Frequently asked questions.

Nothing out of pocket. The program is free with your provincial health card, covered through MSP in BC, Alberta Health, and OHIP in Ontario.

Optional 1:1 add-ons are available: sessions with a registered dietitian, physiotherapist, or counsellor. These are typically covered by insurance, and can also be paid through a health spending account or out of pocket.

It depends on your province. In BC and Alberta, you can join on a self-referred basis, no referral needed. In Ontario, a referral is required, but we handle it for you: once you begin onboarding, our team contacts your primary care provider and submits the request on your behalf.

You can still join!

If you do not currently have a Primary Care Provider, the process depends on your province:

British Columbia and Alberta: Patients without a Primary Care Provider may proceed with onboarding on a self-referred basis.

Ontario: Patients without a Primary Care Provider may be asked to visit a walk-in clinic first so a physician can review the program and provide a referral before onboarding can continue.

You qualify if you have a medical diagnosis of one or more of the conditions our programs cover. If you’re not sure, you can review the program with your doctor, and if they feel it’s appropriate they can send us a referral. Not sure which program fits? Book an intro call and we’ll help you decide.

The Better Health Programs are currently available in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. We’re actively expanding, with the goal of offering the program across Canada by 2028.

Never on your own, and never abruptly. As your blood sugar and other markers improve, some medications can often be safely reduced, always under physician supervision, and always with your family doctor kept in the loop.

The 12-week intensive phase is just the start. Afterward, the optional 12-month program offers monthly group visits and continued education to help you sustain and build on your results.

If you can join a video call, you can do this program. Sessions work on any computer, tablet, or phone, and our Patient Success team helps you get set up before your first visit.

Join today, it’s free.
