Some people may be considering weight loss coaching services as part of their weight loss journey, whether to explore structured and medically informed guidance or gain a better understanding of the necessary nutrition, exercise and lifestyle changes they must make.
Below, you’ll learn how to access a weight loss program, from assessing suitability to navigating the treatment plan. For those exploring medical weight loss programs, a consultation with a doctor is necessary and can provide more information on available options.
Chemist2U is here to connect individuals with the resources they need, and that also covers the necessary support needed when navigating a weight loss program.
With that, here are the steps involved in our online weight loss program:
Step #1: Take suitability quiz.
In just a few minutes, you can discover if a weight management program may be suitable for you through the suitability quiz.
This quick quiz takes into account a variety of factors, considering both your medical history and current health status. You simply have to navigate through questions and provide insights about factors that could impact your sustainable weight loss goals.
Sharing information about any medications you take, whether they are prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs or even general pharmacy goods, is essential. Your relationship with food, including habits and psychological perspectives, is also important to share.
Of course, basic health metrics such as age, height and weight are gathered as well to complete your profile, as they serve as baseline data for any weight management program.
Rest assured that your information will remain private and secure with us. Any personal details you share are protected with strict confidentiality standards.
Note that this is only an initial screening tool and does not guarantee suitability for the program.
Step #2: Speak to experts through telehealth consultations.
During the initial consultation, the doctor will review your medical history and lifestyle. Your doctor will then confirm if you are suitable for the weight management program. If you are not suitable, there is no out-of-pocket cost.
Hubmed’s team of qualified Australian practitioners also include nurses and dieticians who are highly qualified and extensively trained. The nurses are accredited with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), while accredited dietitians are recognised by Dietitians Australia.
Our experts have specialist experience across a range of healthcare conditions, including women’s health, metabolic health, weight loss and men’s health.
Step #3: If suitable, arrange for delivery conveniently.
After taking the quiz and speaking with a practitioner about weight management, you arrange to have any approved components of your program delivered to you every month.
This process reflects the trust of more than 150,000 customers.
Unlike other weight loss coaching services that show up when you search for ‘how to find a weight loss coach near me’ or ‘weight loss coaching for beginners’, our support doesn’t end after just one session. Our experts will continue to be with you through follow-up consultations throughout your weight management journey.
Initial follow-ups with your practitioner are generally scheduled between weeks two and six.
During these consultations, your progress will be assessed, and your practitioner can check if any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan are needed. If necessary, new goals are established, paving the way for the next phase of your program. If, for any reason, you choose not to continue, you can opt to cancel by giving a 30-day notice.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does online weight loss coaching work?
Online weight loss coaching with Hubmed functions as a telehealth service designed for sustainable weight management. By leveraging the expertise of a dedicated team that includes nurses and dietitians, the service caters to the unique needs of each person. It adopts a collaborative approach to provide personalised care.
How long does it take to see results with weight loss coaching?
Timeframes for results from weight loss coaching can differ significantly. Factors such as the chosen weight loss treatment plan, metabolic rate and commitment to lifestyle changes all play a role in shaping the results.
While it is not uncommon for some individuals to see initial changes within the first few weeks, often from water loss and dietary adjustments, true and lasting fat reduction usually requires persistent effort and time. Nonetheless, individual responses vary, depending on multiple health factors, and outcomes are not guaranteed.

The Hubmed program is highly personalised right from the start. It begins with a telehealth consultation that allows you to discuss your lifestyle, medical history and treatment options with a practitioner.
