HOW ITS DONE
At HOW Clinics, we believe every client’s journey is deeply personal—yet all are connected by a common purpose: achieving lasting health, vitality, confidence and weight loss. From the moment you walk through our doors or virtually through our app, our expert team is here to support, guide, and empower you through a transformative path that begins with a personalized assessment and continues well beyond your initial goals. This isn’t just a program—it’s a partnership for lifelong wellness.
Foundations of Your Personalized Plan
Comprehensive Assessment – Connection to WHY – Goal Mapping – Orientation to Tools
We begin with a Comprehensive Assessment that explores your medical history, lifestyle habits, lab work, medical body composition, sleep patterns, and mental health—laying the groundwork for a holistic understanding of your health. This leads into a guided Connection to Your WHY, where we uncover the deeper, personal reasons behind your desire for change—beyond the scale or clothing size.
With this clarity, we move into Goal Mapping, where both identity-based and outcome-based goals are crafted to align with your values and vision for your future self.
Finally, we provide a thorough Orientation to Tools, introducing you to key supports like food tracking, habit monitoring, in-app features, and community access—ensuring you’re equipped, connected, and confident as you begin your journey.
Medical Management & Behavioral-Focused Support
Anti-obesity Medications – Nutrition and movement directive– behavioral coaching
In this phase, Medical Management is Initiated when appropriate, including evidence-based anti-obesity medications, sleep optimization strategies, and personalized metabolic support to enhance your body’s ability to heal and lose weight effectively.
Simultaneously, you’ll receive targeted Education Focus that builds foundational knowledge—covering Metabolism, healing foods and balanced meal construction, and the essential connections between sleep, stress, and hormone regulation.
Our integrated Behavioral Coaching shifts the focus from rigid perfectionism to sustainable consistency, helping you develop the mindset and habits needed for long-term success.
Re –assessment and resiliency building
Mind and body integration- Barrier Busting – Comprehensive Assessment
At this stage, we revisit and Update the Comprehensive Assessment to reflect your progress and evolving needs—reviewing your medical history, lifestyle changes, recent labs, sleep patterns, and mental well-being.
This re-assessment helps guide our next phase: Mind-Body Integration, where we address common plateaus, emotional triggers, and everyday stressors with a focus on building resilience and behavioral flexibility. Through Barrier Busting, you’ll receive real-time coaching for challenges like vacations, emotional eating, and social pressures.
We integrate practical Cognitive Behavioral Tools to help you manage cravings, recover from setbacks, and stay anchored in your goals. As one client put it: “I’m becoming more resilient. This time feels different.”—and that’s the transformation we’re here to support.
Sustain success & Strengthen future
Maintenance Mapping -Self-Trust Building – Future vision work
“This isn’t temporary. I have the skills to sustain this.”
This final phase focuses on long-term success through Mastery & Maintenance Planning. Together, we create a personalized maintenance map that supports your unique lifestyle—addressing food, sleep, stress, movement, and medication (if needed).
The goalis Self-Trust Building—helping you confidently navigate holidays, stress, and travel without falling back into old habits. You’ll develop “Bounce Back” strategies to manage setbacks with flexibility and self-compassion, rather than quitting.
We also take time to Celebrate Strengths, reviewing both scale and non-scale victories, while expanding your Future Vision—setting meaningful goals that go beyond weight, rooted in the strong, capable identity you’ve built.

Debbie Penner2025-01-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Update Jan 30/25 I am so pleased with the progress I am achieving with the guidance of my nurse Samantha. Being able to be open, honest and the ability to talk about anything (and I mean anything) has helped me. My goals seems to be an achievable reality now not a dream. I would suggest the HOW clinic if you are really serious to achieve you goals. The team are very tentative to all my silly questions are great supporters. I'm learning alot from the program and greatful to have zoom meeting possible due to weather conditions, keep me accountable for my actions.

The clinic is wonderful with friendly helpful staff. Jessica Penner2024-11-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been in the program with Samantha for a couple months and we feel so supported, welcomed, and able to be honest, open and able to communicate our wishes and needs from the program. We love Samantha and her humour through the process, and are so comfortable to ask the scary, intimidating questions, etc. Jesse the receptionist is lovely, and so helpful when booking our appointment and since we are out of town, she was able to help us figure out our zoom meetings if needed due to weather. This program makes me feel more accountable for the program itself. Natasha Price2024-11-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so glad that this clinic exists. I don’t know what I would do without the awesome staff and the wonderful support. It’s more than just a weight loss journey, it’s mental health as well. It goes hand in hand. Love the fact that they are excited about your journey and treat you like a human being with so much respect and kindness. They want you to succeed in your journey and are always there to listen to you and help you through whatever challenges you face. David Speers2024-11-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nurse Samantha could not be more accommodating, informative, creative and genuinely concerned for my health while achieving my goals. She always comes up with creative ways to meet and exceed my goals with different methodologies and new ideas for meals. I could not ask for a better, more encouraging mentor.

These are so convenient for my busy, working mom life. Personal check-ins keep me accountable to my nutrition and fitness goals. Dr. Le and Samantha answer my questions, provide recipes, teach new ways to energize my body. Cravings are a daily reality for me but I am learning to satisfy them with delicious, healthy foods. I am beginning to develop cravings for foods that serve my body, mind and taste buds too.
