Holistic Weight Management
Live Well I Stay Active I Eat Well
Holistic Weight Management Program
At Growlife Medical we recognise that weight management can be challenging, which is why we're thrilled to offer our new "Lighter Steps" program.
"Lighter Steps" is a holistic weight management program that focuses on long-term sustainable change rather than short-term transformations. The cornerstone of weight management remains good food and healthy movement. Medication and surgery are appropriate for some people, but their effectiveness depends on a good foundation in healthy lifestyle.
Our 4 week program is co-facilitated by both a GP and Accredited Practising Dietitian who use a compassionate, evidence-based approach to equip you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to live a healthy, enjoyable lifestyle regardless of the size of your body.
Weight Management Program Topics
In our 4-week program, we will examine together:
- Why is weight an issue for so many of us in our society?
- Why can't I keep the weight off?
- What is weight stigma and why does it matter?
- How do I make a healthy habit stick?
- What is my relationship with food? What is my relationship with my body?
- What is the right amount and type of food for me?
- Will exercise ever be enjoyable for me?
We know you are the expert in your own body and no doubt you have picked up nuggets of wisdom along your life journey. In our workshops, you will have opportunity to share your stories, thoughts and tips to support each other - though this is not compulsory. Through interactive activities, we will come up with practical, actionable strategies for your day-to-day circumstances. With "Lighter Steps", we will create healthier habits together - one step at a time.
