The Last Weight Loss Program You’ll Need

Yes, to be eligible for the program you must be willing and able to take one of the four medications we may prescribe.

Weight gain is often caused by many factors, and weight loss is likewise affected by many. Our treatments will help you lose weight and keep it off; the exact amount you lose will vary depending on what else you’re doing, and what your goals are.

For one of the medications we prescribe, over a 12-month period, 40% of patients lost more than 5% of their body weight, and 21% of patients lost 10%. With the other medication, two-thirds of patients lost more than 5%, and one-third lost 10%.

These are the baselines you can expect. And when you use these medications along with lifestyle changes in diet and exercise, these weight losses can be significantly more.

In general, a weight loss of up to 2 lbs per week is what helps prevent major losses in muscle, and decreases in metabolic rate. So, based on how much you’re aiming to lose, you can take your current weight subtract your goal weight and divide by 2. That will tell you the number of weeks it’ll take at the max loss per week.

Our program has four medication options, two of which are oral tablets taken daily, the other two are injections, either daily or weekly. We prescribe based upon your goals, general health, lifestyle and other medications you may be on.

We will walk you through the dosages, side effects, and instructions for your prescription so you know exactly what to expect.

Generally, it is recommended that clients that start with medications should stay on the medication for six months to a year to stabilize weight maintenance before coming off of medication. There is no set date to stop the medication, but in the clinical trials studying these treatments, the medications were taken for 1 year. After 1 year, some people may choose to continue to take the medications for weight maintenance. Our medical team can help you transition to a maintenance program once you achieve your goal weight.

For all our weight loss programs, you’ll be placed on a three month subscription.

While regaining weight can be quite common after coming off of a treatment, our program will help you establish lifestyle habits that will help prevent weight regain.

There are many reasons for weight regain, such as an increase in calorie intake, decreased activity, and decreased metabolic rate. Our program aims to support you in learning how to eat in ways that promote satiety, maintain an active lifestyle, and prevent major declines in your metabolism.

You can expect to lose weight steadily for a few months, however you may find there are times that your weight loss plateaus and then restarts again. This is totally normal and a sign from your body to take a break from losing weight. It is extremely hard to continue to lose weight in a linear fashion for months at a time. It is important to incorporate phases of weight maintenance where you get comfortable maintaining a new lower weight. Incorporating weight maintenance phases can also make it easier to restart losing weight, and prevent weight gain.

The most effective way to lose weight is safe, sustainable, and long-lasting.

Weight loss programs that use medicine to address the issue at a cellular level aren’t common. We tailor your weight loss plan to the biomarkers we get from your blood test results, the amount of weight you want to lose, and your lifestyle.

With Jack Health, you’re getting Wellness Team consults, medication, pharmacy support, blood test interpretations with a medical team, ongoing care touch points, helpful and educational content and a team of Canadian experts cheering you on.

While going on an intense diet is often not sustainable, making dietary changes can be a sustainable option that can come with additional benefits.

As we lose weight, we lose both muscle and fat. To keep muscle mass and aid fat loss it is important to eat foods that support sustainable weight loss and muscle maintenance. Dietary changes can also help improve biomarkers, better manage and prevent health conditions, improve pain management, improve energy levels, improve sleep, and help you be a stronger, healthier you. Changes to your diet aren’t necessary with our treatments. However, the rate at which you lose weight will increase with lifestyle changes.

Monitoring what you eat and increasing your daily movement will help you shed weight faster, as well as build healthy habits that help maintain your goal weight long term.

The best program is one you’re comfortable and confident in following: we’ll help you figure out what that looks like for you.

Once you’ve completed your blood work and met with our team, they’ll determine which medication (if any) is appropriate for you. At that point, we’ll make sure we have your insurance information and then process the order. Once submitted, you can expect your delivery within 2-5 days.

You’ll be provided with a tracking number so you can verify where your order is. Easy!

Some benefits and insurance plans will cover a portion of your treatment cost, and most will cover the support fee as it covers your consultations with dietitians and other experts. We double-check what’s covered for you before processing payments, so you know upfront how much the program will cost. Any consults with our experts, like dietitians, outside of the baseline care of the program will often be covered by your insurance.

We can provide the drug identification numbers to you so you can look up whether your specific plan covers them – send us an email hello@jackhealth.ca

Some insurance plans include an HSA – health spendings account. This account can cover a wide variety of health spending including step counters and health trackers, consultations with dietitians or health coaches, and even personal training.

Depends on the medication you are prescribed.

Medications start at $300 per month. The drug manufacturers often have patient support promotions that can be applied to assist with this monthly cost as well. We’ll check to see what is available for you and will apply any discounts to the drug cost.

Each customer will also be charged $60 per month for support – this covers off your access to Registered Dietitians, Registered Kinesiologists, Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers.. It’ll also cover off delivery straight to your door of your medications, as well as blood work diagnostics and analysis.

All patients are put on a three-month subscription. After the first three months, you’ll decide whether you’d like to continue on the medication.
