GOALS Beyond Obesity
Treating (and beating) chronic conditions with lifestyle interventions (and the right medications when needed)
Making lifestyle changes is an effective way to safeguard your health, going beyond obesity. Major health organizations like the Canadian Cardiovascular Society and Diabetes Canada emphasize that healthy habits are key in treating various conditions.
For instance, Diabetes Canada points out that “Type 2 diabetes is managed through physical activity and meal planning” and may involve medications or insulin. This shows that lifestyle changes should be the first treatment option.
However, the vast amount of information available can be overwhelming. That's where we come in. Our evidence-based advice and treatment, offered under medical supervision, can help you take charge of your health. Sustainable lifestyle changes can enhance your quality of life and lower healthcare costs by reducing the need for invasive treatments.
Lifestyle changes can help prevent or improve conditions like:
- Pre-diabetes
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Metabolic syndrome
- Cardiovascular disease
- Fatty liver
Trust our medical team and health coaches to support you in leading a healthier life. Take the crucial step towards a better you today!
Why Refer to the GOALS Program
Supporting your patients with obesity and chronic conditions—within the OHIP framework.
Managing obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic conditions often requires more than brief office visits. Patients need consistent support, accountability, and education to make meaningful progress. The GOALS Program (OHIP pathway) provides exactly that—without additional cost to patients.
What Patients Receive
- Weekly electronic follow‑up: Patients are contacted regularly through secure online questionnaires, keeping them engaged and accountable between visits.
- Evidence‑based lifestyle guidance: Practical tools and education help patients make changes that improve metabolic health.
- Continuity of care: All progress is communicated back to you, so you remain central to the patient’s journey.
How This Benefits Your Practice
- Better outcomes: Patients return with improved weight, blood pressure, and metabolic markers—making your management easier.
- Reduced burden: Weekly electronic follow‑up means patients receive ongoing support outside your office, without adding to your workload.
- Enhanced patient satisfaction: Patients appreciate proactive, structured care that goes beyond medication adjustments.
- Collaborative partnership: GOALS complements your practice by reinforcing your recommendations and extending your reach.
