Is AOC right for me? ✅

✅ A medical, evidence-based approach (not fad diets)
✅ Support with hunger, cravings, emotional eating, or binge-like patterns
✅ Help managing weight + metabolic health (e.g., prediabetes/diabetes, PCOS, fatty liver, sleep apnea, blood pressure, cholesterol)
✅ A personalized plan that fits your life and your goals
✅ Care focused on sustainable progress and long-term maintenance
✅ A non-judgmental team that treats obesity as a health issue, not a personal failure
✅ Options that may include nutrition, behaviour strategies, activity guidance, and medical treatments (when appropriate)

All of our services are delivered 100% virtually and are completely free to anyone living anywhere in Alberta with a valid health card.

At AOC, obesity is recognized and treated as a chronic, complex medical condition — never a reflection of character or willpower.

Our approach brings together physicians, nurses, psychologists, and registered dietitians who work as one team to support long-term well-being.

Here, progress isn’t measured only by weight. It’s seen in energy, mobility, confidence, and quality of life — the outcomes that truly matter.

Contact AOC today to get detailed information about our suite of services, and start your journey to better health.

You don’t need extreme workouts to improve your health.

Moderate movement; like brisk walking, swimming, cycling, or light strength training can significantly improve blood sugar control, heart health, mood, sleep, and long-term weight management.

Consistency matters more than intensity.

Even 20–30 minutes most days can make a real difference.
At the Alberta Obesity Centre, we focus on realistic, sustainable plans that fit into real life.

AOC is experiencing real momentum in how we support people living with obesity; and the conversation is shifting.

The focus is on comprehensive, patient-centred options that recognize obesity as a chronic health condition, not a moral failing. That means more access than ever to treatments backed by evidence at AOC, including:

Multidisciplinary team care – we provide dietitians, physicians, sports medicine, nutritional and mental health/behavioural professionals who work together on personalized plans rather than one-size-fits-all advice.

Medications that actually move the needle - newer therapies that help with appetite regulation and metabolic health are being integrated into care plans, with more coverage discussions happening at Alberta Health and with insurers.

Behavioral and lifestyle supports - long-term coaching, activity planning, and mental well-being support are front and centre, because sustainable change isn’t just about numbers on a scale.

Surgical options for those who need them - bariatric surgery is more supported with pre- and post-care to improve outcomes, not just quick fixes.

Conversation matters too. We support metabolic health, respecting body diversity, and focusing on goals that are tailored to each individual.

Whether you’re exploring options, supporting someone, or working in health services we would love to hear what’s working for you and what you’re interested in. Share experiences, resources, or questions below ❤️

Maintaining weight loss during the festive season can be a challenge. Here are some helpful tips to help you stay on track during the holidays:

1. Stick to healthy, balanced meals and include plenty of fruits and vegetables.
2. Moderation is key: While it's okay to enjoy your favorite holiday treats, remember to practice portion control.
3. Stay hydrated: Sometimes we confuse thirst with hunger.
4. Seek support: If you're struggling to stay on track, reach out to friends or family members who share similar health goals.
