Welcome to the Health Not Weight webinar series.

Thanks to the Haldimand Family Health Team, this webinar series is dedicated to support you learn about weight science. Please have a review of the information that I will be covering and register today.

How do I help my clients stop obsessing about their weight?

I get YOU!!

I know what it’s like when clients come to see you with the following:

Fear of gaining weight or have gained weight
Increased hunger or cravings
Feeling like a failure
Asking you about which ‘diet’ they should follow
Wanting to lose more weight
Practicing risky health behaviours in attempts to control their weight
And the list goes on….

Considering the growing evidence about weight science and the number of clients that seem to have unrealistic weight expectations and/or internalize their weight efforts, I have found that when clients understand “the WHY” behind weight science, they are more inclined to stop blaming themselves and can focus on health outcomes and behaviours that move beyond weight-specific goals.

In this 2-part webinar series, I will provide you with the EDUCATION part of my program
