Sustainable weight loss under the guidance of experienced doctors
Do you want to lose weight effectively and are you looking for professional medical guidance? At Xavier Clinics in Amsterdam, we offer medical weight loss programs that combine lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, and, if medically indicated, weight loss medication for long-lasting results.
Our goal is not only weight loss, but above all a healthier body, a lower risk of health problems, and a sustainable long-term result.
During a comprehensive consultation, a BIG-registered physician assesses which treatment best suits your medical situation, personal goals, and health.
Why choose medical weight loss?
Many people have tried various diets for years without lasting results. Often, a yo-yo effect occurs, where lost weight returns.
Medical weight management focuses not only on calorie restriction, but also on the biological processes that influence:
- Feeling of hunger
- Saturation
- Blood sugar regulation
- Fat storage
- Energy consumption
- Eating habits
By supporting these factors, many people can better achieve and maintain their weight goals.
For whom is medical waste treatment suitable?
You may be eligible if:
- Your BMI is 30 or higher;
- Your BMI is 27 or higher in combination with weight-related conditions;
- You experience long-term overweight;
- Previous weight loss attempts have yielded insufficient results;
- You desire guidance from medical professionals.
Final suitability is always determined during a medical intake.
Which weight loss medication does Xavier Clinics offer?
Depending on your medical situation, our doctor can discuss various treatment options.
Mounjaro (tirzepatide)
Mounjaro is currently one of the most effective medical treatments for weight loss.
Mounjaro acts on both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors and can help with:
- Decrease in appetite
- Less hunger between meals
- Faster satiety
- Weight loss support
- Improvement of blood sugar regulation
Mounjaro is administered once a week by injection.
Wegovy (semaglutide)
Wegovy contains semaglutide and belongs to the GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Possible benefits:
- Reduced appetite
- Less need for snacks
- Longer satiety
- Support for healthy weight loss
Wegovy is injected once a week.
Ozempic (semaglutide)
Ozempic contains semaglutide, the same active ingredient that is also used in Wegovy.
Ozempic was originally developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but is also known for its effect on weight loss and appetite regulation.
Possible effects of Ozempic are:
- Reduction of appetite;
- Feeling full faster during meals;
- Less need for snacks;
- Support for weight loss;
- Improvement of blood sugar regulation.
Ozempic is administered once a week by injection.
During a consultation, the doctor assesses which treatment best suits your medical situation, health, and weight goals.
What is the difference between Ozempic and Wegovy?
Ozempic and Wegovy both contain semaglutide as the active ingredient.
The main difference is that Wegovy is specifically registered for chronic weight management, while Ozempic is registered for type 2 diabetes.
During your consultation, the doctor will discuss which treatment is medically most appropriate.

Saxenda (liraglutide)
Saxenda contains liraglutide and is also a GLP-1 receptor agonist.
Saxenda can help with:
- Reduction of feelings of hunger
- More control over eating behavior
- Reduction of calorie intake
- Weight loss support
Unlike Wegovy and Mounjaro, Saxenda is administered daily.
For some clients, Saxenda is a suitable choice when daily treatment aligns better with their medical situation.
What are GLP-1 medicines?
GLP-1 stands for Glucagon-Like Peptide-1.
This is a hormone that occurs naturally in the body and is involved in:
- Regulation of appetite
- Feeling of satiety
- Blood sugar level
- Gastric emptying
GLP-1 medication mimics the action of this natural hormone, causing clients to often experience less hunger and make healthy food choices more easily.
