Reach your goals with confidence

At Virtu Health, we take a holistic and personalised approach to your care. Here’s how we stand out:

• We care about you: We focus on your history, your goals, and your long-term success.
• More than weight loss: Unlike single-service telehealth clinics, we are equipped to manage not just your weight but your overall health and well-being.
• Holistic Care: We look at the bigger picture, addressing physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors to ensure you get the best possible treatment.
• Ongoing Support: Our team provides unlimited access to ensure you feel supported at every step of your journey.

We’re not just here to help you lose weight – we’re here to help you transform your health for life.

GLP-1 medications are generally well-tolerated; however, like all treatments, they can have side effects. The most common include:

• Nausea: Often occurs when starting or increasing the dose but typically improves over time.
  • Tip: Eat smaller, frequent meals and avoid fatty or spicy foods.
• Vomiting: Can occur alongside nausea, particularly if meals are too large.
• Diarrhea or Constipation: Changes in bowel habits are common as the body adjusts.
  • Tip: Stay hydrated and include fibre-rich foods in your diet.
• Abdominal Discomfort: Mild stomach pain may occur initially.
• Fatigue: Some people report tiredness in the early weeks.

Our team will provide guidance on minimising these effects and monitor your progress closely to ensure your treatment is well-tolerated.

Results will vary depending on individual circumstances, but patients using GLP-1 medications alongside a high-protein diet typically experience:

• Average weight loss of 5-15% of total body weight over a 6-12 month period.
• Reduced hunger and improved control over portion sizes.
• Enhanced overall metabolic health, including better blood sugar levels and cholesterol profiles.

Results are optimised when medications are combined with consistent adherence to dietary and lifestyle changes.

Due to Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations, we are unable to discuss specific medications until you have had a consultation with one of our qualified practitioners.

However, you can be assured that:

• All prescriptions are for 100% branded treatments, not compounded medications.

Our medical professionals will discuss all treatment options with you thoroughly, ensuring you make an informed decision that suits your health and goals.

Our program offers excellent value:

• One-time program fee: $399
• Medication costs: Additional monthly cost ranging from $140 to $300.

Estimated yearly total: Starting from $2,080 per year.

By comparison, other weight loss programs in Australia start from $5,388 per year, which means Virtu Health can help you not only shed kilos but also save up to $3,308 annually.

No, the program fee does not include medication costs. Here’s a breakdown:

• The one-time fee of $300 covers your initial consultation, personalised diet plans, shopping lists, and pathology review.
• All follow-up consultations are bulk billed through Medicare.
• Medications are an additional cost, ranging from $130 to $300 per month, depending on the treatment most suitable for your needs.

We will work with you to find a medication option that aligns with your clinical needs and financial circumstances.

At Virtu Health, our goal is not just to help you lose weight but to understand why you may be struggling or have hit a plateau.

By completing a comprehensive blood test, we can:

• Assess your thyroid function to ensure it’s working efficiently, as an underactive thyroid can affect metabolism and weight loss.
• Monitor key markers like cholesterol and iron levels, which provide insights into your overall health and dietary habits.
• Identify any underlying medical issues or nutrient deficiencies that may be impacting your ability to lose weight effectively.

These results allow our practitioners to develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses not only weight loss but also your broader health and wellness needs.

Our program provides a comprehensive and personalised approach to weight management. It includes:

• Comprehensive Health Review: A thorough evaluation of your health history and lifestyle factors.
• Full Pathology Review: Blood tests to ensure you are suitable for medication and identify any underlying issues.
• Medication Options: Potential commencement of hunger-reducing medications, tailored to your clinical and financial situation.
• Diet Plans, Shopping Lists, and Recipes: Customised dietary guidance to support sustainable weight loss.

Supplementation Plans: Access to recommended supplements to complement and optimise your treatment plan.

If you do not meet the eligibility criteria, Virtu Health can still support you. We offer a range of alternative health and wellness programs tailored to your needs.

• You will not be charged for your initial consultation and will be bulk billed through Medicare.
