The medication alone is not enough
Weight loss medications are incredibly effective at helping patients lose weight, with many seeing results in as little as 4 weeks¹.
But here’s the thing: patients on weight loss medications can also lose up to 40% muscle mass², which can cause the metabolism to slow down and weight regain to occur.
Meet the programme that makes losing weight and gaining muscle easy
Fuel weight loss with food
When you lose body weight on GLP-1 medications, up to 40% of that can be muscle. Losing weight without maintaining muscle results in your body burning less energy overall, making it more likely to regain the weight you worked so hard to lose.
This is not a diet. It’s about eating smarter, not necessarily less. Our bespoke nutrition programme is designed to fuel your body and get you to your goals quicker. Each week you will progress through the programme, levelling up your knowledge and creating balanced meals that are made for you and your biology.
Burn fat more efficiently
Your body burns the most fat when your heart rate sits around 60-70% of its maximum range, this is called Zone 2. This training improves your insulin sensitivity, which can reduce your risk of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
This is about working smarter, not necessarily harder. Each week unlock new Zone 2 movements, learning to efficiently burn body fat and maximising the effects of GLP-1 medication—alongside improving heart and metabolic health.
Build strength for life
The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn. This is because increasing your muscle mass also increases your basal metabolic rate—which is the amount of calories you burn while your body is at rest. Maintaining muscle is essential for keeping the weight off in the long term, and also has the added benefit of reducing your risk of sarcopenia and osteoporosis.
This isn’t about spending your day in a gym, it’s about incorporating small changes that make a big difference to your overall health. The programme is designed for all fitness levels in a safe and supportive environment. Over time you will build confidence in strength-building exercises, creating a more efficient metabolism and increasing your mobility, stability, and muscle mass.

FAQs
Why is Juniper different to every other diet I've been on before?
.svg){kind=icon}
Up to 80% of weight is determined by your genes, this means diets and exercise won’t always lead to weight loss results. That’s why we address weight on a cellular level. The treatment, when combined with lifestyle changes, can result in up to 20% weight loss in 12 months.

How does GLP-1/GIP medication work?
The medication acts on GLP-1 and another hormone pathway called glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), that together promote fat loss and blocks fat gain. By combining the effects of GLP-1 and GIP together, this medication can be more effective at promoting weight loss through reduced appetite, as well as directly on the pathways that lead to fat loss while retaining lean muscle mass.
What is the dosing schedule on GLP-1 medication?
The GLP-1/GIP dosing schedule has been designed to reduce the likelihood of side effects while increasing your dose over time for maximum results. The weekly injection starting dose is 2.5mg, which increases gradually to 10mg over multiple weeks. Most will follow this treatment plan, however, higher doses of 12.5mg and 15mg are available and can be prescribed depending on your response at the 10mg dose. You can work closely with your prescriber to customise your journey based on budget and desired weight loss outcomes.
Week 1-4: Inject 0.25mg weekly (1 dose per week)
Weeks 5-8: Inject 0.5mg weekly (1 dose per week)
Weeks 9-12: Inject 1.0mg weekly (1 dose per week)
Weeks 13-16: Inject 1.7mg weekly (1 dose per week)
Weeks 17+: Inject 2.4mg weekly (1 dose per week)
Our Care Team will maintain regular contact with you during the initial months of treatment to monitor your progress, address any side effects, and place you in touch with your prescriber to make necessary dose adjustments.
Please reach out to our Care Team at hello@myjuniper.co.uk if you wish to remain on a lower dose and we can place you in touch with your prescriber.
Higher doses of medication may be available from the manufacturer, but are not suitable for everyone. Your prescriber will determine if it is appropriate to move to a higher dose.
Do not increase your dose early as this will not improve your results and will most likely lead to increased side effects.
These dosage increases are not compulsory and you should only increase your dose if you are tolerating the medication.
How do I choose between GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP medication?
Patients can either be prescribed GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP medication. The choice of medication is usually based on personal preference, medical history, and weight loss goals. The choice is a personal one and is best discussed with your Juniper prescriber during your initial consultation. Your consultation will occur after you pay.

Is GLP-1/GIP medication more effective than other weight loss medications?
According to clinical trials, GLP-1/GIP medication (tirzepatide) is the most effective treatment for weight loss that is available right now. There have been several studies on the results of this treatment and it outperforms other GLP-1 treatments for weight loss results.
One study of over 2,500 patients from July 2022 found an average of up to 20.9% body weight loss in patients on GLP-1/GIP medication after 72 weeks, compared to GLP-1 medication where the average weight loss was up to 14.9% after 68 weeks.

What makes Juniper different from just taking medication alone?
All clinical trials showing the effectiveness of GLP-1 medication required patients to also undergo a diet and exercise programme alongside medication to achieve the stated weight loss results. Medication alone is not likely to be as effective.
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 medication which targets the receptors in the brain that control your appetite. The medication 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.
Isn’t the medication enough, why do I need Juniper’s programme?
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 GLP-1 medication through a high-protein diet and strength training with the support of a health coach.
