What if I experience side effects?

If you experience side effects, we will support you with unlimited practitioner support available 7 days a week.

Your Juniper practitioner will take the time to understand your medical history, as well as your family’s, to ensure the safest treatment plan for you. While rare, some individuals may have a slightly higher risk of extremely uncommon side effects. In such cases, your practitioner will always err on the side of caution and explore alternative options if needed.

Will I need to stay on these treatments for life?

Our goal is to help you achieve sustainable, long-term results.

How long you stay on treatment depends on your goals, health history, and how your body responds.

Your Juniper practitioner will work with you to create a personalised plan, including how to maintain your progress if and when you choose to stop treatment.

Are they appropriate for me if I don’t have diabetes?

Yes, absolutely. These treatments were originally developed for diabetes management but are now widely recommended for weight loss due to their ability to regulate appetite and support metabolic health.

At Juniper, we carefully assess each patient’s medical history, lifestyle, and weight management goals to ensure they are receiving the right treatment for their unique needs. If you’re unsure whether it’s the right fit for you, our medical team is here to help.

How does medical weight loss safety compare to bariatric surgery?

These treatments are a non-invasive, medically supervised approach to weight loss, making them a safer alternative to bariatric surgery.

This major surgery is effective, but causes permanent changes to digestion, and significant recovery time. It’s usually recommended for severe obesity when other treatments haven’t worked.

Juniper’s treatment works toward a more gradual weight loss.

Your Juniper practitioner will help determine the best approach based on your health history and goals.

Has medical weight loss treatment been linked to cancer?

Medical weight loss treatments are widely researched, well-established, and approved by leading medical authorities worldwide for weight management and metabolic health. Studies show they are generally well tolerated and effective.

Concerns about cancer largely stem from early animal studies, but these findings haven’t been replicated in human trials. If you have a personal or family history of certain rare conditions, your Juniper practitioner will carefully assess your eligibility and discuss any potential risks before prescribing treatment. Your safety always comes first.

Is Juniper a legitimate company?

Juniper is an accredited Australian telehealth service that follows strict medical and regulatory standards. Our team consists of registered Australian doctors, Nurse Practitioners, pharmacists, dietitians, and nutritionists, all specialising in weight management.

Are Juniper practitioners financially incentivised to recommend treatment?

Every treatment recommendation through Juniper is based on a thorough medical assessment by a qualified Australian practitioner.

Our prescribers are not financially incentivised to recommend treatment—they focus solely on determining the best course of action for your health. If a treatment isn’t right for you, our team will provide alternative recommendations or refer you to your GP. Our priority is your safety, not profits.

Do online health platforms compromise on patient care?

One of the key benefits of online care is the ability to maintain consistent support for patients through a dedicated healthcare team. In contrast, patients seeking weight loss treatment through a traditional GP may experience long wait times and limited follow-up.

With Juniper, patients receive ongoing care and guidance throughout their journey. This includes regular check-ins, follow-up consultations with prescribers, and support from dietitians, lifestyle coaches, and other registered healthcare professionals.

As access to GPs becomes more challenging across Australia, particularly in regional areas, Juniper provides a convenient and reliable way to receive expert medical care without the wait.

Are online healthcare services as thorough as in-person consultations?

Juniper practitioners are registered and trained Australian healthcare professionals, including doctors, Nurse Practitioners, and pharmacists, who are highly experienced in weight management and metabolic health. Many of our doctors are Fellows of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), meaning they have completed extensive additional training and assessments to practise independently.

Our platform follows strict safety and quality standards, ensuring that patients receive thorough and personalised care.

Patients using Juniper often receive more consistent support than they would through traditional healthcare, with regular check-ins and ongoing access to their care team—something that isn’t always possible with infrequent GP visits.

Juniper was the tool I needed to change my lifestyle forever and lose 50kg.
The support of the staff, accessibility of the app, and the online community have been a significant motivator for my new life. I’m able to better manage my mental health and my chronic illnesses as a result of my weight loss. As a lover of meal replacement shakes, I also want to call out the chocolate protein meal replacement as I found them delicious and filling. I would recommend Juniper to all who have found GP experiences unsupportive and judgmental when involving weight management.
Juniper helped when nothing else could!
In 2024 I was fed up with eating well, exercising heaps and still stacking on weight. I’d read about the treatments and decided to invest in myself. From day one I’ve felt supported and encouraged. So far I’ve lost 20kg, and with my goal weight on the horizon I’m feeling more energetic and so much happier.
Juniper honestly changed my life.
I lost 30kg in 11 months. The support system was a big reason I was so successful. If I ever had questions, a medical professional was always promptly available to help. I also loved that I found three shakes at Woolies; I have one for breakfast every morning on the way to work. Now I don’t have to wait for delivery… would recommend!
Supportive, non-judgemental weight loss help.
I have now been on Juniper for a few months and have lost 10kg. I never had a weight problem until menopause, so when the weight gain took control I couldn’t understand what was happening. I saw multiple GPs who didn’t know to refer me or just told me to eat less. I was doing three hours of exercise a day, but my food and alcohol intake still negated it—which I didn’t realize until I started on the injections. Within a few days, my brain was quiet. The Juniper team has constantly checked in on me and I have felt totally supported. I’d recommend this company if you’re looking for help with your weight.
Great service.
Great service consultants are very responsive and willing to assist. The program really works, and there’s also a great online group all sharing a common goal.
Juniper staff are very helpful
and I feel like I get help and support at any time!
