Weight & Body Composition
Medical weight management, including GLP-1-based treatment with semaglutide or tirzepatide when appropriate. The goal is to lose excess fat while preserving muscle, strength and function — and to have a plan for maintaining the result.
Why Losing Weight Is Hard
Most men who come in have lost weight before and gained it back. That pattern is not a failure of discipline. Appetite is physiologically regulated, the body defends its weight, and age, muscle mass and previous weight loss all affect how hard it becomes. For appropriately selected patients, medical treatment changes that equation.
GLP-1-Based Medical Weight Loss
Every Man’s Health uses GLP-1-based treatment, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, when it is clinically appropriate.
These medications work with the body’s own appetite signalling. They reduce appetite and increase the sense of fullness, so the constant pressure to eat that defeats most diets is lessened rather than resisted. For appropriate patients, that can make sustained weight loss substantially easier.
GLP-1 treatment is not appropriate for everyone. Medical history and current medications are reviewed before anything is prescribed, gastrointestinal side effects are common, and treatment is introduced and adjusted with tolerability in mind.
Which medication suits a particular patient, and at what pace, depends on medical history, other medications, how treatment is tolerated, the response it produces, and what you are actually trying to achieve.
That is a clinical decision made in consultation and revisited at follow-up — not a choice made from a chart.
Lose Fat. Keep Muscle.
The number on the scale is only part of the picture. The objective is to reduce excess fat — particularly around the middle — while preserving as much muscle, strength and function as possible.
Substantial weight loss by any method includes some loss of lean mass alongside fat. It cannot be eliminated, but it can be limited, and doing so is part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
We use InBody body-composition analysis to follow changes in fat and lean mass over time, with DEXA when a more detailed assessment is useful.
Usually has to be deliberate when appetite is reduced.
The actual signal to retain muscle rather than lose it.
Faster is not better here.
These are discussed as clinical components of treatment. Every Man’s Health is not a gym, a diet programme or a nutrition service.
Maintaining the Result
Weight management does not necessarily end when a target weight is reached. Appetite can return when medication is reduced or stopped, and weight regain is common.
For some men, continuing medication makes sense. For others, a reduced dose, discontinuation or a different strategy does. What matters is that maintenance is planned rather than improvised — decided from your own response and circumstances, and revisited as they change.
