Metabolite Program
Our program is physician-led and designed to provide safe, personalized, and evidence-based support for weight management. Together, we’ll create a plan that works for your lifestyle and health goals. This may include nutrition and behavior support, psychotherapy, and—if appropriate—prescription medication. Our goal is to support you every step of the way on your health journey.
Yes. A referral from your doctor or nurse practitioner is required for the Metabolite Program. If you don’t have a family doctor, don’t worry—we offer a free referral program to help you get started.
The Metabolite Program, focusing on health and wellness, is fully covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP), meaning eligible Ontario residents can access it at no extra cost. However, you will need a referral from your doctor or nurse practitioner to get started. OHIP ensures that essential healthcare services are both accessible and affordable for residents of Ontario!
The wait time for the Metabolite Program is currently 2-4 weeks . This short wait reflects our streamlined process, ensuring quick access to care while managing resources efficiently to minimize delays. We’re excited to have you join the program and start your health journey!
Once your referral is received, we’ll contact you by phone or email to help you set up your secure patient account. From there, you’ll be able to book, view, or reschedule your appointments anytime online.

Because our services are in high demand, patients are discharged back to their family doctor after one year. We will communicate your progress with them, and if you wish to continue care with our clinic, a new referral will be required.
