When it's relevant
Weight that has crept up, is affecting your health or how you feel, or has not responded to what you have tried.
Why it's worth a visit
Weight is shaped by biology, medicines, sleep, mood and circumstance, far more than by willpower. Several conditions can also contribute.
How your GP can help
Your GP looks for contributing factors, checks related health measures and works with you on a realistic plan. That may include a dietitian, an exercise physiologist or medically supported options where appropriate.
