Six months - long enough to create meaningful, measurable change in your body composition, and structured enough to maintain momentum the whole way through. This isn't a short course. It's a clinical program designed to produce results that last.

You work directly with Ashleigh Gale, APD and program creator, for the full six months. This isn't a program where you're handed off to a junior clinician or coached by someone following a script. You get Ashleigh - her clinical expertise, her direct contact, and her full attention - start to finish. You'll also be referred to an accredited exercise physiologist, with your initial appointment included in the program.

Both. The program is designed for people navigating GLP-1 medication (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) and people preparing for or recovering from bariatric surgery. The clinical approach - DEXA-led, data-driven, focused on muscle preservation - is equally relevant to both groups. Your plan will be personalised to your specific situation, medication, and stage of treatment.

Yes, the program is a separate investment to your medication costs. But here's the thing - your medication changes your appetite. This program determines what you do with that change. Without the right nutrition strategy, a significant portion of what you lose on GLP-1 medication will be muscle, not fat. That slows your metabolism, reduces your strength, and makes long-term weight maintenance much harder. This program protects that investment.

Much more than the scale ever could. A DEXA scan is a 10-15 minute, non-invasive body composition scan that measures your fat mass, lean muscle mass, and bone density - broken down by region of your body. Critically, it also gives us your resting metabolic rate (RMR) - how many calories your body burns at rest - which is the foundation for setting accurate, personalised nutrition targets. Without this data, calorie and protein recommendations are educated guesses. With it, we know exactly where to start and how to adjust as you progress.

A comprehensive blood panel covering metabolic, hormonal, and nutritional markers - including fasting glucose, insulin, lipids, thyroid function, iron studies, vitamin D, and more. This isn't a basic health check. It's a clinical deep-dive that tells us what's driving your body's current state and what levers we can pull to optimise it. Ashleigh provides a written interpretation of your results before your initial consultation so you arrive informed and ready.

A CGM (continuous glucose monitor) is a small sensor worn on the arm for 2 weeks that tracks your blood sugar in real time. For people on GLP-1 medication or navigating post-surgical eating, understanding your glucose response is particularly valuable - it shows exactly how your body responds to different foods, meal timing, stress, and exercise. The patterns we find in your CGM data are used to fine-tune your nutrition plan in a way that generic advice simply can't replicate.

A standard dietitian consult is 45 minutes, once a month, with no clinical testing included. This program combines 1:1 clinical nutrition, DEXA body composition data, comprehensive pathology, CGM, exercise physiology, behaviour change support, and GP advocacy - all coordinated by one specialist over six months. It's a fundamentally different level of care, built specifically for the complexity of medical weight loss.

Not at all. The program is delivered entirely via telehealth so you can join from anywhere in Australia. DEXA scans, pathology, and your exercise physiology session are all arranged at providers near you - Ashleigh coordinates the referrals and logistics so you don't have to figure it out yourself.

Three options: pay in full ($3,500 - saving $310), deposit plus 3 payments ($1,200 deposit then $870 at months 2, 4, and 6), or deposit plus monthly instalments ($1,200 deposit then $435/month for 6 months). All options include the full program - nothing is held back based on how you pay. We'll walk through these on your strategy call.

Between-session messaging is responded to within 48 hours on business days. This is for clinical questions, check-ins, and nutrition adjustments - not for urgent medical concerns, which should always go to your prescribing doctor or medical team.

No rigid meal plans. The approach is built around flexible frameworks that work in real life - eating out, travelling, cooking at home, social events. This matters especially on GLP-1 medication, where appetite changes week to week. The goal is a structure that adapts with you, not a set of rules that fall apart the moment your appetite shifts.

You finish with a second DEXA scan showing exactly how your body composition has changed, a full pathology review, and a 60-minute final session covering your results and long-term maintenance strategy. The goal is to leave with the knowledge, data, and habits to maintain your results independently - whether you stay on medication long-term or transition off it.
