Frequently asked questions

What medications does Nume use? Are they approved in Australia?

Nume offers consultations with licensed General Practitioners to recommend suitable medications. We adhere to Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) guidelines, not disclosing medication names before consultation.

Our treatment is also not dependent on the use of medications to obtain weight loss success. Instead, we utilise these options based out of patient preference and practitioner recommendations, it is not our primary focus to achieve results. Our proprietary limited technology is what we use instead to create long term, holistic outcomes one desires.

To learn more about these options, we recommend speaking to our friendly Healthcare Program Consultants to understand your preferences and what treatment may involve.

Why does Nume use genetic testing and how does it work?

Let's reverse this question somewhat. Why does a weight loss drug work for some and not for others? Why are certain family members experiencing weight related issues, whereas others are not? The answer is most likely to do with genetics. Rather than prescribing a medication and hoping it works, we utilise our genetic testing panels to understand symptoms and their root cause.

The aim is to ultimately mitigate these symptoms via the bodies natural methylation. For example, if you test high risk for binge eating variants and you struggle is binge eating, our goal would be to calm this trigger down. The best part is, this part of treatment is natural with no side effects.

Our genetic testing panels have been created alongside prestigious establishments such as the University of San Diego, with partnerships extending as far as Oxford and Cambridge University. The process is quite simple, we send you a saliva swab with a return slip and our Australian NATA accredited labs will sequence your sample anonymously.

Nume has pioneered for enhanced protection and under new Australian law, insurers can no longer discriminate and refuse claims based on genetic test results.

How do I get started with my weight loss treatment?

To get started, you'll first answer questions about your medical history and weight loss goals to create your custom profile. Once you've spoken to one of our Healthcare Program Consultants who approves a slot on treatment intake to be allocated to you.

Depending on your preferences and profile, a licensed practitioner may review your information and conduct a 30-minute consultation to determine the best treatment plan for you.

How does Nume prevent side effects?

If you're exploring a natural or medicated form of treatment, you should consider side effects. While weight loss is an intended side effect of treatment, others may arise. Our practitioners will discuss potential treatment side effects in detail, and to prevent this, we expect patients to disclose all medications or supplements currently taken, alongside any health conditions that must be considered.

We provide a Consumer Medicine Information guide and monitor treatment closely for safety during check ins. Furthermore, we gather essential information such as our genetic testing insights to not only help you lose weight and keep it off, but to mitigate potential side effects where possible.

Why do you only intake 80 patients per month?

We limit our intake to 80 patients per month to ensure we deliver the highest quality service. Prioritising quality over quantity allows us to maintain the exceptional reputation we have built. Our focus is on providing the best possible care and communication, rather than onboarding as many patients as possible.

Additionally, we often treat complex cases that require significant time and attention. For instance, 10% of our patients have had failed bariatric surgery. By limiting our patient intake, we can dedicate the necessary time and resources to help each patient achieve a healthy outcome. We are absolutely determined to provide the best possible results for all our patients.

We don't need to be the largest weight loss clinic in Australia, we instead strive to be the best.
