Evoking Health Empowering Mind and Body to help people create and maintain new healthy habits for a healthier life I am also a BPS Accredited Clinical Supervisor.

Hello, I’m Dr Neesha Patel, and I am the Founder of Evoking Health. I am a Health Psychologist registered with the Health Care Professionals Council (HCPC) and a Chartered Psychologist registered with the British Psychological Society (BPS). I have over 15 years’ experience of working in the health psychology field, and with a range of diverse populations. Since qualifying in 2014, I have worked as a Lead Health Psychologist in an NHS Trust, a Clinical Lead in an NHS funded Specialist Adult Weight Management Services and provided guest lectures to masters students. I have experience of providing advice, support, education, and training to healthcare professionals on the psychological aspects of health behaviour change, in particular the management of diabetes both within the South Asian community and wider populations. I have featured on various media outlets (BBC 1 News, radio, and newspaper articles) and international conferences to talk about psychological aspects of health and wellbeing. I am an author of several peer-review journal articles and an author of a chapter in the new book Health Psychology in Clinical Practice. Despite revolutions and advances in scientific research today, people are still struggling to access the healthcare services and psychological support that they need to change their lifestyle behaviours and/or manage their health and wellbeing. Many people try to make changes independently or often with some support of a healthcare professional but usually once there is a diagnosis of a long-term health condition such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cholesterol and obesity. Evoking Health provides a bespoke holistic approach and integrates both the mind and body to fully understand people’s needs. My mission is to provide people with the psychological support they need to feel empowered to either live with a long-term health condition, and/or create healthy habits to live a healthy and fulfilling life and in doing so try to prevent the onset on of lifestyle conditions such as Type 2 diabetes and obesity. Please see my website for more information and to book an appointment.

This is why 👇

I’m Dr Neesha Patel, a Health Psychologist with a PhD in medicine with over 10+ years specialising in weight management (make sure to hit follow if this interests you: ) and I recently ran a poll where 60% of you said you would be happy to just stay on a low dose forever.
..and because this is something I see constantly, I want to talk about it honestly.

For some of you, weight loss medications have changed your life. After years of trying to lose weight, trying everything under the sun, finally you’ve found something that works.

So understandably, the idea of giving that up feels unbearable.

For others, it’s not even that things feel amazing. It’s fear of what happens if they stop, of the weight coming back and going through everything they’ve already been through... AGAIN.

But whichever it is, you choose to stay on a low dose.

Sometimes long after the original goal has been reached and after your prescriber has asked whether it’s still needed... and this is NOT a criticism of anyone doing this.

BUT if the only reason you are staying on medication is fear of what happens without it, that fear is telling you that the work that would make stopping feel safe has NOT happened yet.

The truth is, GLP1s can hold things in place. BUT taking a medication was never going to build the foundations that will help you SUSTAIN long term weight loss.

That’s the work that determines whether stopping feels like an option, rather than a risk.

If this sounds like you, I use this page to educate people on how they can use psychology to lay foundations that mean they can maintain their weight loss results and finally feel free from food, without GLP1s or any medication...

So make sure to hit FOLLOW or comment the word GUIDE to learn more.

If you’re on a GLP-1 and want to stay genuinely informed, not just on the psychology side but on what the research is actually finding, follow me 🩵 or comment the word GUIDE and I will send you my free guide on the psychological preparation that actually makes the difference.

Here’s what the research is actually telling us right now 👇

→ Regain without preparation is common, but “and more” isn’t inevitable, it’s what happens when nothing else changes alongside the medication.

→ These medications change appetite signalling, not effort, so “cheating” misunderstands the biology entirely.

→ The research base on long-term safety is growing fast and increasingly substantial.

→ And while some people do need to stay on GLP-1s long term, for many the plan was always weight loss followed by maintenance.

What all 4 of these miss is the same thing: The psychology.

Whether you maintain your results comes down to the work happening alongside the medication, not the medication alone.

I’ve put together a free guide that walks through exactly what that looks like, step by step. Comment GUIDE and I’ll send it over.

The first time I ran I hated almost every second of it.

I was slow, out of breath, stopped more times than I kept going, and I finished wondering why anyone would voluntarily do that to themselves.

The second time was not much better, nor the third.

There were so many moments where I almost talked myself out of going back. Where the voice in my head had a very convincing list of reasons why today was NOT the right day and tomorrow would be better.

But I kept going anyway.

Not because it felt good, but because I had decided I was going to keep going even when it did not.

And somewhere along the way, without me really noticing, it changed?

Now when I run I feel proud of myself.

Not because Im super fast. But because I show up for something that was hard at the beginning and I did not let the hard beginning be the whole story.
