Medical weight management at Constant Health integrates psychological support through the use of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), under the guidance of Dr. Alexandra Segal, C. Psych. CBT helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours related to eating and weight management. By addressing the psychological aspects of weight management, we empower participants to develop healthier habits and a positive relationship with food. This approach not only supports immediate weight loss but also fosters long-term success by equipping individuals with the tools to maintain their progress and cope with challenges.

Medications can play a crucial role in medical weight loss by helping to reduce hunger, reduce cravings, and increase feelings of fullness. When appropriate follow-up care is provided, current medications can lead patients to lose an average of 15-20% of their body weight. Some medications in the final stages of clinical trials show average losses between 25-30% when combined with evidence-based behavioural interventions. Simply put, if the healthiest life you can enjoy still leaves you with weight that negatively impacts your health or quality of life, and if you meet medical use criteria, medication may be considered. Our team at Constant Health has worked with thousands of clients using anti-obesity medications and has the expertise to help minimize side effects while maximizing efficacy.

There are hundreds of variables impacting the behaviours that influence weight. A personalized weight loss plan strives to consider more than simply calories in and calories out, it considers the person and their lives as a whole when crafting recommendations.

Our registered dietitians work closely with clients, taking into account their preferences, cultural backgrounds, and daily routines/patterns. Through our training and proprietary technology, we leverage Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help clients address the psychological aspects of weight management, enabling them to change negative thought patterns and develop healthier behaviours.

Throughout the program, we offer continuous support and adjustments to the plan as needed, ensuring that it remains aligned with the individual's progress and evolving needs. This personalized approach helps maximize the chances of long-term success and overall well-being.

Technological innovations can play a significant role in enhancing the effectiveness of medical weight management. At Constant Health, we leverage technology to provide a more accessible, personalised, and comprehensive approach to weight management.

Our proprietary technology platform integrates data from various sources including telehealth sessions, wearable devices, and self-reported information. This comprehensive view allows us to tailor interventions more effectively and track progress over time by providing  the team and our clients with insights into behaviours that previously would have been missed. Our technology also facilitates seamless communication between clients and their care team, ensuring that support is always just a click away.

To put it simply, our technology enhances the overall effectiveness of our medical weight management program. These innovations enable us to provide personalised, continuous, and data-driven care that supports long-term success and improves clients’ quality of life

Whatever a person does to lose weight, they’ll need to keep doing in order to maintain that loss. Whether through purely behavioural means, or behavioural means plus weight loss medication, the goal is to craft a lifestyle a person enjoys enough to sustain easily. At Constant Health, our focus from day one is to help clients discover lifelong solutions that work best for them, not based on a formula but on their own personal data and preferences. For some, continuing to interact with our online community and leveraging our technology to help maintain and build new habits is sufficient, while others find regular check-ins with their dietitian helpful.
