The Advantage of Medical Weight Loss
Combining Medically Supervised Treatment with Non-Medication Approaches
Enhanced Satiety & Reduced Appetite
Helps you feel fuller for longer and experience a noticeable decrease in hunger signals, supporting a reduction in calorie intake without the common struggle of dieting.
Reduced "Food Noise" Cravings & Emotional Eating
Acts on appetite centers in the brain, which helps to lessen intrusive thoughts about food (often called "food noise") and supports better regulation of cravings. Also makes it easier to manage emotional eating patterns, like stress eating.
Decreased Body Fat Percentage
Reduces overall body weight, with a primary impact on decreasing body fat mass.
Improved Insulin Sensitivity & Metabolic Health
Plays a crucial role in enhancing your body's responsiveness to insulin, both through direct actions on insulin pathways and indirectly by promoting weight loss, particularly of visceral fat linked to insulin resistance.
Lose weight sustainably with our medical weight management program
You could lose 20% of your body weight over 1 year.

Patient Story:
Farhan's Journey to
a Healthier Life
Watch the full podcast from The Straits Times to hear more about Farhan's journey.
At NOVI Health, we are committed to helping our patients achieve sustainable health transformations. We are proud to share the story of Farhan Hanis, a university student and former plus-size model, whose journey was recently featured in a podcast by The Straits Times.
Farhan's decision to take control of his health was deeply personal, motivated by a family history of diabetes and his own early signs of insulin resistance [09:43]. For years, he struggled with his weight, finding that even intense exercise at luxury gyms couldn't move the needle from 116 kg [12:47].
Through a combination of medical guidance and lifestyle changes, Farhan has been able to achieve remarkable results. In just two months, he lost seven kilograms, and for the first time in years, he is seeing his jawline again [13:53]. But his transformation is more than just physical. Farhan reports sleeping better, feeling more energetic, and having a healthier relationship with food [11:39].
As Farhan emphasizes, there is no "magic pill" for weight loss [19:43]. His success is a testament to the power of a holistic approach that combines medical treatment with a commitment to healthy eating and exercise. By working with a nutritionist, he learned to manage his portion sizes and make healthier food choices, like snacking on antioxidant-rich fruits [20:09].
Farhan's story is an inspiring example of how it is possible to break through a weight loss plateau and achieve lasting health. He hopes that by sharing his experience, he can encourage others who are struggling to seek the help they need [56:50].

NOVI Health
“Dr Sue-Anne Toh, co-founder of technology-enabled healthcare provider Novi Health, said… patients will first have to consult a doctor to assess their suitability for the medication. If prescribed [with medication], they will get consultations and digital coaching by Novi Health’s dietitian and health coach. This ensures that patients are better supported to manage potential side effects, and get the most sustainable and optimal results with the medication.” [6]
“…we work hard to equip and empower people with the skill sets and the knowledge, through personalised health coaching programmes, to help them maintain a healthy body composition and keep the weight off without lifelong dependency on [medication]..” [7]
NOVI Health’s philosophy
on a holistic approach to battle excess weight
"Medications containing [some examples] can play a crucial role in fighting the rise in obesity, but they must
be seen as part of a toolkit alongside diet, exercise and behavioural support, says NOVI Health co-founder Kyle
Tan."
"There is limited effectiveness in undertaking medication, dieting or exercise in silo - in fact, managing
obesity through dieting alone may have adverse effects. Research has shown that up to 25 per cent of total
weight lost can come from the loss of muscle, bone and other fat-free tissue, which can result in a lowered
metabolism and reduced strength and performance.
"It is thus important to go with a personalised, holistic approach for weight loss managed by experts, so that
side effects, both short- and long-term, can be addressed effectively and sustainably depending on one’s
lifestyle."

What is a body composition analysis and why is it taken during consultation?
Body composition analysis provides a clearer picture of your health and fitness status. It shows your total body weight, muscle mass balance, and body fat distribution, among others. While effective for weight loss, these medications can sometimes result in muscle loss, making it crucial to adopt a holistic approach that includes exercise and proper nutrition. We take your body composition analysis during your appointment to monitor key metrics like fat percentage and muscle mass, ensuring your weight loss journey is both safe and effective. Healthy weight loss isn't about shedding kilos quickly but about losing weight sustainably while preserving muscle mass. -
For video consultation, how will my body composition analysis be taken?
After your video consultation, you can schedule an in-clinic appointment for a body composition scan during our operating hours. Simply inform the team that you'd like to come in for measurements, and they will assist you in booking the appointment.
Medication Benefits
-
How can weight loss medications help me lose weight?
Weight loss medications help you lose weight by:- Reducing cravings. They overhaul your “hunger and craving hormones” working on the reward center of the brain.
- 抑制食欲。这种药物会减缓胃排空，使你吃得更少，饱腹感更强，从而减轻体重。 时间更长，体重也会减轻。
- Preventing overeating. It lowers blood sugar, reducing cravings and slowing digestion, preventing you from overeating.
- 降低体脂率。减轻体重主要来自体内脂肪量。
-
How long do I need to take weight loss medications?
When people first start to take weight loss medications, they tend to lose weight rather quickly. After a few months, the weight loss starts to slow down. Eventually, people reach a stable weight on these medications.
Some people become concerned when they reach this weight loss plateau. They may believe that the weight loss medication has stopped working because they aren’t losing weight anymore. However, this weight loss plateau is normal and expected. If a person were to continue to lose weight indefinitely, they would eventually become unhealthy. It’s actually a good thing for your weight to stabilize at some point. -
Should I stop taking weight loss medications once my weight is stable?
Upon reaching a stable weight, remaining on these medications can help many people to maintain a healthy and stable body weight. This is one of the major benefits of long-term use of weight loss medications.
However, there are some individuals who are able to successfully maintain their weight after going off weight loss medications. Whether this is possible for you will need to be discussed with your treating physician. -
What are other benefits of weight loss medications?
- Helps control blood sugar. These medications have been shown to control blood sugar effectively, making them an attractive option for many diabetes patients.
- Reduction in risk of heart disease and kidney failure. These weight loss medications have been shown to be cardioprotective, meaning that they reduce the risk of heart disease.
-
How do I get the most benefit from these weight loss medications?
To maximize its effectiveness, it is recommended to work on optimizing your diet and physical activity levels together with taking the medication.
Improving your diet quality and physical fitness will help with glucose control, make you feel more energetic, and help you get the most out of your day. It will also help to sustain the weight loss you experience.
NOVI Health strongly believes in empowering individuals to improve their diet and fitness, and our team can help you create a personalized plan to complement your treatment. -
What are the benefits of long-term use of weight loss medications?
In addition to helping maintain a healthy body weight, weight loss medications help to keep blood sugar under control. This effect appears to last for the long term.
For people living with type 2 diabetes, keeping blood sugar under control can help to reduce the risk of long-term health effects such as heart disease and kidney disease. In addition, people taking these weight loss medications have been found to have significantly lower blood pressure than those taking a placebo.
Recent studies have also found benefits for those experiencing heart failure. Over one year, people taking weight loss medications experienced significantly greater improvements in symptoms and physical function than those taking a placebo.
Safety Concerns
-
What are the potential side effects of weight loss medications?
Like all medications, they can have several potential side effects. If you experience any of these side effects, you should consult your doctor to review your treatment plan.
Some of the potential side effects of these weight loss medications are:- 恶心和呕吐
- 便秘或腹胀
- 头痛
- 胃灼热
- 腹痛
- 嗝气或消化不良
- 过敏反应（如荨麻疹、肿胀或皮疹）
-
Is it safe to use weight loss medications long-term?
Overall, weight loss medications are considered to be safe for long-term use. A study has shown a 20% reduction in risk of heart disease and stroke in obese individuals with the use of these medications. There does appear to be a slightly increased risk of gallbladder disease with longer-term use, although the risk is extremely small. -
