Dr Pratsides was fantastic. Throughout my appointments and treatments, he was hands down the most informative and helpful doctor I've spoken with. He answered questions I’d been asking for months and put my mind at ease with a clear path forward.
Your next step: consult your GP
Your results suggest a BMI in the high-risk range.
For your safety and wellbeing, we advise consulting with your regular GP before starting any new treatments or lifestyle changes.
This is because they have access to your full medical history, can take into account any existing health conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors.
They can offer the most personalised and comprehensive guidance for your situation.

If your BMI falls outside of a healthy range, weight loss treatments like GLP-1 medications may not be suitable for you. In such cases, we highly suggest speaking with your GP for further clarity. However, if your own GP is inaccessible for any reason, you can opt for a consultation with a UK-qualified Numan doctor who'll run through all the necessary details to ensure your treatment is safe.

FAQs
Your questions answered
If your BMI falls into a high-risk range, certain weight management treatments may not be suitable or safe. Your GP can review your full medical history, assess any underlying conditions, and advise on the most appropriate and safe course of action.
A BMI that is significantly above or below the healthy range may increase your risk of complications such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hormonal imbalances, or nutrient deficiencies. In such cases, it's important to take a medicalised approach to weight management.
Yes. If you can’t access your GP or prefer to speak with someone privately, Numan offers phone consultations with UK-based doctors. They can provide advice tailored to your needs and help guide you through your next steps.
You’ll have a confidential phone call with a registered doctor who will discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and any concerns you have. There’s no rush, and the advice will be tailored specifically to you.
That depends on your personal health profile. Some treatments, particularly prescription options, may not be appropriate if your BMI is outside a safe range. However, other supplements and diagnostics can help improve weight management. That’s why we advise speaking with a healthcare professional before ordering.
Not at all. This is about your long-term health. A high BMI can signal deeper issues that require personalised, professional care. A doctor can help identify and address those root causes safely and effectively.
The doctor will do everything they can to give you the most helpful and effective advice possible.
However, if the doctor is unable to help you with your health queries over the phone, or if you require further medical attention that can only be given in person, they will signpost you to a relevant specialist who can give you the exact support you need*.
*The doctor may signpost you to a relevant specialist who operates outside of Numan.
