About Our Clinic
Medical Weight Loss and Management through Motivation
Weight management challenges are as much psychological as they are physical.
Obesity continues to be on the rise worldwide. We help to manage this complex, chronic medical condition resulting in improved health and improved quality of life.
Our clinic has been providing effective physician supervised weight management solutions to our patients since 1988.
Our comprehensive, multi-faceted program has been designed to focus on the Pillars of Care established by the Canadian Clinical Practice Guidelines for Weight Management. This includes Medical Nutrition therapy with individualized menu plans, an activity plan and an effective motivation and behaviour program which includes weekly one-on-one medical nutrition and psychological counselling. When appropriate, weight loss medication and referrals for bariatric surgery are available.
Medical Nutrition Therapy
This is the foundation for weight management. Our program provides personalized plans that focus on the healthy food choices and evidence based nutrition therapy.
Psychology and Behaviour
Our Motivation Program addresses the psychological and behavioural aspects of weight management. These are keys to long term success.
Medication
Weight loss medication can be a safe and effective part of the treatment plan for weight loss and weight maintenance.
Bariatric Surgery
While we are not a surgical clinic, there are surgical procedures that can be used as a tool for weight management and can be discussed as options for referral. Our doctor also performs adjustments for gastric lap bands.
Often guilt, shame and embarrassment go hand in hand with weight management struggles and our sympathetic, understanding and non-judgemental approach will ease these concerns.
With our help, we will make a good team and you will succeed!!
