Ava's weight loss story
Real people, real impact
Since joining Numan’s Weight Loss Programme, Ava has embraced a holistic approach to treating her obesity. With expert-led care, including weight loss medication and tailored support, she’s seeing positive changes every day.
Watch her story:
“My body wasn't mine anymore. I didn’t know who I was when I looked in the mirror. So I thought ‘right I need to take a bit of control, I need to get my life back, I need to feel like me again.'
And then one night I was lying in bed, I couldn’t sleep, and saw Numan...
My mum said to me the other day, ‘You’re happy now, aren’t you?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’
You’ve got that, not, physical weight, but emotional weight. That cloud has lifted.”
“I'm someone that's always struggled with my weight. It usually fluctuates and I found that it's harder to lose weight.
I've been consistently losing weight… while not limiting myself. My confidence was gradually coming back. I don't feel the need to decline social invitations, or I don't feel the need to wear a hoodie and pants all the time. I'm actually happy with the way I look.”
“I was making bad choices food-wise. I was busy in my career as a performer, so when you drive three hours to a venue, load in, set up, there’s not a lot of time before you start playing so there’s not a lot of time to go and get something to eat.
I did a little bit of searching, found Numan, and went to my GP for a chat about going on this journey. She said, ‘Great, do it. I’ll be really interested to see how it goes for you.’ And here we are talking about it with a big smile on my face.”

Health coaching: your personalised support system
Real results come from real support. With Numan’s health coaching, patients like Rebecca and Alex have not only achieved their weight loss goals but also learned how to maintain them long-term. Health coaching isn’t about restrictive diets or gruelling workout regimes. Instead, it’s tailored to you, designed to fit seamlessly into your life and make sustainable changes.
Rebecca’s story highlights the power of behavioural coaching. “Shahana has been enthusiastic, supportive, and genuinely invested in my journey. Our weekly check-ins and her guidance on managing side effects and optimising my nutrition have been crucial. She’s available for a phone call to clarify nutritional information whenever I need it,” she shares.
Patients who have never tried weight loss medication before and actively engage with coaching and the app see 50% more weight loss compared to those using medication alone.1
Obesity: a disease, not a lifestyle choice
Obesity is a complex disease influenced by genetics, hormones, mental health, and environment.2 It’s not just about eating less and moving more. Recognising obesity as a disease helps reduce stigma and opens the door to more effective treatment options.
Patients like Johanna have embraced this new perspective. Struggling with weight gain during menopause, she found solace in understanding her body’s unique challenges and accessing the right tools through Numan’s programme. “If you’re going through menopause, weight loss is difficult. The programme has helped to suppress my appetite and stopped me from feeling as bloated as I used to. I’m also more active. I can honestly say it’s the best thing I’ve ever done."
The programme: a proven path to long-term success
Numan’s Weight Loss Programme combines clinically-proven medication, expert-led coaching, and continuous support to tackle obesity head-on. Patients like Ava and John have seen remarkable transformations, thanks to the programme’s holistic approach.
“The medication helps manage hunger, but having my health coach there has been crucial. They’ve been a huge part of this journey, helping me with both mental and physical aspects of weight loss" says John.
The programme offers more than medication; it’s a complete support system, connecting patients to clinicians, health coaches, and cutting-edge science.
