How the Foundry Health Programme Works: A Step-by-Step Guide

The Foundry Health programme is designed to be simple, secure, and supportive, delivered entirely online for your convenience. We have built a clear, step-by-step patient journey where your safety and treatment suitability are our highest priorities. Every stage is overseen by medical professionals, adhering to the strict clinical guidelines that ensure Safety, Regulation, and Trust are at the core of our service. Below is a guide to how our expert-led process works.

Step 1: Complete Your Secure Online Consultation

Your journey begins with a confidential online consultation. You will answer a series of thorough health questions designed to create a comprehensive profile for our clinical team. This secure form can be completed at your own pace, from the comfort of your home, providing our clinicians with the detailed information they need to assess your health needs accurately.

Step 2: Expert Clinical Review & Personalised Plan

Once submitted, your consultation is reviewed in detail by one of our UK-registered clinicians. This expert review is a critical step where we determine your eligibility for medical weight management and identify the most suitable treatment for you. If our clinician approves your treatment, a personalised plan is created, and your prescription is generated and sent directly to our partner pharmacy.

Step 3: Medication from a Regulated UK Pharmacy

Your prescribed treatment is dispensed and dispatched by our GPhC-regulated partner pharmacy in the UK. We ensure your medication is delivered securely and discreetly to your chosen address, in packaging that protects your privacy. Every delivery includes all the necessary information and instructions for you to administer your treatment safely and effectively.

Step 4: Ongoing Support and Follow-Up Care

Effective weight management is a continuous journey, not a one-time prescription. The Foundry Health programme includes regular check-ins to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your plan. You will have access to our clinical team for any questions or support you need along the way. We also manage your repeat prescriptions to ensure you receive uninterrupted, seamless care.

Is a Medical Weight Loss Programme Right for You?

Embarking on a weight management journey is a significant decision. If you have found traditional methods like diet and exercise challenging, a medical approach can offer the support you need. However, prescription treatments are not suitable for everyone. At Foundry Health, our commitment is to provide care only when it is safe, appropriate, and clinically justified. This section will help you understand our criteria and assess if our service aligns with your health needs.

Understanding Clinical Eligibility Criteria

Our UK-registered clinicians adhere strictly to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines for weight management. Eligibility for prescription treatment is based on a thorough clinical assessment during your online consultation, which primarily considers:

• Body Mass Index (BMI): Treatment is typically considered for individuals with a BMI of 30 or greater (classified as obese), or a BMI of 27 or greater with at least one weight-related health condition, such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.
• Medical History: A comprehensive review of your personal and family medical history is essential to ensure the treatment is safe and suitable for your specific circumstances.

Who We Can Help

Understanding if a medical weight loss programme is the right choice involves more than just clinical metrics; it's also about your readiness for change. Our programme is designed for individuals who are:

• Seeking a long-term, sustainable solution rather than a quick fix.
• Ready to combine prescribed medication with positive lifestyle adjustments, including improvements in nutrition and physical activity.
• Value the reassurance and safety that comes with a medically-supervised plan led by expert clinicians.

Patient Safety: Who We Cannot Treat

Your health is our first priority, and our rigorous screening process is designed to protect you. For this reason, we are unable to prescribe medication to individuals who fall into certain categories, including those who:

• Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or actively trying to conceive.
• Have certain pre-existing medical conditions, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, or severe kidney disease.
• Are taking other medications that may have a negative interaction with weight loss treatments.

If our programme is not suitable for you, our clinicians will provide a clear explanation and may suggest alternative paths for your weight management journey.

Our Treatments: Clinically-Proven Prescription Medications

For many people, sustainable weight loss involves more than just diet and exercise. Biological factors can make it challenging to manage hunger and maintain a calorie deficit. This is where medical support can be transformative. At Foundry Health, we provide access to licensed, evidence-based prescription medications that work alongside your lifestyle changes to help you achieve your wellness goals.

Every treatment plan is built on a foundation of safety and clinical expertise. Before any medication is prescribed, a UK-registered clinician conducts a thorough and secure online consultation to review your medical history and confirm your suitability. We believe in empowering you with knowledge, providing comprehensive information on how your prescribed treatment works and what to expect on your journey.

How Prescription Weight Loss Medications Work

Modern weight loss medications are not stimulants or "quick-fix" pills. They are advanced treatments, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, designed to work with your body’s natural appetite-regulating systems. By mimicking a gut hormone, they help to reset the signals between your brain and your digestive system. This has several key effects:

• Reduces Hunger: The medication helps to lower feelings of hunger and reduce intrusive food cravings.
• Increases Fullness: It slows down the rate at which your stomach empties, helping you feel fuller for longer after meals.
• Supports Calorie Reduction: By managing your appetite, the treatment makes it easier to adhere to a lower-calorie diet without feeling deprived.

This biological support helps create the right conditions for you to build and maintain healthier eating habits for long-term success.

Why a Prescription and Clinical Oversight is Essential

Obtaining weight loss drugs from unregulated online sources is extremely dangerous and can expose you to counterfeit or unsafe products. A prescription from a qualified clinician is not just a formality-it is a critical safety measure. Our clinical team ensures the treatment is medically appropriate for you, assessing potential contraindications and monitoring your progress carefully.

The foundry health platform provides a safe, discreet, and legal pathway to access these treatments in the UK. Our clinicians offer ongoing support, helping you manage any potential side effects and ensuring your treatment remains effective. Your health is our highest priority, and our regulated process reflects that commitment.
