Weight Management Service

Weight Management Service — Hillsborough, Auckland

Struggling to reach or maintain a healthy weight? You're not alone — and the good news is, you don't have to figure it out by yourself. At Corner Pharmacy on Dominion Road Extension, Hillsborough, our pharmacists offer personalised weight management support using a practical, step-by-step approach tailored to your lifestyle and goals.


Why Fad Diets Don't Work

Quick-fix diets and stop-start exercise programmes might promise fast results, but they rarely deliver lasting ones. The key to sustainable weight management is building healthy eating habits and consistent movement into your daily routine — not overhauling your life overnight.

Our approach is realistic, evidence-based, and focused on the long term — because that's where real health results happen.


What Is a Healthy Body Weight?

A common way to assess healthy weight is through your Body Mass Index (BMI) — calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in metres squared.

For example: if you weigh 62kg and are 1.6m tall, your BMI is 24.2 — which falls within the normal range of 18.5 to 24.9.

  • Under 18.5 — underweight
  • 18.5 – 24.9 — healthy weight
  • 25 – 29.9 — overweight
  • 30 and above — obese, with considerably increased health risks

Waist measurement is another useful indicator of health risk, particularly for cardiovascular and metabolic conditions.

Our team at Corner Pharmacy can:

  • Measure your BMI and waist circumference
  • Interpret your results and explain what they mean for your health
  • Help you set realistic, achievable weight loss goals
  • Put together a personalised healthy eating plan

  • Wants to lose weight safely and sustainably
