MY TIMBER · FREE WEIGHT-LOSS SUPPORT FOR MEN

Free weight-loss support for men — before, during and after treatment.

My Timber is the practical bit that stays with you: food, movement, check-ins, Life Back and one useful next step. It is free, and it does not matter who prescribed your treatment — or whether you use medication at all.

No purchase needed. My Timber does not prescribe or replace clinical care.

Support should not disappear when the prescription changes

A prescription can start, stop or move to another provider. Your ordinary life carries on. My Timber is designed to keep the practical support in one place without pretending that an app should make medicine decisions for you.

You can use it while you are taking prescribed treatment, if you are between providers, after treatment has ended, or if medication is not part of your plan at all.

What you actually get

Today

One useful next step based on what you have already told My Timber, rather than another dashboard full of jobs.

Grub + Fit

Practical food and movement options for real weeks, with thousands of recipe and movement variations available inside My Timber.

Life Back

Keep sight of energy, confidence, movement, sleep and the everyday reasons you wanted to make a change in the first place.

Check-ins and “did it help?” feedback let My Timber adapt the next step. If something did not fit your week, the next step should get smaller. If it did not help, My Timber should change the approach rather than simply repeat it.

If your treatment came from somewhere else

You do not need to transfer a prescription to SHIFT to use My Timber. The practical support can sit alongside an existing prescriber, pharmacy, NHS route or another private service.

Your prescriber remains responsible for clinical assessment, prescribing, dose changes and medicine monitoring. My Timber keeps your own goals, routines and everyday support together.

Changing provider? · Clinic gone quiet?

If treatment has ended

My Timber includes a 12-week after-treatment starting pathway. It runs through the same Today spine rather than becoming another separate programme or dashboard.

The weeks cover appetite and food-thought patterns, ordinary meals, realistic movement, difficult days, Life Back, household food, headspace and the routines that genuinely helped. Support continues after week 12.

My Timber does not tell you to stop, restart, taper or change a prescription.

If you never take medication

You are not a second-class My Timber member. You can still use Today, Grub, Fit, check-ins, Life Back, Ask Timber and your saved Journey. The point is useful support, not steering everybody towards a prescription.

If you are exploring options, Start Here can help you understand the routes. If you only want the free support, open My Timber directly.

Questions men ask about My Timber

Is My Timber free?

Yes. My Timber is free to use and no medicine purchase is required.

Can I use My Timber if my treatment was prescribed somewhere else?

Yes. My Timber practical support is not tied to a particular prescriber or pharmacy. Your medicine decisions and clinical monitoring stay with the appropriate healthcare professional.

Do I need to take weight-loss medication to use My Timber?

No. My Timber can be used by men taking treatment, men considering their options, men who have stopped treatment and men who are not using medication.

Can I use My Timber after stopping Mounjaro or Wegovy?

Yes. My Timber includes a 12-week after-treatment starting pathway for everyday food, movement, appetite patterns, Life Back and headspace. It does not tell you to stop, restart or change a prescription.

Does My Timber tell me which medicine or dose to take?

No. My Timber does not prescribe and does not make dose, stopping, restarting or switching decisions. Those decisions belong with your prescriber or another appropriate healthcare professional.

What happens after the 12-week after-treatment pathway?

The 12 weeks are a starting structure, not an end point. My Timber remains available afterwards for Today, Grub, Fit, check-ins, Life Back and the rest of your saved journey.

Start with one useful thing

You do not need to fill in your life story before My Timber can help. The first experience starts with one useful question, then learns more only when it is relevant.
