Juniper exists to redefine the way women manage weight gain

Juniper was launched in 2021 by a team of doctors, dietitians, physiologists and people passionate about creating a new method of weight management.

We pair scientifically proven, medically-backed weight loss treatments with ongoing health coaching, clinical consultations, a supportive community of like-minded women, and a dedicated support team. This approach helps our patients achieve better health, confidence and long-term weight loss.

Have you struggled to lose weight and keep it off?

The way we’ve approached obesity in the past has been stigmatised and largely unsuccessful. Here’s why:

Up to 80% of weight is determined by genetics³

Obesity is a biologically predisposed disease, so for many people, lifestyle changes alone won’t always lead to long-term results.

Weight loss advice from GP's is often ineffective

Advice from GPs to patients living with obesity is often generic, rarely includes useful methods, is mostly centred around an ‘eat less, do more’ approach4, and lacks support services.

Fad diets can do more harm than good

Restrictive diets and workout plans can trigger your body to produce leptin (the hunger hormone) and ghrelin (the satiety hormone) to keep weight on5.

A CLINICAL TRIAL FOUND

Juniper patients lost more weight, in less time

New research on one of our treatment plans found that Juniper members were 4.5x more likely to lose significant weight than those on treatment alone.5

Why? Because the Juniper program offers complementary strategies for long-term results and ongoing support from weight management experts.

How we do it

High-quality consults

All prescribers at Juniper are registered and trained doctors and nurse practitioners who are specialists in weight loss treatment.

During consults, our practitioners have access to a full set of tools on our platform - they can request photos, blood tests and ask for an external validation of medical history before prescribing.

Continuity of care

One of our biggest strengths is our ability to leverage technology to maintain regular contact with our patients.

The experience doesn’t end with the consult, instead, treatment continues with regular practitioner check-ins and follow-up consultations, as well as access to a wider care team of doctors, nurses, dietitians and nutritionists.

Rigorous clinical auditing

We track patient safety at every touchpoint thanks to our unique technical capability to collect and track care data. This allows us to implement, review and evolve stringent safety regulations.Our clinical operations team audits more than 6,000 consults a month for safety and quality, while also holding our wider care team to first response time and quality targets.

Research

In line with our dedication to enhancing digital healthcare standards, we publish our insights to add to the digital weight loss literature with the broader medical community. We have published over 19 peer-reviewed studies that focus on real-world patient outcomes.

World-class logistics

We only obtain genuine branded treatments from secure and licensed suppliers. We store our treatments in a continuously-monitored, purpose-built cold room facility and we ship treatments in protective, temperature-controlled packaging. We use Australia Post or StarTrack’s next-day service to ensure treatments arrive on time.

Created by the best minds in weight management

An integrated team of experienced doctors, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, dietitians and health coaches manages each patient’s care plan as their journey evolves.
