Weight-inclusive care focuses on the individual rather than the number on the scale. This approach is compassionate, understanding, and client-focused.

Many will go on a diet in an attempt to lose weight. However, research shows that when an individual stops the diet they used to lose weight they gain it back. In fact, two-thirds of people will gain more weight than they originally lost! When we look closer at weight-inclusive care, we take notice of the importance of physiological markers in blood work. We focus on the big picture while taking a comprehensive approach to meet your goals. For more information, check out this helpful fact sheet from Health At Every Size (HAES).
