About us

We make it easy for you to understand the different weight loss pills available, before you speak to a prescriber. We translate dense research on drugs in clinical trials into clear, easy-to-read info so you can make informed choices.

What makes us different

  1. Laser-focus on pills, not potions - we cover licensed medicines and promising trials, never fad “fat burners”.

  2. Plain language, no scare tactics - every guide is written so all adults in the UK can understand it.

  3. Medical review on every article - each page is checked by a UK-registered NHS GP before it goes live.

How we build trust

  • Evidence first - we cite NICE guidance, peer-review studies and MHRA safety alerts.

  • Date-stamped updates - every article shows “last reviewed” and the reviewer’s name.

  • Reader feedback loop – we encourage readers to contact us with suggested topics - we reply within 1 business day.

Our editorial process

  1. Research - scan journals, NICE updates and MHRA alerts.

  2. Draft in plain English - short sentences, everyday words.

  3. Clinical fact-check - Dr Hussain checks accuracy and safety.

  4. Legal & compliance review - MHRA and CAP guidance applied.

  5. Publish - article goes live with citations and review date.

  6. Annual review - or sooner if new data appears.
