Meet Dr Ben McCullough, our men’s metabolic health doctor.

Many men put their own health last until something forces a wake-up call. Dr Ben works with men to get on the front foot early, using a comprehensive medical approach to weight loss and metabolic health. He focuses on identifying and treating the drivers behind weight gain, reviewing and optimising medications, and addressing issues like insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular risk, low energy, and reduced strength.

Weight loss isn’t just about the scales. For men, improving metabolic health can mean better energy, better sleep, better performance, and lower long-term risk of heart disease and diabetes. Dr Ben takes the time to look at the whole picture and create a realistic, sustainable plan that fits real life.

If it’s been a while since your last health check, or you know your weight is starting to affect how you feel, this is your sign.

Appointments available in Brisbane and via telehealth. No referral required. Call (07) 3373 0265 or book online today.

Weight loss is more complex than “eat less, move more” and it’s certainly more complex than an online questionnaire and a prescription.

In-person care allows us to measure what actually matters. Body composition tracking shows changes in muscle mass, visceral fat, and hydration, things a scale and an app simply can’t tell you. This matters because rapid or poorly monitored weight loss can lead to muscle loss, nutritional deficiencies, and long-term metabolic problems.

Medical weight management also requires proper blood test monitoring. Nutrient levels, thyroid function, iron, B12, and metabolic markers can change during weight loss, especially when using medications. Identifying and correcting these early keeps patients safe and feeling well.

One of the biggest risks of unsupervised weight loss is loss of muscle mass. Muscle is critical for metabolic health, strength, and weight maintenance. In-person care allows doctors, dietitians, and exercise professionals to work together to protect muscle while reducing excess fat.

Finally, real care means real support. In-person appointments create accountability, allow for nuanced conversations, and give patients space to ask questions, adjust plans, and be treated as individuals - not algorithms.

If you’re considering medical weight loss, choose care that looks after your whole health, not just a prescription.

Appointments are available in Brisbane, no referral required.

Meet our newest addition to the team - Ms Hayley Sullivan, Accredited Practicing Dietitian.

Hayley works with patients across weight management, bariatric surgery, type 2 diabetes, and eating disorders including binge eating disorder, supporting both the physical and emotional sides of nutrition and behaviour change. Her approach is grounded in evidence, but always delivered with compassion and respect.

She graduated from QUT with a Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics (Honours) and has co-authored published research in pregnancy care following bariatric surgery, reflecting her commitment to best practice and thoughtful, individualised care.

Hayley’s passion for nutrition also comes from lived experience. After her son was diagnosed with multiple food allergies as a baby, she developed a deep appreciation for how powerful (and overwhelming) food and nutrition can be. This shapes the empathetic, practical way she supports patients today.

What Hayley loves most is helping people feel better in their bodies and more at ease with food, not just chasing a number on the scale, but building sustainable habits, confidence, and long-term health.

If you’re looking for supportive, non-judgemental nutrition care that meets you where you are, Hayley is now seeing patients at MedSurg Weight Loss.

Appointments available in Brisbane and via telehealth. No referral required.

We pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality, evidence-based care to our patients. Medical weight management is complex, and when done properly it requires more than just a number on the scales. Ongoing body composition analysis and nutritional blood test monitoring are essential to ensure weight loss is safe, effective, and protective of long-term metabolic health.

At our Brisbane clinic, we use an InBody Body Composition Scanner, which provides highly accurate and detailed body composition data. This allows our clinicians to closely monitor muscle mass, visceral fat, and other key health markers, enabling truly personalised and guided weight management care.

All patients are offered a body composition scan at every appointment with our doctors, dietitians, or exercise physiologist. Patients are also welcome to access the scanner between appointments to track their own progress at no additional cost.

Appointments can be made directly with our clinic - no referral is required.

To book, simply contact us on (07) 3373 0265 or make an appointment online via our website.

Breaking news in obesity research: the ATTAIN-1 trial has shown that a once-daily oral GLP-1 therapy can deliver an average 12.4kg weight loss over 72 weeks.

Beyond weight loss, this therapy demonstrated important metabolic benefits — including improvements in cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, and inflammation.

Nearly 60% of participants lost at least 10% of their body weight, and almost 40% lost 15% or more.

Safety findings were in line with what’s expected for the GLP-1 class, with most side effects being mild-to-moderate. This positions oral GLP-1 therapy as a potentially transformative option in obesity care.

The full results will be unveiled at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) 2025 Annual Meeting, marking a key moment in the field.

At MedSurg Weight Loss, we stay across cutting-edge research like this so we can provide our patients with the most up-to-date, evidence-based care.
