At Veritas Specialist Centre, we believe true health is more than just numbers on a scale or a quick fix—it’s about uncovering what works for you. It’s about science-backed solutions, expert care, and a personalised approach that goes beyond just one treatment or one method.

Some clinics focus only on surgery. Others look only at lifestyle changes. But at Veritas, we connect the dots—bringing together bariatric & general surgery, allied health, dietetics, psychology, and exercise physiology to create a pathway designed just for you.

Because health isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about finding what works for you, for life.

A new clinical trial comparing Mounjaro and Wegovy found that Mounjaro led to greater weight loss—but as with all sponsored studies, experts caution that results should be taken with care.

Dr. Gary Deed, member of the RACGP Expert Committee – Quality Care, shared his perspective:

"It reflects an extension of evidence that, based upon sound lifestyle advice including calorie restriction and physical activity, these medications are emerging as effective weight management strategies when used appropriately."

This reinforces what we know at Veritas Specialist Centre—there is no one-size-fits-all solution for weight loss. What works for one person may not be the best option for another. That’s why having a dedicated specialist team in your corner makes all the difference. We ensure you’re on the right treatment path, provide expert monitoring, and adjust your plan as needed to achieve safe, sustainable results.

📍 If you’re considering medical weight management, book a consultation with our team and uncover what works best for you.

A new clinical trial, sponsored by the manufacturer, found Mounjaro led to greater weight loss, but GPs warn of its ‘risks of biases’.

A recent article in Wolters Kluwer highlights the importance of holistic care, an approach that addresses not just physical health but also emotional, social, and lifestyle factors. By focusing on the whole person, this model leads to improved recovery, better patient outcomes, and long-term health benefits.

The article emphasises how understanding cultural and individual values, alongside factors like diet and environment, can transform care delivery. Collaborative care, where healthcare professionals work together to address broader health determinants, is key to this approach.

At Veritas Specialist Centre, we bring this vision to life. As specialists in weight loss management, upper GI, and general surgery, we combine advanced surgical care with multidisciplinary support, including dieticians, exercise physiologists, psychologists, and clinical nurses. This integrated approach ensures every patient receives personalised, comprehensive care tailored to their unique needs—empowering them to achieve true health.

The holidays are here, and it’s time to celebrate! But celebrations don’t have to mean overindulgence. Here are five easy ways to enjoy the festivities while staying on track with your health goals:

1️⃣ Bring Balance to the Feast
Add some nutritious options to the table alongside your festive favourites. Colourful veggie platters, fresh seasonal fruits, or creative party snacks are always a hit. Fun and healthy can go hand in hand!

2️⃣ Keep Drinks in Check
Alcohol can quickly add up during celebrations. Opt for non-alcoholic options, alternate alcoholic drinks with water, and aim for alcohol-free days during the week to keep things in moderation.

3️⃣ Boost Veggies & Fruits
Make fruits and veggies a big part of your holiday meals. They’re packed with fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants to support your health while keeping you satisfied.

4️⃣ Savour & Slow Down
Take your time when eating. Chew slowly, enjoy every bite, and let your body recognise when it’s full—your stomach will thank you!

5️⃣ Stay Active Daily
Prioritise movement, whether it’s a walk, a game with family, or just dancing around the house. Physical activity helps your body and mind stay balanced during the busy season.

Enjoy the celebrations without sacrificing your health—balance is key! 🎅
