Why medical weight loss actually works

What is medically supervised weight loss, and why does it actually work?

No diet, no willpower. Medically supervised weight loss tackles the root cause: with medication that regulates your hunger hormones and a dedicated care team that guides you from day one to your goal and beyond.

No more yo-yo effect

This is how it works

What does medically supervised weight loss do?

An approach that works with your body, supported by medical professionals from start to finish.

Medication

GLP-1 medication regulates your hunger hormones at a biological level. Your appetite normalizes and you feel full sooner, without constantly having to hold back.

Medical supervision

Continuous monitoring ensures that the process remains safe and responsible. In the event of plateaus or side effects, adjustments are made in a timely manner: always the right support at the right time.

Lifestyle coaching

Coaching supports you in building positive behaviors and habits that make a difference in the long term.

Sustainable weight loss

Medication addresses the biology, guidance keeps it safe and responsible, and coaching ensures it lasts. Together, the three pillars form an approach that goes beyond a temporary diet.

What makes it different

This is different from dieting or exercising

Diets fail because they go against your body's biology. Medically supervised weight loss works with your body, not against it.

Hunger undermines everything

Constant willpower needed

Doing it alone, without support

Your body works against you.

Yo-yo effect after quitting

Food noise remains present

Medically supervised weight loss

Your body cooperates

Someone is always available

Biologically supported

Lasting change

Food noise disappears

GLP-1 Medication

GLP-1 medication helps you lose weight in 3 ways

GLP-1 is a hormone that your body naturally produces after eating. The medication amplifies this signal, with three direct effects on your weight.

Reduces appetite

GLP-1 sends a signal to your brain that you are full, even if you have eaten less than normal. That feeling of constant hunger decreases significantly.

1

Stabilizes blood sugar

Peaks and valleys in blood sugar cause cravings, fatigue, and emotional eating. GLP-1 keeps blood sugar stable, making you more energetic and less likely to reach for snacks.

2

Satiated faster

GLP-1 ensures that food stays in the stomach longer, so you feel full for longer after eating. Smaller portions feel comfortable and sufficient.

3

Easy to use

One injection weekly, the rest takes care of itself.

GLP-1 medication is injected once a week using a simple pen. A small moment, a big effect: less hunger all week, more stable blood sugar, and a fuller feeling after eating.

Which medicine suits you? Aevita works exclusively with safe and approved GLP-1 medication. Your doctor determines together with you which medication best suits your situation and goals. All medication is shipped from our own pharmacy in Soest.

Suitability

Who might this be suitable for?

Medical weight loss can be suitable for people who have already made multiple attempts and find that losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight remains difficult.

Safety and reliability

Is this safe?

Yes, provided it is properly supervised. At Aevita, medical safety and care always come first.

Medical assessment before the start

We only start if it is medically responsible. A doctor assesses your situation beforehand and only prescribes medication if everything is correct. Includes a mandatory video consultation with your nurse.

A dedicated nurse who knows your situation

Throughout your process, you have a dedicated point of contact who knows you, thinks along with you, and makes your guidance more personal and careful.

Medication monitoring under one roof

Your medication is carefully checked and prepared in our own pharmacy in Soest. The care team and pharmacy are directly coordinated to ensure optimal medication monitoring.

Guidance that goes beyond the prescription

Safe care doesn't stop after the prescription. Your assigned nurse actively monitors for side effects and contacts you proactively if there are any signs, even before you have to call. You always have direct contact via the Aevita Life app. And your medication is delivered chilled to your home free of charge or is ready for pickup in Soest, ensuring that the final step is also carefully arranged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions answered

Everything you want to know about GLP-1 medication, our approach, and what to expect from an Aevita program.

What makes Aevita different from other providers?

At Aevita, you are assigned a dedicated nurse who guides you from day one to achieving your goal. No changing care providers, no generic advice. We respond within one hour on working days, think proactively with you, and supply medication from our own pharmacy. You won't find that collaboration anywhere else.

How quickly will I see results?

Most participants notice less hunger and start losing weight within the first two weeks. On average, people lose 0.5 to 1 kg per week. The pace varies per person and depends on medication, lifestyle, and starting weight. The calculation tool on this page provides a personal estimate.

Is GLP-1 medication safe?

Yes, provided it is properly supervised. GLP-1 medication has been extensively researched and approved for use in obesity. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal complaints in the first week, which quickly subside in most people. At Aevita, we always start with a low dosage and build up gradually under medical supervision.

Am I eligible for medical weight loss?

You are eligible if you have a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher in combination with weight-related conditions such as high blood pressure. During the free intake, we will assess your situation and determine together what suits you best.

How much does a program at Aevita cost?

The costs consist of the medication and the guidance. The price depends on the chosen medication and the duration of your treatment. We are fully transparent about costs, and you know exactly what to expect before you start. The first intake is always free and without obligation.

What happens if I stop taking the medication?

Medication supports weight loss, but sustainable results depend on the habits you build during the process. That is why lifestyle coaching is always part of the program at Aevita. This way, you are better able to maintain your new weight, even without medication.

Is the program covered by health insurance?

Medical weight loss is currently not covered by basic health insurance. Some supplementary insurance policies reimburse (part of) the costs. We advise you to check this with your own insurer. We can tell you more about this during the intake.
