Lose weight with treatment, keep it off with Juniper

Weight loss is unsustainable without strength maintenance. In fact, losing weight without maintaining muscle mass can contribute to loss of muscle mass, slower metabolism, and even weight regain, which could make you metabolically fatter, even if you’re lighter. So Juniper prioritises maintaining muscle on weight loss treatment through a high-protein diet and strength training with the support of a health coach.

We believe that successfully keeping weight off is just as important as losing it in the first place.

That’s why we provide a holistic programme which focuses on three important areas:

1. The science of strength: we use the latest available research into nutrition, exercise, and the newest weight loss treatments which target the receptors in the brain that regulate appetite. The treatment works to lower your body’s ‘set point’, which is the weight it fights to maintain at a biological level*. While this kickstarts your weight loss, lifestyle changes can help you maintain it.

2. Strength at any stage: our clinicians, health coaches and community supports you every step of the way. During the course of our programme you’ll learn sustainable nutritional, exercise and lifestyle choices, tracking your progress to help you form long term habits that stick. This will not only help you lose weight, but keep it off for good.

3. Strength in numbers: Research has shown that people in group communities achieve greater weight loss than those who do it alone. That’s why we’re here – we’re dedicated to helping women to make lifestyle changes that are often difficult to achieve on their own.

Juniper’s Strength Programme combines clinically-proven treatments with a high-protein diet, strength training, guidance from your health coach, and a community of other patients on the programme to support your weight loss journey.

To find out of you are eligible, you will have to complete a consultation with one of our Juniper prescribers. This is to ensure a qualified medical professional discusses all the options available to you before you make any decisions regarding medical treatments.

Results vary from person to person. Whilst every weight loss journey is different, over 92% of Juniper patients saw results in the first month, with more than 25% of them noticing results in the first week^.

In clinical trials of the treatment Juniper uses, more than 85% of participants lost 5% of their body weight, nearly 70% achieved a 10% weight loss, 50% achieved a 15% weight loss, and just under a third achieved a 20% weight loss in 68 weeks.

With optimisations to meals and movement, you’ll be supported every step of the way by your prescriber, your health coach, and of course, your community.

Our clinicians are registered in the United Kingdom with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and each hold accredited pharmacist independent prescribing qualifications. As registrants of the GPhC, they’re committed to ongoing quality improvement and continuing professional development activities each year to maintain this registration.

Additionally, the treatment protocols and processes have been developed under the guidance of our Clinical Team of doctors, nurses, and pharmacists.

All of our clinicians have a passion for women’s health and weight management, and take a holistic, patient-centred and relationship-based approach with their patients.

The treatments issued by Juniper clinicians have been approved by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for weight management in the UK, and are commonly prescribed by GPs and local pharmacies to treat weight.

In a 2021 study on the effects of this treatment, at 68 weeks, 69.1% of participants had lost more than 10% of body weight, and 50.5% had lost more than 15%. The average weight loss after 68 weeks is 14.9%, and one in three participants lost at least 20% of body weight.*

Unlike other providers, we focus on care that’s consistent. Our priority is to carefully manage our treatment supply and the number of patients we serve. This means you can be confident knowing we are working hard to provide a consistent supply of treatment when you sign up to Juniper. For this reason we are only accepting a certain amount of patients in December, and positions are likely to fill up quickly.
