Commercial weight loss programs may lead to temporary weight loss via restrictive measures that are not supported by the current scientific evidence or the Canadian Obesity Guidelines 2020. We use an evidence based approach to medically manage overweight and obesity. This includes investigating individual causes and contributors to obesity, nutritional treatment, lifestyle & behavioral management, pharmacotherapy and if indicated, a referral for metabolic surgery.

The program offers an initial information and education session, followed by individual physician visits from there on. Evidence shows that regular, long term follow up is key to success in weight loss and maintenance.
