Weight Management

Weight management means finding a healthy weight for you and keeping it there in a way you can sustain. It is less about quick fixes and more about everyday habits: what you eat, how you move, how you sleep and how you handle stress. Health conditions, medicines and life stages can also play a part.

​

Support can help you set realistic goals and stick with them. A GP can check your overall health and talk through your options, and dietitians, exercise physiologists and psychologists can help with the practical side of change.

Interview - Menopause and Perimenopause: A Conversation with Dr Kafayat Lee

Menopause and perimenopause are talked about often, but not always well understood. Many women experience symptoms without knowing what's happening in their body, or what evidence based options are available to support them.

PMOS and You: How a Women’s Health and Hormone Practitioner for Women Can Help

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, now known as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), is a complex hormonal condition that affects many women at different life stages. Understanding PMOS can feel overwhelming, especially when symptoms vary widely. Access to clear, reliable information is essential.

You’ve Been Told to Eat Better, Move More, and Stress Less… But No One Shows You How

If you’re a woman over 40, chances are you’ve been told some version of this familiar advice: "Eat better. Move more. Stress less." It sounds simple. But as a GP who specialises in Lifestyle Medicine, I can tell you: vague health advice like this isn’t enough. Women often come to me feeling frustrated and exhausted. They've tried to clean up their diets, commit to morning walks, or squeeze in some meditation, but it never seems to stick. Without structure or support, these attempts become short-lived, often followed by guilt and self-blame. The truth is: it's not your fault.

Why Fibre Matters: The Missing Nutrient That Could Transform Your Gut Health

Despite growing awareness of healthy eating, most Australians still fall short on dietary fibre. Research using Australia's National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey found that fewer than three in ten adults meet the recommended adequate intake for fibre, and more than eight in ten fall short of the higher target that reduces chronic disease risk. Fibre plays a fundamental role in digestive health, heart health and blood sugar regulation, and while most people associate it simply with preventing constipation, its benefits extend well beyond regular bowel movements.

Endometriosis: evidence-based treatments and mythbusting

Endometriosis is far more common than most people realise, and for many women, it’s an exhausting and often invisible struggle. In Australia, around 1 in 7 women are living with endometriosis, yet the symptoms can look different for everyone.

What is a
Weight Management Practitioner

Many different practitioners help people reach and keep a healthier weight. A GP is a good first step: they can check for conditions that affect weight, discuss whether medicines may be suitable and set up a care plan. Accredited Practising Dietitians give tailored eating advice, and exercise physiologists design safe activity programs. Psychologists can help with emotional eating and building lasting habits. A GP may also refer some people to a specialist, such as an endocrinologist or a surgeon.

Getting Help With Weight Management

Health Check

Your GP can check your blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol, and look for conditions or medicines that may affect your weight. If you have a chronic condition, they may set up a care plan with Medicare-subsidised allied health visits.
Health Hunter

Eating Habits

Health Hunter
An Accredited Practising Dietitian can look at what, when and how you eat, and help you plan meals that fit your culture, routine and household. The focus is on changes you can keep up, not strict diets.

Physical Activity

Health Hunter
An exercise physiologist or physiotherapist can help you find ways to move that suit your fitness, joints and health. They can build a program that starts gently and progresses safely, so activity becomes a regular part of your week.

Emotional Eating

Health Hunter
Stress and low mood can affect how we eat. A psychologist can help with patterns such as emotional eating. If you are worried about disordered eating, see your GP or call the Butterfly Foundation on 1800 33 4673.

Sleep and Stress

Health Hunter
Poor sleep and stress can affect appetite, cravings and energy. A GP can check for problems such as sleep apnoea, and a psychologist can help with stress and sleep habits. Better sleep may make other changes easier.

Medical Treatment Options

Health Hunter
For some people, lifestyle changes alone may not be enough. Your GP can explain whether medicines might suit you, or refer you to a specialist about weight loss surgery. These options have benefits and risks, and work best alongside support.
