Your choice of format

Two ways to see the same specialists

Why patients choose us

Advice you can trust, because we don't sell the medication

Most online weight loss services in Ireland are affiliated with pharmacy businesses: the consultation and the sale are the same transaction. We are Consultant Endocrinologists, and we are independent of dispensing. If medication is right for you, you'll get a prescription you can take to any pharmacy in Ireland — we earn nothing from it either way.

  • Every consultation is a live, 30-minute conversation with a Consultant Endocrinologist
  • Suitability is decided in that conversation — never by a form alone
  • A full risk-and-benefit discussion before any treatment decision
  • Structured follow-up and monitoring for as long as you're with us
  • Specialist dietetic support built around your treatment
  • No mark-ups, no dispensing profit, no pressure

The process

How it works

Six steps, from two numbers to ongoing support.

Check your BMI
  1. 01

    Check your BMI

    Two numbers, ten seconds. It's a starting point, not a verdict.

  2. 02

    Choose in person or video

    Book the format that suits you at our Dublin or Letterkenny clinic, or online.

  3. 03

    Tell us about you

    A short medical questionnaire before your appointment, so your consultation time is spent on a real conversation.

  4. 04

    Meet your consultant

    A 30-minute, person-centred consultation focused on your health, your history and your goals.

  5. 05

    Agree your plan

    If medical therapy is appropriate, your doctor will explain the options, the costs and what to expect — and you take your prescription to any Irish pharmacy.

  6. 06

    Stay supported

    Follow-up reviews, dietician input and the Amara Health app keep your progress on track.

Who we can help

Is medical weight management right for you?

Check your BMI
A patient in conversation with her consultant at The Weight Loss Medics

A BMI of 30 or more

From a BMI of 30 upwards, medical weight management is something our doctors will usually discuss with you. Weight-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease often improve alongside the weight.

A BMI of 27 or more with a weight-related condition

If you're living with prediabetes, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol, sleep apnoea or a heart condition, treatment can be appropriate from a lower BMI.

Weight loss before surgery

If you're on an HSE or private waiting list and have been asked to lose weight before an operation — or declined treatment because of your weight — we can help you do it safely.
