Medically supervised weight management with GP-led assessment

Achieving sustainable weight loss often requires more than diet and exercise alone. Hormonal, metabolic, medical, and lifestyle factors can all influence body weight and how the body responds to change.

Our private weight loss clinic provides a structured, doctor-led approach to weight management, focused on long-term health rather than short-term solutions. Every patient is assessed by an experienced GP to ensure care is safe, appropriate, and personalised.

Consultations are available in Central London and St Albans.

A medical approach to weight management

Difficulty losing weight or unexplained weight gain may be linked to underlying factors such as:

• Hormonal imbalance

• Metabolic conditions

• Insulin resistance

• Effects of medication

• Lifestyle, stress, or sleep disruption

• Other underlying health concerns

A private GP consultation allows these factors to be properly assessed before any treatment decisions are made.

Our focus is on clinical safety, medical suitability, and realistic outcomes, guided by evidence-based practice.

What happens in your weight loss consultation

Your initial consultation is conducted face-to-face with a qualified GP and includes:

• A detailed medical history and symptom review

• Assessment of weight patterns and previous attempts

• Review of lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, and activity

• Evaluation of current medications and existing conditions

• Discussion of investigations or blood tests where appropriate

• Clear explanation of suitable treatment pathways

You will leave with a clear understanding of possible contributing factors and the most appropriate next steps based on your individual health profile.

Clinical leadership and medical oversight

All weight loss clinic consultations at London Private Ultrasound are led by Dr Babak Soleimanpour, Consultant GP, who oversees medical assessment, suitability, and treatment planning.

Dr Soleimanpour has extensive experience in evaluating metabolic health, hormonal balance, and complex or unexplained weight changes. His role is to identify contributing medical factors, assess clinical risk, and ensure any treatment approach is appropriate, evidence-based, and safe.

Weight management decisions are never made in isolation. Each patient is assessed holistically, taking into account medical history, medications, test results, and wider health considerations before recommendations are made.

This GP-led approach ensures clarity, safety, and realistic expectations at every stage.

Personalised weight management plans

Following assessment, your GP will advise on the most appropriate plan for you, which may include:

• Lifestyle and nutritional guidance

• Medical weight management strategies

• Prescription treatment where clinically appropriate

• Ongoing monitoring and follow-up support

• Referral for additional investigation if required

All options are considered carefully, with patient safety and long-term health as the priority.
