Moss Metabolics is a comprehensive weight loss and lifestyle service with a focus on evidence-based disease prevention and multi-disciplinary intervention. Our mission is to help you achieve long-term sustainable weight loss as part of a healthy lifestyle. The service provides both medical and surgical weight loss options. Our team is dedicated to providing an evidence-based, multi-faceted approach that recognises obesity as a chronic disease that requires life-long treatment and care.
THE PROGRAM
We offer one of the only holistic multi-discipliary services for weight loss and obesity in Nowra, NSW. Our program runs over two years.
The medical pathway will be an intensive initial 12-week program with the aim of rapid weight loss.
This is followed by a phase of dietary supervision and sustainable physical activity to maintain weight loss and healthy habits. Finally, we offer a maintenance program with the goal of minimising weight regain.
The surgical pathway involves a four-week pre-operative program followed by close post-operative supervision and nutrition support, leading into the healthy habits and physical activity program. Again, the maintenance phase aims to minimise weight regain.
