Who is this for?

  • Building more personal control over nutrition choices.
 
Details of online group sessions:
105 minutes regularly scheduled group sessions via Zoom on Monday evenings 6:30 - 8:15 PM Weekly [except holiday times, publicized in advance]

Why should I attend?
Help all of us to consider: 
  • The science of appetite hormones
  • Role of low carb, ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting timing
  • Management of hunger urges
  • Practical strategies others find successful
  • Available approved addiction related prescription treatments
  • Experiences of patients and clinicians with such medication-pros and cons
  • Other resources to explore and use including the recent book and website, “A Fork in the Road” by Dr. Jen Unwin, a clinical psychologist with an addiction focus and excellent experience conducting successful group sessions for weight loss and metabolic syndrome reversal.
 
 How will our group function? 
  • Respectful sharing of ideas and concerns
  • Moderated by Toronto Metabolic Clinic clinicians
  • Empowerment solution based counselling in a peer support format
  • This is NOT a psychoanalytic or major psychiatric treatment group
 
Join us for what we hope will be interesting and helpful ongoing conversations about a challenging topic !
