Medically Supervised Weight Loss Medications in Melbourne
If you’ve tried diets, exercise, and lifestyle changes but still feel stuck, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep doing it on your own. At Body Genesis Institute, we understand that weight loss is more than just “eating less and moving more.” That’s why we offer a medically supervised program that combines effective prescription weight loss medications with real, ongoing support, right here in Melbourne.
Whether you’ve been battling weight gain for years or you’re just starting to explore your options, our team is here to guide you through a personalized, doctor-led journey that’s safe, holistic, and results-driven.
Understanding Weight Loss Medications
Medical weight loss medications are prescription treatments designed to help regulate hunger signals in your brain and improve how your body manages fat. These aren’t magic pills, but when combined with healthy habits, they can significantly boost your progress and give you the edge you’ve been missing.
If your BMI is over 30,or over 27 with other health concerns like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea,these medications might be a great fit for you. As part of the initial assessment, your health history, goals, and concerns are discussed before deciding on a plan together.

How These Medications Support Weight Loss
How medication fits into the bigger picture
Think of these medications as one piece of the puzzle. They help reduce appetite and control cravings, but the real magic happens when we combine them with mindset shifts, nutrition coaching, and support from our health professionals. That’s where lasting transformation begins.
The types of medications we use
At Body Genesis, we prescribe proven, TGA-approved medications like
- Ozempic (semaglutide)
- Saxenda (liraglutide)
- Wegovy
- Mounjaro (tirzepatide)
Each one works a bit differently, but they all help you feel full sooner, stay satisfied longer, and better manage blood sugar and fat storage.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your journey, step by step
Once we’ve done your initial assessment, we’ll begin a structured 16-week program. You’ll go through different phases,starting the medication, gradually increasing the dose, tracking how your body responds, and eventually reaching a steady, maintainable rhythm.
Along the way, you’ll have access to weekly online classes through our Genesis Classroom, plus support from dietitians, doctors, mindset coaches and our dedicated team. You won’t be doing this alone.
What about the costs?
We’ll walk you through everything in your first consultation—no surprises. Program costs vary based on your chosen medication and the level of support you want, but we always aim to make things transparent and affordable.
With behaviour change that brings a scientific and holistic approach in one framework.

Safety, Side Effects & Considerations
Are there any risks?
All medications can have side effects, and weight loss medications are no different. Some people experience nausea, bloating, or fatigue early on, but these often settle as your body adjusts. We’ll be keeping a close eye on you and adjusting things if needed.
What happens when it’s time to stop?
We’ll help you taper off the medication when you’re ready, usually once you’ve reached your goals and built healthy habits that feel natural. The focus then shifts to keeping the weight off in a sustainable way, with support tailored to your new phase of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Let us know straightaway. Our team is here to adjust your dosage or switch medications if something isn’t sitting right.
