At Morelife, we empower individuals on their health journeys by using a scientifically backed approach.
We co-create our programmes with the individuals who use them so our programmes are both expert led and client led.

Born out of Leeds Beckett University in 1999 as Carnegie Weight Management. Morelife has its origins in data, research and science.
Founded by Professor Paul Gately, a visiting Professor at Leeds Beckett University and one of the UK’s most respected experts in obesity and exercise, Morelife initially took to tackling obesity in children, expanding our service to adults, young people and families.
We have continued to evolve and have branched out to other lifestyle-related support services (smoking cessation, physical activity, healthy eating, alcohol reduction, falls prevention).
Our mission at Morelife is to make healthcare accessible to everyone,
striving to bridge health disparities and empower individuals to lead their healthiest lives.
We take the time to listen to the needs of individuals and communities and tailor our programmes to meet those needs.
Each client is different, so we provide a tailored experience for everyone – this is how we empower clients to achieve amazing results.
Whether our clients are riding high or at their lowest point, we show kindness, compassion and respect.
We’re all about results, and that means we expect the best of ourselves, our colleagues and our clients.
We’re here to help improve long-term health. We do not make judgements, and we understand our clients, whatever their circumstances.
We know our subject and trust our processes because of the lessons we learn from our clients.
