Weight Management Services

At Fortitude Health Group, we understand that achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can be a complex and challenging journey. That’s why we are proud to offer specialized weight management services led by our GP, Dr. Allara Walsh-Howe.

Dr. Walsh-Howe brings a unique and comprehensive perspective to her practice. Before her medical studies, she completed a degree in nutrition and dietetics, giving her a deep understanding of the connection between food, lifestyle, and health. Her personal interest in weight management and disordered eating means she offers a compassionate and informed approach to each patient's unique needs.

A Personalised and Holistic Approach

Dr. Walsh-Howe’s weight management clinic focuses on creating a personalised plan that goes beyond simply counting calories. She will work with you to understand the root causes of weight gain, considering factors such as your medical history, lifestyle, and personal goals.

Her approach is holistic, combining evidence-based strategies that may include:

  • Nutritional guidance tailored to your needs.

  • Medical support and management of related health conditions.

  • Lifestyle advice to promote long-term well-being.

Support for Our Veteran Community

We are committed to providing dedicated support to our veteran patients. If you hold a DVA Gold Card or a DVA White Card with accepted conditions affecting weight-bearing joints (such as hips, knees, or ankles), you may be eligible for DVA-funded weight loss medications.

Dr. Walsh-Howe can assess your eligibility and, if appropriate, assist with the prescription and management of these medications to support your weight loss journey. This can help reduce the strain on your joints, improve mobility, and enhance your overall quality of life.
