Weight Loss
We take a medical approach to your weight loss, which means we will start with a medical history and blood work. This will identify possible reasons for weight gain, such as a thyroid problem or male/ female hormone imbalances, and also clarify if there are any medication choices that won't be right for you. The medication chosen for your weight loss program will be based on your eating habits (i.e. are you a carb lover or a meat eater), your eating patterns (i.e. are you an all-day-snacker or dinnertime heavy loader), and medical indications and contraindications (i.e. we'll avoid stimulants in cases of heart conditions/ arrhythmias). The frequency and duration of your weight loss program will be decided together and will depend on how aggressive you want to be with the approach and your weight loss goals.
