Constant Health is the only program of its kind in Canada. Our service was designed with equal focus on both behavioural and medical science to support you in forming long lasting behaviours and habits that help lead you to your health and lifestyle goals. Each person who joins our program has a unique journey customized to their needs and diet preferences.
You will receive over 5 hours of direct support from our team of registered dietitians trained in both nutrition science and behaviour change. Our clinicians specialize in supporting clients with weight loss and chronic disease management.
Our technology is designed to be a tool that can be customized to each user's needs and diet preferences that not only supports your journey between appointments, but allows us to have interactive sessions in which we can review data specific to you and develop strategies that are designed to help you on your journey.
The exact cost of our 15-week program, which includes access to our behavioural intervention technology, over 5 hours of one-on-one time with our clinicians, and unlimited messaging in between appointments is $749. Insurance receipts will be provided after each of your one-on-one dietitian appointments which will cover the entire cost of the program. There are no hidden fees or required product purchases.
Following the completion of the 15-week program you will have the option of joining us for Relapse Prevention. Unlike other programs we do not make people re-enroll in the program over and over to get to an arbitrary number, instead we're trying to maintain your lifestyle, and if your lifestyle has fewer calories, you will continue to lose weight. We’ve created options that allow you to tailor Relapse Prevention to have as much support as you feel you need, when you feel you need it, starting as low as $6/month. All of your options can be found here.
Each program is tailored to individual needs and requests, so we can cover a wide range of topics. Here are a few of the most common themes discussed during our sessions:
If you have questions beyond these subjects, we want to know. Our clinicians have a wealth of clinical experience and want to hear what is most important to you.
None. If you are interested in a certain dietary protocol such as Intermittent Fasting or the Ketogenic diet we can work together to implement this safely and sustainably into your daily routine. However, most of our clients don’t choose to follow a diet, they choose to find ways of eating that feel comfortable, reduce hunger, and support them in meeting their health goals.
No, your food choices will always be your own! Many may aim for weight maintenance while on holiday to allow for more flexibility while still keeping some structure to maintain or develop new habits. Others plan to approach vacations differently. Holidays and celebrations will always be part of life and part of our job is to help teach you strategies to ensure that you still enjoy yourself.
No! We will never ask you to buy any special foods or supplements. You may want to update your shopping list after some of our discussions but your food choices will always be up to you.
No, the choice will be yours! Weight is just one more data point that can help us understand if we are headed in the direction you want to go. Scales measure the gravitational pull of the earth at a given moment in time - nothing else. The number on the scale has no relationship to what type of person you are, your health or your own self worth. We appreciate that for some people stepping on the scale can have an adverse reaction to their motivation, mood or confidence. That is why we also focus on other non-scale measures like strength, stamina, consistency, health metrics, or simply how your pants are fitting!
No we don’t use meal plans, but this is a question we get asked a lot!
We don’t believe in handing out food plans for several reasons:
Many of our clients are looking for inspiration; with that in mind we designed our recipes feature to support menu planning for individuals or even large families! Here you will be able to filter our extensive recipe library to find meals and snacks that meet your own likes and preferences, save your favourites, add your own family favourites, and connect with the Constant Health community for recipe tips and tricks! We think this is a much better option than a meal plan - we hope you agree!
Great question! The answer will vary between each client. The very minimum time required to undertake this program is ~6 hours to attend appointments;however, we know it is almost impossible to form long lasting habits in 6 hours! If you are hoping to discover lifestyle changes and health habits that support you to make lasting changes we suggest being able to dedicate at least 30 minutes each day throughout the program.
This is a bit of long one, so we made a video for you. See INTRO TO FOOD TRACKING for more information.
At Constant Health you're always in the driver's seat while we're in the passenger's seat to help guide you! We connect directly through your smartphone or tablet. During your appointments we will always set an agenda, this may sound a little formal but it ensures that we are always focusing on topics or issues that are at the top of your priority list and most relevant to you. We will review what’s working well and what might be more challenging and create experiments designed to identify new helpful strategies and support you in building new habits.
If you want to focus on a certain topic let us know and we can review the evidence together and discover ways to translate the science to real life!
Dietitians translate the science of nutrition into real life and work with you to uncover the amazing benefits that food has to offer. Dietitians are registered professionals and hold a protected title, this means they only work with evidence based information. Dietitians will help guide you through the sea of myths and polarized advice to discover how your diet can really affect you. Rather than fitting yourself into a pre-made rigid diet, they will help you to create a tailor made, flexible approach that is designed specifically for you. This means they consider your health, your schedule and your preferences to address your own challenges.
Our teams’ knowledge doesn’t stop at nutrition; Constant Health dietitians receive ongoing training from our Director of Clinical Product and Behavioral Science, Dr. Segal, C.Psych to utilize principles of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and behaviour change science to not only guide you through information, but to discover sustainable ways to implement change, navigate roadblocks, form and most importantly maintain new habits.

Prescription medications can be a hugely helpful tool for some clients. Obesity is a chronic disease and medications can offer significant benefit for many people.
If you are prescribed medication designed to support weight loss we can work together to develop habits designed to maximize the efficacy of any prescribed therapies.
We would love to keep working with you! We hope, just like you wouldn’t stop brushing your teeth after you see the dentist, that you continue to practice the skills you’ve started to develop while participating in our program. Behavior change is about progress, not perfection; we’ve designed our follow-up program, Relapse Prevention, to make sure that you continue to progress.
Relapse Prevention is designed to offer you as much support as you need, when you need it. Whether you want to work on your own to set experiments, continue to work regularly with your dietitian to both practice and learn new skills, or to have a quick check in when you need a booster session; we’ve got a MODEL that will fit your needs.
