Frequently Asked Questions
What is MyWeightChoices?
MyWeightChoices is an independent informational website that helps UK consumers research and compare private weight-management services. We are a publisher — we do not sell treatments, prescribe medication, or provide personal medical advice.
Do you rank providers?
No. We do not rank providers or use language like "best" or "top". We present factual information against a transparent evaluation rubric so you can make your own comparison.
Do you sell medicines?
No. We do not sell, supply, or recommend specific prescription medicines. Our focus is on service design, costs, and governance — not on which medicine a provider prescribes.
How do you make money?
We may earn revenue through affiliate (referral) links and clearly labelled sponsored placements. Commercial relationships never influence our editorial content or evaluations. Full details are on our How We Make Money page.
Do you store my health data?
No. Our eligibility orientation tool processes your inputs entirely in your browser. We do not store, transmit, or log the health-related data you enter there. If you separately sign up for updates, we do store your email address for that purpose.
Is this medical advice?
No. Everything on this site is general information only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your individual circumstances.
Who writes your content?
Our content is written by the founding team and reviewed against current regulatory guidance. See our Editorial Policy and About pages for more detail on our background and processes.
Can I suggest a provider to be evaluated?
Yes. Visit the Providers page and use the "Suggest a provider" form. We review all suggestions but cannot guarantee every provider will be included.
How often is the site updated?
We review our content regularly and update it when regulations, guidelines, or provider information changes. Each page shows a "Last reviewed" date.
How can I report inaccurate information?
We take accuracy seriously. If you spot an error, please contact us using the email on our About page and we will investigate promptly.
Still have questions?
If your question is about a specific medical condition or treatment, please speak with your GP or a qualified healthcare professional. For questions about this website, see our About page for contact details.
