Metabolic Behaviour Change IntensiveA 6 Month Guided Program

If you have successfully lost weight over and over again, you’re in the right place!

You know the pain of engaging in repeated cycles of loss and gain. “I’ll start again,” but not now. Later.

Look for the next diet.
Find the perfect time to start.
Muster motivation and strength.
Try that diet that “worked” again.

That diet didn’t work. How do I know?

Because you are here.

I will help you recover from diet fatigue and lose the mental weight of dieting for good.

There is hope.

Together, we will find the landing space between living a full,  free life AND eating in a way that supports your health – your best maintainable weight. (I did not say the lowest weight ever attained by you or your ancestors!)

This science and evidence-based coaching program uses the neuroscience of behaviour change and growth. It is informed by hundreds of hours of training and working with hundreds of clients.

You will show up around food in a way consistent with how you want to show up in this world. Learn to get through the hard parts while aligned with your deeply held values because life is full of hard parts.

No shiny gimmicks. No fake promises of cures.

Because this is NOT a weight loss program, you’ve been there, done that.

You don’t want to work with me forever. That is the goal. You won’t need it. You’ll be a better version of yourself.

Years of experience have shown me what clients need to make healthy change. Therefore, the  Behaviour Intensive Program is created around these four pillars.

Four Pillars to Sustainable Change

Expertise

  • Monthly coaching with new learnings and awarenesses of how to change the way we show up around food.
  • Practical tools and tips learned from years of client experience of what really works.

Accountability

High-frequency accountability and support to keep up the energy, momentum and inspiration to make a healthy change.

Support

Share your journey in a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate space.
We have your back. You are not alone.

Strategy

  • Knowing is different than doing. You may already have a great deal of knowledge of “what” to do differently, but not “how” to sustain it.
  • Learn how to apply your learning to your day-to-day life and be able to do it forever.

I am a retired 72 year old woman who has struggled with  extreme dieting for most of my life. I had feelings of guilt, shame and failure that negatively impacted every area of my life. I tried so many diets that ultimately circled back to more weight gain.

Dr Hong’s program is not another Diet Plan. It is a journey. The journey encourages and supports
an exploration. That exploration allows you to come to an understanding of your behaviors and gives you the tools to make permanent changes.

Thanks to Dr Hong’s program I have achieved and maintained a healthy weight and ended the stress of my battle with food. Thank you Dr Hong.

FAQs

  • I understand this is a behaviour program, but will you be talking about food or weight at all?

Yes! The first module is all about about the foundations of building healthy food habits and you will learn how to build your plan based on your own preferences. However, the focus will be on health and sustainability and not temporary weight loss.

  • Will you provide a meal plan?

A meal plan template will be offered so that you can build a plan based on your preferences.

  • Can I pay month to month?

This is a 6-month program with modules designed for you to have the best chance of long-term success. The groups will be kept small to maximize the benefits of group learning. It will adversely affect the dynamic if there are participants coming in and out of the group. For this reason, we ask that clients make a firm 6 month commitment. The payment plan reflects this goal.

  • What is your refund policy?

There are no refunds once the payment is made and the enrolment form is submitted.

  • What if I miss a live session?

The sessions will be recorded with a live replay by request. The recording will not be distributed to maintain the confidentiality of the sessions.

  • Will the groups be confidential?

The enrolment form will include a confidentiality agreement. However, there are limits to how much confidentiality can be protected since FACEBOOK and gmail are not HIPPA compliant. Please do not post any sensitive information on FACEBOOK or through gmail.

  • Will medications and medical concerns be covered?

The intake form will ask basic medical questions to ensure the participant is safe to proceed.
However, this is not a medical program. This is a non-medical coaching program. Specific medical questions and concerns cannot be addressed. Posts asking medical questions will have to be deleted.

  • How can I see Dr. Hong for medical concerns?

Ontario residents can have their family MD refer to to  Dr. Hong for a consultation and follow-up q 3-6 months if necessary for medication or medical follow-up.  These visits are covered by OHIP.  These are medical visits and not coaching visits.

You can find the contact information for Dr.Hong’s medical metabolic  practice at  northtorontomedical.ca

  • What happens after 6 months?

We are creating a maintenance program. Stay tuned!

  • I am not in Ontario. How can I join?

Please join the waitlist!

  • Will my private insurance cover this program?

Please contact your individual provider for more information.
