A cardboard cutout for a doctor? A promise of a whole new you? We made two films about what it's like to have a proper clinic behind your treatment.

See the difference for yourself

Want to die and be reborn? Or just want to lose a bit of weight? A film about the difference between proper clinical care and a charlatan.

We're not a pharmacy with an app

Order weight loss medication online and most services stop at the box: a questionnaire, a delivery, an app to track it.

Numan turns that medication into treatment. Real doctors, dietitians, and psychologists design the plan. Support meets you in the hard weeks, when side effects hit or motivation dips.

That's the difference between dispensing a drug and delivering a result. It's why we exist.

About those promises

Some brands promise a whole 'new you'. We made a film about that, and the difference it makes to have proper clinical care.

Real clinic, real clinicians

The cardboard doctor gives people a way to ask who’s actually behind their weight loss treatment. Fake, AI-generated doctor accounts are becoming increasingly common online, and most people can’t tell them apart from the real thing. Clinical expertise and health misinformation can look identical. Knowing the difference is what Numan is for.

  • Real doctors design every plan: Working alongside dietitians, psychologists, and the wider clinical team.

  • Clinicians you can actually talk to: Clinician-reviewed prescriptions, live-capture ID verification, risk-based safeguarding.

  • Clinical care built around you: Delivered in the format that suits you best.

  • Regulated by the CQC: Every clinician registered with the GMC or GPhC, and verifiable on their public register.

Support for the hard parts

Patients rarely worry about the medication itself. What they worry about is managing it: the side effects, the routine, the fear of getting it wrong.

Outcomes that hold

Getting to your goal weight is one outcome. Staying there is the one that counts.

  • Patients who combine coaching with medication lose 35% more weight than those on medication alone.1

  • Confidence is the top result patients report: 6 to 12 months in, ahead of energy, activity, or any single number on a scale.

  • Evidence-based and thoroughly researched: Real outcomes, measured properly.

We've published the evidence

Numan's clinical team treats patients and publishes the research behind that treatment. Our work is advancing the understanding of obesity, hormonal health and metabolic disease. It's the evidence base behind every plan we create.
