they are visible.
The dose steps up on plan. Hunger is noticeably quieter and the first kilograms tend to come off. Coach check-ins are more frequent here to help you build steady habits while motivation is high.
Weight loss settles into a predictable rhythm. Bloods are rechecked around the three month mark so your doctor can confirm everything is tracking well and fine-tune the plan.
You settle onto the dose that suits your response. Loss continues at a sustainable pace, and the focus shifts to the habits that will hold your results when treatment eventually steps down.
We do not bundle in costs you can claim elsewhere or hide markups in the fee. Here is exactly what you pay for separately.
Purchased at your pharmacy of choice. Prices vary by pharmacy and dose, and your doctor will discuss the expected cost during your consultation so you can plan ahead.
Most medical aids do not yet cover GLP-1 treatment for weight loss, though coverage is slowly expanding. We help you check your options.
Paid directly to your pathology lab, such as Lancet, Ampath, or PathCare. This is usually claimable from your medical aid savings account.
If you have recent, relevant bloods from the last three months, we can often use those and save you the test.
The assessment is free and you only pay the R299 programme if you qualify. Start now and get a clear answer today.
