BeSlim

At The Menopause Clinic, we understand that managing weight during and after the menopause can be an overwhelming challenge. Hormonal fluctuations – particularly a decline in oestrogen – can slow metabolism, increase fat storage, and alter appetite regulation, making it harder to maintain a healthy weight. Our BeSlim treatment is specifically designed to address these issues. Using the latest weight management science, BeSlim centres on Mounjaro (tirzepatide) injections – a ground-breaking treatment originally developed for type 2 diabetes that has shown significant results in weight loss.

Mounjaro works by mimicking key hormones involved in regulating appetite and blood sugar, helping patients feel fuller for longer while reducing cravings. When combined with expert-led lifestyle guidance, BeSlim offers a powerful, medically supervised solution tailored for women experiencing menopausal weight gain. Our goal is to help you feel healthier, more confident, and in control of your body again.

Consultation

Before beginning your BeSlim journey, you will undergo a thorough consultation with one of our experienced menopause specialists. This initial appointment allows us to assess your medical history, current symptoms, and individual weight management goals. We take into account any existing conditions such as insulin resistance, thyroid imbalances, or a history of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which can further complicate weight loss during the menopause. The consultation also includes an evaluation of your BMI and metabolic health to determine whether Mounjaro is an appropriate and safe treatment for you.

Mounjaro is not suitable for everyone and is generally prescribed for individuals with a BMI of 30 or above, or 27 with associated weight-related health issues. As part of the consultation, we will also discuss how hormonal changes may be contributing to your weight gain and what lifestyle factors may need to be adjusted. This ensures a holistic, personalised plan that supports both your physical and emotional wellbeing.

Individual Treatment Programme

Once approved, your BeSlim treatment programme begins with the administration of Mounjaro injections – typically self-administered once a week at home after professional guidance from our clinical team. The active ingredient, tirzepatide, works by activating two key hormone receptors: GLP-1 and GIP. These receptors influence insulin release, slow gastric emptying, and reduce appetite, making it easier to maintain a calorie deficit and lose weight safely.

Each patient receives a bespoke treatment plan, tailored not only to their hormonal profile but also to their weight loss targets, lifestyle, and any coexisting medical conditions. We closely monitor progress with regular check-ins to adjust dosage if necessary and ensure optimal results. Most women begin to see noticeable changes in appetite and weight within the first few weeks, with more significant weight loss occurring over several months. Combined with nutrition advice, activity recommendations and emotional support, BeSlim empowers you to take long-term control of your weight, health, and self-esteem.

Further Advice

While Mounjaro offers a highly effective medical tool for weight loss, success also depends on sustainable lifestyle changes and ongoing support. At The Menopause Clinic, we provide comprehensive advice throughout your BeSlim journey, including nutrition plans that account for menopausal needs – such as increased protein intake, calcium for bone health, and managing insulin sensitivity.

Our team of specialists are on hand to guide you through practical changes in eating habits, movement, sleep hygiene, and stress management – all of which play a crucial role in supporting hormonal balance and preventing weight regain. Patients should be aware that Mounjaro is not a quick fix, but part of a long-term strategy to improve metabolic health.

We also educate patients on what to expect from the treatment, including common side effects such as mild nausea or gastrointestinal discomfort, which often settle as the body adjusts. BeSlim is designed to work with your body – not against it – to help you thrive through menopause and beyond.

FAQs

Is Mounjaro safe?

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is considered safe when prescribed by a medical professional and used under clinical supervision. It is a licensed treatment for type 2 diabetes and has shown strong results in medically supervised weight loss programmes. At The Menopause Clinic, we ensure all patients meet treatment criteria and are closely monitored to ensure safety throughout the BeSlim journey.

Are there any side effects or risks?

Some patients may experience mild side effects such as nausea, bloating, or constipation, especially during the early stages. These usually subside as your body adjusts. Uncommon risks include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues, which we screen for during your initial consultation. Mounjaro is not suitable for individuals with a history of certain endocrine tumours or severe gastrointestinal conditions.

Over how long will the treatment be administered?

The BeSlim programme is typically administered over several months, depending on individual goals and medical guidance. Mounjaro injections are taken once weekly, and we monitor progress regularly to determine the most effective duration. Many patients benefit from a course lasting 3-12 months, with ongoing support to maintain results long-term.

Will I regain weight when I stop treatment?

Weight regain can occur if healthy habits are not maintained after treatment ends. That’s why BeSlim includes long-term lifestyle coaching, nutritional guidance, and emotional support. We help you build sustainable routines so that weight loss achieved with Mounjaro becomes lasting. Our goal is not just weight reduction, but lasting metabolic and hormonal balance.

When is Mounjaro not suitable?

Mounjaro is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, or individuals with certain gastrointestinal disorders. It’s also not prescribed to those with a BMI below 27 unless they have related health risks. Suitability is carefully assessed during your consultation to ensure safety and effectiveness.

How much does BeSlim cost?

The cost of our BeSlim weight loss programme can vary as treatment is tailored to the individual. Mounjaro dosage will often change as part of the treatment plan, and as results progress. Treatment costs start at around TBC.
