## Why Use Dr Paulina Charlesworth For Weight Loss Injections?

Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can be challenging, especially when hormones, genetics, appetite pathways and stress all play a role. At Dr Paulina Charlesworth’s clinic in Sevenoaks, we offer a comprehensive, GP-led medical weight loss programme designed to support long-term, sustainable results.

Our approach combines clinical expertise, behavioural guidance, and, when suitable, evidence-based medications such as GLP-1 receptor agonists (Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic). Every programme is personalised to your biology, lifestyle and goals.

### Why Choose a GP-Led Weight Loss Programme?

Weight regulation is complex, influenced by hormones, metabolism, appetite pathways, stress, sleep, genetics, and life stages like perimenopause. A medical approach helps you understand how these factors contribute to your unique situation, moving beyond restrictive diets or unsustainable plans.

With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Paulina is committed to providing advanced, evidence-based guidance in lifestyle and longevity medicine. She regularly attends medical conferences to stay up to date with the latest research and trends.

Her approach is holistic, recognising that weight issues are often a complex reflection of modern life challenges.

Each step on your journey

## What Does the Programme Include?

**Comprehensive Initial Consultation**

Every weight management plan begins with a detailed medical consultation.

Dr Paulina takes time to understand the full context of your health, not just your current weight. This allows treatment to be tailored to your biology, life stage and lifestyle.

During this consultation, she will explore:

- weight history
- perimenopause/menopause symptoms
- appetite patterns
- sleep and stress
- metabolic health
- previous diet attempts
- emotional or behavioural triggers

We also discuss your goals, whether that’s weight reduction, metabolic reset, improved energy, or better overall health.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- Do I need to be a certain weight to start the programme? Suitability is assessed on an individual basis during your consultation. And there is no strict BMI or weight cut off.
- Are GLP-1 injections right for everyone? No, suitability depends on medical history, current medications and treatment goals. Alternatives can always be discussed.
- How quickly will I lose weight? Results vary. The goal is safe, sustainable progress supported by medical guidance.
- Can I do this programme without injections? Yes. Many patients choose behavioural and nutritional support only.
- Do I need blood tests? Sometimes. If symptoms suggest hormonal or metabolic involvement, testing may be recommended.
- Are results long-term? Yes, when supported with behavioural change and ongoing lifestyle habits.
- Do I need a BMI over 35 to be eligible, like on the NHS? No, private medical treatment follows different guidance.
    
    You may be eligible if:
    
    
    - Your BMI is 27 or above with Type 2 diabetes, or
    - Your BMI is 30 or above, following a medical consultation with Dr Paulina to confirm suitability.
    - Your BMI is less and are interested to learn more about microdosing
    
    Eligibility is always based on your *individual medical history, safety considerations and treatment goals*, not BMI alone.

> Dr Paulina managed the prolonged starter dosage and it went extremely well. Most people I know are on significantly higher dosages when it is not necessary.
