Your weight isn't a
willpower problem.
It's a medical conversation.
Speak to an HPCSA-registered South African doctor online. Start with a free 3-minute health check — no queues, no judgment.
For adults 18 and over.
ThinQ is iScript Health's practitioner-led weight health programme — built around clinical intelligence, not crash diets.
Start ThinQMedical 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.
94%
of ThinQ patients had never received a metabolic assessment before their first consultation.
The ThinQ Process
How ThinQ works
Step 01
Free Health Check
3 minutes · Free
Answer a short set of medical questions about your health history, goals, and current challenges. Completely confidential.
Step 02
Doctor Consult
From R299 · Online
An HPCSA-registered South African doctor reviews your case and conducts a full clinical assessment via secure video or chat.
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
Most ThinQ patients in clinically supported care see measurable progress over 3–6 months. Your doctor sets goals personal to your biology. We never guarantee outcomes.
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.
