Want to know more about our 12 month HOW2HEAL medical weight management program!

Behavioral Therapies (CBT, ACT, DBT, Motivational interviewing)  are used to address cognitive distortions that influence lasting change. 

HOW2HEAL utilizes multiple Behavioral Therapies (CBT, ACT, DBT, Motivational interviewing). The goal of using these psychological and behavioural intervention tools are to achieve sustainable changes that can improve:

• Weight loss and weight maintenance 
• Quality of life and motivation
• Tolerance to distress and interpersonal growth
• Abilities to live in a stable and rewarding way and being in touch with your values and how to abide by them. 

The use of psychotherapy is an integral part of achieving the best weight for you. Under our direction, patients are encouraged to set realistic and achievable goals, participate in self-monitoring, and analyze setbacks using problem-solving and adaptive thinking. 

The nurturing and development of this ability, to “self-monitor” feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, can help increase overall awareness of the recurring patterns preventing you from achieving your best weight and healthy lifestyle. These patterns can be utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment, allowing a much clearer understanding of the situations and variables causing the underlying issues.

There is no “single path” to success. We understand and embrace this. Dr. Jamie Le has created this versatile program to promote positive self-esteem, self-value, and the confidence to overcome barriers in your healthy new lifestyle. 

Anti-Obesity Medications to assist in promoting weight loss and maintenance. (These medications have been demonstrated to be more effective in promoting weight loss compared to those not on anti-obesity medications.)

It's no secret, modest and sustained weight loss is a proven method to reduce obesity-related comorbidities and promote a healthy lifestyle.

Although healthy nutritional choices and behaviour modifications are the cornerstones of HOW2HEAL, these changes alone often prove ineffective in achieving long-term weight management goals.

Although healthy nutritional choices and behaviour modifications are the cornerstones of HOW2EAL, these changes alone often prove ineffective in achieving long-term weight management goals.

 If nutrition and behavioural changes prove ineffective in achieving desired results, anti-obesity medications can be used to aid in the journey. Anti-obesity medications can be an effective option to help achieve goals and maintain results for a long-term healthy lifestyle. 

There are several factors to be taken into consideration in determining the appropriate choice of pharmacotherapy for patients, options can be explored.

Nutrition Education and Guidance to help you choose the right foods for your body that will help get you to your health goals safely and timely.

 Healthy eating habits are the backbone of HOW2HEAL. With so many avenues to find information these days, it's hard to even understand what nutrition for weight loss really involves. 

The midset of HOW2HEAL is simple: Minimizing refined, packaged, and processed foods while focusing on eating more whole foods.

A quick look around will show there is no "best diet" made for everyone. HEAL takes into account all eating styles based on an individual's comorbidities and food preferences. We also realize your eating preferences can change over time, which means we can work with you. The HOW2HEAL philosophy is about understanding fundamental nutritional principles. This knowledge will assist you in making healthy food choices so you can "have your cake and eat it too."

HOW2HEAL focuses on a lower carb, healthy fats, plant based or animal protein approach. Choices can always be modified based on individual needs and food restrictions anytime in the process. 

While participating in HOW2HEAL we realize no food is truly off-limits. Our goal is to empower you to make your own healthy choices. We want you to set and achieve goals respective of your current weight and physical condition while understanding the true benefits of restricting certain foods in your diet. (ie. reducing insulin resistance.) 

A successful HOW2HEAL graduate will have the knowledge to make the right food choices for the right reasons.

It is no secret that sleep and weight loss are closely related. In fact, studies have shown that those who get enough sleep are more likely to lose weight and keep it off than those who don't.

There are a few reasons why sleep and weight management are so closely linked. For one, when you're well-rested, you're more likely to have the energy and motivation to exercise, which is essential for weight loss. Furthermore, sleep helps regulate hormones that play a role in appetite, so getting enough shut-eye can help keep cravings at bay.

Of course, at HOW2HEAL it's not just about weight management; sleep is important for overall health. Getting adequate sleep can help improve mood, memory, and immunity, among other things.

 So if you're looking to improve your health in multiple ways, make sure you're getting enough sleep!
