Montreal Comprehensive Weight Management

When you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck,
it’s time for a new kind of approach

The MCW Program offers structured support from a team of experts who understand that lasting wellness is about more than food and fitness—it’s about emotional resilience, values-based living, and building habits that fit your real life.
Whether you want to improve your relationship with food, increase your energy, or feel more confident in your body, this program offers a way forward—practical, compassionate, and tailored to your journey.

Long-term perspective, short-term commitment

Real change takes time, to accomplish, internalize, test and adjust as needed. If it’s taken many years to create the problem, it will probably take a few years to overcome it. But as they say, the journey starts with a single step – you just have to get started.

To make that easy, we begin with a 3-month introductory program. This program includes our core curriculum.. By the end of 3 months, you’ll feel you’re on the path to achieving your goals. We’ll pause there and re-evaluate your needs and design a continuation program that’s right for you.

You’ll work with a team including a dietitian, kinesiologist and psychologist, on a 1:1 basis, and in parallel be invited to join a group support program. Group meetings add the connection with peers, others working on similar issues, and this enhances your individual program.

💡What Makes MCW Different?

Psychology at the Core
Most programs treat weight as a surface issue. We go deeper. Our approach starts by understanding your experiences, habits, and emotions—because meaningful change starts from the inside out.

Whole-Person Care
Our team includes psychologists, dietitians, and exercise professionals who work together to help you make progress you can sustain—not just for months, but for years.

Structure + Flexibility
We offer a clear roadmap to help you move forward, along with the flexibility to adapt that plan to your values, preferences, and needs.

Staying consistent—even during life’s challenges

💬 What Participants Are Saying

“I finally understand that this isn’t about fixing myself—it’s about learning to care for myself in a way that lasts.”
“The group support made a huge difference. I didn’t realize how powerful it would be to hear, ‘me too.’”
“For the first time, I feel like I’m on a path I can actually stay on.”

👥 Who Is This Program For?

People who feel they’ve tried everything—and want something more meaningful
Individuals seeking expert, structured support without judgment
Anyone ready to build habits that align with their goals, values, and life

Our program is adaptable for people in various situations. For example, some of our clients take weight loss medications like Ozempic, Wygovy, Mounjaro, or Contrave, in conjunction with their behaviour change program. Some clients come with more serious issues with binge eating, mood problems, or addictions that need working on before they can get serious about weight control. We offer more intensive psychotherapy, with or without nutritional and exercise consulting. Some individuals are preparing for, or already had, weight loss surgery, and we help them optimize their surgical results. For teenagers, we have a special program for adolescents and their families.

The MCW Program can help you achieve your goals—without shame, without extremes, and with a focus on lasting change.
