Wegovy weight loss treatment

Numan, the UK’s leading online men’s healthcare company, will be offering Wegovy to eligible patients, as part of its wider holistic weight loss treatment programme that includes clinical expertise via on-going consultations, treatments, and 1:1 sessions with health coaches that are experts in behaviour change and adaption.

In response to the expected announcement, please see below a comment from Dr Luke Pratsides, Head of Medical at Numan. Note that this is STRICTLY UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL 07:01 MONDAY 4^TH SEPTEMBER 2023.

Dr Luke Pratsides, Head of Medical at Numan, commented:

“The launch of Wegovy is a landmark moment in the UK’s fight against obesity – arguably one of the country’s top public health problems. 

“For men, obesity is a major concern. In England alone, it affects 25% of all men in the UK, while a further 43% are considered overweight.¹ Obesity can lead to an increased risk of diabetes, strokes, heart attacks, and certain cancers. Aside from its physical toll, the impact of obesity on the public finances is vast: annual spend on its treatment is greater than the amount spent on the police, fire service and the judicial system combined.

“Wegovy has been clinically proven to help patients achieve up to a 15% reduction in their body weight² - a game changing amount for highly overweight and obese men. 

“Wegovy will be publicly available on the NHS, but Numan is also excited to be offering it in the coming weeks and will be launching a pre-registration sign-up service for interested men today. But we know that medication alone isn’t the solution. That’s why we offer a lifestyle change programme focussing on the key pillars of weight loss - diet, exercise, sleep, and mindset. We offer this alongside access to ongoing clinical support without the need to wait for booked appointments.

“For men who have been struggling with their weight and who want a convenient, timely, private solution, Numan’s online holistic treatment can help them maintain a healthy weight for good.”
