MoreLife - Weight Management Service

MoreLife Weight Loss Service is an evidence based weight management programme following best practice

Delivered and supported by weight management practitioners and a range of health and research clinicians such as GPs, Dieticians and psychologists. The programme is delivered in a group format and lasts for 12 months in total starting with a 14-week intensive programme, then monthly meetings and finally ongoing drop in support. The service is available to anyone aged 17 and over who are living within South Essex and/or registered with a South Essex GP practice (excluding Southend). MoreLife is different from other weight management approaches that tell people what they “should do” to lose weight. Although we talk about food and activity in our sessions, we are a psychologically focused service because MoreLife believes that this will provide the tools for sustainable weight loss.
