About LEAF®

What we do for our clients.

We understand that no two weight-loss journeys are the same, which is why we take the time to learn about you and your experiences with weight. We provide a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment where you can talk with doctors and allied health professionals about your weight and receive world-class, evidence-based care that works. 

Once we understand your goals, challenges, and unique requirements we develop a weight management approach that works for you. The tools and support we provide help you meet your health goals and set you up for long-term success.

  • Proven Approach

    Our team has decades of experience helping patients reach their health goals through carefully designed evidence-based programs.

  • Evidence-Based

    The care you receive from our physicians and dietitians is based on sound clinical evidence. This means your weight loss will be sustainable over the long-term, which is essential for weight management.

Live. Eat. Activity. Forever.

Take the Next Step in Your Journey to a Healthy Weight Today with LEAF.

We believe in the 4C’s. Compassion, Connection, Commitment, and Change. 

We know that weight management is complex, and not easy. Unfortunately, shame and blame are too often associated with excess weight and this bias may be a barrier for your ability to live your best life. Our years of connecting with our patients have shown us that people living with obesity are not at fault and are deserving of compassionate care. There are a multitude of factors that contribute to weight; genetics, environment, stressors, medication, sleep patterns, to name a few. We help you to understand the factors that are beyond and within your control, so you commit to effective action and make lasting change.
