Justin Black, Nurse Practitioner
Founder & Clinical Director, Downscale Weight Loss Clinic
Justin Black is an endorsed Nurse Practitioner registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (AHPRA) and the founder of Downscale, an Australia-wide online weight loss clinic. He has more than 25 years of clinical experience and leads Downscale's team of Nurse Practitioners.
Clinical approach
Justin treats obesity as what it is — a chronic, relapsing neuro-endocrine metabolic condition, not a failure of willpower. His care is evidence-based and centred on the whole person, not just the scale, with no bias and no stigma. The goal is to help patients lose weight safely and, just as importantly, sustain it.
Areas of focus
- •Medical weight management
- •Obesity as a chronic metabolic condition
- •Metabolic and hormonal health
- •Menopause, perimenopause and PMOS (formerly PCOS)
- •Sleep, mood and wellbeing within scope of practice
- •Australia-wide telehealth care
