Life is busy with lots of distractions and competing priorities. Not surprisingly, we can have the best intentions to pursue certain goals but still lack the consistency to move forward with them. In this session, we will explore the power of goal setting as a tool to help facilitate change in your life. Whether it be giving you more clarity and direction, providing a contingency plan for anticipated challenges, monitoring your progress, or increasing your motivation, there are lots of benefits from using this tool when building new habits. 

Lack of nutrition knowledge can pose a significant challenge when it comes to practicing healthy eating and sustainable weight management. In this new 6-week course, we will help you develop a better foundation of nutrition principles as we explore the role of diet in the management and prevention of chronic medical conditions, the unique role of carbohydrates, protein, and fat as fuel sources for the body, as well as skills to help decipher misleading nutrition labels and make informed choices at the grocery store. Our goal is to help you build nutrition and food literacy skills that will empower you to develop your best diet. 

This course is designed to provide patients with the knowledge and resources they need to help increase their physical activity. Participants will review and discuss common barriers to physical activity, set weekly goals around movement, and learn more about the health benefits and guidelines for specific types of exercise.

Our mindset holds tremendous power when it comes to facilitating behaviour change. The way we think impacts our attitude, motivation, and resilience when it comes to sticking with and pursuing our goals. In this 4-week module, we will practice managing unhelpful thoughts using strategies based in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Common thinking traps will be addressed such as negative predictions, mind reading thoughts, all or nothing thinking and self-criticism.

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.
