For many couples and individuals trying to conceive, the journey to pregnancy can feel overwhelming—especially when weight is a factor. While society often oversimplifies the relationship between fertility and body weight, the truth is more complex. But here’s what we do know: safe, doctor-guided weight management may support fertility outcomes, especially when supported by a multidisciplinary medical team.
At our Gold Coast clinic, we offer medically supervised weight loss programs designed to support fertility—whether you’re planning for pregnancy naturally or with assistance like IVF or IUI. With locations in Southport, Surfers Paradise, and Telehealth options across Queensland, we help you improve reproductive health without fad diets or guesswork.
Why Medically Supervised Programs Matter
Unlike commercial weight loss plans or restrictive diets, a medically supervised weight loss program offers:
- Comprehensive medical assessments
- Support from GPs, dietitians, and specialists
- Prescription treatments when appropriate
- Nutrition tailored for hormone and fertility health
- Continuous monitoring to ensure safety and progress
Fertility-related weight loss isn’t just about numbers on the scale—it’s about optimising hormone levels, reducing inflammation, and supporting ovulation and sperm health.
How Our Programs Support Fertility
Our clinic focuses on the full picture of your reproductive and metabolic health. Here’s how we structure our fertility-focused programs:
1. Initial Fertility and Health Assessment
Your first step includes a detailed consultation with one of our experienced GPs, including:
- Blood tests for reproductive and metabolic hormones
- Insulin resistance testing
- Body composition analysis (not just BMI)
- Screening for conditions like PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, or nutrient deficiencies
This data informs a plan that works for you, not a generic approach.
2. Personalised Nutrition Plans for Fertility
Our Accredited Practising Dietitians create fertility-supportive meal plans focusing on:
- Low-GI carbohydrates to balance insulin and hormones
- High-fibre, anti-inflammatory foods (vegetables, legumes, whole grains)
- Healthy fats for hormone production (avocado, flaxseed, oily fish)
- Adequate protein to stabilise blood sugar and support ovulatory function
We make it practical, too—think batch cooking tips, grocery lists, and simple meal swaps.
3. Prescription Medications When Clinically Appropriate
For patients with conditions like PCOS, metabolic syndrome, or insulin resistance, medication may help:
- Treatments to improve insulin sensitivity
- Treatments to help reduce appetite and support weight loss
- Referral to endocrinologists or fertility clinics if IVF or further support is needed
Our GPs ensure all prescriptions are compatible with fertility treatments or preconception care.
4. Ongoing Support, Progress Monitoring & Telehealth
Fertility journeys are emotional. We provide:
- Regular check-ins to adjust your plan as needed
- Mental health referrals for stress, anxiety, or disordered eating patterns
- Telehealth access for anyone across Queensland, including rural or remote areas
We believe in whole-person care—because your health is more than just physical.
