What is Wegovy?

Wegovy (semaglutide) is a TGA-approved medication for long-term weight management. It works by boosting one of your own naturally occurring hormones (GLP-1) that regulates appetite and digestion, helping you feel fuller for longer and reducing cravings. In doing this it supports sustainable weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

The guide on how to take Wegovy is linked below.


Diet Tips for Success

  • Eat high-protein, fibre-rich foods to stay full longer.

  • Stay hydrated to prevent nausea.

  • Avoid greasy or highly processed foods to minimize stomach discomfort.

  • Watch portion sizes—Wegovy helps reduce appetite, so listen to your body.

  • Need more support? - Contact our dietitians and health coaches for personalised diet advice.


Exercise Guidelines

  • 150 minutes of moderate activity per week (brisk walking, cycling, swimming).

  • Strength training 2–3 times per week to maintain muscle.

Key Reminders
