The objectives of this group session are to:

-understand what fatty liver is, and how it is diagnosed

-learn about risk factors that can lead to developing fatty liver

-understand how to optimize metabolic conditions to reduce the risk of complications from fatty liver

In this session, Dr. Lyon will review important principles that everyone on weight loss medications or those who are considering these in the future need to know.  Some of the topics discussed will include how to manage and minimize side effects, how to watch out for serious adverse effects, how to avoid muscle loss, and how to transition successfully when you come off these medications. 

This is the first session of the 4-week Busting Barriers module. Registering for Session 1 will secure you a spot for the rest of the module. 

This course focuses on troubleshooting common barriers to weight management. Each session will cover a different topic ranging from lack of motivation & difficulty with goal setting, to emotional eating, time management, and self-sabotage. Classes are designed to increase participants’ self-awareness regarding these issues, demonstrate their impact on behaviour change, and provide strategies/resources to help better manage these obstacles moving forward.
