In this 60 min group medical visit, our internal medicine specialist, Dr. Sylvie Galindo, will discuss anti-obesity medications and answer participant questions regarding this topic. Participants will be prompted to fill out a form during registration so they can submit questions and desired discussion points for the physician in advance. 

*Please note that these are smaller group medical visits and there are a limited number of spots. To keep things fair for other participants, please register only if you can commit to attending. If you register but neglect to show up, the $40 cancellation fee for a missed appointment will apply. 

For many of us, food plays a significant role in our holiday celebrations. Whether you are hosting or attending a holiday event, this session will provide you with some delicious meal ideas and healthier takes on some traditional holiday favourites. During the group we will discuss various strategies for planning meals that you and your guests can both enjoy, and at the same time, benefit from when it comes to their nutritional content. 

There are many misconceptions when it comes to obesity and weight management. In this session, Dr. Lyon will address some of this misleading information and provide a more comprehensive explanation of some of the physiological factors underlying this chronic disease, as well as evidence-based recommendations for treatment. Points of discussion will include: physiological drives of hunger, metabolic responses to weight loss, and reward systems in the brain that impact eating behaviours. Dietary and medical treatment interventions will also be discussed.
