MedExpress offer a number of different treatment options. All treatments are licensed by the MHRA (UK regulator) and designed to conveniently fit your lifestyle.
Juniper USED to be one of the most expensive, but following the market shake up – are now one of the most affordable and reliable options. They offer a good level of support and longer maintenance plans. You get free bluetooth scales with your first purchase, and lifetime access to their app full of health and fitness inspo!
The main thing I’ll mention about Juniper is you need to pay upfront, THEN do the consultation. I understand this can be quite daunting if you’re not sure whether you’re eligible or not – particularly as it’s a large upfront cost.
However, it took me no longer than 5 minutes – the consultation form itself was really quick and easy. Part of their process requires that you send a picture of your stomach (no clothes) so I did need to go find a mirror to do that. After that your application is reviewed usually within a few days.
I live in Scotland, and Juniper delivered to me using DPD. However, this might have been because the first month’s box is huge!
You don’t just get the medication and peripherals (needles, swabs, sharps box) but also a branded tape measure and set of Bluetooth scales.
The app is probably their main selling point. There’s comprehensive how-to guides and details of what to expect, recorded by one of their pharmacists. You also fill out a questionnaire at the start as to your current knowledge on exercise and diet, which then gives you a level/grade, and suggests plans for upskilling.
For me personally, I found the exercise questions to be a little patronising. They’re heavily weight lifting focused, whereas I’m a swimmer, kayaker, and want to lose weight to get back into adventure sports. Because of this, it assumed I knew next to nothing about exercise – simply because I prefer not to focus on weight lifting.
You don’t have to manually re-order as it’s a subscription service, so they just take the payment automatically every 4 weeks. The payment schedule is available to view in your online account, and you can pause the subscription if you’d like. You can also get a healthy discount off your next purchase if you refer a friend!
