Are you among the 25% of UK adults living with obesity? Don't let the myths and misconceptions hold you back from achieving a healthier life
The truth about obesity
Contrary to popular belief, obesity is not merely a lifestyle choice or a result of laziness. Healthcare professionals worldwide recognise obesity as a disease – an abnormal condition that negatively impacts bodily functions and overall health.
The reality
Maintaining weight loss is often the biggest challenge, as 45% of people find it hard to stay motivated to eat well and exercise daily. Additionally, 39% struggle to make healthy choices while juggling work and family life.
But did you know that even modest weight loss can significantly improve depression, mobility, blood sugar levels, fertility, and more?
Common myths
Respondents believe being obese is a lifestyle choice and not a disease
Respondents believe obesity is solely caused by eating too much
Respondents believe you must lose a lot of weight to make a difference to your health
Real patients. Real results.
Read about Erica Bergsmeds, a Yazen patient whose quality of life has been transformed through our service.
“My BMI was too high which combined with high cholesterol made me feel very depressed. I tried every diet on the planet over the years but nothing worked. I joined Yazen as I felt it was a trustworthy brand and it’s been so easy and great that it makes me feel emotional. It’s given me a whole new outlook on life, dieting and self-confidence, that you don't need to suffer in silence or pretend you are happy when you are not. I found that it has given me a stable life not just a stable weight. Not having food on my mind 24/7 has been the biggest relief and allows more time for more important things!”

Frequently asked questions
Below we list the most frequently asked questions about our service. If you have other questions or concerns, please contact us and we will help you.
We prescribe the very latest weight loss injections (known as GLP-1). Prescriptions are based on individual assessment to determine the best treatment.
When you stop taking the injection, the results can be reversed meaning you have to start your weight loss journey again. However, it’s not dangerous to stop taking the medication and start again if you notice that you begin to gain weight.
With lifestyle changes including diet and exercise, some patients may achieve an energy balance after reaching a healthy weight and not need to go back on the medication. Yazen offers a loyalty pricing plan for those who choose to commit long term.
Weight loss injections are recommended for people with a BMI of 30+ or 27+ with certain pre existing medical conditions including high blood pressure, elevated blood lipids, elevated blood sugar, atherosclerosis and sleep apnea syndrome.
The medications can also be used to maintain weight loss achieved through dieting or weight loss surgery.
Because it is the body's own hormone that is used, which has only been modified to slow down its breakdown, the side effects are few and mild. In the larger studies that have been conducted, the side effects are relatively similar between test groups taking placebo and test groups taking medicine. Side effects are most common at the beginning of treatment, which is why the initial dose is low and increased slowly.
You may experience nausea, gas, and diarrhoea, mild gastritis, or constipation, but with the support of a dietitian, most symptoms can usually be avoided.
Patients testimonials

Great people and great results
Agile app & communication. All doctors have some form of "interest" in obesity, which means that you get a doctor who is knowledgeable and involved in obesity. Compared to regular care. That just says you need to move more.
The experience so far has been great! A lot of support from different experts, especially the doctor and the trainer :)
Everything has gone very quickly & smoothly. Good effect of the product, feel much less hunger & lost 5 kg in 4 weeks. Very nice doctors & coaches who respond quickly & explain in a way that is easy to understand.
I had a great experience speaking with the doctors on Yazen. They responded very helpfully to all my questions and concerns. The results of the testing came quickly and everything was really efficient. I would recommend this service.
