Your weight isn't a
willpower problem.
It's a medical conversation.
12 private questions. 3 minutes. Find out if doctor-guided medical weight care is an option for you.
For adults 18 and over.
ThinQ is iScript Health's practitioner-led weight health programme — built around clinical intelligence, not crash diets.
Start the ThinQ checkBefore you book anything
Find out where you stand
before you pay anyone.
Twelve questions about your weight history, your health, your sleep and what you have already tried. At the end you see which tier your answers put you in — and the three things worth raising first — so the consultation starts from your actual picture.
Private while you answer, and you can stop at any point.
Start the free ThinQ checkWhat you get at the end
Your ThinQ weight health result
An indication of which kind of care fits your picture — decided properly with a practitioner, never by the check alone.
Example tier
Three things to discuss with your doctor
- Your weight history — what you have tried, what held for a while, and what happened after
- What else is in play: sleep, stress, blood pressure, blood sugar, thyroid, anything you already take
- Which tests are worth doing before anything at all is decided
An HPCSA-registered practitioner reads your result before your consultation.
Example only. Your own result is generated from your own answers.
Your result is a screening indication, not a diagnosis. It is reviewed by an HPCSA-registered practitioner, and any diagnosis or treatment is decided with you in a consultation. This is not an emergency service — in an emergency call 10177, or 112 from a mobile. Your answers are processed under POPIA with your consent, and are never shared without it.
Medical Aid
Your medical aid may cover more than you think.
Many South African medical aid plans include benefits for chronic disease management, metabolic assessment, and specialist consultations — categories that can apply to weight health care.
Consultation fees are often claimable from medical aid where your plan allows; we check in real time when you book. Decisions about any treatment rest with the consulting practitioner.
iScript helps you understand your eligibility and navigate what your plan covers. Our team can assist with benefit queries and documentation.
* Eligibility varies by plan and benefit year. Consult your scheme for confirmation.
Who ThinQ is for
Built for South Africans who are ready for a real conversation about weight.
Tried everything
You've tried diets, shakes, gym — and nothing has stuck. You want a medical approach.
Want a doctor's input
You want a qualified HPCSA-registered practitioner to assess your full health picture.
Value privacy
You prefer consulting from home, without waiting rooms or judgment.
Short on time
You need an efficient, online-first approach that fits your schedule.
Open to medication
You're open to medication if a clinician judges it appropriate — but want to decide with your doctor.
Want ongoing support
You want monitoring, follow-up, and a plan that adapts to your progress.
The science says otherwise
Weight is biology.
Not character.
Decades of research confirm that weight regulation is governed by hormones, genetics, gut microbiome, sleep, stress, and metabolic history — not how hard you try.
Most people struggling with weight have never had a proper clinical assessment. They've had diets. They've had advice. But not a real medical conversation.
That conversation is what ThinQ is built around.
A proper assessment comes first
Most people who have struggled with their weight for years have never had their metabolic health actually looked at. The check is where that starts.

Step 03
Your Personalised Plan
Personalised
A medically tailored plan — which may or may not include medication — based on your specific biology, lifestyle, and goals.
Clinical honesty
Realistic expectations
Weight health care is measured in months, not weeks, and progress is not a straight line. Your practitioner sets goals personal to your biology and reviews them with you as you go. We do not guarantee outcomes, and anybody who does is not being straight with you.
Treatment, honestly
What treatment might involve
After your assessment and consultation, your practitioner discusses options with you. These may include nutrition and activity planning, addressing sleep, stress or underlying conditions, and, only where clinically indicated and appropriate for you, prescription treatment. Any prescription is issued by an HPCSA-registered doctor and sent to the pharmacy you choose. We do not discuss specific medicines on this website.

"Weight is not a character flaw. It is a clinical condition deserving of a clinical solution."
— ThinQ by iScript Health
Practitioner-led. Evidence-based.
We don't prescribe. We assess.
Then we decide together.
HPCSA Registered
SA Medical Practitioners
ThinQ is a practitioner-led weight health programme. Every patient is assessed individually. No templates. No one-size-fits-all pathways.
Our care team will not prescribe anything until they have a clear clinical picture — your full medical history, current medications, chronic conditions, and lifestyle factors.
Sometimes the right intervention is medication. Sometimes it isn't. That decision belongs to your doctor — not to an algorithm.
