Focused on your health.
Your GP can look at your weight alongside your health, family history, sleep, mood and medicines, and help you choose realistic changes to eating and activity. For some people, other treatment options may be discussed, with their benefits and risks.
The aim is better health and wellbeing, not a number on the scales.
- Book a lifestyle appointment
- Talk it through with your GP
- Tests, treatment or referral if needed
- Follow-up and review
Will I be lectured?
No. The aim is practical, achievable changes that suit your life.
Can I see a dietitian?
Yes, by referral, with Medicare rebates under a plan for eligible patients.
Small changes add up.
Regular physical activity helps heart health, mood, sleep, blood sugar and weight. Any activity is better than none, and your GP can help you start safely if you have health conditions.
Poor sleep affects appetite, mood and energy. Snoring with daytime sleepiness can be a sign of sleep apnoea, which is worth checking.
