Jack’s mum shared these powerful words — and they capture just how life-changing the past eight months have been for her family.

Jack is one of many teenagers in the UK to be prescribed Wegovy through Diet UK Clinics, the only private clinic in the country offering this treatment to adolescents.

After years of struggling with his weight, confidence, and the emotional toll that comes with both, Jack finally found something that worked for him.

And the transformation has been nothing short of extraordinary.

From the moment he started treatment, the results were almost immediate. Jack has now lost 4 stone in just eight months — but the impact goes far deeper than the numbers on a scale.

He’s smiling again.
He’s back on the rugby pitch, not just taking part but becoming the star of his team once more.
His confidence has returned, his energy is back, and his mum says "it's like living with a different person"....

For families who feel like they've tried everything, Jack’s story is a reminder that hope is out there — and that the right support can change everything.

🚨 Fake Weight Loss Jabs Seized in UK – A Serious Warning for Consumers 🚨

The UK has just made its biggest-ever seizure of fake weight loss jabs, uncovering thousands of unregulated and potentially deadly products being sold online.

While it’s understandable that people are looking for more affordable options, these counterfeit injections are untested, unauthorised, and made with no regard for safety or quality. Using them can lead to serious health risks — or worse.

⚠️ Remember: there are only two recognised, regulated suppliers in the UK authorised to provide genuine weight loss medications. Anything else could be dangerous.

At Diet UK Clinics, your health and safety always come first. If you’re considering weight loss treatment, please ensure it’s prescribed by a qualified professional and sourced from a trusted, regulated provider.

💬 Your health is never worth the risk — or the bargain.

"This is a victory in the fight against the shameless criminals who are putting lives at risk by peddling dangerous and illegal weight loss jabs to make a quick buck," the health secretary says.

Our founder, Dr Sindy Newman, spoke to The Telegraph last week about some of the amazing results she has seen treating adolescents in the clinic...

At Diet UK, we have witnessed how transformative it can be when young people receive not only medical guidance but also emotional and psychological support. Every adolescent in our care has access to our in-house psychologist, ensuring they have the space to explore their relationship with food, body image, and self-esteem as they progress through treatment.

Sindy emphasised that lasting change comes from addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of health — helping young people build confidence, resilience, and sustainable habits for life. 💚

We’re proud to see her championing this holistic, compassionate approach in the national conversation.
