Why Medical Weight Loss Works
Weight loss isn’t just about willpower — it’s about science. At Metabolite Clinic, we take a 360° look at your health — evaluating your metabolism, hormones, nutrition, mental health, and medical history.
With modern weight loss treatments, you can lose up to 22% of your total body weight — achieving life-changing results while improving overall health.
Even losing just 5% of your body weight can improve your metabolic panel, lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol, and even help reverse pre-diabetes or diabetes in some patients.
Our team of physicians, nurse practitioners, dietitians, and mental health professionals work together to help you lose weight safely and keep it off.

Why We Offer This Program
Many people who qualify for medical weight loss care in Ontario don’t get referred — often because they don’t have a family doctor.
We created this program to remove barriers so you can get the care you deserve. Your weight does not define you — but your health matters. Let’s start your journey together.

If you have a family doctor, we recommend obtaining a referral from them so they can stay informed and involved in your care.
However, this pathway is specifically designed for patients who do not have a family doctor or whose doctor is unable to provide a referral.
We created this option to ensure you can still access timely, comprehensive obesity and metabolic health support through our program.
No — because we are Internal Medicine Specialists, your visit with us will not affect your family doctor or their roster with OHIP. We do encourage you to obtain a referral from your family doctor if possible, so they are aware of your care.
If you have a family doctor, we also ask that you provide their fax number so we can send them our consultation notes and keep your medical records up to date.
This program is fully covered by OHIP for eligible Ontario residents. There is no cost to receive your referral or see our specialists.
No. Our specialists will assess your health, medical history, and goals to create a personalized plan. This may include prescription medication, nutrition counseling, mental health support, or other evidence-based treatments with our specialists.
Once we receive your form, our healthcare provider will review it. You’ll then have a visit with our provider to determine if you meet the criteria. If you do, we will send your referral.
Wait times vary but are generally much shorter than traditional referral pathways.
We have limited availability each month, and spots get taken very quickly — apply as soon as possible.
