2024/04/22

Many commercial weight loss programs operate on the assumption that you don’t know what you should be eating. So, they’ll give you a diet or meal plan to follow and that will make you lose weight. That works – in the short term. But over 80% of people will regain that weight. Alternatively, maybe you’ve tried using a food tracker, something like MyFitnessPal, or even a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) to gather calorie or blood sugar data. Maybe you’ve tried the new AI tools like Lumen,

That was me up until this summer, until I just did something that changed my life… I signed up to run the Mississauga Marathon. The full distance: 42 km! Prior to a couple months ago, a full marathon would not have even been within the realm of my imagination. Not even a thought. It has always been something that other people do, people who are much better runners than me. So how did we get here? I

When you think about the HOW behind losing weight, what strategies do you think of? Calorie deficits, diets, exercise. The medical options are also bariatric surgery. We are also hearing more about anti-obesity medications recently as another option. The one tool that the media doesn’t talk about enough, is mindset coaching. Mindset coaching helps you overcome all the self-limiting beliefs of losing weight. It helps you unlearn the toxic diet culture messaging. The “all or nothing

2023/11/18

Many years ago in my obesity medicine practice, I had a realization. Just telling people what to eat was never the answer. Diets alone don’t work. You go all-in on a new diet, just to fall off the wagon a few weeks later and lose the same 10 pounds on and off. The problem was, diet culture was fuelled by shame and self-punishment, not self-compassion. The problem was a lack of emotional processing tools, so food becomes the way to decompress. The problem was that most of the time we live

Can you relate to this? Feeling like it’s “not fair” that you have to work so hard to eat healthy, when other people don’t seem to think twice. Being envious of other people who seem to eat whatever they want and lose weight. Thinking “what’s the point of doing all of this?” It may sound shocking, but eating junk food is not “more fun”. If it truly was more fun, then why do we want to make changes? The reason is because there are real negative consequences to not fueling our bodies

We've been on a journey with my five-part podcast series called RETHINKING OBESITY. For our final week of this series, we are focusing on medical therapy for obesity. With all the media coverage that anti-obesity medications have received recently, it is no surprise that this has been a long awaited topic. Often, people assume that just improving one's lifestyle, like eating healthier or exercising more, is sufficient for weight loss. But that's a misconception. The brain plays a

This one’s for anyone who has tried diet after diet, and nothing works. You think, “there must be something else wrong with me”. The truth is, it's not your fault.

You will learn about important tests beyond BMI for a comprehensive obesity exam. It's not about pinpointing one hormone or factor that's solely responsible.

Did you know that it takes an average of 11 years for individuals with obesity to discuss their weight with their healthcare provider? This was according to the Canadian ACTION Study in 2018. It also revealed that 74% of participants believed that obesity management was entirely the individual's responsibility. This common perception creates a significant barrier to effective treatment. This mindset leads to self-blame and the mistaken belief that more willpower, dieting, or exercise will

It’s time to change the conversation around obesity and lift the shame and stigma. That’s why I’m launching a new series called RETHINKING OBESITY.
