Why Metabolite?

Frequently Asked Questions

Metabolite Program

What is the 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.

Do I need a referral?

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.

What is the cost of the program?

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!

What is the wait time?

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!

Are medications covered?
While the Metabolite Program offers groundbreaking treatments, it’s important to note that the medications prescribed as part of the program aren’t directly covered by the clinic. But here’s the exciting part: patients may be able to get reimbursed or have the costs fully covered by their private insurance plan, depending on the specifics of their policy! This opens up the possibility of accessing cutting-edge therapies without breaking the bank. It’s a chance to unlock a healthier future, with the added benefit of insurance coverage potentially making it more affordable than expected!
How do I make appointments?

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.

How can I get my medication refilled?

For all medication refills, we’ve made it super easy for you to stay on track! Simply book an appointment online (click here) or give us a call 2 weeks in advance before you need your refill. No more waiting around for pharmacy requests — this policy ensures that we continue to closely monitor your progress and adjust your treatment safely, especially with any anti-obesity medications prescribed by our clinic. It’s all about keeping you on the path to success and making sure you’re thriving with the right support every step of the way!

Who is eligible for the program?

Our services are available to anyone with a BMI over 27 who is looking to improve their health and make sustainable lifestyle changes. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, click here to check your BMI. 

Can I join if I don't want to take medications?

Absolutely. Medication is just one tool—and it’s not right for everyone. Many patients focus on nutrition, lifestyle, and emotional support with our doctors, dietitian, and therapists, and achieve amazing results without ever using medication.

How often will I meet with the doctor?
Most follow-up visits are every 4–8 weeks. We’ll tailor the schedule to your needs and adjust along the way.
What happens after one year of care?

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.

Do you offer in-person appointments?

No—we are a fully virtual clinic. That means you can meet with your doctor or care team from the comfort of your own home, anywhere in Ontario. Many patients find this makes it easier to stay on track with appointments.

What areas do you serve?
Since we are virtual, we can support patients from anywhere in Ontario. We are expanding care to other provinces in next upcoming months.
