Weight Management

Comprehensive, Whole-Person Weight Management

When it comes to weight loss and weight management, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. 

Dr. Nicole Jolliffe ND brings a distinctive combination of expertise to this program: over a decade of experience as a dietitian specializing in nutrition counselling for weight management, paired with a background as a certified personal trainer with extensive experience in sports medicine. This dual foundation is layered with evidence-based naturopathic medical care, creating a program that addresses not just what you eat, but how you move, recover, and rebuild lasting strength. Her approach is structured into four clear steps designed to build a sustainable, personalized path to your health goals.

Step 1: Intake & Whole-Life Assessment

Weight management doesn't happen in isolation. A comprehensive intake goes beyond diet history to explore stress levels, sleep quality, day-to-day commitments, mental health, food sensitivities, dietary restrictions, and accessibility needs. Understanding the entire picture is the foundation for a plan that actually fits your life.

Step 2: Targeted Lab Work

Where clinically appropriate, lab work is used to assess hormonal health, identify nutrient deficiencies, and investigate any other concerns that surface during intake. This ensures the nutrition and movement plan that follows is built on a clear, individualized clinical picture rather than guesswork.

Step 3: Nutritional Analysis & Body Composition

Drawing on over a decade of dietetic experience, this phase identifies the real-life barriers standing in the way of progress and provides an evidence-based analysis of your body's daily nutritional needs. Body composition analysis is also included, offering deeper insight into muscle mass, body water, and cellular health—giving a fuller understanding of what's happening beneath the scale.

Step 4: Movement for Function, Strength & Longevity

As a former certified personal trainer with a background in sports medicine, Dr. Jolliffe designs achievable movement plans that go beyond calorie burn. The focus is on restoring function, improving muscle mass, and building lasting strength—supporting not just weight loss, but long-term mobility and longevity.

Ongoing Bi-Weekly Support

Life is challenging, and no plan is perfect. That’s why the program includes bi-weekly check-ins to review obstacles, track changes in energy, sleep, and stress, and adjust the plan as needed. This is about curating a lifestyle that works with you, not against you—continually pivoting as your journey evolves.

By combining over a decade of nutrition counselling experience, hands-on personal training expertise, and evidence-based naturopathic medical support, Dr. Nicole Jolliffe offers a truly comprehensive path to feeling your best and reaching optimal health.

Support Through Weight Loss Medications

For clients using weight loss medications, ongoing support can make a meaningful difference in both comfort and long-term success. Dr. Jolliffe works alongside clients to help manage and mitigate common medication side effects—such as changes in appetite, digestion, or energy—through targeted nutritional strategies. Her dietetic and naturopathic background is used to build lifestyle habits that integrate safely with medication use, protecting muscle mass, supporting nutrient needs, and helping ensure that any progress made is sustainable well beyond the course of treatment.

Patients on weight loss medications also benefit from the clinic’s broader expertise, including Dr. Yasmin Snippe, who brings over 20 years of experience in both naturopathic medicine and nursing to support safe, effective medication management alongside lifestyle care.

More Than a Number,
More Than a Plan

At its core, this program is about more than a curated nutrition plan or a number on a scale. Weight management is deeply personal, and it’s often tangled up with self-image, self-acceptance, and the everyday psychology of how we relate to food, our bodies, and ourselves. Dr. Jolliffe recognizes that lasting change isn’t just physical—it’s emotional too, and that having the right professional support can make all the difference in navigating that journey with clarity and confidence. But beyond clinical expertise, this is about having someone genuinely in your corner: a personal cheerleader who shows up for the wins, the setbacks, and everything in between, supporting you through every phase of life, not just the destination.
