Modern medical treatment to power lasting weight loss

Your practitioner will assess your individual needs and health goals to recommend the most suitable treatment for you. This decision will be based on your medical history and current health status. 
This personalised approach ensures that your treatment plan is both effective and tailored to your unique requirements.

We’re committed to transparency and know you want clear answers. While we’d love to share more details upfront, Australian regulations prevent us from naming specific treatments outside a consultation with a registered healthcare professional.
During your consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your options and get answers to any questions you may have.

The treatments available through Pilot are widely used and generally well tolerated, with minimal side effects, most commonly mild nausea for some patients.

Your Pilot 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.

The most commonly reported side effects in Pilot’s weight loss program include nausea, diarrhoea, and constipation. However, these typically subside over time as your body adjusts to the treatment.

The cost of this program — including treatment, health practitioner support, and ongoing behavioural coaching — depends on your plan and starts at $399 per month. Your practitioner will recommend the right option based on your needs.

Pilot isn’t just another weight loss program. it’s a science-backed, personalised program that offers incredible value for the care and support you receive. Here’s everything that’s included and why it’s designed to help you succeed long-term.

Everything included in the Pilot program — at no extra cost


• Unlimited access to your care team
  ‍
  Have a question about your treatment or progress? Message our team anytime — no appointments, no wait times. Typically, seeing a doctor would cost you $40-150 per 15-minute visit, and input from a nurse is often only available in hospital settings. With Juniper, it’s all included at no extra cost.
• Proven medical treatment
  ‍
  This treatment addresses the biological drivers of weight gain, making it far more effective than diet and exercise alone. It helps reduce hunger, enhance satiety, minimise food noise, and support sustainable weight loss — potentially saving you ~$100 per week on food.

  Get expert health advice whenever you need it, providing guidance on meal planning, navigating dietary restrictions, and more. Health coach consultations typically cost $100–$300 per session, require time off work, and may not fit your schedule. With Pilot, you can access this expertise from the comfort of home.

It is important to remember weight loss is a gradual process, and results will differ for each individual. Sleep quality, diet, exercise routines, and water intake can all influence how quickly you see changes. Pilot’s dietitians, medical support team, and in-app program will support you in making these changes.

Studies show that medical treatment alone can lead to a 10-20% reduction in body weight over 68-72 weeks, with one of Pilot’s recommended options resulting in an average weight loss of over 14%.

The treatment options offered by Pilot are highly effective, but individual weight loss journeys vary. Some patients may notice significant changes within the first few weeks, while others may experience more gradual, steady progress.

Patients using Pilot’s weight loss treatments may experience both fat and muscle loss. While some muscle loss is a natural part of weight loss, some individuals worry that these treatments may increase that risk.

The good news? These treatments don’t appear to cause more muscle loss than traditional dieting, and there are steps you can take to maintain muscle mass and strength while losing weight. We strongly recommend incorporating resistance training and increasing protein intake to support muscle retention. Your body still needs proper fuel, and with the right nutrition, you can sustain your fitness efforts throughout treatment.

These medical interventions are a tool, not a replacement for healthy habits. A balanced diet and regular exercise are essential for preserving muscle, staying strong, and achieving long-term results. That’s why we offer on-demand health coaching, giving you access to dietitians and nutritionists who can help you build sustainable habits and achieve healthy weight loss.

You don’t have to stay on weight loss treatment for life, and long-term use appears to be safe. These treatments have been designed for lifelong use in diabetic patients, with decades of safety data to support them. However, they are not a lifelong requirement for weight management.

Our goal is to help you achieve sustainable, long-term results. The duration of treatment is highly individual and depends on your goals, lifestyle, medical history, and how well you tolerate treatment.

Your practitioner will work closely with you to develop a personalised plan, including strategies to help you maintain your progress if and when you decide to stop treatment.

Pilot can be suitable for weight loss following pregnancy, but it depends on your individual circumstances. If you're breastfeeding, some weight loss treatments may not be recommended.
