About WhyWeight

WhyWeight empowers patients and clinicians with honest, non-branded advice around weight management.

We’re completely independent.

Our information is free of the industry bias and hidden agendas that dominate the current weight management landscape.

Connecting knowledge to care.

WhyWeight resources bridge the gap between vague online content and real, individualized clinical care.

Adding value to the healthcare ecosystem.

We shift the conversation from short-term weight loss to meaningful health outcomes by treating obesity as a medical condition, not a personal failure.

Breaking the ice on a difficult conversation.

Weight loss has been a constant struggle and no one one will listen to me that there’s an underlying issue...

Ozempic has not worked in the past...

Just looking for a real doctor to talk to...

Many patients have felt discouraged or dismissed when discussing weight concerns. Our assessment serves as an icebreaker—helping you take the first step in a conversation that deserves attention and respect.

The assessment connects patients with accredited weight management centres and facilitates honest, stigma-free dialogue.
