Enter your height, weight, and target weight to find out your BMI and when you can reach your ideal weight.
Weight loss medicines are prescribed at the start of treatment. Doctors will help you with the choice of treatment, renewal of prescriptions, and any necessary dose adjustments. The care team also helps with the availability and alternative prescriptions if there is a shortage.
Prescribing pharmaceuticals requires taking samples of your blood values. These are then gathered in your medical record in your Health Dashboard where your doctor helps you understand and optimize your health beyond just your weight. During treatment, tests are carried out approximately every six months to understand the risks and possible side effects.
In addition to the prescription of pharmaceuticals, you will always have access to medical consultations via chat, phone, or video. Your doctor will provide continuous follow-ups, support, and advice on your treatment and well-being.
Coaching is an important part of the journey to better health. Through our coaches - who are dieticians, nurses, and pharmacists - we will help you get and stay motivated to make the necessary changes.
Weight loss is more than just diet. Supernormal's users can therefore test many of the factors that are crucial for sustained weight loss. Currently, we are able to test hormones that affect appetite and satiety, understand risks related to your obesity, as well as how to influence sleep, and understand how changes from the environment affect your conditions.
The short answer is yes. Primarily because weight loss is a challenge for many, not least due to biological factors actively resisting weight loss. For the vast majority, it's unfortunately very difficult to maintain successful weight loss solely by changing their diet and exercise habits. With modern methods, especially GLP-1 analogs, we now have access to an effective solution without the need for surgery, where those treated with medication along with lifestyle changes can lose up to 15-20%. In comparable studies, those without medication have lost 2.4% of their weight.
In most cases and when available, medication with semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy are the most effective on the market that can be sold in Sweden) is prescribed. We base this on your preferences and circumstances. Due to high demand for these medications, we maintain close communication with pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies so that we can promptly inform you when medications become available.
Just like with other medications, there are potential side effects. These mainly involve the stomach and intestines and are usually mild and temporary. You will receive information about this and what you can influence in the beginning of your treatment. To work with medication safely, the dosage will be gradually increased to reduce potential risks and side effects. The health benefits of long-term weight loss for our patients are significant. Therefore, we are committed to closely monitoring you as a patient and assisting you if any side effects occur. We aim to enable you to achieve the most effective, long-term, and smooth weight loss possible.
The latest studies show an average weight loss of about 15% in the first 12 months. The majority of the weight loss occurs within the first 4-6 months, and the goal of the treatment is to achieve and maintain a healthy weight level with a BMI of 20-25.
However, every weight loss journey is unique, so there are no absolute answers that apply to everyone. The important thing in your journey is to be kind to yourself and follow your treatment plan without any stress.
To offer you a safe and effective treatment, it's important that we have a clear picture of your health status. You can have your blood test done at any of our affiliated sampling locations. The check-up includes analysis of blood count, blood lipids, liver and kidney function, thyroid function, and blood sugar levels. After the sampling, one of our doctors will assess your results digitally. This means you can go through the process conveniently from your own home.
Currently, you can provide samples in the following locations: Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Uppsala, Västerås, Mölndal, Lidköping, Eskilstuna, Katrineholm, Falköping, Örebro, Nyköping, Falun, Hässleholm and Lund.
