Introduction

zoey™ provides women-focused medical weight loss through MOH-compliant telehealth. From comprehensive health assessment to personalised treatment plans and discreet delivery, here's how the process works.

Key Points

Understanding the core aspects of this topic helps women make informed decisions about their health and treatment options.

What the Evidence Shows

Clinical trials of GLP-1 medications included substantial female participation (50-70% in most studies), providing robust evidence for efficacy and safety in women¹. Weight loss outcomes were consistent between genders, though women may experience some gender-specific considerations.

Singapore Context

Singapore women face unique challenges including high work-life demands, cultural dietary practices, and specific health concerns. zoey™ provides treatment plans that account for these factors.

Practical Guidance

Every treatment decision should be made with your specific health profile in mind. Here are the key practical points relevant to this topic.

For Women on Treatment

• Maintain adequate protein intake (1.2-1.6 g/kg/day) to preserve lean mass
• Report any menstrual changes or unusual symptoms to your doctor
• Stay well hydrated, especially during dose escalation periods
• Combine medication with regular exercise (resistance training is particularly important)

When to Contact Your Doctor

• Significant menstrual irregularity or unexpected bleeding
• Severe or persistent GI side effects
• Signs of dehydration
• Mood changes or other unusual symptoms
• If you suspect pregnancy

Cost in Singapore (SGD)

GLP-1 receptor agonist medications for weight management in Singapore typically cost SGD $200–500 per month depending on the specific medication and dosage. zoey™ offers structured weight management plans with ongoing doctor oversight and support.

FAQ

1. Is this treatment safe for women?

Yes. GLP-1 medications have been extensively studied in women with a well-established safety profile¹. Women-specific considerations (contraception, pregnancy planning) require additional discussion with your doctor.

2. How does zoey™ support women specifically?

zoey™ assessments include women's health factors (menstrual health, contraception, pregnancy history, PCOS, menopause) that general platforms may not address. Treatment plans are tailored to women's unique needs.

3. Will this affect my fertility?

Weight loss generally improves fertility, particularly for women with PCOS. However, GLP-1 medications must be stopped before trying to conceive. Discuss family planning timelines with your doctor.

4. Can I use this alongside other women's health treatments?

In most cases, yes. GLP-1 medications can generally be used alongside HRT, contraception (with appropriate precautions), and other treatments. Always inform your doctor about all medications.

5. What about hair thinning?

Rapid weight loss from any cause can trigger temporary telogen effluvium (hair shedding). Adequate protein intake and gradual weight loss minimise this risk. The shedding is temporary and hair regrows.
