Research shows that regular interaction with a health professional and monitoring of weight is linked to greater weight loss and maintenance.
Patients with recent weight loss are at highest risk for weight re-gain. Interacting with the staff will ensure that you are on the right path for weight loss and if you start gaining weight, you will have a better chance of keeping this in check. The nurse practitioner will regularly check your blood pressure and heart to avoid any health risks associated with weight loss.
Obesity is a complex disease that develops from the interaction of metabolic, genetic, social, behavioral and cultural factors. This disease has significant impacts on the health, psychological well-being, longevity and quality of life of those affected. We provide an evidence-based program that focuses on long term weight management rather than just weight loss. Our program is built on scientific principles outlined in Canadian Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Obesity and the National Institutes of Health Clinical Guidelines on the Identification, Evaluation and Treatment of Overweight.
