When you use our match form, we collect your name, email, phone, city, interest, and optional notes so we can connect you with a clinic partner.
What we share
We share match requests with clinics that may serve your area. We do not sell your data to unrelated marketers.
Storage
Requests are stored securely for operational follow-up and quality control. You can ask us to delete a request by emailing [email protected].
Not medical care
This site is not a healthcare provider. Do not submit sensitive clinical documents through the form.
Further reading for informed patients
Expanded patient guide: Privacy
Medical weight loss works best as a system: screening, behaviour supports, optional medication, side-effect management, and maintenance. Pages on this site isolate pieces of that system so you can learn without sales pressure.
If you are early in research, read cost and eligibility education before messaging clinics. If you are ready, use Start matching with specific goals.
Keep a personal log of weight trend, hunger, sleep, and side effects if you begin therapy later — clinicians make better adjustments with data.
Internal hubs: blog, services, conditions, diets, tools, guides.
Safety and expectations
Rapid loss is not always healthy loss. Protect lean mass with protein and resistance training. Escalate severe abdominal pain, allergic symptoms, or persistent vomiting per clinical advice — do not wait on a blog FAQ.
Educational directory only. Not medical advice. We do not prescribe.
Practical next steps for BC patients
If this page helped you understand options, convert learning into a short action list the same day. Write your primary goal in one sentence (for example, improve metabolic markers, prepare for a medication evaluation, or maintain after prior loss). List constraints: budget band, virtual-only needs, evenings only, or travel limits from your city. List medical context you are willing to share: PCOS, prediabetes, sleep apnea, medications, prior bariatric surgery, or past GLP-1 side effects.
Next, open three educational hubs on this site before you pay any clinic package: GLP-1 cost expectations in BC, how to choose a clinic, and the city page closest to where you can actually attend follow-ups. Cost surprises and commute friction cause most early drop-offs — not lack of motivation.
When you speak with a clinic, ask who the most responsible clinician is, whether drug cost is separate from program fees, what monitoring looks like at weeks 4–12, how plateaus are handled, and what maintenance support exists after goal weight. Write the answers down. Compare two clinics with the same questions rather than trusting the most polished Instagram grid.
Use calculators and diet guides as preparation, not as prescriptions. BMI, TDEE, and protein estimates ignore oedema, sarcopenia, kidney disease, pregnancy planning, and disordered-eating history. Bring outputs to a licensed professional who can adjust safely.
If you are ready for a human conversation, use Start matching so partner clinics with capacity can call you back. If you operate a clinic, see For Clinics for lead and placement products. This website is educational matching infrastructure — we do not prescribe medication and partner clinicians decide eligibility.
Stay sceptical of grey-market peptides, "research chemicals," and social media sellers promising the same results as regulated care at a fraction of the price. Read our guide on compounded semaglutide risks and escalate medical red flags (severe abdominal pain, allergic symptoms, persistent vomiting) through urgent care pathways — not through a directory FAQ.
Privacy practices (summary)
We collect information you submit (name, email, phone, goals, city preferences) to operate matching and respond to enquiries. Server logs may include IP and user-agent for security.
Lead data may be shared with partner clinics that need it to return your callback, and with processors (email, hosting, payments) under contracts.
We do not sell personal health stories as advertising audiences. Analytics tools may use cookies or similar technologies — see banner/settings if present.
Retention: operational lead records are kept as needed for routing, billing disputes, and abuse prevention, then deleted or anonymised on a reasonable schedule.
Contact ops via the email published on the site to request access/correction where applicable under BC/Canadian privacy expectations.

How to use this page (patient checklist)
Medical weight-loss care is personal. Use this page to prepare questions — not to self-prescribe. A clinician decides eligibility for medications such as GLP-1 therapies after reviewing history, labs, and contraindications.
- Goals: weight, metabolic health, mobility, sleep, or medication review.
- History: prior programs, surgeries, thyroid, diabetes, mental health, pregnancy plans.
- Logistics: in-person vs virtual, follow-up cadence, pharmacy access in BC.
- Cost: consult fees, medication coverage (private insurance / pharmacare nuances), lab work.
- Safety: side effects, when to call the clinic, emergency red flags.
What strong clinics usually explain up front
Look for clear consent language, realistic timelines, nutrition support, and a plan for maintenance after weight loss — not only a prescription. If a website promises guaranteed results or “no side effects,” treat that as a warning sign.
