Because we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to weight and wellbeing management, we’ve partnered with Doctor’s Kitchen to offer you our Weight & Wellbeing First Program. Integrating clinical and medical practitioners with scaled nutritional support, the 12-week program is uniquely focused on helping you reach your personal health goals by making positive life changes that are achievable and sustainable.
The Weight & Wellbeing First Program is suited to members who have risk factors of being pre-diabetic or borderline diabetic, including being overweight or obese or who have a family history of Type 2 Diabetes.
Focused on helping you make behavioural and lifestyle changes, our program is designed to give you the real-life tools you need to help better manage your weight and transform your health and life.
