Weight loss guidance built for Canada

Generic weight loss advice often misses the Canadian context — provincial drug coverage, availability of GLP-1 medications through provincial programs, OHIP eligibility for bariatric surgery, and which supplements are actually approved by Health Canada.

Every guide on this page is written with Canadian healthcare systems in mind — including references to Health Canada guidelines, the Canadian Obesity Network's clinical practice recommendations, and provincial health program eligibility.
