OHIP-covered Weight Loss Program

Overview

WhyWeight is cutting through the social media clutter on weight loss and making tailored, personalized OHIP covered weight loss programs accessible across Ontario. We connect you to accredited physicians to help you start your own weight loss journey.

At WhyWeight, we understand that weight loss can be an uphill task. Given the enormous amount of social media videos on weight loss, from magic potions to targeted workouts, it can be overwhelming to figure out and stick to what “truly” works for your body, schedule and situation.

That’s why we have made it our mission to cut through all the BS surrounding weight management and provide Ontarians with a tailored and evidence-backed approach to ohip covered weight loss programs. In essence, we flip the whole weight management approach narrative and pivot it to put you at the center of it.

This means putting you in touch with experienced weight loss physicians who, instead of telling you what to do, speak with you to understand your weight management goals, schedule, and body composition. Once they truly understand what makes you ‘YOU’, they come up with a tailored medical weight loss program that incorporates lifestyle changes, nutritional changes and prescription medications like Zepbound, Wegovy, Saxenda and Contrave.

Once you’re paired with one of our trusted weight loss clinics, you’re no longer on this journey alone. In fact, you gain a team that will be with you every step of the way — checking in, cheering you on, and making sure you reach your goals safely and successfully.

Losing Weight with an OHIP Covered Weight Loss Program

WhyWeight has been designed to simplify the weight loss journey, freeing Ontarians from endless visits to dieticians, weight loss clinics, diet programs, social media weight loss videos, online weight loss hacks and everything else under the sun that only deters people from losing weight.

Once connected to an OHIP covered weight loss program, you gain access to a team of accredited physicians, who evaluate your unique health profile, not just your weight, to get a complete understanding of what works for you. Based on your unique profile, weight management experts create a tailor-made, OHIP covered weight loss plan that works for you, including access to dieticians, personal trainers and cognitive behavioral therapy.

If you’ve been struggling to lose weight on your own or feel stuck despite trying every diet and social media weight loss hack, we invite you to fill out our quick, 2 min FREE assessment. There’s no signup, email, or credit card required for this! What have you got to lose?
