A medical solution for lasting weight loss
Access to your own dedicated team of doctors, psychologists, dietitians & nurses no matter where you are in Australia.
Researched based, individualised treatments to assist you with your weight loss journey to a long lasting healthier YOU.
Along with you team of experts, highly effective weight loss medications are used to supercharge your weight loss efforts.
Teamwork does make the dream work!
That’s what the medical science tells us about weight loss and maintenance.
6M Life is the first telehealth team to do it.
What are the 6Ms?
We focus on 6 domains to help increase your chances of sustained weight loss by looking at your complete physical and psychological health and social circumstances to fashion a plan just for you.
Just as elite athletes have a team of people to help them perform at their best, our team are there to mentor you and help you stay accountable to your goals. We educate you and give you the tools to make the right food and lifestyle choices to maximise your chances of success.
Mind
-
Your psychologist will help you identify the causes of comfort and binge eating and will work with you to develop sustainable changes to your relationship with food
Motivation
-
Studies show that frequent check-ins improves compliance with any behavioural change. Our team will be your cheerleaders, and have weekly video consultations with you to ensure you stay committed and motivated.
Mouth
-
Working with your dietitian, you will learn about improving your food choices, developing meal plans and adopting a healthy diet based upon your medical needs and lifestyle.
Metabolism
-
Exercise and activity is vital not only for losing weight but also for improving your overall cardiovascular health and to minimise the development of conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Exercise also releases endorphins: feel good hormones that will help you stay motivated.
Medication
-
Your doctor will recommend the most suitable medication based upon your medical history and goals to help you lose weight and keep it off.
They also have the expertise to change or add medications if your weight loss plateaus. Online prescription mill weight loss clinics do not have this expertise.
Malleability
-
Everyone is different so our approach is tailored to your needs.
We are adaptable and work as your partner to help you get the best results for you.
No cookie-cutter, algorithmic, tick-a-box approaches here!
Is the 6M Life program right for me?
We feel the program is best suited to those who:
have tried dieting and lost weight and have been disheartened when the weight is regained.
are contemplating bariatric surgery but would like to see if a more comprehensive approach may help them avoid surgery
have had bariatric surgery and found weight regain has occurred or would like to maintain the weight lost
people who are motivated to change behaviours and adopt life changing habits
We feel the program is NOT suited to those who:
have unrealistic expectations of losing significant weight: the expected weight loss is about 15% on our program
want to lose a few kilos for “the big event”
feel medication alone will do the job: research shows it won’t!
are under 18 or over 70 yrs of age
are planning to get pregnant whilst on the program
have a Body Mass Index (weight (kg)/height(metres squared) of under 25 (with no medical history of bariatric surgery)
have diabetes being managed by an endocrinologist
