Do I need a doctor’s referral?No. While some clients have been referred by their doctor, it is not necessary.

What makes your method different than others?Truly, any method of weight loss can be effective, but there is a necessity to individualize food intake and monitor it long-term. By meeting with people one-on-one and we can ensure that the plan meets their specific needs and lifestyle. We do not have group meetings and your doctor’s visit is covered by Alberta Health Care.

What defines success?Simply stated, success is short-term weight loss and long-term weight maintenance. Maintenance of goal weight beyond two years is important in order to prevent the so-called yo-yo effect of off and on dieting.

Can your clinic help someone who has been on many diets and failed?Yes, we believe so. Our approach is to monitor people, work with them, adapt and modify care whenever necessary. We also use tools to allow someone to […]

Have you tried diet after diet with little to no success?

Do you feel like you have tried everything and still just cannot lose the weight?

Every year, especially in the summer, fad diets or summer diet hacks pop up in magazines and online that promise you’ll lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time.

Our doctor owned and operated clinic can help you achieve YOUR weight loss goals and our team of experienced professionals can formulate a plan that will work specifically for you.

When the following four factors are combined, you will substantially increase your chances of losing weight and keeping the weight off.

With winter fast approaching and with a long season ahead of us, hair removal might not be on the top of your mind. But while you’re bundling up and hiding under layers of blankets, you should be thinking about laser hair removal.

That’s right, winter is the ideal time for laser hair removal

While each situation varies, laser hair removal can requires several sessions to complete an area. What this means is that several appointments may be necessary to catch all the hairs.  This can take place over a couple months, so starting in the winter ensures that you will be ready by the next summer.

As the temperature heats up, our minds turn to bikini season and laser hair removal. Salons get booked up in no time with people hoping to get their laser hair removal done in short order meaning you might not get the appointment times you want. Lower appointment volume in […]
