Understanding Wraparound Care and Weight Loss Medication

Starting your prescribed weight loss medication can feel like a big step, and it often raises questions: What should I be doing alongside the medication? How do I make sure the results last?

This page explains what wraparound care is, gives a simple overview of Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®), and shows you how extra support can help you get the most from your treatment.

What is Wraparound Care?

Wraparound care is a 10-month programme that provides holistic lifestyle support alongside your weight-loss medication.

Each session, you’ll have support from experienced practitioners who will teach you the skills needed to keep the weight off and make lasting behaviour changes.

You won’t be doing this alone. Our experienced practitioners are here to support you, offer guidance, and help you feel confident in making positive changes. Everything we do is designed with your wellbeing and long-term success in mind.

Please note that this service is for patients being prescribed Tirzepatide by their primary care provider and is not available for those accessing the treatment privately. 

The goal is to help you make changes that not only support your weight loss now but also protect your overall wellbeing for the future.

Learn how to build balanced meals that keep you feeling full, fuel your day, and support healthy weight loss. We’ll look at portion sizes, food swaps, and how to make changes that work with your lifestyle rather than against it.

You don’t need a gym membership to be active. We’ll help you find simple ways to move more in your daily life – whether that’s walking, stretching, or short bursts of exercise – so it becomes a natural habit rather than a chore.

Quality sleep can make weight loss easier by improving energy levels, reducing cravings, and supporting mental health. We’ll share small, realistic changes to help you sleep better and feel more refreshed.

Weight loss isn’t always straightforward. We’ll give you tools to stay positive, manage setbacks, and keep moving forward so you feel more confident in reaching your goals.

Stress and alcohol can both affect weight loss and overall wellbeing. We’ll help you spot triggers, manage them more effectively, and find healthier coping strategies that support your progress.

About Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®)

Tirzepatide (brand name Mounjaro®) is a medication used to support weight management for people who meet certain eligibility criteria.

Mounjaro® acts on natural hormones in the body to:

  • Help you feel fuller for longer
  • Reduce hunger and cravings
  • Slow down digestion
  • Improve how your body controls blood sugar

 

Adults may be offered tirzepatide if they have:

A BMI of 40 or more and 4 of the following comorbidities:

  • High Blood Pressure
  • type 2 Diabetes
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
  • Cardiovascular Disease
  • Dyslipidaemia

 

For people from South Asian, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Black African or African-Caribbean backgrounds, the BMI cut-off may be around 32.5 or more (because health risks occur at a lower BMI in these groups).

Always speak to your prescriber for personal medical advice.

Important to know

  • It is not a quick fix – you need to continue with healthy lifestyle changes.
  • It may not be suitable for everyone, so your doctor or specialist team will decide if it’s right for you.

Why Wraparound Care Matters

Taking weight loss medication can help kickstart your journey, but it’s only one part of the picture. Wraparound care gives you the support, knowledge, and confidence to make sure the changes you experience don’t just stop when the prescription does.

With the right guidance, you can:

  • Feel supported every step of the way – Knowing there’s someone to talk to and practical advice you can trust makes the process less overwhelming.
  • Learn skills that last a lifetime – From understanding food choices to improving sleep and managing stress, these tools will help you long after the programme ends.
  • Stay motivated and on track – It’s easier to keep going when you have a plan, clear goals, and people cheering you on.
  • Build confidence in your health – The more you learn about how your body responds to change, the more control you’ll feel over your progress.


Ultimately, wraparound care makes weight loss a whole-person journey rather than just a focus on the scales. It’s about feeling healthier, more confident, and better prepared for the future.
