Are you in need of hitting the reset button? This group is specifically designed for individuals who are looking for support in getting back on track with their health goals. Too often, our progress gets derailed when we beat ourselves up over a lapse with unhealthy behaviours and procrastinate moving forward. In this session, we will provide the opportunity to gain insight from previous lapses, practice self-compassion, and develop a come back plan for moving forward. Everyone loves a good comeback story and this is a great chance to call a timeout as you get ready to write the next chapter on your weight management journey.

This session is facilitated by internist, Dr. Sylvie Galindo. Obesity is a progressive, relapsing, chronic, medical disease that requires ongoing evaluation and treatment like any other chronic disease. In this group, we will discuss other interventions for obesity management beyond long-term lifestyle changes (diet, physical activity, and mental wellness). The physician will review medical interventions (pharmacotherapy/medications and bariatric surgery) and when they might be necessary for a patient to consider and possibly undergo. Medical and surgical interventions do not take the place of lifestyle intervention, but they do provide a patient with additional support for the management of their obesity. Even if you do not wish to consider medication or surgery for weight loss, it is important that you are fully aware of the most up to date options to assist with the management of serious weight problems. This group is mandatory for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 40, or BMI over 35 with at least one obesity-related health condition, and you will receive an e-mail if you have not yet been told about these interventions.
We will introduce you to the MWM Structured Meal Plan that we offer for those patients who wish to try it. Research has shown that some modest weight loss at the beginning of a weight management program can be motivational and help build confidence. This diet is meant to be followed for about 3 to 6 months and in the meantime, patients are coming to the group medical visits and are working on the long-term, dietary changes that they can sustain and enjoy.
Too often, life can get increasingly busy and we spend more time caught up in our heads than being present in the moment. Not only does this add to our stress and decrease our energy, but it also deprives us of the joy of being present in our lives. In this session, we will talk about the concepts of joyful and kind attention as a way to decrease our stress, better manage distractions, and enhance our quality of life.

Sometimes take-out happens. We probably all have experienced those nights where we hadn't meal prepped or grocery shopped, were feeling tired, or maybe just had a craving. This session is designed to help us stay on track when life gets busy and we have to/ or just opt to order out. During the group we will discuss strategies for making healthier food choices when ordering fast food or dining out so that these events don't derail your progress with your health goals. Applying these techniques can help with weight maintenance and avoiding relapse during high risk times.
This session will be facilitated by our internist, Dr. Jeff Kerrie. According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases take the lives of approx. 17.7 million people each year.
