A complete weight loss solution where you have unlimited one-on-one sessions with a team of doctors,

Much like telling someone that they should "buy low and sell high" to make money in the stock market, telling someone "eat less and exercise more" for weight loss has little value. Utilizing the latest research, our staff of health professionals work with you one-on-one to guide you using the most effective methods of weight management. We don't believe in "ideal" weights at BMI, or simple measurements like body fat percentages to tell us or you what you "should" weigh. Instead our focus is around the central theme of what we refer to as "Best Weight", which is whatever weight you reach living the healthiest life you can honestly and realistically enjoy. While undereating and overexercising certainly can lead to short term results born out of suffering, we believe you need to actually like the life you're living while you're losing the weight or else you're never going to keep it off. Simply put, there comes a point when a person can't happily eat less and can't happily exercise more and your weight living that life is what we call your Best Weight.

✨ 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 “𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬”? ✨

They’re those quick, budget-friendly meals like instant ramen or Kraft Dinner that many of us reach for when time, energy, or money are tight. The myth is that these meals are “bad” for you. The truth is, with a few simple tweaks, you can turn them into something balanced and nourishing. Here are two of our favourites...

👉 𝐑𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬
Tweak 1: Add a handful of frozen veggies like broccoli, peas, spinach or frozen stir-fry mix - whatever’s in the freezer! This will boost the fibre and add protective micronutrients that support good health in the long term.

Tweak 2: Amp up the protein. Toss in a couple soft boiled eggs, leftover chicken, tofu cubes or frozen edamame.

👉 𝐊𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫
Tweak 1: Mix in some frozen broccoli or cauliflower a couple minutes before draining the pasta.

Tweak 2: Stir in a big scoop of cottage cheese, a can of tuna, or some shredded rotisserie chicken to kick the protein up a notch.

✨ 𝑻𝒂-𝑫𝒂! ✨
Now both meals are chock full of fibre and protein - two nutrients that are guaranteed to keep you feeling full longer.

Struggle meals don’t have to mean struggling with nutrition. With a couple of budget-friendly add-ins, you can upgrade them into balanced, filling plates.

What’s your go-to way of upgrading a struggle meal? 👇

You’re working on a dull project or studying for hours, and suddenly the snack cupboard calls your name. Sometimes this is true hunger, but often it’s boredom, fatigue, or just needing a mental break. Here are some strategies to help:

🔎 Step 1: Pause and check in
Ask yourself: Am I physically hungry, or just restless?
- True hunger: stomach growling, low energy, irritability.
- Boredom hunger: craving something “fun,” or picking at food without thinking

👉 If it’s hunger → go for a balanced snack.
👉 If it’s boredom → try a reset first.

🥤Step 2: Hydrate or sip something different
Mild dehydration can mimic hunger. Before grabbing food, try:
- A glass of water or sparkling water
- Herbal tea (peppermint or fruity blends can be refreshing)
- Flavoured water (sliced cucumber, citrus, or berries)

These give your hands and mouth something to do while offering a change in taste.

💪 Step 3: Choose “steady energy” snacks when you are hungry
If your body really does need fuel, aim for protein + fibre to stay satisfied:
- Greek yogurt + berries
- Apple slices + cheese stick
- Roasted chickpeas or edamame
- Whole grain crackers + hummus
- Hard-boiled egg + baby carrots

🚶 Step 4: Quick non-food resets
If it’s more about stimulation than hunger, give your brain a reset:
- A 5–10 minute stretch or walk
- A short change of scenery (step outside, refill your water, tidy something small)
- Listening to a song or doing a “timer sprint” (work for 25 minutes, break for 5)
- Chewing sugar-free gum → keeps your mouth busy and may reduce the urge to nibble.

🌟 Bottom line
Boredom snacking is totally normal! The goal isn’t to avoid food at all costs, but to match the solution to the need:
- Hungry? → Fuel up with protein + fibre.
- Tired or bored? → Try hydration, movement, gum, or a reset break.

You’ll feel more satisfied, energized, and in control. 💡

Want to know the brain hack that makes healthy habits stick?

Research shows that our brains love routine - once a behaviour becomes linked to an existing habit, it takes less mental effort to keep it going. This is called habit stacking. By “stacking” a new, healthy behaviour onto something you already do automatically, you make it more likely to stick.

For example:
- After your drink your morning coffee, fill your water bottle.
- After clearing your dinner plate from the table, pack leftovers into a lunch container for the next day.
- After brushing your teeth, take your supplements.
- After you get home from the grocery store, wash and pre-cut veggies so they're ready to eat

Tiny, consistent steps build momentum and help engrain the habits that support health, without it feeling like a major overhaul. 🌱💪

What's one small habit that's improved your health?

Busy schedules mean packing lunches can feel like one more chore. Here’s a simple hack: let tonight’s dinner do the work for tomorrow’s lunch. It saves time, reduces food waste, and keeps meals nourishing and balanced.

Here are some easy ways to stretch dinner into lunch:

🍗 𝑅𝑜𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝐶ℎ𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑛 → 𝑊𝑟𝑎𝑝𝑠, 𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛 𝐵𝑜𝑤𝑙𝑠, 𝑜𝑟 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑑𝑠
Cook a few extra pieces at dinner. The next day, shred or slice them into a whole grain wrap with veggies, toss into a quinoa or rice bowl with roasted veggies, or top a big salad for protein that’s already prepped.

🍝 𝑃𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑎 𝑜𝑟 𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠 → 𝐶𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑑𝑠
Leftover pasta, brown rice, or farro makes a perfect base for a cold salad. Mix in chopped veggies, beans or chickpeas, a bit of cheese, and a quick vinaigrette for a satisfying, balanced lunch.

🥦 𝑅𝑜𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑉𝑒𝑔𝑔𝑖𝑒𝑠 → 𝑆𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑤𝑖𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠, 𝑄𝑢𝑒𝑠𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑠, 𝑜𝑟 𝐹𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑎𝑠
Make extra when you roast veggies at dinner—you’ll thank yourself later. Tuck them into a sandwich or wrap with hummus, melt them with cheese in a quesadilla, or fold them into a quick egg frittata for an easy lunchbox option.

👉 Pro tip: When you cook dinner, intentionally make a little extra grain, protein, or roasted veg. Pack it into containers right away, and tomorrow’s lunch is already halfway done.

Double-duty dinners aren’t just a time-saver—they’re a way to keep lunches balanced, affordable, and delicious, while cutting down on food waste.

Let’s talk about detox teas - that little bag of leaves that’s supposed to magically ‘cleanse’ your body. Here’s the truth: our bodies already have a detox system. It’s called our liver and kidneys. And the best part? They work 24/7, no shipping fee required. Most detox teas are just expensive laxatives. So yes, you might feel lighter but that’s just water loss, not toxins leaving your body. So save your money, trust your body, and if you really want to detox? Maybe switch off social media and get some sleep 😉

🧈 Butter vs. Margarine: What’s actually better for heart health? 💛

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟏: “𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 = 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐭 = 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫.”
Fact: In Canada, adding partially hydrogenated oils (industrial trans fat) to foods has been banned since Sept 2018. Most soft, non-hydrogenated spreads are now trans-fat–free—always check the label.

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟐: “𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥, 𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭-𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲.”
Fact: Butter is high in saturated fat, which raises LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. Major heart organizations recommend limiting saturated fat, and replacing it with unsaturated fats (from plant oils/soft spreads), which lowers cardiovascular risk.

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟑: “𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞.”
Fact: Soft/tub or liquid spreads (canola/olive/sunflower blends) generally have more unsaturated fat than stick/hard types. Choose non-hydrogenated varieties.

Bonus: Some spreads are plant-sterol–enriched, which can lower LDL by ~8–10% at ~2 g/day

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 (𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐬𝐞) 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝:
👉Pick soft, non-hydrogenated spreads; scan ingredients for “partially hydrogenated oils” and avoid.
👉If you love butter, use small amounts and build meals around vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fish, and plant oils.

Between school pick-up, practices, and after-school activities, snacks often happen in the car. Having a few protein + fibre-packed options on hand can help kids stay fueled and focused (and avoid "hanger").

Here are some grab-and-go ideas to put together:
🧀 Cheese sticks + apple slices
🥜 Roasted chickpeas or mixed nuts
🥕 Mini pita pockets or veggies with hummus
🥚 Whole grain crackers with a hard-boiled egg or nut butter
🍌 Banana with a small pack of pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds

👉 The combo of protein + fibre keeps energy steady and tummies satisfied until dinner.

Table Topics - A way to keep kids at the table longer!

Keeping little ones at the dinner table can be a challenge. Using table topics at dinner is a fantastic way to keep kids engaged, encourage meaningful conversation, and even get them to linger a little longer at the table.

🗣️ 1. Make It a Game
Turn questions into a fun challenge—each person picks a card or question and answers it. You can even rotate who gets to be the “question master” each night.

🙃 2. Ask Open-Ended & Silly Questions
Skip the “How was your day?” and go for imaginative prompts like:
- “Would you rather be a tiny elephant or a giant hamster?”
- “If you had a million dollars, what would you buy first?”
These spark creativity and laughter, which keeps kids talking longer.

✏ 3. Get kids involved in question making
Turn it into a family activity and write the table topics together. This can gain buy in from your kids, as well as provide a sense of pride when their question is pulled.

How do you keep your kids at the dinner table? Leave us a comment below!

𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐮: save this for the next time you're feeling unsure about interpreting a menu!🥗🍴

Did you know the cooking method listed on a menu can give you clues about flavour, texture, and nutrition?

🔥 𝐺𝑟𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑑 – Smoky flavour, often with less added fat. Watch for heavy sauces or lots of charring.
🥘 𝑆𝑎𝑢𝑡𝑒́𝑒𝑑 / 𝑃𝑎𝑛-𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 – Quick cooking in oil or butter; lighter or richer depending on how much fat is used.
🍲𝑆𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑑 – Gentle cooking in steam; light, preserves many nutrients, and keeps veggies vibrant.
🥩 𝑅𝑜𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑑 / 𝐵𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑑 – Dry heat; brings out sweetness in veggies and tenderness in proteins. Usually lighter than frying.
🍤 𝐹𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 / 𝐷𝑒𝑒𝑝-𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 / 𝑇𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑢𝑟𝑎 – Crisp and tasty, but higher in added fat.
🥗 𝐹𝑟𝑒𝑠ℎ / 𝑅𝑎𝑤 / 𝐶𝑟𝑢𝑑𝑜 – Bright, crisp textures and minimal processing; great for produce and some seafood.

✨ 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭:

𝑃𝑜𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑑 – Traditionally means simmered in water or broth (light option), but sometimes refers to cooking in oil (*olive oil–poached salmon*, for example). Ask if unsure.
𝐵𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 – Slow-cooked in liquid, often results in tender meats and rich sauces. Can be hearty, especially with added fats.
𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑡 – Meat (often duck) slow-cooked in its own fat. Flavourful but higher in fat.
𝐴𝑢 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛 – Topped with cheese and/or cream, then baked until golden. Rich and indulgent.
𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 / 𝑆𝑚𝑜𝑘𝑒𝑑 – Preserved for flavour; often higher in sodium.
𝐶𝑎𝑟𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑖𝑜 / 𝑇𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑒 – Raw, thinly sliced or finely chopped meat or fish, served with seasoning.

👉 Tip: Words like grilled, roasted, baked, steamed, or poached in broth often mean a lighter option, while terms like fried, confit, au gratin, or braised in cream signal something richer.

Decoding the menu helps you choose what feels best for your body—while still enjoying the flavours you love. 🌟

Our Story

Created out of frustration from seeing the weight of patients yo-yo, our program was designed after careful study of scientific, peer reviewed studies that looked not only at how individuals lost their weight, but also how they kept it off for five years or more.

We don't believe in "ideal" weights at BMI, or simple measurements like body fat percentages to tell us or you what you "should" weigh. Instead our focus is around the central theme of what we refer to as "Best Weight", which is whatever weight you reach living the healthiest life you can honestly and realistically enjoy. While undereating and overexercising certainly can lead to short term results born out of suffering, we believe you need to actually like the life you're living while you're losing the weight or else you're never going to keep it off. Simply put, there comes a point when a person can't happily eat less and can't happily exercise more and your weight living that life is what we call your Best Weight.

Of course, as with anything complicated in life, there are proven strategies that greatly improve your odds of success. Over the course of our four phased program you'll learn how to use food to control it, rather than letting it control you. You'll learn to shut down your most powerful cravings, make friends with the all-powerful scale, how to indulge in previously forbidden foods, and that exercise isn't about how many calories you burn, but rather how much fun you can have burning them. Most importantly you'll learn that successful weight management isn't about suffering, but about organization and thinking
