a 6 Month Obesity Program
by Medicalux Private Care
Helping you take charge of your health
In NB, 35.3% of the adult population is living with obesity. Yet many of them are unaware that obesity is considered a chronic disease or that our weight is mostly determined by our genetics. Instead, most still believe that being overweight is a choice and is preventable. This misconception leads to weight stigma and prevents this population from getting the quality care and treatment they need for their chronic disease. We’ve built an obesity program with the goal to equip participants with the confidence and assurance that they can take charge of their health and thrive while living in a larger body.
Our exclusive program is based on the Obesity Canada Guidelines and is different from harmful fad diets available on the market. Led by our Registered Dietitian, Your Best Weight aims to teach participants about goal setting, the concept of resilience, meal planning, values, plateau and more. We put emphasis on improving your quality of life, not on the number on the scale.
What you can expect from the program:
- 6 month program with frequent follow ups, bi-weekly for the first 3 months and then monthly.
