National Medical Weight Loss Programme
Betty’s Aesthetics: A Proud Partner of The National Medical Weight Loss Programme (NMWLP)
At Betty’s Aesthetics, we’re excited to be a Certified Partner of the National Medical Weight Loss Programme (NMWLP)—a medically-backed and effective approach to weight loss. Approved by nursing and obesity associations, the NMWLP offers expert medical support, advice, education, and treatment options to help you achieve your weight loss goals.
Why Choose the NMWLP at Betty’s Aesthetics?
Our programme is designed for individuals who are overweight (BMI 25–29.9) or obese (BMI 30+). After a comprehensive medical consultation, we can prescribe UK-licensed and FDA-approved medications to assist with weight loss, when appropriate.
We understand that many people have tried popular diets and slimming plans like Weight Watchers, Slimming World, or Keto without long-term success. The NMWLP complements these methods and has proven especially effective for those who need additional medical support for sustainable weight management.
How the Programme Works
Your journey begins with a medical consultation, where we will:
-
Assess your health and weight management history.
-
Discuss your lifestyle, goals, and challenges.
-
Explore the best treatment options for your weight loss journey.
If medication is suitable, we provide easy-to-use, self-administered injections (daily or weekly options). These medications mimic your body’s natural hormone (GLP-1), which:
-
Helps regulate appetite.
-
Keeps you feeling full for longer by slowing digestion.
-
Supports a calorie-controlled diet to achieve consistent, sustainable weight loss.
Is This Programme Right for You?
The NMWLP is ideal for adults aged 18–75 who meet the following criteria:
-
BMI of 30+ (or BMI of 27+ with associated health issues)
-
Commitment to a healthy diet and exercise plan alongside the prescribed treatment.
You may not be eligible if you have certain medical conditions, including:
-
Severe kidney, liver, or heart issues.
-
A history of medullary thyroid cancer or endocrine neoplasia syndrome.
-
Severe mental health conditions or eating disorders.
-
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive.
Lisa, our expert practitioner, will assess your medical history to ensure that the NMWLP is the safest and most effective option for you.
About the Treatment: Mounjaro
Mounjaro is the latest medication of choice for weight loss. Unlike other GLP-1 medications like Saxenda or Ozempic, Mounjaro activates both GLP-1 and another hormone called GIP, which:
-
Promotes fat loss.
-
Blocks fat gain.
-
Regulates blood sugar levels.
By combining the effects of GIP and GLP-1, Mounjaro effectively:
-
Reduces appetite.
-
Turns down cravings.
-
Improves blood glucose levels.
-
Stimulates fat breakdown.
This dual-action approach not only helps you eat less but also targets fat loss, making weight management easier and more sustainable.
Are There Side Effects?
Like any medication, side effects can occur, such as nausea, constipation, or indigestion, but these are typically mild and resolve over time. As part of our medically supervised programme, we’ll monitor your progress closely and address any concerns you may have.
By losing weight with the NMWLP, you’re reducing the risk of chronic conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and joint pain. You’ll feel healthier, happier, and ready to embrace life with newfound energy and confidence.
