At Manly Village Compounding Pharmacy, we believe that successful weight management is about far more than a number on the scales. Lead by Shirelle, our registered nurse with special interests in weight care, our Holistic Weight Management Clinic is a personalised support service designed to help patients using medications such as Wegovy® and Mounjaro® achieve healthier, safer, and more sustainable outcomes.
Why Support Matters During Weight Loss
GLP-1 medications can be highly effective tools for weight management, but many patients are often left navigating the journey alone.
Without the right support, people may experience:
- loss of muscle mass
- poor nutrition or inadequate protein intake
- fatigue and low energy
- hair thinning or hair loss
- uncertainty about what to eat
- unrealistic expectations
- loss of confidence or motivation
Research shows that maintaining adequate protein intake and preserving lean muscle mass are essential during weight loss for long-term metabolic health and wellbeing.¹ Our clinic has been designed to provide the education, guidance, and ongoing support many patients are missing.
What Happens During Your Appointment?
Initial 60 minute consultations with 30 minute follow up consults are conducted by our experienced RN Shirelle in a supportive and judgement-free environment.
Appointments include:
Body Composition Analysis
- body fat percentage
- muscle mass
- waist circumference
This helps us track meaningful progress beyond just kilograms lost.
