Medical Weight Managment In Vancouver
Looking for medical weight management in Vancouver? At Six Clinic, we offer individualized, clinician-guided weight management services designed to support metabolic health and overall wellbeing. Our programs are delivered within a regulated medical framework and may include medical assessment, nutrition and lifestyle counselling, and, when clinically appropriate, prescription-based interventions as part of a comprehensive care plan.
All care is provided with informed consent and in accordance with professional standards set by regulatory colleges in British Columbia.
What Is Medical Weight Management?
Medical weight management is a structured clinical approach to supporting body composition and metabolic health. Unlike commercial weight loss programs, medical weight management involves individualized assessment and ongoing clinical oversight by regulated healthcare providers. Programs may include:
Comprehensive medical and lifestyle assessment
Nutrition and lifestyle counselling
Behavioural and habit support
Metabolic health evaluation
Review of appropriate therapeutic options
Ongoing monitoring and follow-up
All recommendations are personalized and based on clinical appropriateness.
Who May Benefit From Medical Weight Management?
Medical weight management services may be appropriate for individuals who:
Are seeking clinician-guided support for weight and metabolic health
Have experienced challenges with previous weight-focused interventions
Prefer a medically supervised, individualized approach
Are interested in addressing contributing factors such as nutrition, sleep, stress, and metabolic health
Value continuity of care in a regulated clinical setting
Suitability is determined through consultation and assessment.
Prescription-Based Options (When Clinically Appropriate)
Some individuals may be assessed for prescription-based therapies as part of a medical weight management program. These therapies are considered only following a medical consultation, review of indications and contraindications, and shared decision-making between patient and provider.
Prescription treatments are not suitable for everyone and are not the sole focus of care. Lifestyle, nutrition, and behavioural supports remain foundational components of our weight management approach.
Six Clinic does not promote or advertise specific prescription medications. All prescribing decisions are made by licensed prescribers within their professional scope and regulatory standards.
