NP-Led Medical Weight Management Program in St. John's, NL

Weight management is about more than a number on the scale. Our Nurse Practitioner-led program takes a comprehensive medical approach to understanding the factors that may affect your weight, appetite, metabolic health, and ability to make sustainable changes.

We combine medical assessment, InBody body-composition analysis, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, behavioural support, ongoing accountability and, when clinically appropriate, medication management.

No judgment. No quick fixes. No one-size-fits-all.

We Look Beyond the Scale

Weight is complex. Your assessment considers the factors that may be making weight management difficult for you—not simply how much you eat or how much you exercise.

Hunger & Food Noise — appetite, fullness, cravings and persistent thoughts about food
Eating Patterns — emotional eating, loss-of-control eating and restrictive patterns
Metabolic Health — glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol and other metabolic risk factors
Medications & Medical Conditions — factors that may influence weight, appetite or treatment options
Muscle & Body Composition — preserving muscle while reducing excess body fat
Function & Lifestyle — sleep, stress, pain, mobility and what is realistic in your life

How It Works

1. Start with your comprehensive consultation
We assess your health, weight history, body composition, appetite, eating patterns, medications, metabolic health and goals.

2. Receive your personalized care plan
We develop your recommendations around your individual assessment—not a predetermined diet or generic program.

3. Begin with six months of structured support
Your ongoing care begins with a six-month program of regular NP follow-up, weekly check-ins, treatment adjustments and progress monitoring. At the end of six months, we’ll review your progress and ongoing needs together. Care may continue beyond the initial six months when appropriate.

4. Measure more than weight
We look at body composition, metabolic health, eating patterns, medication response, strength, function and other meaningful indicators of progress.

InBody 380

Why We Use InBody Technology

A traditional scale only shows your total weight. InBody analysis provides a more detailed picture of your body composition, helping us understand what may be changing beneath the number on the scale.

We assess:

✓ Body fat
✓ Skeletal muscle mass
✓ Visceral fat
✓ Body water and hydration
✓ Basal metabolic rate
✓ Phase angle and fluid-distribution trends

InBody helps us track changes in body fat, visceral fat, muscle mass, and body composition over time—because meaningful progress isn't always reflected in the number on the scale.

The scale does not tell the whole story.

Please reach us at info@lbmawellness.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Do I need weight loss medication?

Not necessarily. Medication is only one potential part of medical weight management. Your treatment plan is based on your health history, goals, appetite and eating patterns, body composition, metabolic health, lifestyle and individual needs. When clinically appropriate, we can discuss medication options as part of your personalized care plan.

How often will I need follow-up appointments?

Your six-month program includes up to 30 minutes of scheduled Nurse Practitioner weight-management follow-up each month. You can use this as one 30-minute appointment or two 15-minute appointments, completed in person or virtually when clinically appropriate.

You will also receive weekly electronic check-ins to help us monitor progress and make adjustments when needed. Additional appointments are available at standard clinic rates.

Can I participate if I'm already taking a weight management medication?

.Yes. We can review your current treatment and help optimize your results.

How much does the consultation cost?

The Comprehensive Medical Weight & Metabolic Health Consultation is currently available at an introductory rate of $149 through October 31.

Beginning November 1, the consultation fee will be $229.

The consultation fee includes the appointments required to complete your initial assessment and develop your personalized care plan.

The initial consultation is separate from the ongoing six-month program fee.

Will I lose muscle while losing weight?

Some loss of lean mass can occur during weight loss, so muscle preservation is an important part of our approach. We consider nutrition, protein intake, physical activity and resistance exercise when appropriate, and use InBody body-composition assessments to follow changes in muscle mass and body fat over time.

Our goal is to support fat loss while preserving as much muscle and physical function as possible.

Can my appointments be done virtually?

Your initial assessment includes an in-person component so we can complete your physical assessment and InBody 380 body-composition analysis.

After your initial assessment, we may offer many follow-up appointments virtually when clinically appropriate. An in-person appointment may still be required when physical examination, measurements or other clinical assessment is needed.

What happens after the first six months?

The program begins with an initial six-month care plan. Near the end of that period, we will review your progress, treatment needs and goals together.

Weight management is often long-term care. If ongoing support would be beneficial, care may continue beyond the initial six months based on your individual needs.

What does the six-month program cost?

Clients enrolling through October 31 receive introductory pricing of $99 per month for the first six months.

Beginning November 1, the program fee will be $129 per month for the first six months.

The initial Comprehensive Medical Weight & Metabolic Health Consultation is separate from the monthly program fee.
