Medical weight care

Understanding weight, and what care can look like.

Weight is metabolic, not moral. Hunger, fullness and set point are run by hormones, and when biology is working against you, effort alone is an unfair fight. That is why weight care is medical care.

Free to start. You only pay if prescribed.

How the body regulates it

How the body regulates hunger and fullness.

Hunger, fullness and body weight are regulated by hormones the gut and brain release around meals. Understanding that system is what makes the assessment useful.

The hormone

A signal from the gut

After you eat, your gut releases hormones that tell the brain and pancreas food has arrived. They are part of how the body registers fullness.

Set point

Why weight is defended

When calorie intake falls, hunger hormones rise, fullness signals quiet down and metabolism adapts. That rebound is physiology, not failure, and it is why lasting change usually needs more than willpower.

What the assessment covers

History, medications and labs

Your health history, the medications you already take, labs where they are needed and your goals, reviewed privately by a clinician licensed in your province. Screening matters in this category and is taken seriously here.

Before anything is considered

What the assessment screens for

Tell your clinician if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, and share your personal and family medical history. Both change what a clinician can consider, and the assessment asks about each. Care also does not replace food, movement and sleep habits.

A licensed Canadian clinician decides what, if anything, is appropriate. That is what the assessment is for. Start free assessment

Before anything is decided

What the assessment covers.

Weight is regulated by the body, not by willpower alone, and the assessment is built around that. Here is what a clinician looks at before any decision is made.

Start free assessment

Free to start. You only pay if a clinician prescribes.

Not sure where to start? The assessment takes a few minutes and a licensed Canadian clinician decides.

  1. 01

    Your health history

    Your weight history, the conditions you live with, and the medications you already take.

  2. 02

    Labs, where they are needed

    A clinician arranges blood work when it will change the decision, and explains what they are looking at and why.

  3. 03

    What the assessment screens for

    Pregnancy or planning one, and your personal and family medical history. Each of these changes what a clinician can consider.

  4. 04

    What happens next

    A clinician licensed in your province reviews everything and decides what, if anything, is appropriate.

Body mass index is one of the factors clinicians use when assessing eligibility for prescription weight loss care.

Did you know?

A few numbers about Canada, and about how many people are in the same place as you.

Adults 18 to 79

68%

More than two thirds of Canadian adults aged 18 to 79 live with overweight or obesity.

If that is you, you are in the majority.

Statistics Canada, 2025

Since age 18

56%

More than half of Canadian adults have seen a big weight change since age 18.

A body that has changed is the usual body.

Statistics Canada, Health Reports 2025

On average

11 years

On average, 11 years pass before a Canadian living with obesity talks weight with a doctor.

Whenever you bring it up is on time.

ACTION Canada study, Clinical Obesity 2019

These figures describe how common these experiences are among Canadians. They are not results of any treatment.

The honest version

Biology first. Then everything else.

Why diets rebound

When you cut calories, the body defends its set point: hunger hormones rise, fullness signals quiet down, and metabolism adapts. That rebound is physiology, not failure, and it is why lasting change usually needs more than willpower.

When a clinician considers prescription care

Whether prescription care is appropriate depends on your health history, weight-related conditions and goals. It is one tool inside a plan, alongside food, movement, sleep and follow-up, and your clinician decides with you whether it is appropriate.

What the assessment covers

Health history, medications, labs where needed, and your goals, reviewed privately by a clinician licensed in your province. Screening matters in this category, and it is taken seriously here.

Worth knowing: the right medication for you depends on your health, your history and coverage, not on what is trending. That call is made with a clinician, and it is included in the price.

Clear pricing

Weight loss 101

Whether prescription care is appropriate depends on your health history, weight-related conditions and goals. Eligibility is always an individual clinical decision made in your assessment, and BMI is only one of the factors considered.

Every prescription option has potential side effects. Serious risks exist for some health histories, which is why screening and follow-up are built into every plan. Your clinician reviews the specifics of any prescribed medication with you.

Your plan

Sometimes. Depending on your history, your clinician may request labs before or during treatment. When labs are needed, your clinician explains exactly why and what they are looking at.

No. Your assessment is reviewed by a clinician licensed in your province, and everything happens online.

Practical

Curo serves patients across Canada. You are matched with a clinician licensed in your province, and delivery is free anywhere in Canada.

Your exact price is shown before you pay anything, and you pay nothing unless a clinician prescribes. Every price covers your medication, clinician follow-ups and shipping.

You are never locked in. If you want to stop, your clinician plans it with you rather than stopping abruptly, including what to expect and how to hold onto your habits.
