Weight Management & Healthy Living

Understanding your body. Supporting your journey.

Weight loss is not always as simple as eating less and exercising more. Metabolism, hormones, medical conditions, medications, nutrition, sleep, stress, lifestyle and emotional wellbeing can all influence weight.

For many people, these factors can make losing weight and maintaining that weight loss challenging, even when they are trying their best.

At Warragul Medical Centre, Dr Faiza Cheema offers a compassionate, medically guided and holistic approach to weight management.

More than just a number on the scales

Everyone's weight-loss journey is different. Instead of following a one-size-fits-all approach, Dr Faiza Cheema takes the time to understand you, your health, your challenges and what you would like to achieve.

• Your overall health and medical history
• Hormonal and metabolic factors that may influence weight
• Medical conditions or medications that may make weight management more difficult
• Nutrition and everyday eating habits
• Physical activity that is realistic for your lifestyle
• Sleep, stress and emotional wellbeing
• Relevant health checks and investigations, where clinically appropriate
• Evidence-based medical weight-management options, when suitable
• Realistic and achievable goals
• Ongoing monitoring, encouragement and medical support

No judgement. No crash diets. No one-size-fits-all plan.

Weight-management recommendations, investigations and treatment options are based on each patient's individual circumstances and clinical assessment. Individual results may vary.
